FAQ – Answers to Questions from Our Community
1. What should I look for when buying a lighter?
The key factors are quality, handling and reliability. A good lighter feels comfortable in your hand, is easy to use and works even in tough conditions. Think about whether you prefer an open flame or an electric option – both have their advantages.
2. Which refill gas do you recommend?
For our gas lighters, we recommend using only high-quality butane. It burns cleanly, leaves no residue and protects the inner components of your lighter. The right gas quality gives you a steady flame and helps your lighter last longer.
3. Are electric lighters safe?
Yes. Compared with classic models, they’re even considered especially safe. Because they don’t use an open flame, there’s less risk of fire. They also switch off automatically after a few seconds and can be locked when not in use.
Expert Tips
Using Jet Flames and Soft Flames Properly
Jet flames (windproof lighters) are perfect for windy conditions and precise heat, for example when lighting bong bowls or heating a dab nail. Soft flames give you a classic, gentler flame – ideal for joints or pipes.
Cleaning Electric Lighters Regularly
Even arc and plasma lighters collect dirt over time. Use a cotton swab or a dry cloth to keep the contacts and arc area clean. This keeps the ignition strong.
Refilling Butane Correctly
Before refilling, bleed the lighter first (press any remaining gas out of the tank) so no air bubbles remain in the system. After refilling, let it rest for a few minutes so the gas can distribute evenly and the lighter ignites reliably.
