Comment on Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste.

  The butane ones are refillable though

    Except for the ones that aren’t.

      I’ve never seen one that isn’t, that just sounds depressing.

        Yay Dollar Tree! … ☹️

        Yeah though, even the refillable ones have their faults. The clicker spark button igniter thing tends to end up breaking all on its own within around ~10 refill cycles, at least in my experience.

        I’m all about renewable and reusable tech, and I’m actually happy to have this lighter as long as I can keep it lasting, but sadly nothing lasts forever…
