lafagiet USB C Rechargeable Lighter, 360° Flexible Neck, Wind & Water Proof, Electric Arc Lighters for Candle, Camping...

Very cute and useful

I use this in my Jeep when the top is off & I want light a cigarette. No more having to wait for a stop light lol.

This works really well with smoking bowls. I bought this for my mother-in-law for her cigarettes. I tested it before Christmas with my weed. Works really well with bowls. I love the double coils. She loves it too. 01/10/2024 Update: -Electric double prong lighters are awesome for bowls.. but when you've blackened the top of the bowl, it takes a bit more with an electric lighter to light what is below of the burnt weed.

This is my first electric lighter, so it was interesting, if not comical, the first time I used it. At first, even though I knew it was a different kind of lighter that used a completely different method to start a fire, I still tried to use it like a traditional bic lighter. Let me emphasize, this does not work like a traditional lighter (duh). It looks almost like foreign, alien technology when it lights a candle (I love the pretty, northern-lights-looking green hues that happen when the plasma arc touches the wick). In practice, it works best if used like car cigarette lighter. For those of you not old enough to remember what car cigarette lighters are, once upon a time, cars had built-in cigarette lighters and ashtrays. It was basically just a heat resistance lighter that sat in your 12v outlet. You pushed a button, waited for the element to get red hot, pulled it out of the after 20ish seconds, and lit your cigarette. It was kind of slow, not very versatile as it was mostly only good for lighting cigarettes, but it was always there, wind didn't matter, and it never ran out of "fluid." This is better than a car cigarette lighter because you can take it anywhere without having a car attached, you don't have to wait for it to get hot, and it still has the advantages of a car cigarette lighter, while being much more versatile because it's also great at lighting candles and any other kind of fire. I had no problem lighting candles, even deep ones. The extending nodes are great for many applications. But I had a little trouble lighting cigarettes until I figured out to use it like a car lighter instead of like a traditional bic lighter. After I figured that out, I had no more issues lighting cigarettes. The surface around the ceramic nodes gets a bit dirty after a while, but I haven't experienced this interfering with the function of the lighter. It just works. I'm reasonably happy with the battery life, and it charges pretty quickly. I really like that it uses USB-C to charge. USB-C cables are everywhere, and anyone who uses an Android phone or tablet will have these laying around. A battery life indicator would be a nice improvement. Not knowing how low the battery is might be a peace of mind while camping. Of course, a battery bank would solve this issue. Who goes camping with electronics without a battery bank? And frankly, the battery on this lighter is good enough to last for days, even for a heavy smoker. You'd have to forget to charge it many days in a row to run out of battery. And if all you have to do is start a fire occasionally, I wouldn't worry about running out of battery. I'm happy with the lighter. All that remains to be seen is how long it lasts. I'd say it works as described.

We have to light 24 candles every day at work. Not the wax ones, the little ones filled with alcohol. They use up those long BBQ style lighters about every 3 days. This has solved the issue and much more sustainable. Needs to be charged about 1 time per week. The candles don't light very easily. I have also used this to light lantern, stoves and other people's cigarettes. Why 4 stars? It has a high pitched squeal that some older folks can't hear, but it's audible.
