Comment

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

I tried one and I could not deal with it because it created a high pitched buzz which only me and cats seemed to be able to hear. Glad to know I am not the only one to dislike them.

Oh, I definitely hear that sound too, I’m pretty sure many people do. It doesn’t bother me though, its only like 3 to 5 seconds, not like the sound is on repeat.

Now as far as your cats… 😺

  How does it not make you want to drop it when screams at you like that?

    I am made of stronger stuff than the unpleasant wine my 10 gram plastic lighter makes

    It’s not even loud yo. Are your ears okay?
    
    I’m no medical expert, but I’ve had hypersensitive hearing before.
    
    You might wanna check in with an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctor if you can…

    You might actually be on to something. My one side of the family has sensitive hearing and I do hear pretty well up to 18±0.55kHz. Aside from loud places it’s rarely an issue though.
