Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Revolutionary USB Rechargeable Plasma Lighter - Windproof Flameless, with Battery Indicator (Upgraded) - Perfect for Fire, Cigarette, Candle - Outdoors Indoors (Bright-Black) by Dana Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compact and handy (but fragile)

The Sipoe windproof arc lighter is compact, not much larger than a conventional lighter, decently heavy, amazingly stylish and always lit. No jet of flame to set your face on fire, no skinned thumb from the spinning beater wheel, no refills required, just reload. All in all, I'm very happy with it. How long it will last, whether it can explode (mostly a battery) and how durable it is (I doubt it will survive a fall onto cement or even a wooden floor) remains to be seen. It's also a messy fingerprint magnet with its smooth finish versus matte. UPDATE: After a week or so of use, I can't imagine going back to a traditional lighter. I like it, it's comfortable, lights up quickly, lasts a few days on a single charge and so far has been reliable. What I don't like is how easily the glossy surface scratches and leaves fingerprints. I hope they make an "exciting" matte version. UPDATE 2: 7 months and 2 drops later and the charging connector is loose enough that it needs to be positioned correctly to charge the device. TL:DR; Never drop the device and find a rubber protector to avoid damaging the internal components if you do so. Luckily I now have a next generation version of this lighter too so this lighter will serve as a backup from time to time until I decide to throw it away and get another so I always have two on hand.

Pros
  • Lighters and matches
Cons
  • unreliable
