Great lighter that has saved me money.
I've had this lighter for a year and 3 months and still going strong (with a little help noted below). The amount of money I have saved by not buying regular lighters is incredible. The drawback is that you need to let the arc touch what you are lighting. It takes a little longer to light a cigarette than a conventional lighter. After you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. I have dropped this thing a few times and thought I had cracked the plastic. It's still perfect. I am ordering another one to have for other purposes. It's great for burning off thread that has unraveled from clothing. As for keeping it working, I was having an issue with the button not working. Sometimes I would have to press it hard to get it to light. I ended up taking the screw out of the bottom to release the electronics from the plastic. Then I used a small flat blade screwdriver to release the top part of the lighter from the base. I found the ignitor switch just slides out from the housing. I slid the switch out and pressed it a few times and the lighter was working perfectly. I slid the switch back into it's slot and put everything back together. It is working just like the day it was bought. I am not sure if one of the wires was pinched or in a bad spot. Regardless of what it was, the lighter is functioning perfectly again.
