Big Arc Lighter Magical “Flame” USB Rechargeable Plasma Electric Cool Lighter (Colorful)

--UPDATE-- Still loving this! I just purchased a replacement because the cap was getting loose on my original (which means you can't light it without two hands). In the photo, the lighter on the left has seen daily usage for a year and a half, whereas the right is the one I received today. The colour and finish are almost as bright as when I got it, and I'm not easy on it (I will frequently smother my bowl with the side of the lighter when it gets going too much). I was honestly really impressed that the colour didn't peel/flake/fade or otherwise distort. Great purchase! Great gift! --ORIGINAL-- Got this for my birthday just before Christmas. Had to get another one because my partner keeps stealing mine! Works great with my Red Eye Tek bong-no damage or issues even when pressing the arc against the glass. When burning out the end of a bowl you will go through the charge fast, so having a backup is a good idea if you’re not going to be around a source of electricity for a while. It’s so much better than a disposable but works just as well (and without the garbage, or lighter fluid taste). Feels like a zippo in the hand, and the click of the cap closing is really satisfying.

Possibly one of the best items I've bought in Amazon. Top ten easy. Sleek. Sterdy. Flawless

BZZZZT It works! it works in wind (maybe not super high wind) It works in any kind of weather. Works when it's hot or cold.. Probably because its' electric. Where I need a spark, I have it. And it's perty' too! Battery life is pretty good and it charges rather quick. Seller is interested in customer satisfaction, great lil gizmos, and the finish is almost too nice to get finger prints all over. Love it, and been giving them out as gifts, too.

This is a very good lighter. I have several arc lighters. Most of them have some point I like a lot. But this one has a couple things that stick out for me. First, it feels heftier than the others. The only thing I can think of for extra weight is a heavier battery. Which, as with all electronic devices, means longer use between charges. I charged it from 50% to full in under an hour. The one thing different with this one is that is charges with a C type USB connection. No big deal, because it comes with a C charge cable included. But if you have your "favorite" micro USB charger, just know it won't work. I have to admit, though, I am liking the C type better because there is no upside down way to insert the plug. Might seem like a minor thing unless you are like me and hate the puzzle of getting a micro into the plug. Another thing I really like about this lighter is that the switch to turn it on is a positive press-click button. Seems like many arc lighters have a touch-sensitive on/off button. Another plus is that when you let go, the arc goes off. And it will come right back on with a push rather than having to close the lid and reopen it--a hassle I don't care for. Upon opening the lid, it has the standard battery meter; 25, 50, 75, and 100% on the front just under the ignite switch. You won't get that from a Zippo. My usage for lighters is mostly for lighting sticks of incense, and this works great for that. But the one thing this one will do that I have so far NOT been able to do with other arc lighters is to light a pipe. The arc is wider than most and the posts are a little taller and enables the arc to be "sucked down" into the bowl to light the pipe. To pipe smokers, this is a great improvement for arc lighters. Of course, it will do all the normal things one might use a lighter for: cigarettes; piece of paper to light the trash; or lighting some wood shavings to start a campfire. And the larger arc will easily light a candle if your electricity goes out. I purchased the black lighter. It is also available in the multi-color style, too. I know the vendor for these and he is very trustworthy and accommodating if, for some reason, you have a problem. A couple years ago, I had a problem with a different style lighter and the readout. They took care of it immediately. I have said before that customer service is EVERY bit as important as the quality of the product itself. So, if you are in need of a lighter and would like to get away from the messy filling of fluid lighters or just don't want to fill the landfills with more plastic Bics and Crickets, this will be a great unit for you to own. Keep breathin' folks.

Really cool and very different than the butane lighters I have used in the past. The arc is very powerful and honestly I bet you could use this as a stun gun if needed (please don’t do that!). USB charging and well packaged. The metal casing on the lighter is beautiful and smooth and lid pops open and closed easily. I have a pinkish iridescent one and a special gold version as well (thanks very much to the seller)! One button operation and the battery life is decent, even if used for “longer sessions”. It lights in intervals of several seconds and can be lit repeatedly to get a semi continuous heat. One thing - compared to fire lighters, it is very quiet! No loud click and hiss. But the electricity is very intense and I can hear it! Be very careful and don’t touch your wedding ring etc to the contacts to keep yourself safe.
