These Electric Lighters are SO LIT

Get it?! Because they’re lighters… We’ll see ourselves out

Have you ever been stuck in a blizzard, caught out by the elements, barely hanging on to a street lamp as the hellish winds of the tempest buffet your body like a ragdoll, and then think to yourself, “Golly, if only I could make adequate fire for my smoke break.”?

Goddamn, do we have just the item you’re looking for!

The kickass people at the USB Lighter Company have basically created the new wind-proof Zippo.

It’s sleek, it’s sexy, it comes in a bunch of different colorways, and most importantly, it uses electricity instead of gas. That means instead of a boring old flame, likely to go out if a baby sneezed across the street, you’re playing with a double arc of electricity that Nikola Tesla would be proud of.

Perfect for all those smokers with pyrophobia.

You can get this new lighter for 20% less when you use TopUp to pay at the stores. Here’s how it works: Swipe down to see your Member Card in the app, tap on the little round button with the ‘$’ on it, and add money to your app. When you do that, we’ll give you more money to spend at the store. So, for example, if you add $60, we’ll magically turn that into $75. To pay at the stores, all you have to do is show your Member card at checkout, we’ll scan your barcode, and BAM, you’re done.

So get rid of that $0.99 BIC and go electric.

ZAP!
