Being in my mid 20's I thought I was on top of the new gadgets and gizmos churning out of Amazon. I was never really much of a smoker or candle-lit dinner type of guy. So this product was but a tiny blip on my radar. Admittedly, I ordered this because I thought this was a really slick lighter that I thought was made by Telsa (of Telsa Motors) or at least a subsidiary company. This is made by a company called Tesla Coil Lighters™. Before I sing the praises of this device in general, I just want to point out some things to people interested in buying this product. First, as I mentioned before, it's not made by Tesla Motors- obviously. Second, it's made in China-not sure if that's a con or not. I've heard of Chinese e-cigs blowing up in peoples' hands/faces. But this has been on the market and there are enough positive reviews to reassure people like me that this will not blow up in your hands. Third-and this is a big deal to me- the product has not gone through any certification/testing by independent labs. You know those weird symbols you see on the back of mainstream electronic devices? The UL, CE, EMC, FCC and/or CSA stamps on the back of devices? Usually paying for these reassurances is for consumer confidence in the safety of the electronic device but it also will drive up the price of the product. My issue is that I'm a little concerned with the lack of certification AND the fact that it's made in China. There is also NO company webpage. That doesn't make me feel any better. This is basically a knock-off of a tried and true arc lighter. Can't say which as I haven't been following arc lighters since they debuted, but all those worries aside.... I really liked the lighter I got and here's why.The concept itself is genius! Let's compare this with the alternatives. Matchbooks use matches and rely on phosphorous on the red strip adhered to the cardboard booklet. That runs out and you will eventually have to throw it away. Zippo lighters use lighter fluid that evaporates, is messy to fill and eventually will need replacement flints and wicks. Butane lighters just require butane fuel. And while that fuel does not evaporate in the
