How does the grinding wheel ignition work?

You spin the textured metal wheel with your thumb to strike the spark, the way a traditional wheel lighter works, rather than pressing a button. The spark lights the windproof element.

How long does one charge last?

The listing gives no light count per charge. Expect a limited number of lights between charges, so top it up before a trip or a long day out.

Is it windproof enough for camping?

The flame is described as windproof, so it should hold up in breezy conditions better than an open flame. It is not a waterproof lighter, so keep it dry.

Does it use butane or fluid?

No. It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery charged through USB, so there is no fuel to buy or refill.

What comes in the box?

The lighter and a USB charging cable. No wall adapter is included, so use a standard USB port or your own adapter.

Is it good for pipes or cigars?

It suits cigars and cigarettes, but the windproof element is not a soft flame, so pipe smokers who want a gentle flame may prefer a traditional butane lighter.
