We've definitely gotten a strong flame out of some battery powered products, and I'm confident we can do so reliably. They just happen to be one use, not sure if that's an issue or not :P
Samsung products get really 🔥
Reminds me of the joke: Every resistor can be a light bulb... At least once.
fully electric matches
😂😂😂
yeah i think samsung was experimenting with that a few years ago
Special Forces needed them for stealth Bong Hits ..
Crack.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Nice joke but you wouldn’t use this for bong rips…
@@Gruwg2024you can absolutely put a dab nail on a bong
Openly stating its a butane free lighter and then having it just be a butane free lighter is kind of a bit, big felony in advertisement. The fact this happened on such a high visibility platform like YT pretty much is confirmation that the truth in advertising laws are dead and buried. The scammers have no fear anymore.
China doesn't care about US laws. They violate patent and advertising laws on the regular.
It's a damn shame.
There's a reason all these Chinese companies have jank AF names. Get in trouble? Close up shop, change name, then open up again the next day. I think everyone has given up on policing these types since they just keep popping up.
@@NiSE_Rafter Can't get a meaningful amount of money out of them or meaningful enforcement of law.
were can I get those cans of USB electricity 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Are you stupid? ...they've got _electrolytes._ 😂
the lighter is USB-Powered: Universal, Standard, Butane.
Same place you download RAM from.
The term Military Grade always cracks me up. In the 80's, the military had transitioned from the 1911 to the Beretta as the standard sidearm. On the "Military Grade" version, after 1,000 rounds, the slide had to be changed because of the number of injuries from the slide cracking and coming off in the shooter's face. The civilian version of the same model didn't have that issue.
Because that's never happened to any civilian model gun, and is a perfect example of every piece of equipment ever acquired by he military. Just like how the M1903 Springfield turned out to be garbage because the first models had heat treatment issues. That's how you know they are all just cheap crap made by the lowest bidder. And that's also why the M16/AR-15 was such a flop, because it clearly proved it was complete crap after it was introduced in Vietnam. Definitely not a normal part of new weapon acquisition.
The slide cracking issues were caused by the out of spec 9mm NATO dod sourced. The test pistols for the xm9 tails survived 12,500 rounds without slide failures; plus it's never been an issue with civilian and police 92's which has been in circulation for over a decade. Plus dod had to pay Beretta to implement the design changes. Beretta's "fix" doesn't prevent cracking, but instead prevents a rained slide from leaving the frame and hitting the shooter. Beretta cut a shallow groove on the bottom left face at the back of the slide, all little longer than the length of travel. Then an oversized head hammer pin is installed in the frame. The edge of the pin head rides in the slide groove and stops the slide during a failure. With proper spec ammo slide failures are not an issue, but all m9/92's going forward have the oversized pin.
@@justforever96the real problem with both rifles was government incompetence. The 1903 receiver failures were due to government employees at Rock Island Arsenal performing the heat treat by eye instead of using pyrometers to accurately gauge the temperature. The inquiry found a 50-70 degrees difference for a given red color of the steel from a cloudy day to a sunny day. So they were over hardening the steel making then brittle. Springfield Arsenal did use pyrometers and there 1903's did not have the catastrophic failures.
The m16 got a bad rap because of dod penny pinching. To save money surplus powder was used to make early 5.56 NATO; that powder has a very different pressure curve then the rifle was designed for. So the bolts were trying to extract too early while the case was still under pressure, and we're ripping case heads off. Factor in cleaning kits we're never procured to save money, now you have a disabled right with no way clear the chamber.
So it's not fair to blame the rifles and there engineering when people don't follow procedures or source out of spec ammo.
It was well documented that the military was using sub-machine gun ammo in the pistol. The 9mm ammo was loaded to +p+ specs but the pistol was not rated for it. Civilians tend to pay attention to little details like that because they actually spend their own money.
bold of them to assume the military is paying top dollar to make sure troops have reliable firearms, any civilian that believes that clearly hasn't heard from friends that completed their tours
"Military Grade"
Translation: made by the lowest bidder out of the cheapest (low quality) materials.
Sold at an insane markup.
Being a vet I always get a kick out of that saying. It's just jargon. lol
I prefer the term "built as economical as possible using materials and components that meets the minimum requirements" , thank you very much.
You'd prefer they by from the highest bidder?
