I purchased this for use in colder weather when conventional butane lighters don't work all that well. As expected when very cold the battery life was short, but worked well. Since the weather has warmed up, I have had no issues with battery life. Charging is quick. The arc is positioned well for lighting cigarettes. I am very happy with this purchase.

Excellent service. Great product. Fast delivery

I had this lighter for about two years before it was stolen from me at a party. I will be buying another one to replace my old one. Fantastic lighter, reliable and works great in windy conditions. I have used this thing in the middle of a blizzard and it works perfectly. It's really portable and convenient. Just watch out, if you're not careful people might steal it from you.

Well designed and very pretty as well

I have been using it for 4 days, all day, since it came. Looks elegant and is made well. It was heavier then I thought. Works well and is truly wind resistant, has not blown out even in strong wind. Easy to use, has an indicator light on the bottom to let you know when to recharge. Recharging takes about an hour, battery lasts all day. No more disposable lighters to purchase and throw away. A great purchase over all.

Graphics and carvings outside are amazing! And metal quality is pretty sturdy and good. Has a bit of weight to it but compact. It's a looker in a party. But, the head opens up only so far and the spark is so low and close to the lighter, so it takes a while to light up. Light indicator of the charge level is good. But the lowest level still means no charge, weird. Discharges pretty quickly for back to back quick uses, also considering the light up time. Overall, nice looking one to have but not as a primary source of light.

Small compact and ideal for the task

Purchased 4 of these for the smokers in my family and friends. Very good quality and aesthetically nice as well. Love the rechargeable part about these lighters. Two family members work outside and these work perfectly.

I'd like to touch on some key elements about this lighter!1. It's surprisingly heavy and has a nice feel in the hand. Construction feels really solid and the charge LED glass meets the metal housing flawlessly smooth. Not a requirement lol, but a plus. It's not too thick or too long either. I was expecting it to be more bulky because it's an electric device. Another review called it the Nokia of lighters, I can see why. lol2. ****Battery life & Charging****! Personally, I think it's awesome. It takes an hour to give it a full charge, and I've been measuring the device's battery life by the number of pre-rolls it lit before it needed another charge. It was seventeen 1G pre rolls over the course of 2 days, between 2 people, and includes re-lights, and half smoked and picked it up again. I based it just on the consumption. I think that's pretty good!HUGE MINUS - the cable is maybe 3 inches long MAYBE. It's comically tiny, and equally useless. GET ANOTHER CABLE when you order this it's a Micro USB. It's really disappointing the cable length sucks, but I have one of my own to use. The cable pack I have is Amazon item number B0B71CKL48. You can search that and check them out.3. It's generally easy to use, but it takes some getting used to. It lights pretty easily, but those 4 pointy prongs are exposed and it's easy to snag the end of a joint or cigarette and have the cherry fall out while you're trying to get it going. So be careful while you're adjusting to it! My husband doesn't seem to like it as much as I do, but I'm tired of ordering bic all the time. :)Happy camper in WA StateStay Squatchy out there.

I wanted to like it, I really did.But after the FIRST use of this lighter (single stick ignition), it was put back into the trouser pocket.Inside the pocket, it started to get increasingly hotter so I had to remove it. It carried on getting hotter until I could no longer hold it and had to place it onto a platform (see picture).There was a burning smell and smoke coming from the unit at this point.I left it there until it was cool enough to pick up.Naturally, it has not been able to ignite since.So - literally one ignition and no more.But it's the safety issue that concerns me the most.Could have easily burnt me or set something on fire if left unattended.Dangerous item.

I got this after a friend gave me a light with his, and I was like, "What's a plasma lighter?" These things are so cool! Really, the only downside is the battery life- -which is the reason I only gave it four overall stars. As far as functionality and cool factor, it's Five+. Basically, plan to recharge it every day. Especially when you first get it, it will run out faster because you'll probably find yourself fiddling with it, and lighting it just for fun. A note on usability: unlike a normal flame lighter- -where you don't want to look straight down on it, in order not to singe your eyebrows- -with these there is very little heat beyond about a quarter of an inch away from the plasma. Since the plasma forms an X pattern, you basically want your smoke to point straight down on top of the lighter as shown in the first picture, hovering just above the plasma. It will automatically shut off after 7 seconds, but if you need more heat just release the button and press it again. It's not designed for sustained heat, so don't rinse and repeat that very many times without letting it cool down. One other side note: If you like to fiddle with things, you might find yourself opening and closing the lid- -as the lighter is pleasing to hold in the hand, and the lid is well built and it's satisfying to actuate it. Well one time I quite surprised myself by accidentally pressing the ignition button while my thumb was also up in contact with the bottom two nodes. It gave me quite a shock ( pun intended :-) and left a mark- -two little dots where the nodes were and a thin line connecting them. Now it's half a day later and I was going to take a picture of that too, but it's already gone. The plasma automatically cuts off when the lid closes, so it's actually pretty hard to have it happen. I tried for a little bit to do it again on purpose (just cuz that's how I roll :-) and haven't been able to- -so it's unlikely to happen, but worth noting. A huge plus feature that this lighter has, that my friends doesn't, is the charge indicator lights. My experience has been that the progression of use correlates well with the indication of the lights, and the battery seems to give pretty consistent performance throughout each of the four indicators. It's also nice that the last one starts blinking when the lighter is getting close to running out of juice. It charges pretty fast too - - I haven't actually timed it, but I think it only takes a couple of hours. Inevitably, future versions will have better battery life - - but these are inexpensive enough that I'll probably get a spare just in case something happens to this one. Also, since they're powered by a lithium cell they should hold a charge without use for a very long time, so the spare should be reliably fully charged.UPDATE 10/30/2020: Using a Quick Charge 18W 3A charger, I checked it after *1 hour*, and it was FULLY CHARGED!!
