    I am a prepared individual that also smokes bowls and I have found this lighter to work great with my hemp wick method of smoking. On the prep side it looks as if you can pop battery out just by pulling on the top and separate it from it’s case then it looks as if you could disconnect the battery from the ignition element for a more Macgyver style do what ever you want kind of lighter if you know what I mean.And on the down side it looks as if the terminals are melting a little after very little use. I am now trying to clean them which is making them a bit loose but they still work. Hopefully that helps you y’all some one out there.

      I mean...tacticool ferro rods only light certain things. They're completely pointless. Their only purpose is to make people feel more special for getting a simple fire lit. Just buy a damn lighter! lol. These are ideal for smokers. They're not for campfires. Though you could just carry tinder around like you have to anyway with ferro rods.
      Edit. Ohhh. you mean THOSE certain things! Actually, you can get arc lighters that have an optional butane torch, which is ideal for those things

      They just don't want you to keep it in the car because the battery doesn't like it.

I have learned that when the word tacticool is used, the gung-ho dumbass types jumps right on it. I've also learned that there is no such thing as tacticool, yes I know it's a play on tactical but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

    Pretty sure why you can’t leave in areas above 120 Fahrenheit is that lithium ion battery. Another YTer was claiming that you could have unlimited lights as long as you had solar panels. Oof 😣. Glad you point out the quality. That is my one big gripe about electrical items for survival. I don’t necessarily have a problem with Chinese manufacturers, for the reasons you point out, it’s just if there is an American manufacturer, even at a somewhat higher price I prefer to support them. Just look at the whole mask thing.

    It's expensive at $20 and it still uses outdated microUSB charging, but as of Oct 2023 Zippo makes an electric arc insert for its lighters. So, you can retrofit the arc convenience into your metal Zippo shell ... maintaining the Zippo sound and feel.

  • @gooseknack
    @gooseknack 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Was just thinking about the plastic case.. It has to be plastic as its an Arc lighter. 😂.. a metal case would increase the risk of receiving a nasty tingle.
    I assume the waterproof nature means it can work even in wet conditions(electrodes having been wet). Assuming you dry water/moisture from the case and around the electrodes to prevent the nasty tingle. Have purchased one of these before watching the video, so will be testing it.
    Bought one due to the slow growing difficulty of finding matches and disposable "bic" butane lighters in Australia. We can buy the refillable kitchen lighters, buying the refills and adapters is not so easy. Gas kitchen appliances and smoking are almost dead here. Even camping stoves are going with piezoelectric igniters. Of course, can use a camping gas stove to light another medium to light the campfire. 😊

  • @tinkerscorner54
    @tinkerscorner54 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For your truck . . . a box or two of matches in a glad bag in the glove box still works just fine.
    I found one of these plasma lighters in a trash can, of all places. I thought it was a butane lighter at first but didn't see where to fill it and the search led me here. I appreciate the review and I guess I have a new toy to play with. In all honesty, I'd never heard of a "Plasma" lighter until just a few minutes ago.
    Thanks for the video!

    Glad I watched this, I gave up the devil lettuce about 8 months ago, but I smoke cigars. I rarely smoke stogies, but my preferred cigar is a backwoods port. I am hopeful that this lighter will work with this brand of cigars because they have a rough cut end, and lots of loose tobacco hanging out, which I think will light with this lighter. So I think I’ll give it a try. I have a question though, do you know how long this lighter will last with constant use? I have purchased refillable butane torch lighters, and I find that the lighter stops working before the butane cylinder is empty.

    Get a 28w folding solar and this usb rechargeable plasma lighter will become a sustainable and perpetual solution to start a fire. There is also other version with a removable li-ion battery, should you be concerned about keeping the lighter in warm conditions. Just remove the battery and you should be fine leaving the unit in your car. Also ABS plastic is probably way more impact resistant than your metal lighter. Not only does ABS plastic extremely tough, it absorbs the shock and impact and stays intact. This is the reason why car bumpers are made with ABS plastic. Not all plastics are created the same.

    i disagree. those e-lighters are amazing. they can light almost anything and also give of bright light if you are in a cave or very dark areas and last a very very long time like im talking about days at a time if you just keep it on its crazy. also the light will keep bad people and animals away from you.

    Everything is made in China. You can mitigate, but it’s hard to do. Even nuts and blots at your local hardware stores are made in China. I bet the parts for zippo and bic are made in China
