Electric Lighter Rechargeable Plasma Lighter Men Cool Dragon Pocket Lighter

Cool, wind resistant or proof I should say. Great lighter, cool style but need to charge before using. Great gift for friend who smokes, especially outside when it can be windy.

Just as I was starting this review, my second lighter was delivered. I love several things about these lighters. It is beautiful and works well; it is easy to light a smoke. There are no chemicals or gas fumes. The "flame" is controlled so less chance of burns and has a low profile. The wind doesn't affect the performance. I will no longer get calluses on my thumb! It is easy on my hands, open the lid and push a button. Close the lid and it is ready for the next use. Mine came fully charged, and when I did the first recharge it was done in less than an hour. The day after I received the first lighter, I ordered a second. If it continues to work this well, I may purchase a couple more just to have one in the car and one on the patio or as gifts. They feel like they will last a long time. And, it feels good in your hand, a nice weight and size to be really comfortable. Perfect for older hands that are stiff and don't work like they used to. I am very happy with my purchase and will update if anything changes, but for now I highly recommend.

If this thing lasts a long time it is perfect! Had it about a week and holds it decent charge and is super cool and convenient not to have to buy disposables. Size and shape are similar to a Bic lighter and feels very nice in the hand.

I got this after a friend gave me a light with his, and I was like, "What's a plasma lighter?" These things are so cool! Really, the only downside is the battery life- -which is the reason I only gave it four overall stars. As far as functionality and cool factor, it's Five+. Basically, plan to recharge it every day. Especially when you first get it, it will run out faster because you'll probably find yourself fiddling with it, and lighting it just for fun. A note on usability: unlike a normal flame lighter- -where you don't want to look straight down on it, in order not to singe your eyebrows- -with these there is very little heat beyond about a quarter of an inch away from the plasma. Since the plasma forms an X pattern, you basically want your smoke to point straight down on top of the lighter as shown in the first picture, hovering just above the plasma. It will automatically shut off after 7 seconds, but if you need more heat just release the button and press it again. It's not designed for sustained heat, so don't rinse and repeat that very many times without letting it cool down. One other side note: If you like to fiddle with things, you might find yourself opening and closing the lid- -as the lighter is pleasing to hold in the hand, and the lid is well built and it's satisfying to actuate it. Well one time I quite surprised myself by accidentally pressing the ignition button while my thumb was also up in contact with the bottom two nodes. It gave me quite a shock ( pun intended :-) and left a mark- -two little dots where the nodes were and a thin line connecting them. Now it's half a day later and I was going to take a picture of that too, but it's already gone. The plasma automatically cuts off when the lid closes, so it's actually pretty hard to have it happen. I tried for a little bit to do it again on purpose (just cuz that's how I roll :-) and haven't been able to- -so it's unlikely to happen, but worth noting. A huge plus feature that this lighter has, that my friends doesn't, is the charge indicator lights. My experience has been that the progression of use correlates well with the indication of the lights, and the battery seems to give pretty consistent performance throughout each of the four indicators. It's also nice that the last one starts blinking when the lighter is getting close to running out of juice. It charges pretty fast too - - I haven't actually timed it, but I think it only takes a couple of hours. Inevitably, future versions will have better battery life - - but these are inexpensive enough that I'll probably get a spare just in case something happens to this one. Also, since they're powered by a lithium cell they should hold a charge without use for a very long time, so the spare should be reliably fully charged. UPDATE 10/30/2020: Using a Quick Charge 18W 3A charger, I checked it after *1 hour*, and it was FULLY CHARGED!!

The lighter works fine; & the art work is outstanding. No known defects.

Made of some metal that feels great in your hands and leaves no gross metal/penny smell after handling. The spark sets things on fire just as well as a gas lighter and the charge is longer than expected. I wish there was more styles, otherwise a great electric lighter. Charging this also takes less than 2 hours. Been using it daily since it came out of the box. It has also survived a couple drops from about 4 feet high.

Graphics and carvings outside are amazing! And metal quality is pretty sturdy and good. Has a bit of weight to it but compact. It's a looker in a party. But, the head opens up only so far and the spark is so low and close to the lighter, so it takes a while to light up. Light indicator of the charge level is good. But the lowest level still means no charge, weird. Discharges pretty quickly for back to back quick uses, also considering the light up time. Overall, nice looking one to have but not as a primary source of light.

Beautiful lighter, practical design and useful
