" ... By contrast, this lighter arrived charged (a nice and convenient touch) in a nice looking box (another nice touch), the charging cable appears to be quite a bit sturdier, it has an indicator to let you know the battery’s status, it is larger than the Bolt but is no heavier, and may even be lighter weight, and there’s a brush included – however because the plasma arcs are so hot, they can light a cigarette (or whatever) without having to make direct contact, you merely have to get it close and i ...

" ... It works great and looks nice, although it very easily collects fingerprints. ... "
" ... I would have been happy if it had not caught any but nice to know I need to spray some more. ... "
" ... The first thing I realized though is that it should be cleaned after every use to keep the arcs crossing (which is the best way to light up). ... "
" ... It also includes a brush to clean the arcs with. ... But that’s what the brush it for. ... "
" ... One key that i recommend is using the brush it comes with or some other soft bristle brush to keep electrodes clean. ... "
" ... And super convenient that it even came with a little cleaning brush for when it gets dirty. ... "
" ... Two other tips: 1 be sure the electrodes have cooled before using the plastic brush to clean it (I tried cleaning it a lot to try to rectify the bad arc) and 2 it isn't a taser but still do not touch the arc. ... "
" ... Easy to keep clean and sometimes the electrodes can get a little dusty so I suggest cleaning it once in awhile either by blowing on it or using a small brush. ... "

Inlet Outlet Pipe

+50%
-50%
" ... I was hoping it would generate heat and that the heat alone would light the herb (I bought it for a pipe). ... But you have to touch the element to the object being lit, which is kind of impossible when you're lighting a pipe. ... I think it would work great with candles during a vigil or protest, but if you're seeking to use it to light a pipe you should look elsewhere. ... "
" ... It doesn't fit into the bowl of a pipe, and wouldn't reach a candle wick 9 times out of 10. ... Basically if the outside of your pipe is no more than twice the distance between the prongs and the lid you'd be ok so it'd need to be 11 or 12mm total width including the walls of the pipe or it will not work. ...
