Is a lighter effective because it’s on fire? Or just because it’s hot?
If you made a lighter that was just as hot as another lighter, would it work just as well even if it had no fire?

My lighter uses an electric arc, great for cigarettes, doesn’t seem to like weed as much.
I figured it prob won’t like bowls but I assume joints are fine?
I think it’s the more uneven burn. It’s got an articulating neck type thing so it’ll get into a bowl just fine it just doesn’t want to light it, and joints it just kinda fucks up the end and maybe gets a half-assed light.
That’s so sad 😢
I’ve wondered about those for camping. I can see how the electric arc would be perfect where you have something like an edge of paper, but I did wonder if it would still be effective with other fuels.
I haven’t tried setting paper on fire directly, to be honest. Being that it’s so hot but also a localized heat I suspect it might be hard to get flames from, just embers.
So intrusive thoughts won while I was in the bathroom and I grabbed a square of toilet paper. Boy oh boy will it light paper on fire.
