This makes me wonder if you could have one with a capacitor and a fly wheel or something and maybe even work somewhat like a self winding watch.

That’s actually a sort of interesting thought.
I’m not sure if you’d get much out of such a self winding recharge mechanism like that though, as those self winding watches basically rely on your arms swinging as you walk/jog/run around.
Still a nifty idea. I could see one designed without any battery at all and just a little flip out hand crank handle instead. Not like it should take more than 5 seconds or so to light a doobie, so it wouldn’t be all that inconvenient, and you’d never have to bother charging it…

yeah I was thinking maybe a squeeze kind of thing but like I don’t smoke but its nice to have a lighter so like I could see having it on a keychain and if over a period of months it was topped off and ready to do a few ignition attempts that would be nice.
