Light sale-- plasma lights no less…bought two the last time for sale and they work well. However, be advised that lighting candles with these can be done but it is more difficult when there are three wicks due to SaberLight design…so Star Trek fans beam some up
@huja Yup, really wanted a pair then ($22 if i recall) but they sold out well before 4 PM EST, and then within the first minute of the VMP reserve, the rest were gone too.
@Konraden My wife accidentally touched the beam while playing with hers. She had 2 marks on her skin and a slight scorch mark for a few days. I made fun of her.
@Konraden About a year ago I was reading reviews on Amazon for a similar lighter and a guy said he’d rather piss lightning than touch it again, or something like that (I don’t remember his exact wording).
I think he’s referring to the fact that these seem to always come in pairs… Every “deal” site that I visit sells a 2-pack of these as opposed to just one. It’s actually nice because I can use the excuse, “I’ll just give one away as a gift!”

@brttbrtls Understood. Wasnt sure if they understood that Tuesday offerings are always for two. Kudos to meh for selling a 2fer thats ALWAYS a 2fer lol
@Yoda_Daenerys There is definitely no safety switch for the button to make sure the cover is open before igniting. Might be a safety hazard, not sure how well it heats the air contained under the cap.
@CraigDanger not a cig smoker myself but the imagery of painting the beam across it to light it sounds incredibly satisfying. Maybe I’ll pick up the habit so i can try :^)
@craigthom You’re right. This ranks an F on fakespot. If it was an honest three star rating, I would take a chance. But a 4 star rating with an F means it’s actually a 1 star rating.
They’re cool I guess, but they’re sort of the exact opposite of those trigger-grill-lighters that are so popular for lighting scented candles and such. I’ll give them as gifts. Meh.
I’m beginning to wonder what induces young, intelligent men to sit around spewing what, I admit, used to be funny, cute, now mostly babble. Can the money really be that good? Wouldn’t Freud find much to study there? Sigh… it’s getting to the point where methinks it’s just stealing $5 from an old lady. I’m trying to help you, really. But give a man fire and he gets burned. Teach a man to use this lighter… and he still gets burned.

Thanks for reminding me that I purchased one coming on a slow boat from Asia. Now it won’t be as much a surprise when it shows up. I had completely forgotten about it.
Well, what the hell, it’s happening for me tonight. I’m a sucker for gadgets and I don’t even smoke. And I’m running out of smokers in my life to, which is nice, but it’s at least a fancy looking gadget to give to someone when you haven’t got a better gift idea or don’t really know them that well.

edit: oh my god that is an excellent image for my order number.
@robson wouldnt be very easy but us tokers often are the pioneers of magical engineering feats, so I’m sure you could find a way. Or just use it to light a hemp wick then use that.
I got these last time! They’re cool as hell, but useless if you have to light anything that isn’t shaped like a birthday candle or a cigarette, or which doesn’t have a very long wick/fuse. The top doesn’t swing open very far.

Again?
@huja From what I recall, they sold out pretty quick last time they were sold…last month?
@Konraden Did they? I was too fixated on the “Plasma, Dog Plasma” cartoon to notice.
@huja Yup, really wanted a pair then ($22 if i recall) but they sold out well before 4 PM EST, and then within the first minute of the VMP reserve, the rest were gone too.
@huja Bought one off eBay last time, they have dual arcs and plenty of colors. Why? No model number so it’s the same junk as eBay sells cheaper.
Meh
I bought these last time. they’re a lot of fun to play with. recommend.
@boygenius1991 I want to touch the beam. I’m a little scared to touch the beam though.
But DO NOT cross the beams, @Konraden.

Two dollars more than last time? Big timing us already, huh?
not for use if you need to suck the fire into the product that you want to burn
also, some bad reviews about going off in your pocket even when the lid is closed
i bought a bunch last time - they’re pretty cool/hot
@Yoda_Daenerys Is Saberlight a subsidiary of Samsung?

A little challenging to light a smoke with, but you end up learning to “paint” the beam across it. And…plasma. Not dog plasma

@bduhaime Wow, I’m surprised two people hadn’t already mentioned this hours before you did.
Still the same model as the $9 ones on eBay and AliExpress… plus you can upgrade to dual beams for the same price. I prefer the Zippo-shaped models myself since the lid flips all the way.
C’mon Meh, give us a real deal on these.
@trisk Thanks…opted to buy the dual beam one instead!

@Dizavid So you can buy it with the self-deception that you will give/sell one away.

@Dizavid so you can have an extra when you charging the other, takes bout 45 mins, no more friggin Bics !!!
next time I want the BIG one.
I got it in the mail today. Got really excited. Then I started regretting buying it
@thekenya why?
@RiotDemon i’m guessing because it is cool for about 10 seconds, and then you’re like, wtf?
One worked and the other did not.
I am having bad luck. 2 things that I ordered are defective. The coffee maker and lighters.
