Whether you’re toasting the herbs or smoking a fancy cigar, it almost feels criminal when you fill the air with the mediocre sound of an ordinary lighter. If you’re a newbie, this is the moment you take out your notepad. Because only a true aficionado knows that a lit (pun intended) smoking experience begins before you even light your smoke. In other words, before you’ve taken a puff inside, the jury could disregard your game even before it begins (what a shame!)—yes, despite the trench coat, hat, and the extravagant cigar.
Well, to be fair, it’s not a sin to smoke with the cheap plastic lighter you bought at the gas station, but it comes at the cost of an underwhelming experience. You might also be inhaling harmful chemical residue or flavor from your ordinary lighter fuel! You don’t want that, do you? Or, even if the fuel is nice, does the lighter guarantee your reputation would stay intact in stormy weather?
Okay, this wasn’t meant to give you anxiety. We’re just here to help you find the best, coolest lighter you’ve ever laid your hands on. Therefore, we’ve prepared a list tailored to some of the best and cool lighters that come with the promise of exciting and unique smoking sessions.
So, sit tight and relax because you’re about to take your game to the next level in your next smoking session. Ready? Let’s roll (pun intended!).
1. Zippo Ace Lighters:
We’re men of culture. So, we’ll fire up (you might get tired of smoking puns) the list with Zippo’s signature click—you’re supposed to hear this line.
Zippo in the world of smoking is like Rolex in the world of watches. The brand spoils you with its mighty catalog of lighters with cool designs. One that stands out (and always comes to mind) in the smoker’s community is the Zippo Ace Lighter.
If this bad boy doesn’t magnify the size of your eye-balls, what even will?
This magnificent chrome ace is a sheer work of art! Its journey involves multiple sophisticated imprint methods to bring out a completely unique design.
The pre-determined color palettes coupled with chrome breaks are used to create an iridescent, metallic look. The debossed image on the case creates a 3D-design, and the cherry on top is the blend of laser and auto-engrave process that imparts the glossy jewelry look.
What makes it a cool lighter?
- The signature click: The sound that barely lasts for a second has been a huge selling point of the company and would continue to be for ages because…there’s something really enticing about the way this bad boy talks.
- There’s a light that never goes out: The Smiths’ reference might seem uncalled for but imagine a lighter doing justice to the lyrics—yes, the flame just doesn’t go off (even when the wind doesn’t go in your favor).
- Zippo’s majestic service: Investing in a Zippo lighter is seldom a bad idea. Even though the lighters are defect-free, the company retains its customers by offering free repairs for the lifetime.
- Refillable for a lifetime: For optimum performance, it is recommended to use genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid, flints and wicks.
2. Zippo Harley-Davidson Eagle Wings Pocket Lighter
Since we’re discussing Zippo lighters, here’s another (and last) Zippo masterpiece.
If you’re a motorcycle lover, this is a no-brainer—just to be clear, this is still a fantastic choice if you’re not fond of motorcycles. Zippo allows you to fancy your pockets by carrying a distinctive Harley-Davidson® inspired designed.
If you look at the design of this super cool lighter, it resonates state-of-the-art craftsmanship. The Zippo artists put a fine amount of work into different imprint methods and laser programming that gives birth to this fine piece of work.
The features are the same as the abovementioned lighter, so no point in wasting time in repeating them. However, did you know you can also use Zippo lighters for tricks?
You may have watched people flaunting their Zippo lighters with all the trickery, it is about time you hold that surprise in your pockets.
3. Kivors USB Rechargeable Windproof Flameless Electronic Plasma Pulse Double Arc Lighter Chinese Dragon Loong Lighter
There are millions of lighters with cool designs in the market but the idea of a classic Chinese dragon breathing fire (read electric arc, we’re in 2020) to light up your cigarette adds a touch of raw class to your lighter’s design.
If the idea of refilling your lighter is off-putting to you, the USB rechargeable nature of this lighter gives you another reason to fall in love with this beauty.
So, apart from the killer design on the cover of the lighter, what makes it a cool lighter?
- Double trouble: Its double-arc is five times more powerful than single arc lighters.
- As easy as pressing a button (literally): It lights up easily with the button on the side. The lighter charges via USB in just 2 hours and can easily light up your 3-4 packs of cigarettes before requiring another. The safety feature ensures if you press the button with the lid closed, it will not light up.
- Lighting smokes without flames: It doesn’t need butane. Nor does it need you to scorch your thumb. It’s totally flameless and windproof.
4. RAW Clipper Lighter
Clipper lighters have also been a great alternative to Zippo lighters for ages. Even though their price seems relatively cheap, they still manage to craft lighters that feel premium and cool. Clipper lighters are filled with isobutane which is more intense than normal butane and is also a cleaner fuel.
It comes with a replaceable flint, is multifunctional (imagine opening a beer bottle with a lighter) and is easily refillable.
Why do we call this a cool clipper lighter?
- A packer and a poker, loved by every smoker: There’s a reason why this lighter would flash at your screen every time you’d look for cool lighters for stoners. The round body of the lighter allows stoners to pack their herbs in it while the striker makes it a perfect poker.
5. Tesla Coil Lighter
Yes, Tesla isn’t just innovating electric vehicles but also electric lighters. The CEO himself didn’t shy away from smoking a J on a radio podcast. The man cares so much that he couldn’t resist getting his hands into the world of cool lighters for stoners.
There’s a great sense of class in the sleek-design of this fully-electric lighter. It can last anywhere from 100-300 uses once fully charged. And the fun part is the fact that the lightening of the coil sounds like a lightsaber (if that adds any thrill).
Be at ease as long as you keep the lid closed. Its safety feature keeps it from giving you mild electric shocks in the pocket area.
What makes this a cool lighter?
- The futuristic thrill: Buying this lighter means you’re going towards an eco-friendly approach that is closer to the technology. Light your joints and blunts with a zing!
Keeping in mind that different things excite different smokers, the spectrum of smoking experience of these lighters ranges from classic to futuristic. So, choose your own adventure.
