Review on πŸ”‹ ARECTECH Rechargeable Electric Arc Lighter for Candle, Kitchen, Camping - Green by Tony Crook

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great alternative to old butane!

We have always used disposable butane gas lighters. We were trying to be more eco-friendly so we got refillable lighters but they were thrown out of habit and not refilled and there was no real way to tell they were refillable. This little gadget is a great alternative to matches and disposable butane lighters. They are electric and rechargeable. No butane to fiddle with, no refill bottles to remember to buy, no refills, and they're significantly smaller to boot! This particular model from ARECTECH is thin and cylindrical like a thick pencil. It has a USB-C charging port and will charge with almost any 5V USB charger. I originally bought this for our outdoor fireplace, which doesn't have a built-in igniter. This particular model puts your hand just 3 1/2 inches from the flash point, which can be uncomfortably close to a fire, especially if it's ignited. I'm keeping this one for indoor use and getting a pair of flexible necks. Campfire and barbecue models, as they are longer and more suitable for getting to non-standard places.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
