The fight against smoking is gaining momentum. Healthy life-style is encouraged by doctors and the media, government decisions are aimed at solving the problem, but a significant number of smokers still hesitate to part with the bad habit. For this group of people developed a new gadget - USB-lighter.
And without that a considerable assortment of lighters was replenished. Electronic lighters with USB have replaced the traditional gasoline and gas lighters, in which the filler can end at the most inopportune moment. In addition, in the usual lighters, the silicon element, which ensures the cutting of the spark for ignition, is often out of order.
The principle of the USB lighters
The principle of the USB lighters is similar to the famous cigarette lighter, which is equipped with many cars, and allows you to light a cigarette without the help of fire. The lighter is charged from the USB port of the computer or mobile device: the built-in spiral is heated by means of electricity generated by a miniature battery. Given that now every house or workplace has a computer, it is very convenient to use its electrical energy to charge the lighters. Moreover, the lighter with USB charging functions like lighters with a piezoelectric element: when the button is pressed, the flap opens, the voltage of the electronic circuit reaches the value necessary to heat the filament red.
Thanks to the features of the device, USB-lighter, unlike gas or gasoline, you can easily use in strong wind, under heavy rain and in very cold weather. Manufacturers claim that the full charge on average is enough for 150 to 250 cigarettes, while that for recharging you need about 30 minutes to 1 hour. In addition, the absolute safety of the device is important, which is achieved due to the absence of an open flame and a gasoline or gas filler, the use of high-quality materials from which the components of the device are made.
To save space in the pockets helps in combining in one gadget several devices. The cost of multifunctional devices is correspondingly higher than just USB-lighters. Here are examples of popular devices with several functions.
