Today’s market offers a lot of options for lighters for all occasions. You can find solutions for smokers, for gas stoves and even exotic products for construction workers. The advantages of lighters over matches are quite obvious. Here and practicality, and service life, and other operational qualities.
For a good half of consumers, a small lighter is more than enough for every day. It remains only to choose what fuel it will work on (gasoline or gas) and what catalyst to use (silicon, piezoelectric element or sensor). We will consider the best lighters for every day, which can be found on sale in our stores.
We will analyze the most remarkable options in terms of design and practicality. So, let’s get started.
Zippo
Products from Zippo are the best gasoline lighters. Models of this brand are enviably popular all over the world. The company has a rich history that stretches back to the distant 1933. Zippo products are not in vain considered the best lighters.
All models, without exception, undergo a thorough quality control process on conveyors, and the percentage of rejects is minimized. On sale you can find products made of pure copper, silver, gold and even titanium alloy. Naturally, the best lighters have a corresponding price. But exceptional quality has never been cheap.
Features of Zippo products
Among the main advantages of Zippo products are the following:
- thoughtful wind protection
- Structural durability
- High ergonomic indicators
- The presence of a large number of collector’s editions
- Long-term manufacturer’s warranty
Of particular note are the Fusion and Armor series. In the first case, each model depicts some wonder of the world, and in the second we have interesting engravings and / or inlays. The best lighters from Zippo are presented in a wide range, so there should be no problems with the acquisition.
Collector’s editions are considered rarer, but still they are available to a wide range of consumers. In this case, some original additions are added with an accompanying patent. This is a good lighter both as a gift and for your own use – to amuse your ego. The cost of collectible models starts at 2000 rubles.
IMCO
This is an Austrian brand with product quality at the level of the aforementioned Zippo. Products cannot be called cheap (about 6,000 rubles), but, judging by the reviews, they fully work out the funds invested in them. Lighters “Imco” – a high quality, reliability and trouble-free operation in almost any environment.
Brand products will be an excellent gift for a business person and all those who appreciate the exceptional quality in everything. Imco products do not often appear on the shelves of domestic specialized stores, so many people prefer to order their favorite models online.
The main advantages of Imco lighters:
- There is no contact of the wheel with the finger
- Fully protected housing from contamination
- Molded construction without fasteners and screws
- Keeps working capacity in any conditions (heat, frost, water)
- Ease of maintenance (silicon replacement)
- Prolonged burning
- Concise design for business people
The lighter has a representative appearance, attractive edging with an ornament and is distinguished by silent operation, as well as small dimensions. The model fits perfectly in a trouser pocket and does not stick out.
But here you need to be careful. Due to the popularity of this lighter, a huge number of fakes have divorced on the market. Moreover, a good half of the counterfeit costs almost as much as the original. In addition, it is visually very difficult to distinguish a real Imco from a fake. But after a couple of flint clicks, it becomes clear where the fake is and where the original is.
Ronson
The Ronson company produces the best gas lighters, which is confirmed by numerous positive reviews from consumers. The most successful users consider turbo models. They do not care about the wind, and as a mini-burner they will fit perfectly.
Products from Ronson are not in vain considered the best lighters. The quality of performance here is at a very high level. Products from “Ronson” from the mid-price and premium sector are perfect as a gift.
BIC
When asked which gas lighters are the best, many will probably answer that these are products from the French brand BIC. Here we have almost the most meticulous OTK in production and a huge range of models. The latter differ both in appearance and in the “stuffing”.
It is also worth noting that BIC produces the best cigarette lighters. They are compact, reliable and easy to maintain. But the manufacturer works mainly for the segment of smokers.
Most models for every day come in a one-time format, that is, without the possibility of refueling. Such lighters differ only in color and pattern, and the design itself remains unchanged.
