Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Just tested it, 2 of the “luminous green” would come out to 12.41 or something, so yeah, it’s a fixed discount, and out-the-door price depends on the base price.

Interesting that it both let me do multiple in one order, but would still be a valid code for another order, so stock up.

Smoke up, Johnny!

That’s pretty funny on the lighter price. It definitely doesn’t cost 20 normally. Similar lighters are being sold all day long for $8 for 2 pen style. The battery on mine previously purchase sucked and died right away. Holds a small charge to be useful but doesn’t last much before needing another charge. Pen Style

Yeh, I got one of those gooseneck thingies for lighting the gas stove when it acts up. It lasts quite a while on one charge, though.

Ordered 4 for gifts. came to $24 total. Thanks Ledhead… :+1:

Does anyone have any direct experience with these things? Will they be good for anything other than cigarettes? Like maybe lighting kindling to build a fire? It seems like there were lots of people that commented that they died pretty quickly. (as in permanently died)
I did order three of them, then read reviews… just call me DA. :expressionless:

i think if you remove, or break off the cover, you can use it as a mini stun gun. :melting_face:

and if you toss in the fire, it becomes a spectacle. the gift that keeps on giving :slight_smile:

Not Amz. Found on Slickdeals. 3 pack sanrenmu folders 2.75" blades from Field Supply $20 shipped with code FSVOL5.

That may be the best use of these things. I got the first one yesterday. It shows fully charged. I tried it on a common envelope. I had to touch the paper directly to the electrodes to get it to burn. I think it would struggle to light a fire using small pieces of wood.

I think they’re mostly useful for candles. But for that, the gooseneck versions. I don’t smoke, and wouldn’t want to rely on them in a survival situation.

I am going to fully charge it today… but as a former smoker, I wouldn’t even think they are much good for lighting cigarettes.

They’re like the push-in car-type cigarette lighters. You know, the ones where you push it in, it pops out, and the coiled foil glows red and lights your smokes when you poke the cigarette at it.

They’re for contact, and don’t just throw heat like an open flame.

Works fine for lighting a gas stove. In fact, the clicky type stoves use an arc to do just that.

Works fine for lighting paper on contact. Ditto for candles, where you stick the wick where the arc is.

But yeah, if you’re trying to light a small stick or something, you need kindling of some sort to light up first, then use that (an actual flame, not an arc) to light the stick.

Was going to bite on the lighter, but I see there’s a version with a pull out tube, seems better for reaching things as the “arc” does not really stick out like a flame would.

This is the one I use and I just noticed it is 56% off ($7) What a coincidence

I quite like it, personally. The long slender nature is very nice for these sorts of lighters.

Sorry, it’s not Amazon but TS10 for $11.99 on their site. 4 colors, 4 aux colors.
4k and 6k. Includes battery and charger. TS10 link.

I see $16.99 at that link. Still a great price, but $5 more.

1 Thank

Weird! That link still works for me. I see some of the options are sold out, but still 11.99. And sorry again. It’s Aliex, not Wurkkos’ site.

Interesting. I wonder if location matters… The link does go to the official Wurkkos store on AE.

I think we’re both in the USA. Unless they’re chopping up the USA, which could mean war! :wink:
Maybe someone else can check.

Edit: The link even has the price in it. …[USD!33.98!11.99!!!33.98!!%402101f…

Instead of those electric dingus lighters - that all seem to get negative reviews about battery life (or non-life).

An old school Zippo will just about work every time. Like forever if you keep it in flints and fluid.
