I carry an arch lighter everywhere. It cost me $15 but saves me a ton in lighter fuel, and you'd be surprised by the number of every day situations that a controlled burst of plasma solves. Opening packages, lighting candles, kills mosquitos in the dark, and it's a fantastic taking piece as mine slots into a zippo.

Only downside is I can't use my zippo for light on the off chance I get trapped in a dark tunnel.

Zippo sucks imo because the gas evaporates so quick

Exactly, as a non smoker, I don't use it enough to justify the cost of fuel. That's why I like the arch lighter insert. All the look and feel of a zippo but I have to fuel it annually instead of hourly and it takes USB instead of oil.

Use your arc lighter to light something else on fire: your shirt, Joe Pesci's head, that angry bear you didn't notice at first in the darkness but really hoped it was Scooby-Doo

Neat! Didn’t know these existed.
