My mom got a 4-pack of some of these that look kinda like long kitchen lighters. She gave me one, and I’ve used it a few times for lighting my bowls when I smoke, but you can’t beat an actual flame. The arc on those things isn’t big enough so you have to put it right on there. We still have them, but we use them for candles.

That’s cool.
According to some other comments here, others tell me those sort of long electric arc lighters tend to last a lot longer, when used for lighting candles or gas stoves or such.
But using arc lighters for cigarettes or weed, it’ll likely start acting up within a couple months or less…
At least I know how to service mine, but that’s not for the inexperienced or the faint of heart.

I just kinda wipe off the prongs if it’s gross. I’m sure that’s probably making something worse though.
