Review on 🔥 FLFIRAMER Waterproof Plasma Dual ARC USB Rechargeable Windproof Lighter - Camping Survival Tactical (Orange) by Mike Schmidt

For the backpacker or traveler, having a source of ignition to start a fire is crucial. Even at great distances, a runaway must have some kind of ignition source for an emergency fire, despite the small additional weight. The go-to igniter is BIC or Mini BiIC (BIC has about an hour of fuel for 3000+ "lights", Mini has about 1/3 of that) due to its reliability, small size and light weight, and long lifespan - but wind and freezing temperatures are the enemies of BIC. , and cold, but their use is uncomfortable, requires practice, and the condition of the striker is also crucial. A ferrocerium rod or flint sparks are excellent simple sources of hot sparks that can ignite combustible materials, but using them takes practice. Skill and good conditions - rather, an ignition source is always there just in case. Enter the Plasma Arc lighter. wind is not a problem. It is actuated by pressing a button. The arc is hot enough to ignite any kind of fire starter - my petroleum jelly starters, my waxed jute string with long matches, my Worst Bee starters, my pyro putty, even Fatwood's thinned stick ignites in an instant from a short circuit. second arch. (Lighters are then used to ignite the tinder in the fire, which in turn will ignite the kindling, and soon you'll have a roaring fire.) Starters rather than the "counter electrode" style better suited to smokers. There are also some lighter styles. I hope this "all weather lighter" has a bigger battery than other fancier models. I'm also concerned that those with a built-in flashlight might switch on or drain the battery too easily during use - an igniter is vital for the length of your outing. If you have a mobile phone charger, you can of course simply charge the arc lighter "in the field". Although they are rechargeable and it only takes a second to ignite a lighter, the number of ignitions has not been proven. , but it is said that maybe several hundred. enough for most hikes. The number of reloads is also limited. said several hundred cycles. Let's assume that means a lifespan of 100,000 fires. this equates to about 30 BIC, so there's a lot less "mass waste" from the Arc Lighter's "green" perspective, but it uses a lithium cell. In terms of cost and efficiency, Arc also outperforms BIC. and also. CONS: Arc lighter is twice the size of BIC. The arc lighter is significantly more complex, so "build quality" may affect service life. The Arc's "power" is less than that of the larger flames produced by BIC, limiting Arc's use to lighting fire starters rather than, say, a piece of tinder. The Arc is powered by a rechargeable lithium cell which degrades at low temperatures, so the Arc lighter, like the BIC, needs to be kept warm and close to the body. They are most likely made at the same factory. I would recommend them despite my limited experience - just buy from the top rated seller. They're "greener", they should be enough for most outings (especially if you have a USB charger), they do a great job of lighting your favorite firelighters, and they're inexpensive. WHY only 4 stars? These observations/recommendations are based on what they are intended to do, not what they actually demonstrate, without using an arc lighter from full charge to full discharge, "counting fires," then charging and repeating until that Lighter does not fail - moreover, such tests must be carried out on many lighters from many manufacturers before the "truth" about the quality and stability of manufacture, the number of ignitions per charge and the number of charge-discharge cycles becomes known. .
