There was once a time when creating fire was an affront to the gods, but now all it takes is some spare change and a trip to the gas station. Disposable lighters are definitely convenient and available in basically any populated place, but you can do better than a Bic knock-off.
The Plazmatic VEO Flameless Lighter makes the case for replacing butane with plasma. Most significantly, the flame is completely weatherproof. If you need to build a campfire in a sideways downpour, or light someone's cigarette in the most futuristic way possible, this lighter's electric beam can make a reliable flame in all conditions. It's battery life provides up to 100 lights, and it only takes an hour for a full recharge using the same AC plug as your phone.
Pick up a Plazmatic VEO from the Boing Boing Store for $36.99.
