How Do Windproof Lighters Work?
Lighters are an essential tool for any smoker, regardless of what you smoke, be it a pipe, cigar or cigarettes. Almost all smokers have experienced the annoyance and frustration that comes with trying to light up on a windy day. Sometimes, all it takes is a slight breeze to snuff out a lighter. To combat this, many smokers have switched to using a windproof lighter. How do these devices work? Are they actually windproof?
As a matter of fact, these types of lighters actually are wind resistant. Most models are capable of withstanding even high winds. However, very high winds might still cause a problem; of course, if you're outdoors during such an act, you're likely in the middle of a hurricane! How do windproof lighters operate? What makes them proof against all but the strongest winds? Understanding how these lighters operate is not difficult.
Windproof lighters work on the principle that high pressure will beat wind almost every time. The fuel within these lighters is highly compressed and is released in a high-pressure stream. When the fuel meets oxygen (and a spark, of course), the result is a highly pressurized jet of flame. Traditional lighters do not provide this amount of pressure, thus they are easily put out by errant breezes. However, it takes a considerable amount of wind to put out a jet torch lighter.
You will find a wide range of different lighter styles and configurations available. Dual jet, triple jet and other styles exist. You will even find dual flame lighters that incorporate a high-pressure jet of flame with a traditional flame, which is usually mounted on the side. The traditional flame offers benefits to pipe and cigarette smokers when the conditions are not windy, while the jet torch ensures that even a cigar smoker can light up in windy conditions.
Locating the right lighter model for your needs is not horribly difficult, but you will need to know what's available. You will find that numerous manufacturers offer lighters with wind resistant properties. However, you should compare several things about each lighter before making a choice. Items for consideration include the duration of the warranty, the availability of repairs or replacement parts and what other consumers thought about using that particular lighter. You can find the right lighter with minimal effort.
