I was about to buy a bulk pack of lighters on amazon, and started seeing the options for USB lighters they have nowadays, I've never used one, and dont think Ive seen anyone using one around me, at least not recently. They run about 15-20 bucks, but if they provide recharging and is easier to use like a push button instead of flicking (which sucks sometimes I have a wrist injury) You also have benefits of windproof from the plasma lighter part, I also use bowls quite often at home too so Im probably going to get one that is small enough to fit in pocket, size of a big zippo or something, and has a good tip that is easy to light bowls with. I've read they light about 80% compared to a regular lighter, which may actually be a benefit for smoking out of bowls, for taste, if the bowl lights just as well and relatively same amount of time.
Sometimes I take off the tip of my soldering iron and just use the ceramic heating element when my lighter dies or something, and sometimes Ive taken hits where it hasnt heat up to temp yet and the taste is amazing because Im not burning off all the terps, But it takes too long to get a hit, and sometimes wont ignite... But its a nice taste at the front of your hit, then lights up. This is another benefit of the plasma lighter, being no butane/lighter fluid and no taste added to your hit. (Or is there another taste associated with the electric plasma lighters?)
Just curious if anyone has used one, and now uses it regularly instead of a bic/butane lighter? Is it worth it to spend the 20 bucks or should I just spend that on a bulk pack of bics?
Thanks