All of he materials are in the specification before the contract offer. Highest or lowest bidder uses the same material unless they get a waiver from the Govt. Your 'translation' is hyperbole and nothing else.
@@x-man5056 yeah, the correct translation would be "made by the lowest bidder, but marked up for arbitrary requirements and certificates stipulated by a contracting officer and engineer that don't know what they're doing because they were appointed to take over the project at the last minute."
The reason they are saying that it will not be on the market for long is because they know they will get in big trouble for false advertisement.
LOL China? Getting in trouble for marketing something wrong? Ok
Nah the"ll have it on stock cause they wont sell that great.. they just say that to give you a sense of urgency, thats one of the oldest sales tricks in the book
@@jamesbizs A smart lawyer could actually go after UA-cam (or whoever is selling the advertising) in a class action for fraudulent advertising.
You (the smart lawyer) have someone report the ad to UA-cam as fraudulent. UA-cam won’t do shit. You have a few more people buy the lighter. Those are your class representatives.
Then you sue the vendor AND UA-cam*. UA-cam will settle, the vendor will disappear. The settlement will be something like $15/unit + legal fees. The legal fees is where you, the lawyer, clean up.
UA-cam (or whoever) might want to settle before you’re granted class action status. This means less money, but less work. You essentially have a nuisance case that threatens to be a bigger case if they don’t nip it in the bud.
* The reason UA-cam will be liable is because they won’t take the advertising down because UA-cam doesn’t do shit when you report fraudulent advertising. That’s their liability: they continue to profit from selling ads to a fraudulent company.
There’s definitely rules on false advertising; it’s clearly mostly lies so in all likelihood they’ll just pay their fines after selling gobs of these to dummies who think this is some kind of half classified tool....I saw the ads for this on yt and watched through to realize it’s not electronic and was scratching my head like; “I’m pretty sure it’s gas powered” lol but they purposely don’t tell you
What's funny is there are real electric arc lighters. They are basically little stun guns, and they totally suck for lighting smokes.
Fact lol I carry one because it was a gift but it truly is a last resort for when I light my cigarette
I had one and I agree 👍🏻
And you're bummin' if you want to hit a bong with that lighter 🤣
I have 2 types of electric lighters, and both work very well, one uses resistive heat, like old car lighters did, and the other uses sparks like a stun gun, also works good, but only on fresh smokes.
Wrap a tone of bee line on that electric lighter it’s great to leave in your car as an emergency. But you only need a usb and some will and you can Smoke haha
Every interrupting ad on social media formats is a scam. If the platforms weren’t getting a cut you wouldn’t see the ads.
Man having youtube premium for a couple years has spared me the suffering of new ad trends.
10/10 worth it
I need to get that. It drives me nuts when I’m looking for something and I have to watch an add for a video that doesn’t help.
@@FunkFPVdo it no regrets from anybody I’ve known
UA-cam Premium is the one subscription service that I will never cancel. Could not imagine going back.

The ads for this thing are scummy and full of bullshit. UA-cam needs to crack down on these predatory ads. I've seen one about this lighter, about a "mini-air conditioner," a flashlight, and sunglasses. All invented by "an MTI (or insert other famous college) graduate who's ready to change the face of the industry." Or invented by the special forces. Special forces don't invent stuff. And it's garbage. "Used by the US military for years and kept classified." No, I'm a combat vet with almost 10 years in, including a unit that fielded new technology around the time they claim, and I've never seen *any* of these items.
Its fucking sickening.
OK, but what do you know about the high tech walking stick used by the Green Berets?
(I am not making this up. Another bullshit ad.)
Crack down? Hahaha! They're making money off those ads as well.
The second I hear a AI voice in an ad I know it’s BS no matter what it is.
At least it's a real product that exists...
Remember the straight up scams saying the government is giving away free money? Haven't seen em lately but I'm amazed UA-cam allowed it for so long, profited from, and forced us to watch them.
Lawsuit anyone?
Sidenote, not sure if "MTI" was intentional, but that's exactly what they would say 😂
Solid lunch break entertainment. Thanks, Wes.
YES... I was waiting for this from someone, and I'm glad it's here. About time.

Mini lightsaber clone originally sold by Hacksmith. Their gen2 mini lightsaber looks even better.
Just looked it up, it's insane how the Chinese market always copy designs down to the T
I'd like to see a review of the original Hacksmith one.
