Nah, they alternate. One zap is ‘\’, the next is ‘/’. Rinse, repeat very very fast.
Fwiw, I got a few of these , which seem quite nice.
The finish can scuff if you beat on it (pants pocket with keys, change, etc.), but at least out of the box, they look quite nice.
Functionally perfect, no glitches so far.

Got my Arc lighter today. It’s got a bad battery. It take about 5 minutes to charge and only lasts around 6 two second uses. It’s going back to Amazon tomorrow.
I ordered this one. I’ll have it Friday

Hi is the tank you bought for your titanium lighter still available elsewhere it seems to be sold out on the link you gave.
Thanks.

Looks good :+1:
It is good. Charge lasts a long time and the build quality is very good. I bought a second one as a spare.

Thanks for the quick reply any alternatives?
I got stuck down this rabbit hole after getting a pack of Zorro pads that hold down the cotton wading for my Zippo.
First discovered their outside hinge trick lighter then the armour and am very tempted to get.
Have a good night/morning.
Cheers.

Those tanks seem to be all that’s available right now
What were the complaints, bad flow/ flame, leaking?

Pretty much seems to evaporate at same time as regular wadding.
I may get one and see. £19 and change isn’t expensive from Japan. Surprised there aren’t more options from China.

I have done some more research and the general feeling is its a good tank and doesn’t evaporate if you fill to the max to let air bubbles escape so I have ordered one. Thanks for the help CRX.
How long did your titanium lighter take to arrive, I am in Wales. I am thinking about ordering when my bank a/c is better filled.
Edit - Ordered the lighter I couldn’t resist it.

Thought about trying one of those out…are those lighters still holding up for you? Good battery life?

Yes they work much better when the air is replaced with fuel
Looks like it will require some experimentation to get the flow just right.
Shipping took only around eight months I think :laughing:
No, prob around three weeks or so.
What model did you order?
I hardly ever use ’em (don’t smoke), but they hold their charge quite well. Never had to recharge it yet, and it still fizzes out a good spark.

I was gonna say, my heart dropped when I heard 8 months. Ha! you got me there.
I ordered the titanium one you linked to in the first post in this thread.

Same as mine, copycat huh
Nice choice, I think you’ll like it
You will get some extra o-rings with it but will need more eventually, so 0.5mm watch gaskets work with these, can’t remember what size exactly but I bought a multipack with various sizes in it to keep me going.
Keep the seal clean with a very very light smear of silicone grease on it too.
Also I use extra long swan flints.
