How do Plasma Lighters Work?
A Plasma lighter is a bit different from a regular lighter as it does not produce a flame to help light things up, rather it uses high voltage between closely placed electrodes which gives an electric arc that is used to light up stuff. Basically the current flowing between the electrodes ionizes the air which in turn produces plasma. These type of blunt lighters are also known as windproof lighters; no flame so the wind does not have an effect on the lighter. For all those people, who ask ‘are plasma lighters safe’ – yes, they are completely safe but of-course you should not hand it to your kids.
The classification of plasma arc lighters is done in one way; on the basis of how many arcs the lighter has. There are only two types; single arc and dual arc. Single arc means only one bolt of plasma will be emitted and dual arc means two bolt of plasma will be emitted.
The lighters efficiency is determined by how fast it gets charged, how many clicks can a full charge provide you with, is the lighter light weight, can the plasma lighter light anything up, etc. All of this needs to be taken into consideration before buying a lighter.
No need to worry we have classified all of these particular aspects and came up with a collection of lighters we thought were the best in the market.

Best Plasma Lighters Buyers Guide
Although windproof plasmatic lighters are very simple one’s, still there are few things which you should know about in order to differentiate one another and know what you are purchasing. Here are the things you should know of:
Charging Capacity
Although, all the lighters included in the list of best plasma lighter are rechargeable but only few can hold charge for longer duration of time, or you can say for more light. You can expect 90-120 light from cheaper models and anywhere near 250-350 lights from costlier windproof lighters.
Number of Arcs (Single or Dual)
The main feature of these lighters is the number of arcs. Either the lighter can spark single bolt also known as single arc, or it can spark double bolt, commonly known as double arc. Double arcs are best for lighting cigars, blunts, or anything bigger. Single Arcs are used for lighting cigarettes and candle sticks.
Shape of the Lighter
Some of the lighters like Saberlight Sparq have cylindrical shapes making it awkward to put in pocket but they look amazing. The other lighters usually come in Zippo or Flip top shape. These types of lighters are not good for lighting candle sticks, but are best for cigars and cigarettes.
Windproof Design
The most needed feature is the lighter should be windproof. No one wants to keep lighting 4-5 times to light a cigarette and being embarrassed in front of others. These plasma arc lighters generate flame in completely different process, so you don’t have to worry about the flame being disturbed.