You guys are hilarious, hacksmith was the one buying them from China, I had one from aliexpress years before hacksmith ever made one
Damn it I bought one of those through hacksmith industries for 30 bucks twice what you paid same damn lighter.
@@i-refuse-to-set-a-username lmao for real, I think they made the gen 2 but this first one is clearly just an ali express drop ship
I bought one of these for $25 off amazon in february, to replace a broken family dollar butane torch for multi use choirs and parts heating. No problem with the Jobon lighter in light winds. I love this multi use low-cost butane efficient heat tool! Easy to see through those pathetic profiteering advertisement scams with their attempted marketing sabotage of a wonderful tool. Great to see another one of my favorite youtubers reviewing a great tool! :O
Gotta give it to you Wes, the Thumbnail is masterclass of thumbnails PLUS the tinge of sarcasm in the eye. Chefs kiss 😚 👌
Ope: edit. you forgot the Arrow pointing a the thing -minus 0.5 points.

Haha I was going hard on the Macaulay Culkin face 😜
Available at any hole in the wall liquor store as well
at this point of time, anything that says "Premium" is a scam
I saw that fake ad! no fuel 100% electric!🤦♂️ Thank you for doing this video!😎🇺🇸
watching this at 2 am. way better than sleeping.
Same, I have to be up in 4 hours.
"Windproof Blue Flame Lighter for Cool Men"
Wait, I'm a cool man. I should have this already.
I’m glad you bought that ,so I didn’t have to!!!!!!
Don't forget the part about drinking warm water before bed for that one trick. Lol
Crocodile dundee lighter.
"that's not a lighter, this is a lighter".
lol
I have seen that butane lighter advertised on here many times and many times I've said to myself that is totally BS. Never did not use butane or some sort of fuel there would be no way for it to light the way it does. I appreciate the fact that you gave the sarcastic answer and I only wish that it would move these people from advertising on here. It's totally BS.
I'm thinking about buying a Chinese EV. The real "value pack": Car, cheap, and flame-thrower, all in one assembly.
gotta love ya brother! Honesty, a lost art... with a side of sarcasm, another lost art. I really enjoy your content!
Pre-charged electricity...just to eliminate any confusion that it might be post-charged electricity.
I love the reviews, they are worth a read too
“I wanted an electric torch”
Well, you are going to be disappointed lol

Love your shirt, are you a vet? I retired from the Air Force right at 20 years. I pretty much did what you do now, working on heavy equipment on the flight line.
Keep it up, your videos impress and give me a good laugh at the stupidity of some people. The way you call them out is on point!
I am not a vet but I respect any one who served 👍🏻
@@FunkFPV I really appreciate that, thank you! I retired in 2015. I do miss it at times, but I get reminded each day how hard on your body heavy equipment maintenance is.

If I had a southern accent I put everyone to sleep 😜 Thanks bud 👍🏻
My parents fell for it and gave it as a gift... Honestly... It works great for cleaning up my 3d prints and has become a a great part of that toolbox...
In Australia we are currently getting a very similar ad on UA-cam, but where yours says it was developed by the US SF, ours says it was developed by the Australian military, along with the same secret nonsense.
Our advertisement says it was developed secretly by the Canadian Military. 🇨🇦
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😊
Love your stuff dude, cheers from N. California 🍻
Been wondering if this was going to be reviewed thanks
The production quality has improved!!
Great video! I bought one of the same lighter seen here but I instantly regretted making the order and I cancelled. Now I have no regrets. I suggest to anybody who ordered one themselves call your bank or credit card company and report fraud and demand, or just ask politely for your money back.
Thanks for that. I thoroughly despise every ad that claims it's military grade hardware. The flashlight with the 2 mile range thats super bright, used by special forces to spot enemies (that somehow doesnt give away their position). The sectional hiking stick. There are so many.
Hacksmith sells this (butane fired) as their mini saber. It’s a great butane lighter/mini torch.
And now from watching this fine presentation, my FB will be full of these ads.
Touche'
Love your honesty keep it up
I like you, I really do ! I appreciate you’re humor and your honest reviews regardless how good or trashy the product is. I’m telling you now I’ll get over it but I’ll never forget these 12 minutes of my life you just burned up with that torch.
Keep up the good work, I’m off to go shopping for some composite toe osha approved sandals now.
my first thought? "oh look, babies first lightsaber."
I own one of these! I got one as a Christmas gift from my uncle back when they were literally still just marketed as what they are supposed to be: a table lighter for cigars.
