Best gift ever for those that like to sneak a smoke outsideBattery doesn’t last long, but it charges quicklyI've been using my Tesla Coil lighter exclusively for about a week and just had to charge it for the first time today even though I've been messing around with it pretty extensively during that period. From full dead to full charge was a little over an hour so it does last decently well but it has it's downsides.For starters if you want to use this to light anything larger than a cigarette you're going to struggle. Unlike a typical lighter the surface area of the electricity bolt is very small - as thick as a few strands of hair and maybe 2 cm across. This means that if you want to light a cigar it's going to be impractical.Some have pointed out that the prongs between which the electrical bolt is generated isn't even wide enough for a cigarette but if you try to shove it between there I'd argue that you're doing to wrong. Instead, put your smoke against the prongs and inhale as you would while lighting it with a fuel lighter and the electricity will bow out towards the cigarette. It takes maybe a second or two longer than a conventional lighter but a convential lighter is going to be much more heavily effected by the wind while this is not.Then comes the fact that it's rechargeable which means it lasts a long time and you never need to worry about fuel as you would with a Zippo. Plus, it's literally an exposed bolt of electricity; how much cooler is that than normal fire? Infinity is how much.If you want the most practical and quick lighter then this is probably not going to be for you. If you are a cigar smoker you'll want something different as well. If you don't care about those but want a good, durable lighter that adds a cool factor then you'll love this. I do.~~Update 08/04/18~~I've had this lighter now for just over 2 months and I thought, given the quality issues reported by some, it was time to provide an update. Frankly, I still love it. Its now dinged and dented - signs of its use and my clumsiness. The battery life is definitely not the best but as I had originally stated if you're looking for the best, most practical lighter then this is absolutely the wrong choice. This thing is silly, I freely admit it. Its main job is to light cigarettes and it does that well enough but what it does best is make every time I pop open the lid a special moment. Two months later and the idea of using a bolt of pure electricity harnessed for the sole purpose of creating enough heat to light something on fire is beyond cool. When this thing dies (which I 100% expect it will, whether its due to the harsh realities I put it through or quality of the components isn't clear) I will replace it with another.Sooo… A friend of mine gave me one of these and I had to have another one (cuz I loose stuff like crazy) so now I do..? Think about it you never need lighter fluid again.. Ok let that sink in for a minute. USB chargers are everywhere these days… just plug, charge and go.. It is pretty much impossible to blow out. Ok perhaps trying to light a cigar on your motorcycle at 130MPH might not be a doable thing but I have lit a cig in some pretty gnarly wind with no issues.. definitely no good for the crack pipe though.. not that I have tried… just saying this thing is great for what it was meant to do… other stuff maybe not…I got this lighter as a Christmas Gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it! When he saw it he thought it was beautiful! Every time he uses it he says it's so easy and he really loves it. When it's windy outside he still easily lights his cigarette. It charges fast and lasts long between chargs. It got here when it said it would get here. I will definitely buy another one just in a different design for myself from this seller.This lighter is great for lighting cigarettes, candles, and incense. However, if you want a lighter to light cigars, tobacco pipes, any other kind of smoking pipes, or bongs, this lighter will not be good for those purposes.This lighter arrived today and I have to say, I love it. Everything from the shiny letters on the top of the box to the sleek drawstring bag to the way the manual is inlaid in the box screams of presentation... and present it does. The lighter comes with some charge right out of the box so you don't have to hold in your excitement while you wait for it to charge. Its shiny outer casing very accurately captures the look of rainbow polished titanium, and gives you a different pattern of swirling colors with each tiny adjustment of the viewing angle. The lighter work not only for cigarettes, but also for lighting up fuse, wood, paper, cardboard, leaves and much more with stunning ease, along with delivering a disorienting and startling shock upon contact making it the perfect all-around survival tool whether you are stranded in the wilderness, being attacked, or just desperate for a smoke. On top of that, there are a lot of other usages in everyday life, such as lighting fireworks or igniting a gas stove. You can tell by the small form factor, elegance, and surprising ruggedness that three basic ideas were in mind when designing the lighter: Portability, Luxury, and Durability. These aspects are all packed into this one gadget, so you don't have to choose between one or two of them. The real shocker, however, is the price: You would expect such a nice device to cost $50, $100, or more, but no - all of this pure greatness packaged into one simple lighter costs no more than a measly $17.99. And the fact that you can charge it with an Android charger (or any microUSB cable) is the delicious cherry on top of this beautiful sundae.Really loved this lighter very useful and uniqueI bought it today , the box looks old and full of dust n it was working n when i try to charge the red light works for 20 sec n then off , i havent used even for a day ,cant able to charge also n the seller is not accepting return 2500 rs wasteAwesome lighter, feels and looks expensive. Charges fast, long lastingYes, I got it yay! My waiting for exitment ends here! My Lighter received today after 10 days from the seller STS Shop. Done a great research and bought this tesla single arc lighter, as this is a true winner among all. For a cigarette lighter 3k is a huge amount but as a gadget freak and a regular smoker i had to order this, and for my surprise and trust towards amazon the lighter is working flawlessly and it is what it meant to same as shown in the images and videos, an original product served by STS Shop. Charging indicator lights are awesome, when it charging it shows red light and after fully charged it turns into green. Yes, this lighter is a good head turner and conversation starter! Just bought it today and tested! yay, working good as advertised. Finishing and build quality is good, 2 seconds are more than enought to light ur cigarette. Follow the instructions from the package strictly, i dont know how long it last(it depends on fortune and luck by our piece of arc, but as many reviewers says it can be last upto 2 years max may be more by careful systamatic charged usage) I can assure this seller and recommend this product as well, i am a happy buyer refer to my images, thanks for reading!caution: cigarette smoking is injurious to health and cigarette selling is wealth to our central & state government..( update: my lighter was stolen, now i only have its cable and pouch ☹️ )
