Extremus Blaze 360 Rechargeable Electric Lighters, Dual Arc Lighter, Windproof Plasma Lighter, Waterproof Lighter, Flameless Lighter with Whistle Lanyard for Camping (Orange Flex)

The pros of the Extremus Blaze 360 Flex Lighter:-Pocketable-Durable Design-Safe Design-Easy to use-Usb C chargeable with included cable-Extendable AND rotational head-Works in windy conditionsA while back (almost 5 years ago) I made a review about a similar product, but this is a faaaar BETTER version of that. You see the other brand I had was weaker and therefore it wasn't as effecient under windier conditions. But not only that, the safety switch on thay old pocketable plasma arc lighter was BUSTED, so it could have potentially started a fire in my pocket or backpack. I had to carry it, in it's original case for that reason. (The utility didn't stop me from carrying it.) But THIS ONE has a far better design, and we will never have to worry about such potentially dangerous flaws again...Aside from that, this model is just stronger, safer and personally more convenient than that old outdated one as it is USB C charged like my other devices.Another reviewer stated this brand has another model with a flashlight. For me, that is a considerable optional upgrade I would like to see in the future of a perhaps newer model, as having the extensive vision in the dark would pair well in conjuction with this lighters primary function to light things ablaze. (Duh.)The ONLY REAL gripe I personally have with this Extremus Blaze 360 Flex Lighter, is that in order to recharge it, you DO have to open the lid and plug in the USB C cord RIGHT NEXT to the plasma arc and activate switch. Needless to say, if the charging port was somehow on the outside, it would probably make for a better design choice overall. Perhaps that option was made to retain the waterproof qualities, but I still think it would be universally preferable for the charging port to be easier to access without the implicit risks of the current design.I still highly recommend this lighter. You see, that older weaker, inferior lighter I talked about, with the safety switch malfunction... Was capable of starting a fire with just firewood and pinecones underneath to start the blaze... If that other one could do that with just some proper positioning and alignement, I don't see why this far superior arc lighter wouldn't.I HIGHLY recommend this legit solid product, but one more tip... If you're really outdoorsy, and could use an additional practical energy source to recharge this, you COULD use your carport, but personally, I recommend buying a cheap solar rechargable external battery to recharge your electronics, including this device, your phone, etc... One that ALSO comes with a built in flashlight. It's great if you go on extended hikes, fishing atop of boats, or during those pesky zombie apocalypses where you can't quite get to your car. In all seriousness though, it's recommended to usually not use your cars cigarette or usb ports too often as it can potentially cause short circuits and electrical problems with your vehicle over time. I mean sub $40 is less than what a 12v car battery is worth, and certaintly less than your vehicles entire lifespan. It also means you can go off grid with it, or just casually use it as it becomes convenient to your needs at any given moment.Just keepin it real, and lookin out. Peace.

As a lighter it's not bad. That said, my main reason for 4 star review is that this thing emits a high pitched, loud noise every time I light it. I dont like it but it isnt overly bothersome to me as a human but my service dog freaks out every time I light it. I think it hurts her ears or maybe it just drives her nuts but either way I just wanted a lighter, not a dog whistle. If you do want a dog whistle that is also a kinda cool lighter then this one is for you.As a service dog, Bella is supposed to stay with me & pay attention to me. She can't do her job properly when I light this lighter so I will be giving it away as a gift to a dogless(and catless, just in case)person. If you don't have a service dog, pet dog or cat(in case it bothers them too)then this will be fine. As far as functionality goes it works & is kinda neat. Who knows, maybe the dog whistle could come in handy if you encounter a wild animal but then again it could make them attack you haha.

This thing works so well. It is more for starting fires though, so the smokers in the crowd might not like it for their cigs. But battery life and ease of use is amazing for camping trips

Super pleased with the lighter. I bought it for my RV and I really like the extended lighter element.Liked it so much, I bout another for the fireplace in the house.

I purchased a half a dozen of these to give away as gifts. I kept one for myself. I am extremely satisfied with how it works and the construction.

Works well

Works great, well made, interesting little product. Showed it to some friends and they were impressed. Kinda like the fact that there's no flame from this type of lighter and you don't need to worry about putting lighter fluid in or butane gas although I suppose in a few instances having no flame might be a drawback. So far though works great for anytime we need a small lighter. Would make a great stocking stuffer at Xmas time for the person who already has everything. Will most likely purchase a couple for that use this coming Xmas.

It seems to work as advertised. It is pretty cool!!
