“Plasma is the clear, straw-colored liquid portion of blood that remains after red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed. It is the single largest component of human blood, comprising about 55 percent, and contains water, salts, enzymes, antibodies and other proteins.”
Wow…these are like…vampire lighters?? Do they drain people’s bodies to get the plasma for these babies? For the purest lighters, do they use plasma from virgins??
@eeterrific It is fair price, no? Eternal supply of spark in exchange for occasional virgin plasma. It becomes less troubling as the centuries pass. And provides endless entertainment in sunless coffin. Mwahahaha…
@eeterrific Plasma Physics - The degree of plasma ionization is determined by the electron temperature relative to the ionization energy (and more weakly by the density), in a relationship called the Saha equation. At low temperatures, ions and electrons tend to recombine into bound states—atoms—and the plasma will eventually become a gas.
@amillar7 No liquid fuel means that the TSA might let you carry this onto a commercial flight. For bonus points, leave the USB charging cable plugged into it; that’s a universal marker meaning “some weird computer doodad”.
They’re not too shabby. I got a pair last time and regularly screw around with them. Tried lighting some sparklers, and it cut the end off a sparkler, THEN lit it successfully.
The lid makes these really awkward for anything that can’t be fed into the arc from the side, though.
@finalremix The only major drawback I’ve found is that the button on the side is easy to accidentally press and there is no cutoff for when the lid is closed, so putting these in your pocket is a bit scary. While the lid will protect you from burning yourself, I don’t think they were designed to be run continuously for long periods of time.
Really these fucked up lighters again ? really?How many of these crap lighters did you idiots buy?very disappointed here on twofer Tues. you shove this crap at us?hope not to see any helicopters of any kind either i need stocking stuffers get it? people don"t want to put welding plasma torches by there lips get it dummies?stocking stuffers ty Meh
@mellowirishgent My apologies i see 300 ppl. proved me wrong…I’ve bought almost everything you have offered in the last few weeks why post the same item 3 times in a few weeks?think the negativity here is 5-1 at a minimum…
I don’t see how they could fire a one-hitter, not that I’m an expert weeder or anything, but if they could they probably would never have had to dump them on meh. Anyways, there goes the great stocking stuffer for my reeking sons and nephews.
@Aractor Yeah, I thought last time I’d be interested in some of these if they were dirt cheap. I did not think I’d be interested in them if they were more expensive.
In the picture with the cap opened, that’s literally the widest it will open, so that means that unless it’s cigarette shaped and sized and can be fed through the side, it ain’t getting plasma’d. It’s less versatile than a lighter, and heavier, and more expensive, and, and, unless you got a serious cigarette habit or only light stick candles (good luck getting this thing down a jar), it’s not worth getting.
I ordered these the last time. They’re okay. Make a hideous but low-volume high-pitched squeal. Apparently there’s also no safety interlock, which means that they can fire off even with the lid shut.
Neat novelty, but the urge to see if it’ll shock the shit out of me if i stick my finger in there is frankly almost overwhelming me. Have to figure out who I don’t like enough to give away the second one as a crappy christmas present!
These things are not very good, even for cigs. They dont light the cig evenly and the first two puffs taste a bit strange. They also give off this annoying high pitched whine when lit.
they are hopeless for anything else but candles and playing around with
@bluith What could they work for other than cigarettes? I need one with no lid and the power control at the opposite end if I’m going to have any chance of lighting a Yankee Candle.
@msujp OK- let me get this right. IMHO a domesticated fox is basically a young cougar, with a nice set of cans, that can cook and clean. Why would you need to build an enclosure for that? Are you afraid she’d run away? That would be great for a two-for-Tuesday deal. I’m all in, add that to my list also.
@darksaber99999 No. The plasma looks oddly different. This could be due to the photonic phase differential phenomenon. In the normal spectrum of visible light (not IR), photons excited by the plasmon resonance and subsequently subjected to polarization filtration in a typical SLR scenario result in a distorted, almost surrealistic aura not detectable by the human optic array. Also, these lighters suck!
@darksaber99999 I guess you can go with Mr. Wizard’s explanation above which is truly bullshit yet so elegantly expressed, or you can just youtube Rechargeable Plazmatic Arc Lighter It’s obvious that the picture meh used was edited with a simple purple drawn ellipse. And these lighters are pretty much bullshit (gimmicky)- I do agree with Mr. Wizard on that.
@gak0090 Calling my post bullshit is somewhat insulting…to cows. I literally pulled those words together from the place only a proctologist would know. In fact, I should have included the optical polyp theory in my explanation of plasma physics. Simply stated, the optical polyp can exist without visual confirmation and yet still create an aberration when photographed in certain unique circumstances. For example, deep within the internal confines of the human body, say, the Colon.
@accelerator I’ve had a polyp in my colon only to discover, that in fact, it was a tiny portal to a lost dimension. A place where only a 1970’s Ginger resides on Gilligan’s Island, post breast augmentation to 42DD proportions. I sit and ponder the universe and how wonderful it is, if only I had a fucking charged plasma lighter to make a fire.
@gak0090 Too bad your alternate Gilligan’s Island Universe (GIU) can’t accommodate the Professor. He certainly could devise a generator of some sorts made from the static electric charge created from Gingers fantastic augments rubbing together. I could certainly see myself “helping” to generate the needed electricity. In fact, I’ve got to go now and ponder this concept…stand by.
@accelerator Genius-Right on! But perhaps we need a lightning rod of sorts to manifest the charge generated by those augments. I will kindly dedicate my staff so as to create my own plasma beam of ecstasy that will rain down photons all over her…truly creating a surrealistic aura and lighting a fire in a whole different way. Thank-you for your insight!

