The best electric lighters are also more economical and environmentally friendly. Regular lighters have to be refilled with lighter fluid; the cheaper ones you usually toss out. But electric lighters can be easily recharged to let you use them again and again. 4. Do plasma lighters actually work? Another useful feature is the 10-second safety shutoff. After 10 seconds of use, the electric arc will automatically turn off. This is designed to prevent overheating, but it doesn’t have to limit you. Just activate the control switch again and the electric arc will return.
Battery Life: Going to use the lighter only to find out that it needs to be charged is the worst. Give us quality, long lasting batteries! There’s a Micro USB charge port in the side, where you can insert the included charging cable. The battery is rated for 800 duty cycles, which is pretty impressive. Then again, it only lasts for around 25 to 30 uses per charge. On the plus side, there’s a set of four blue indicator pips to let you know the current status. That way, you always know when it’s time to recharge. What we liked:

An electric lighter, sometimes called a plasma lighter, creates heat with a high-voltage electric arc. It has two metal prongs at the front, along with an internal battery. When it’s activated, a current jumps across the two prongs, creating an arc that’s hotter than any flame.
The dual control scheme is both simple and safe. The slider near the bottom acts as a safety, and needs to be pushed forward for operation. Then all you have to do is press and hold the power button. Here, though, the Reidea can be a bit of a pain to use because that spring strength is a little too robust, and because this lighter doesn’t feature a flexible extension, so if you’re reaching down into the mouth of a votive or up to the tapers on a candelabra, you may struggle after a time to keep fighting that spring. If you have just got a few candles to light, it’s no sweat. But it’s more sweat the more times you have to repeat the process. This gives electric lighters a number of benefits. For one thing, they’re environmentally-friendly. You can reuse them multiple times, and they don’t burn Butane, which produces greenhouse gases. If you’re charging them from a green power source they theoretically contribute nothing to global warming. An electric lighter is the perfect solution to that problem. Electric lighters don’t burn fossil fuel, so they’re better for the environment. Not only that, but you can charge them again and again. The same lighter can last you for years, saving a significant amount of landfill waste. It’s no wonder that more and more people are switching to electric lighters. On the side of the housing is a small power button with an indicator light next to it. With the light on, press forward on the slide on the front of the housing. A pair of prongs will pop out of the tip, with an electric arc between them. The tips are shielded inside the housing when they’re not active, which is a great safety feature. Our only quibble is with the strength of the arc. It’s strong enough to light a candle in a few seconds, but that’s about it.The internal battery can be used for around 60 lighting cycles, depending on how long you hold the slider. This isn’t all that impressive, but it’s also plenty for any reasonably-sized task. It’s also easy to recharge via Micro USB, and a cable is included. The battery is rated for 300 duty cycles, which means 300 full charges and discharges. What we liked: However, with that said, there are a few things that (in my opinion) make some of these lighters better than others: Jet Lighter Lighters: This type of candle lighter produces a blue flame that burns at a much higher temperature than a standard soft flame, making it appear almost invisible. It is usually more expensive but produces a more stable flame, so is often safer to use for lighting candles.
