Single Action Cigar Lighter Technology
High-quality cigar lighters such as Lotus lighters oftentimes come with many convenient additions. Many are equipped with cigar cutters and other tools. Double and triple jets provide reliable lighting under any conditions. These lighters come in another form that makes them even easier to use. If one is tired of having to flip their lid every time they light up a cigar, a single action lighter may be the answer. These are among the most convenient of lighters.
A single action lighter is a lighter that performs all the necessary steps for ignition in one press of the button. Most often, butane lighters have a two-stage button. The first stage starts the flow of fuel and the second trips the ignition mechanism. A single action lighter does far more than this. High end lighters typically have a lid of some sort covering the jets. The single action opens up this lid with one press of the button.
Understandably, many shoppers consider more complex features to be something just waiting to break. With high-end lighters, this is not the case. While most products have become cheaper and less durable over the years, lighters are still expected to be heirloom-quality items in many cases. This means that the components are manufactured according to high standards of quality and with the intention of lasting for many years.
Many of the lids on lighters of this sort simply slide aside rather than flipping open. The latter models do exist. Usually, one can opt to manually flip the lighter open, should they prefer. Either way, the availability of the single action opening function is handy and makes the lighter a bit more interesting and impressive than it might otherwise be. These lighters are almost universally butane models as fluid-filled lighters use a spark wheel, not a standard button, to ignite the fuel on the wick.
Single action lighters are great for those who like the “gadget” feel of high-end lighters. Sometimes the action is as entertaining as it is practical. These are also good choices for those who have trouble with fine motor skills such as those with arthritis. The lighters are very easy to light and to use and the brand-name models ensure high standards of manufacture. The double and triple-flame models are particularly well-suited for those who like a bit of high-tech fun with their smoking pastimes.