Ugh! Where are those 20 oz. Bubba mugs on Tuesday? I need more!
@badger65 Bubba on Amazon
@accelerator thanks, those are the butt ugly one’s.
The Jerk Store called and they’re running out of SaberLight Rechargeable Plasma Beam Lighters
@norman8
Well I had sex with your wife!
@sindicato13 And she’s their all time best seller! uh…
garbage
I’ve seen this movie before. It ends with me going to bed disappointed.
All that server wait time, for lighters? wut?
Lighting up tonight / meh double deal tonight
I’d like one of these. Just one though.
@medz Good news. You can get one for less than half of two on ebay. Even one with two plasma beams: http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=plasma+lighter
@medz dont listen to @djslack. If ghost buster taught us one thing… dont cross the streams.
Shocking that you are selling these again.
WTF? Does Meh have an endless supply of these things? Why don’t you pair them with, oh, maybe a speaker?
Bubba mug… touch screen gloves and a plasma lighter- entertain the kids for hours
Third time’s the
charmWHAT THE FUCK, AGAIN?!?Plasma lighters must be the new speaker docks …
No model number, no sale.
@KDemo FINE… The number is 6.
@medz - Needs a couple of hyphens and a few O’s and 0’s. Oh, and mostly odd numbers. THEN we’ll talk.
@KDemo Cuz baby needs a new pair of shoes?
@sligett - C’mon eleven!

Is there any reason these are better than a Bic from the checkout line?
@amillar7 Never run out of juice. Wind don’t blow them out. Hurts worse if you chuck it at someone.

@finalremix What are the odds that it cuts my cigarette in half
@Hypnos Hi. May i suggest you don’t light your ciggy in the middle? lol
@mellowirishgent Don’t tell me how to live.
@finalremix The only major drawback I’ve found is that the button on the side is easy to accidentally press and there is no cutoff for when the lid is closed, so putting these in your pocket is a bit scary.

@mellowirishgent Please ask Irk something. I’d love to see which mispronunciation of your handle he uses…
@mellowirishgent Why so angry? Who hurt you?
@takenforgranite Angry?I’m actually very happy , Hope you are also …enjoy your day brother !!!

@mellowirishgent Wait…we can use these as welders? That could be interesting!
I don’t see how they could fire a one-hitter, not that I’m an expert weeder or anything, but if they could they probably would never have had to dump them on meh. Anyways, there goes the great stocking stuffer for my reeking sons and nephews.
@borisparsley a metel hitter causes a shock when connecting… like a mini stun-gun.
@SoftAsFur thanks and I’m glad you’re all right!
Wow, they’re back again? And $2 more expensive this time!
@Aractor Yeah, I thought last time I’d be interested in some of these if they were dirt cheap. I did not think I’d be interested in them if they were more expensive.

If you attach this to yesterday’s headphones, does it go B-bzzzt?
/giphy nope

/8ball Is this a joke?
My sources say no
Seriously? again? Can’t you guys find another knife or something instead? This is like the 3rd time in recent history
Lame! Still don’t see how you could blaze up a bowl with these, plus overpriced AGAIN.
@robson light a candle then use the candle. Simple.
@robson
Hey, Look. I know how to google!
I wonder if these can be used as a taser
Maybe I’ll bite when pot is legalized. Meh for now.
@hugeelvis Useless for pot, cigars, and most anything besides paper because the prongs are too close together and lid doesn’t move out of the way.
Yeah, and like others have said, no safety interlock.
These things are not very good, even for cigs. They dont light the cig evenly and the first two puffs taste a bit strange. They also give off this annoying high pitched whine when lit.

@bluith Not even useful for candles, unless you have a tall, narrow candle.
@caffeineguy Seems like they should be all the rage in churches.
No one can get rid of these things. No one.
Merry birthday for amazing son

@Hockachu OMG … Not dead dears … especially not when I’m drunk
@Hockachu +1 for drunk shopping
So is this a deal?
2 for $24.99 over at woot
Or 4 for $45.99 if you have a lot of stockings
(+shipping)
Already got two of these…what I really want is another coffee maker that leaks.
Try to light a cigar with one of these … Right
@Frankns that’s why there are two; double fisted cigar lighting action!
Actually a domesticated fox is on my Christmas list…no joke I already started building the enclosure environment for it.
If I don’t get one, I’m blaming you meh
@msujp OK- let me get this right. IMHO a domesticated fox is basically a young cougar, with a nice set of cans, that can cook and clean. Why would you need to build an enclosure for that?

@gak0090
“Enclosure” means kitchen.
@warpedrotors Ok, I get it, trying to recreate the natural habitat for the domesticated fox. I completely missed that, thanks for the clarification.
/8ball Am I wasting my money here?
Yes definitely
These are really handy for some bow maintenance in archery…
@zraizen elaborate?
… or to recharge the Dilitium Crystals in the photon warp generator … aye aye captian!

I bought this last time it was up on meh, they are frikin nifty, though there are a few caveats:
Other than that, these things have serious wow-factor.
meh; too small a flame for cigars!
Hmm. Well they look cool. I hope they don’t righteously suck.
/8ball do these come with a starter pack of addicting cigarettes?
My sources say no
I ordered a pair and one of them started overheating. Is this know to happen?
