Use it to fend off young people
This is a an excellent lighter. It’s super reliable, looks cool, and doesn’t require any flammable liquids. But we discovered it has a secondary use that makes me want to keep it with me every day. When I hold down the button, I just hear the crackle of the electric sparks. But my daughter, who is 28, hears a piercing high-pitched squeal. I tested it out. People younger than 40 can’t stand the sound of it. Gen Xers don’t hear it at all! I no longer have to endure the presence of the snowflake generations – complaining about how difficult the world is and blah, blah, blah… I just flick my bic and they scatter.

Quality tool and worth every penny
I’ve been using it for weeks now, and I think it’s great. I just added a second to my shopping cartso I’ll always have a fully charged backup. It would be nice if it had a charge level indicator so that you could know when you definitely didn’t need a backup, but that’s honestly my only mild complaint. It does however, have a blue LED to indicate charging and it lasts decently long, given how quickly it charges. It works flawlessly to very near the end if you use it right. It requires no fuel besides a sip of electricity and there are no flints to replace. It’s clean, so you never have to taste lighter fluid or what it becomes when burned. It’s very solidly built with tight tolerances, safety, and durability in mind. It took me a day or two to figure out how to really use it properly. For lighting cigarettes, you want to draw the plasma to the end rather than trying to insert the end into the crossing plasma streams. You could use it to light a cigar, but there are probably better options. That said, to draw the plasma to the end of the cigarette, I found that short quick bursts of suction (like lighting a cigar) works best and wastes the least amount of stored electricity. I’ve also found that it helps to hold near the middle of the cigarette with your off-hand to help maintain steadiness while “puffing” and a close constant distance from the plasma streams. It’s not impossible to use in the wind, but it’s certainly not ideal. It’s more difficult and therefore tends to drain the internal battery faster. It helps to draw the plasma to the paper first as it ignites much more easily than the tobacco. The safety works great if you use it. I have no fear of it going off in my pocket. That would be bad, so not using the safety latch would almost literally be playing with fire. It stays out of the way nicely if you have a good reason not to use it though.

For me, pretty waterproof, and worked good
I bought this just to have for emergencies,I left it in my pants and put it through the wash.It still worked, it was a little glitchy for a very short period (still worked) but the X wasn’t as perfect) period of time, and then completely worked as it should, and it’s still workingAnd that was an 45 minutes underwater being swished around.

Poor battery life, hard-to-use flashlight, hard-to-use plasma
The battery life on the item I received was pretty terrible. It seemed it could run the flashlight on dim for only an hour or so.The plasma feature is what I really got it for, but the lack of extender really limits its utility. Getting my fingers that close to whatever I’m trying to ignite can create difficulties for all kinds of applications. For example, lighting candles is pretty awkward, since you have to get quite a bit of bulk close to a small target. Additionally, I wouldn’t dare use this to light charcoal or anything with an accelerant on it; you need to light something else on fire first to avoid burning yourself. But lighting other things, like paper, isn’t as easy as you might think: the plasma heats up a small enough area that it can be a challenge to keep the paper/kindling lit.The flashlight doesn’t remember its last setting, so I also found myself constantly cycling through all of the modes to get to the one I always want, and one of those modes you have to go through is an annoying flash mode.I kept mine, because it does work for emergencies, but ended up happier with one that has an extendable plasma end and no flashlight, since the flashlight on this was basically useless and I can just get a really nice small one elsewhere.

I have always wanted to have a lighter and this one is everything and plus more. The light is bright enough to fill up a dark room. Size fits perfectly in the palm and really appreciate the good quality whistle that came along with it. Build quality is amazing with the housing. Haven’t tested under water yet, but I don’t suppose it is for diving anyway. A perfect gift for yourself or others.Update: The disco light while using the lighter unnecessarily takes up battery charge. Also, price almost halved since I bought last month. Certainly doesn’t inspire good feelings.
