TG Plasma Lighter Windproof Waterproof USB Rechargeable Flameless Dual Arc for EDC Camping Survival Tactical

This is a great camping lighter - We purchased it for our survival kit. It works really well. It's small, very compact. Rubberized on the outside to make it easier to hold on to. It's a great emergency lighter! Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including over 24,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

1. There is no flame, obviously. So there is no ignition source up high that floats like the plasma of the flame. You know what I mean? Whatever youre igniting you have to be able to fit between the electrodes, you cant just get close and above. And its a pretty small gap, too. 2. And because of the lid, its impossible to stick the device inside of tight spaces like the mouth of a candle, in case your wicks are down low. So the bulk of the device and its lid just get in the way. All that said, it works. And it works quite well, too. I like the device and do not regret purchasing it. I think it was made well, in the sense that it is sturdy and quality-made. I just wasnt expecting some of its limitations, which are more design-phase problems that would have been found polling consumers. Ended up buying another different device in addition. They each have their appropriate uses.

These things are amazing! I bought two of them, one as part of my EDC, and one for my get-home bag for the car. Instantly ignited anything between the diodes when you push the button. Waterproof when closed, wind proof when open. Charges in about two hours, give or take. I don’t know how long it will last on one charge. One thing to note- when you plan on igniting something, do so quickly and efficiently. When you hold down the button for a short while, the entire unit gets rather warm from the energy transfer. Best to be very particular with your usage. Pairs well with a solar charger. Normal lighters run out of fuel eventually, and having a free and easy way to sustain these is a major benefit of their rechargeable design. The lid latches tightly, and the hinge that attached above the release button holds very well. You shouldn’t have to worry about this coming undone and igniting your shorts any time soon. Works beautifully, functionally, and is small enough to be added to any every day carry or survival kit.

I recently got this lighter, and it’s pretty impressive! The build quality is tough and durable, giving it a premium feel. It’s excellent in windy conditions and doesn’t require frequent recharges, which is super convenient. However, the space between the plasma arcs is quite small, which can make it tricky to use with certain items. Despite that, it’s a handy and efficient tool for specific uses. Overall, it’s a great lighter with a few limitations but definitely worth it for its quality and performance.

This is a great little lighter. Seems to hold a charge for a decent amount of time, does a good job at lighting tinder, not as good as a direct flame but still works well. I have sadly been on this island for 13 days now with nothing but this lighter, a gps, and a hatchet to start. My only surviving colleague from our crash had his ears blown out so the only thing hd can hear is the hum of this lighter. The cannibals keep trying to take over, and the UV the lighter emits seems to help, but not completely deter. I built a fire with it last night to roast some freshly caught fish, and a strange three legged woman came out from the woods to sit by the fire. She brought me berries. This lighter made all of this possible.

This was a great buy. My brother lives in a cold Windy City so this was the most perfect gift for him he loved it. Immediately after receiving it for Xmas he went outside and starting playing with it. It conducts these two electric currents that sounds kind of cool and has some real power. If I could give this 10 stars I would. So affordable and the best is that it recharges. No more trying to make a house out of your body to block the wind from putting out the fire. My husband loved it too I’m going to get us both one ! lol 5 stars ✨

Cool but not quite for recreational use

This thing is awesome. I use it to light fires in a fire pit and it works great even with wind. Awesome

Great little lighter. I bought it when it was $36. Cheaper now. But it does work.

Plasma Lighter works well. The only thing is that the spark "gap" to light objects is not huge. A normal butane lighter has a flame that can be applied to most objects. The plasma lighter has a small gap. Not really a problem if your not trying to light toothbrush sized kindle for instance :). I like this lighter, it works very well, and is water proof...4 stars out of 5.

Generally ok but not a 1 handed lighter

Outter case could be more solid for the price but its functionality it good. Does what it says

My husband loves this - it is sturdy and well put together. Great for the woods / hunting / camping.
