This was the cheapest price I could find on this lighter, only $21.75 Shipped! Every other online listing I could find for this device was $30 or more. I received it 5-days after placing the order & everything was as described. Ive only been using it for a few hours but so far this thing ROCKS! I mean its a lighter that produces a F-ING PLASMA BEAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! If you're a Star Wars or SyFy fan in general, how could you not be in AWE over this awesome little device, but I digress.
The fact that these are manufactured in China doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence regarding the build quality & QT (Quality Control), however China occasionally surprises me with decent quality devices at very reasonable prices, so I'm hoping that's the case here. The finish on it is quite nice but as with most glossy finishes it scratches VERY easily, so keep that in mind if you store it in a pocket or bag with loose change or whatnot. I would recommend keeping it in your 5th pocket by itself, however if your going to put it in a back pack, hand bag or purse then I highly suggest you put it into the little velvet pouch that it came with first, that way the finish will be protected from change or other loose items. If scratches on the finish is a concern, then you could always buy a clear vinyl LCD screen protector & cut it to fit the Tesla lighter, just a suggestion.
So far I'm pretty impressed with this Tesla Coil Lighter, however this is essentially just a first impressions, only time will tell how good the tech & build quality is in the long run.
MAKE SURE TO READ THE SAFETY WARNINGS! This device is so simple to use that it doesn't even need an instruction manual, however it comes with some Safety Warnings that you should ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND! I'll just cover the important ones:
DO NOT keep the flame lit for more than 5 seconds at a time. First off, I just want to clarify that this device DOES NOT produce a flame, it produces a Plasma Arc Beam, so I'm not sure why it says "flame" in the safety manual but I digress. In regards to the proper use & longevity of this device I think this is probably the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING to keep in mind. Plasma arc beams produce a significant amount of heat & energy, so if this device is only designed to handle that heat & energy for 5-seconds at a time, then you would be VERY WISE to heed that advice. I noticed that several of the bad reviews on this device (which are few & far between) seemed like they could very possibly be user error & NOT a defect of the device. I'd bet money that most of the "Mine died in 3 days" or "Worked great for a week & then stopped working" reviews are because of user error & NOT a defect of the device. Now don't get me wrong here, even with the best QT there's always an occasional defective unit, however I strongly suspect that user error is the main cause in a lot of the bad reviews. I can just imagine zealous people getting these & immediately chucking the Safety Warnings in the trash, then ignorantly use the device improperly by continually firing it for over 5sec, WHICH IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR! Then when the device stops working they call it a POS, leave a bad review & then expect a replacement or refund for their own ignorance. You know certain people (Pyro's) will be firing these things like CRAZY, burning as many different materials as possible just to see what happens. Now I completely understand wanting to experiment with these & see how the plasma beam effects different materials, however its not very difficult to READ THE SAFETY WARNINGS FIRST, use the device PROPERLY & ALWAYS DO THINGS RESPONSIBLY!
In a nut shell: DO NOT FIRE THE BEAM FOR LONGER THAN 5sec AT A TIME & DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE DEIVCE! When the Red Charging Indicator Light goes out UNPLUG THE DEVICE ASAP! Follow these two VERY SIMPLE instructions & you should enjoy your Tesla Coil Lighter for years.
Another important Safety Warning:
DO NOT LET CHILDREN GET A HOLD OF THIS DEVICE. These devices are essentially tasers, so if bare skin contacts the plasma beam it will burn the area & send a shock through your body (NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE!). There is a YouTube video where a guy has a similar plasma lighter & he touches the beam with his bare finger, needless to say he quickly regretted it. So if you have kids & especially rebellious teens, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TESLA LIGHTER!

Great lighter, No added tastes to what you are smokeing.
Got this last year and loved it. Got so many looks from fellow smokers during smoke breaks at work. The space between the contacts is small but can light most cigarettes just fine. I have not tried this with cigars so I can not comment on how well it preforms there.The taste of your tobacco seems cleaner with this too. No chemical fuel taste or sulfur taste. After using this for some time I can really tell the taste difference between this, a standard Bic style lighter, and matches.Unfortunately, mine stopped working about a week ago. The button does not depress anymore and the lighter will not work. When I plug it in the charge indicator lights up and will turn green after several minutes as if it is charged, but it no longer works. Either the battery became fully discharged and there for killed the lithium cell(s), the circuit could not take my level of use (half a pack to a pack a day), or the button is damaged (most likely). I did get almost 10 months out of this and the price seems to have come down since I bought it. I did keep it in my pocket with my keys and other every day items so I am assuming it is all my fault which is why I still rate this well.So if you are looking for a cool lighter that will surprise people this is not a bad option. If you just want a lighter that works stick with a Bic (I have ones that are years old and still have some fluid and still light). I may have just been a little to hard on mine though and it may last longer for you.

This is an electric lighter that is charged by a USB cable. It takes around an hour to charge and lasts for many days. It charges just fine for a minute if you can't wait for it to charge 100%.
The two small tips that look like a miniature taser is where the electricity flows (or, archs) - molecules are excited and they combust. Similar to a miniature plasma gun.
The great thing about this lighter is that you won't burn your hands. You can light quite a few candles and not worry about dealing with ashes or burning your thumb on using a butane lighter. I don't smoke cigarettes, but a friend purchased a similar lighter and loves it for this purpose - he can simply recharge in his car and be on his way to work.
I'm not sure how it performs lighting larger objects. I see a lot of people lighting the edges of a cigar - I think that may be possible. But, for the price, does it matter? My pictures doesn't do the lighter much justice, but it's a classy looking piece of technology - just don't electrocute yourself!
