" ... I have had this lighter for over a week now. ... The only flaw is that the one i got is not working complete, out of four nodes that light up, only two work strong but the other two are weak and don't produce enough heat hence the cross flame is half lit and half not so much, that's why it takes a long time to light up a cigarette and that means the charge will drain in half a day, it would have been a good lighter if all sides would have worked properly. ... This might be a defective one that i got. ... "
