Forum Novelties 63503 Amazing Gag Shock Lighter

After reading the critical reviews about it looking fake and feeling flimsy, I bought it anyway because it was low priced and shipped free; gotta love Amazon Prime. That first time, holding it after removing it from the packaging, placing thumb to striker, slowly pressing down... ZZZING!!! Must have tossed it five feet!! As for looking fake? To me it appears just another cheap disposable lighter trying to look fancy and failing. Perfect! As for being flimsy, well, maybe repeatedly dropping it on hardwood or marble floors wont be very good for it, duh.

I would NOT buy this again! 1 out of the 3 I purchased barely worked. The other two were completely dead and it says batteries are no replaceable. Don’t waste your money.

This product didn't work at first. We opened it to try replacing the batteries which were advertised as either AA or AAA, but were actually button cell batteries which I did not have on hand...so we tried reversing the batteries and it worked. It also was not so easy to open. But once we got it working it is a fun cheap gag item.

Great gag gift

I know there are some negative reviews on this product, but I decided to take a chance. The lighter is plastic and has a chrome "paint job" making it shiny and does pass for a lighter. Yes, it works and I've been lucky that the victims haven't dropped it or thrown it at me as I don't think it could handle the abuse. A few times I hade to monkey with the bottom of the lighter so it would make a ground, but no big deal. So, for me, I have gotten my money out of this already with 5 uses.

This little "Trick ZAP Lighter was nothing more than a waste of my time and money. First off it came disassembled in a small package and on first inspection realized that the tiny batteries were so old that something oozed out of one and I just decided it wasn't worth it and tossed it all in the trash

The battery is definitely not replaceable in this, and it is obviously of very cheap quality. You'll have to have a story ready to get this prank to work on most people, and the shock isn't very strong. You get what you pay for.

Product lasted a good amount of time and still works. It felt hallow in the hand as if there is nothing or hardly anything the inside of it. Its hard plastic but not heavy. No heavy material in the inside so it's lightweight. I took it apart and put it back together which is how I know. (vouch for it) Some people won't be fool. It only make sense if someone need a quick light and you were to hand this to the person on impulse. They would most likely press down the the trigger on impulse. A bit difficult to just hand to someone and they don't smoke- "here, press this lighter... It has a big FLAME!" :-/"Anyways-I don't live by many smokers but I used it on one of them and he was pissed. I think he would of rode me over with his bike if he had a chance. Told em is a start to stop smoking. Shock some sense into you. He said he was using a patch and the gum so it's a start.(sparks a conversation to stop smoking, if the person doesn't hate you for doing it; groups of friend with the same motive as you is a must at times.)