Thank you for this much needed video. Reminds me of the Chinese survival staff/warrior-shovel/spear/fire starter/tri-pod???/etc,etc,etc.
Glad you're starting to get the views you deserve buddy. Feel like I was one of your first couple thousand viewers:)
I appreciate it 👍🏻 UA-cam is like the ocean. You get ups and downs. You just keep plugging away and have fun.

I"m shocked... shocked I say
Multiple companies sell them. I have had 2 for a few years now. They work great. Start my fireplace, charcoal grill, etc.
Love your stuff and love that shirt god bless you sir
Well, technically part of a butane flame is a plasma, and air plasma lighters that use a remote variation on a technology invented by Nikola Tesla exist, but that’s not one of them.
So the ad isn’t *complete* bs, it’s just name-dropping misleading advertising hype which includes a tiny fragment of fact which shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Fifteen bucks is kinda steep though. I bought a “crack pipe” torch at a smoke shop that produces a similar flame that sits upright on its own and has a lock so it stays lit hands free for nine bucks. The butane tank is even clear so you can see how full it is. I think I’ll stick with that.
I keep seeing these ads too. Looked like shit to me
I bought one of those for $6 dollars 3 or 4 years ago. Its been a pretty good investment. I like it.
I also like using tools that are three times bigger than they need to be, as long as they look pretty cool.
Ironically I have never seen any of these advertisements. I just happened to need a lighter and this one came up when I searched it. The flame was impressive when I got it. Easily the most powerful lighter I've ever had. I use it for incense and play around with it. I have also used it to crisp toast. Satisfied with my purchase.
You should have bought the Hacksmith mini lightsabres. They are similar to this and made by "The Hacksmith" UA-camrs and look cooler and are gonna be of clearly higher quality vs some Chinese crap and you can get addon discs that can change the colour of the flame. They clip around the place the flame exits and contain minerals and metals that react with the flame to change its colour
I bought the original one from HackSmith when it was released and it's a lifesaver when camping. My only complaint was that it didn't hold a ton of fuel, although they did fix that in the gen 2 model.
What's wrong with a Bic lighter? I never understood the point of these things. Unless you are like working on a mountain or something in constant high winds. These just use fuel up like crazy, they don't ignite things better, flame is flame. And bics are super cheap and portable, and useful for many things.
@@justforever96 Nothing wrong with a bic lighter. I'd even prefer one if concerned about fuel usage. This lighter had helped me when I somehow forgot tinder and all I had to burn was damp wood. Beside a rare case like that, ya a bic is probably a better option.
It's crazy how it says rechargeable, and people on amazon are complaining about it not and how it's a scam. The thing is electric lighters usually use a piezo element to make the electricity. It just moves the electrons around. You don't need to charge it. I've had a electric torch that's lasted for years you just have to keep it filled with butane.
You are correct, but on the flip side I've also had thousands that just stop working either like after the first time u refuel it, or God forbid you use it for too long at once, and thing starts melting on the inside...
Hell I've bought several that worked the first 3 times I sparked em at the register while paying, get to the car or get home, and it's doneso
And yes I too have many that are years n years old n spark up first try each time.., got a vector torch for dabbing that's 15 years old and still works rn
@@dabmanian_devil you aren't wrong either. Not all lighters are built the same!
That could be useful for a little on the go jewelry repair torch for when I don't want to tote my full rig.
Yep. I fell for it. Bought one several months ago, got it, saw it needed butane, wondered if I had heard the commercial wrong, went to the website ... Nothing on there even hides that it's butane ... Huh?!? Wtf did I watch claiming it was fuelless Tesla blah blah blah ... I didn't know if I'd been scammed or if I'd misheard or dreamed it or wtf happened.
You were scammed 😁👍🏻
I love dry humor, cheers my friend
Would work good as a gas grill lighter.
After a year when the igniter stops working, use this instead of those wimpy long fireplace/candle lighter that you have to click 10 times to get to work
Every time…….lol.
Wife bought me one for my Bday just as a novelty to light my cigars, charcoal bbq and camp fires. As a flame thrower / lighter, its pretty neat.
You can get one in red sold by Weber in tsc, lowes, home depot, Meijer, and many other retail stores.
"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
Must have been popular! 🤣🤣
Just get The Hacksmith mini lightsaber
If you look up bright fire you'll see a bunch, now that I know what to search I'm snagging one for myself too!
