Frequently asked questions
How does a plasma arc work?
A hot plasma arc forms between two electrodes, delivering pinpoint heat like a flameless mini-torch – perfect for igniting, less suited as a heat source.
How do I charge it?
Via USB cable (included). One full charge lasts several hundred ignitions.
Can I take it on a plane?
Plasma lighters usually cannot go in carry-on or checked baggage – please check airline rules before flying.
Is it a good gift?
Absolutely – a long-lasting, design-driven gift for outdoor fans, cooks, yogis and candle lovers.
