In Pakistan, where quality and price are the key, and options range from budget-friendly disposables to lifetime investments.
But with so many choices, how do you start? Let’s dive in.
The Main Types of Cigarette Lighters
Understanding the types is the first step. Here’s a quick overview
1. Classic Fuel-Based Lighters
These use butane or lighter fluid and are known for their reliability. They’re windproof in many designs and perfect for everyday use.
- Zippo Lighters: Iconic American-made lighters with a lifetime warranty. They’re refillable, durable, and come in stylish designs like crown skulls or mercury glass. Ideal for collectors or those wanting something that lasts for years. Check out our Zippo Lighters range starting at Rs. 1,400.
- Jet Flame Lighters: Produce a strong, blue flame that’s great for windy conditions. Models like the Jaguar Jet Flame are compact and powerful.
2. Electric and Flameless Lighters
For a modern twist, electric lighters use arcs or coils instead of flames, making them safer and eco-friendly.
- USB Rechargeable Options: No gas needed, just plug in via USB. They’re windproof and child-safe, with no open flame. Perfect for indoor use or travel. Electric Lighters – Explore our Focus Electric Lighter at Rs. 1,799.
- Arc Lighters: Like the Electric Arc USB Lighter, these create a plasma arc for precise lighting.
3. Specialty Lighters for Fun and Function
If you’re after something unique, these add personality
- Gun-Shaped Lighters: Fun designs like the Gun Lighter that double as conversation starters. Great for gifting.
- Cigar Lighters: Triple or torch flames for even burns.
- Kitchen and Outdoor Lighters: Long-neck designs for stoves or camping.
No matter the type, always prioritize safety. Look for child-resistant features and avoid overfilling.
Important Things to Look for When Buying a Lighter in Pakistan
Not all lighters are created equal. Here is what to evaluate:
- Durability and Material: Metal lighters are tougher and don’t break easily if dropped.
- Flame Adjustability: Most lighters have a small dial to adjust the flame size, which helps you control it more accurately.
- Refillability: Refillable lighters help you save money over time. Butane fuel is affordable and easy to find in Pakistan.
- Windproof Design: This feature is very important for outdoor use. Jet flame lighters work best in such conditions.
Pro Tip: Always check how long a lighter can last. Disposable ones usually work for a few weeks, but refillable lighters like Zippo can last for decades if you take good care of them.
How to Pick the Right Lighter for Your Daily Use
- Daily Smoker? Go for something reliable and pocket-sized, like a classic Zippo.
- Outdoor Enthusiast? Go for windproof jet flame lighters. Our Eagle Lighter, priced at Rs. 1,950, is a great choice.
