These things actually work! I've been able to light multiple cigarillos with mine on one charge & it takes a while to light anything bigger than a cigarette. It works in the wind or at least with my car/truck A/C blasting. The only cons are it's a little on the heavy side (a little heavier than a Zippo lighter) & it wouldn't work very well on full size cigars. I bought three of these mostly a survival tool for hunting, camping, & hiking & I'm interested to see how well they work in wet conditions. So far, so good.

Well after seeing the Atomic Lighter on TV, I had to try one. Well after it arrived fast & I charged it per instructions. I got about 30 lights & it needed a re charge. OK, Its new & I figured it will take a good charge after a few uses. Well the best this lighter can do is between 50 - 60 lights & it needs re charged. YES I counted! I had to buy a USB AC adaptor to charged it in a wall socket (Yes was shown on TV, but NOT included) & immediately removed it from charge upon it completing the charge cycle... Well that's a bit short of the 100s of lights they say this lighter will provide. As another said: You have to turn it off in between uses, well I did that & still only got 60ish lights until it needed recharged, so much for that method! Its a nice lighter, well made, a bit heavier that standard lighters of this size, but its more of a novelty item than a total replacement for fuel filled lighters. 3 Stars because it doesn't provide the 100s of lights as stated on TV.Read full review

Feels solid , lights (?) well . My only concern is that the lid does not rotate back all the way 180 deg, It only opens about 50 deg . I am concerned that the hinge point of the lid will be a failure point on this lighter . In all other respects it works fine .

Despite reviews that it doesn't hold a charge and only last a few lights I bought this item. Here's the deal, it does hold a charge, but a few tips... don't over charge it! I use a Droid turbo charger for it, it charges from empty to full in about 10mins, pay attention, when the charger blue light stops blinking and goes solid disconnect it fast. There's an on and off switch and if you don't turn it off after every light yes the charge won't last long but duh that's expected. So a lot of negative reviews on this device pretty much comes from people that don't know how to maintain a battery. If you turn off after every light it will last you over a day or two or more for sure and for 10mins of charge that's pretty good. Also make sure you drain the battery all the way before your next charge. It's a cool lighter and works perfect no complaints at all... One strange thing no one seems to have mentioned is that it makes high pitch noise when you light it... Like something only a dog would hear or me apparently lol lastly keep it under the 8second time frame for lights, I usually do 3-5 second pulses. Enjoy.Read full review

Have one already, need a backup. And share one with a friend who was impressed. Saves money on other types of lighters. All in all great lighter, especially in windy conditions.
