Nice lighter.

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!!

flame needs to be alitlle higher

Se lo compre a mi esposo y mi hijo quería uno

for the first time in a long time have i actually loved a new tech gadget!!! i vape and rarely have lighters bc they always get stolen. Bics are the most stolen thing in the world. however, i saw this when i got a gift card and I have kept and eye on it. Well ordering it was a hassle caused by a hiccup, have no fear Amazon as amazing as they are replaced and reshipped it.. i am so happy they did, it works great came fully charged and is a really cool design!!! I think every techie (adult) should have one
