How Different Lighters Work

　　How do BBQ lighters work?

　　You can't make delicious hot dogs and burgers on the grill without a grill or lighter. These lighters work when you slowly push down on the lever, causing the flame to shoot out of the long nozzle.

　　Typically, butane is used as a fuel source for barbecue lighters. You can lift the nozzle to the grill, turn the turntable, and start cooking!

　　How do Electronic cigarette lighters work?

　　Electric lighters, also known as arc lighters, rely on electrical energy being transmitted between two ceramic nodes. The result is a laser charge instead of a flame.

　　The coolest part about the electric lighter is that it can be charged via micro USB - the same thing you use to charge your smartphone!

　　How do car cigarette lighters work?

　　Car cigarette lighters contain a ring of nichrome wire. When heated, this wire produces a powerful current that the driver or passenger can use for burning or smoking needs.
