Um, gosh, Jim, isn't that just, um, a lighter?

Well, I guess, but it's pretty darned squeamish lighter.  Let me tell you lot what I similar nigh it.

First, it's got a piezoelectric ignition.  Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 skillful one.  One that industrial plant pretty reliably.  It ordinarily takes ii clicks, but it really consistently lights on the bit click.

Second, it's a torch.  In other words, that open fire comes out of the nozzle amongst unopen to force.  It's non similar a candle open fire that tin dismiss endure blown out easily.  It's got decent air current resistance, too I tin dismiss plow it unlike directions including sideways too direct downward which is pretty squeamish for lighting sure enough stoves.


What's that you lot say?  Hand held lighters amongst piezoelectric ignitions don't run really good at altitude?  Well, you're absolutely correct nigh that.  I've had lighters amongst piezo ignitions neglect every bit depression every bit 8,000 feet/2400m too succeed every bit high every bit 10,000 feet/3000m.  Somewhere inwards there, most piezoelectric ignitions on manus held lighters are going to fail.  But that's actually non a work amongst the Soto Pocket Torch.  Just delineate the caput off, too underneath the covers is an everyday Scripto lighter.

That Scripto lighter has an ordinary flintstone too steel type striker which is not affected yesteryear altitude.

Another squeamish affair nigh that Scripto lighter:  If you lot desire to know how much fuel you've got, only concur it upwardly to the light.

Update fourteen February 2012:  I went to the local store to larn a novel Scripto lighter.  They were out.  On a whim I tried a Calico brand lighter inwards the Soto Pocket Torch.  It worked only fine.  And of course of pedagogy it should.  I only checked their website too Scripto is owned yesteryear the same company.  Just a tip then:  If you lot can't honor Scripto brand, endeavour Calico.

So, at that topographic point you lot lead maintain it, Hikin' Jim's recommendation for a lighter.  It's non precisely ultra light, but it is ultra convenient.

Hope that's a helpful gear tip,

HJ
