Big Arc Lighter Magical “Flame” USB Rechargeable Plasma Electric Cool Lighter (Black)

This is a very good lighter. I have several arc lighters. Most of them have some point I like a lot. But this one has a couple things that stick out for me. First, it feels heftier than the others. The only thing I can think of for extra weight is a heavier battery. Which, as with all electronic devices, means longer use between charges. I charged it from 50% to full in under an hour. The one thing different with this one is that is charges with a C type USB connection. No big deal, because it comes with a C charge cable included. But if you have your "favorite" micro USB charger, just know it won't work. I have to admit, though, I am liking the C type better because there is no upside down way to insert the plug. Might seem like a minor thing unless you are like me and hate the puzzle of getting a micro into the plug. Another thing I really like about this lighter is that the switch to turn it on is a positive press-click button. Seems like many arc lighters have a touch-sensitive on/off button. Another plus is that when you let go, the arc goes off. And it will come right back on with a push rather than having to close the lid and reopen it--a hassle I don't care for. Upon opening the lid, it has the standard battery meter; 25, 50, 75, and 100% on the front just under the ignite switch. You won't get that from a Zippo. My usage for lighters is mostly for lighting sticks of incense, and this works great for that. But the one thing this one will do that I have so far NOT been able to do with other arc lighters is to light a pipe. The arc is wider than most and the posts are a little taller and enables the arc to be "sucked down" into the bowl to light the pipe. To pipe smokers, this is a great improvement for arc lighters. Of course, it will do all the normal things one might use a lighter for: cigarettes; piece of paper to light the trash; or lighting some wood shavings to start a campfire. And the larger arc will easily light a candle if your electricity goes out. I purchased the black lighter. It is also available in the multi-color style, too. I know the vendor for these and he is very trustworthy and accommodating if, for some reason, you have a problem. A couple years ago, I had a problem with a different style lighter and the readout. They took care of it immediately. I have said before that customer service is EVERY bit as important as the quality of the product itself. So, if you are in need of a lighter and would like to get away from the messy filling of fluid lighters or just don't want to fill the landfills with more plastic Bics and Crickets, this will be a great unit for you to own. Keep breathin' folks.

This has been my daily lighter for almost almost damn 2 years now!! It's August, October would be 2 full years. the only reason it stopped working is because I kept leaving it on my back porch table and it has been raining pretty hard almost every day for a week or so now. It actually still wants to work but you can tell it's wet inside, so now the arc is going back in it but it probably will work again when it dries out. Not only has it lasted this long but the plasma arc on this lighter is bigger and ALOT stronger than the other plasma lighters. It's strong enough to straight up melt thin aluminum and the wire on wire brushes. The battery is decent I think I only charged it like maybe once a month. This is definitely best one I found so far.

Bought this in February 2025. Worked great for 2 months. Then the safety thst doesn't allow it to light closed would stick occasionally. Kept using it though, just had to flick it open and closed a few times for it to work. Then a month later, the "big spark" reduced to a barely usable size. Now, it doesn't hold a pack of charges, the spark is almost non-existant and yeah... just cheaply made. Loved the feel of it when i first bought it, but now, it's useless.

Like using them but they don't last super long the plastic on the tips of it kind of burn off after a while and I would say at least a good 4ish months till it breaks down I do recommend this one it's probably the best lighter I could find for not super expensive

By far the best Arc Lighter I have ever bought. This is probably my 5th lighter and this one is my favorite. Construction, the entire body of the lighter is metal. It has a great solid heavy feel to it. The button is very solid and is also made of metal. The spring loaded top has a very solid feel and definitely doesn't feel cheap. Performance, overall it performs exactly how you would expect it to. The Arc gets very hot obviously, although it is not loud like other lighters. So no taser sound but I'd rather a quiet lighter. The tip of the lighter continues to work even if there is some dirt on it which is rare for these types of lighters. Battery is great and the best part is that it uses USB-C so basically every phone charger works with it. It does also include a charging cable as well. Overall this is the perfect electric lighter. It comes in a very well presented box so it would make a great gift. Also it has a great warranty which I have used with this company in the past.

I wanted to like this, it's really pretty in person and feels like quality too! I like that it shows the battery life and everything too. But the battery life is so bad it showing where it's at percentage wise doesn't matter. I charge it and maybe lasts a few times lighting it up before its drained, and it seems to drain whether I use it or not so if I don't use it for a couple days it'll need recharging. The bright side is it recharges fast, so if I need it for a quick moment I can charge it for a minute, that's still annoying to me though...! I'd return it if I didn't toss the box; If this isn't a faulty one then I can't recommend this.

I ordered this lighter about 2 weeks ago. Loved it initially but i noticed something off with the “100” power indicator light. In charge mode, when it indicated full battery the 100 indicator was on. But in usage 75, 50, and 25 were the only indicators lit. Sent a message to the seller (per the warranty) and within a few days a replacement was sent, along with a secondary piece (no cost to me). First off I still loved the initial purchased product even with a small malfunction. The replacements were even better. They work perfectly and had no issues. I use the lighter quite a bit and charge every 2-3 days for less than an 1hr tops. When I’m using it sparingly, charge can last up to 2 weeks. I would recommend purchasing the Big Arc lighter. Definite high value for a inexpensive USB lighter.

Nice looking sleek lighter. Very easy to carry in your pocket. The arc is nice and big, but the only complaint I would give, is that the charge doesn’t seem to last as long as other electric lighters. Otherwise it’s a nice piece.

--UPDATE-- Still loving this! I just purchased a replacement because the cap was getting loose on my original (which means you can't light it without two hands). In the photo, the lighter on the left has seen daily usage for a year and a half, whereas the right is the one I received today. The colour and finish are almost as bright as when I got it, and I'm not easy on it (I will frequently smother my bowl with the side of the lighter when it gets going too much). I was honestly really impressed that the colour didn't peel/flake/fade or otherwise distort. Great purchase! Great gift! --ORIGINAL-- Got this for my birthday just before Christmas. Had to get another one because my partner keeps stealing mine! Works great with my Red Eye Tek bong-no damage or issues even when pressing the arc against the glass. When burning out the end of a bowl you will go through the charge fast, so having a backup is a good idea if you’re not going to be around a source of electricity for a while. It’s so much better than a disposable but works just as well (and without the garbage, or lighter fluid taste). Feels like a zippo in the hand, and the click of the cap closing is really satisfying.

I love this. Great feel and decent arc. No need to press wick or other objects directly onto the arc, hold it close enough and the arc will jump to ignite a connection. A little bigger than I expected. However very slick, fashionable and modern.