I think that's to make lighting a bong easier. Also, it's got the reach of a crack lighter
No surprises but nice to have it confirmed without having to spend the money.
It has got to go through the fuel incredibly quickly, but still, cool looking.
So, I bought one. And, now... if only I had some crack... Lol. (You think I'm joking!)
BUT, actually, for difteen bucks? That actually sounds like a pretty good deal. This seems like it could get a fire going with wet wood or in the rain, etc. (I usually gust carry Mapp gas if car camping, and a bic when backpacking, but i could see this replacing thw bic when I'm out in the spring or fall in the Pac NW rainforests, as is my wont.
Also, this is a tangent, but, re: survivalists who carry their their flint and steel and fatwood and firebiws, etc, etc... Bic lighters are still about two bucks, and a dozen of them, which weigh less than a pound altogether, can start, literally, ten thousand fires. Fn loonies! (Not YOU, if course, the OTHER survuvalists that carry ferrociun rods, magnesiym, char cloth, etc...)
I have this lighter(different brand name but totally the same thing) but only paid like $15 on Amazon for it and it was advertised as a regular lighter.
It works pretty well, too.
had one of these, they're great for a few months then gunk builds up and the flame isn't the same after, shame because the flame is one of the largest I've seen on portable torches
Thanks
The USB port bit was pretty good.
Have a bernz o matic head that is 30+ years old. Its older than my kiddos, and works harder.
I actually have run across an actual electric lighter in the camping section at rural king. It produced an arc like a stun gun does.
Would love to have that for thawing locks.
I never saw any ads for this thing. But from this review, I might actually buy one.
$15 seems a little high for a lighter, but that 6 inch flame is pretty cool.
Keep an eye out when you are at convenience stores and dollar stores, I have seen lighters just like this at the checkout for half the price.
Here in New Zealand, the ad says NZ Special forces 😂
I need to see a short update on this, if its still kickin around the shop and works then I'll get me one too. The most impressive feature of any butane lighter is if the thing works after 10 clicks.
I bought a 100% fuel free also rechargeable lighter from temu for 5 bucks. It is fairly nice however. Has a digital display. You get about 25 lights before you have to recharge it. It works by creating an arc between two elements, no flame so it's only use is lighting cigarettes.
Ive seen the exact thing on amazon a while back. Looks like a fun toy that i don't need
Holy shit, u had me there in the first half 😂😂😂
I tried to get this exact video over to ya. Hysterical
8:29 “that’s shooting out 6 inches”. You just leave Taco Bell?
Maybe 😋
Dude has a freaking mini lightsaber😂😂
As a welder and a cigar enthusiast, the thought of having plasma near my face is horrifying. The advertisement is hilarious. It’s a big butane torch at best lol. The precharged electricity has me interested though haha.
The man doesn't realize it yet but he's got a lightsaber in his hands when utilized correctly
This lighter was classified? Okay, “UNCLASSIFIED” is a classification, by definition.
I recognized the flame pattern in the commercial. 😎
I got my popcorn and Ice water. Can't wait for this
Would that be good for that torch trick you did a while back where you use the wax to get out a very stuck bolt?
For something small. Anything big your going to need 6 cans of butane.
Fire is a plasma. That's the state of matter of fire: electrically charged gas. Fire is CO+CO2 that is giving off electromagnetic energy called heat.
Heat is electromagnetic radiation.
For a 6" flame, I recommend propane. Butane lighters require constant refilling.
Isn't youtube supposed to be stopping these ads that are false and fake. They sure go after content creators for bs
Not only that but that video is full of copyrighted material.
After their little desktop "upgrade"... I mean cmon. They're barely keeping it together at this point.
Glad you bought it! I almost did, now I wont!
you should do the one with the shock free phone case where they hook up one phone case shaking the crap out of it while the other one isnt hooked up lolol
Absolutely love this! It's a scam, but it's a useful butane lighter anyway.
I bought one of the dumb “Tesla lighters” after seeing a cool ad for one on here. I guess it was fine as a lighter, it had somewhat competent build quality, but for $25 plus shipping, I could get at least ten decent lighters from a gas station. The biggest problem was the battery life though, so I couldn’t take it with me camping or anything. Probably would have made a good sibling taser though…
I'd like to see Frank's demonstration of those 300 uses. 😂
