Montbell Plasma Lighter

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A windproof electric lighter that will ignite most flammable materials. The Plasma Lighter can be charged on the go, so you’ll never need to worry about running out of fuel again.

Life Systems says: 

This lightweight and durable Plasma Lighter allows for quick and easy fire lighting and is ideal for lighting anything from campfires, gas stoves to BBQ firelighters. It’s also windproof since there’s no flame and never needs fuel. The lighter uses electricity and special coils to generate the plasma arcs to ignite the materials required. Using the provided USB cable, the lighter can be recharged from any standard USB port.

Our Verdict

This is a handy little gadget. This windproof electric plasma lighter can ignite most flammable solids, liquids or gasses. I have mainly used this to like my MSR WindBurner, as it doesn’t have an inbuilt ignition. It’s effortless and much safer than with a gas lighter.

The “arc beam” emitter can be extended so your hands are safely away from the flame you are lighting. As this is an electric lighter, it cant run out of fuel as a lighter can, it can run out of power, but then it’s just a case of charging it up. This can be done on the trail with a battery pack, so you’ll never need to worry about running out of fuel again.
