I love using a jet lighter, but sometimes I end up with an end that's too short, and run the risk of melting parts of the paracord I didn't mean to. This arc lighter kinda looks a bit safer in that sense. Going to try this out, thanks for the vid!

[@docmeta477]

I appreciate that you answered a simple question with a simple answer right at the beginning of the video

I actually got that exact lighter a few weeks ago. I myself wasn't too happy with how it worked as a whole so I have been sticking with the butane torch guy. Awesome, video, thank you.

I feel like an arc lighter might be better for me since I don't work with paracord as often as I do more natural materials. I used to have a lighter that I used specifically for paracord, but in between uses it dried up and I didn't have fuel for it at the time. So I think I might try one of those arc lighters out.

Hey man, I commented on your last video about the “aurora” case😅 I meant AirPods case (autocorrect). I’m pretty sure an AirPod case would have a similar design to the coin pouch you made just with a slightly different shape and structure. If you could make a video on this that would be great. Keep up the good work 👍

[@kristinjohnson8997]

My question is does it blacken the cord. It seems like a lot of the paracord you're melting Has some black in it so it's hard to tell. The fluid lighters As long as you It out of the flame Don't seem to blacken , but if Get it in the flame You may end up end up with some blackening.

Can’t beat those jet lighters I’ve had one for years

[@OscarMartinez-js1it]

I thought it was a taser lol me and my brother keep tazing each other

[@deltakronrewardsvariant4340]

I've always had a question about the survival cord if you tried melting the snipped end wouldn't the Firestarter catch?

Gostei ! Onde encontro para comprar por favor ?

[@mikestolpp9195]

What happens when the paracord touches drips on the Arc Liter? Will it be Ruined at that point or can it be cleaned?

[@paracordwizard]

Arc lighters are not really a good fit for paracord work. There is a very high probability that the melting paracord will contact one or both electrodes and leave a deposit of nylon or polyester on the contact. Both compounds are insulators (will not conduct electricity) and therefore may distort the electrical discharge or completely suppress it. And if you try to remove any deposits from the fragile electrodes they will likely be damaged which will render the lighter useless. Arc lighters are really meant for paper, straw, tobacco, and similar dry material. And in order to generate 3000 volts from the internal battery, the circuitry consumers a huge amount of energy. So you normally have only a few mins of continuous use before a recharge is required. I would stick with butane fueled small torches.

Great answer Murray!

@@paracordwizard I mean your destroying the planet with butane and you r saving money with it being rechargeable

[@butterurbuns69]

@@jerimiahabraham6118 then they should have arc lighters with wider gaps between electrodes to be able to be effectively used for cigars and paracord alike

[@JohnnyJuke]

It looks interesting, but the jet lighter would be my choice at the moment.

[@gracious_milk3308]

i use a blowtorch to heat a knife then cut and seal at the same timr

[@imagineAnOnionHeckImagine2]

I got a plasma lighter for Christmas but it sadly is not good for paracord

[@landraver90]

If you can find one with a single arc they are far more useful and suitable for working with paracord. You are able to use the single arc like a knife to very cleanly cut as well as melt ends. I’ve used mine for a couple of years now and wouldn’t be without it 👍

[@name1355_0ne]

Jet lighters are more convenient for melting paracord ends

[@reneschaap8091]

Elke elektrische vonk is 3200 graden Celsius heet smelt een heleboel maakt zelfs een gat in frisdrank blikje !!!!!!

[@roblox1on146]

Cool I need one

[@DinoZampanta]

This great tech

[@TheElectricMan]

I thought you meant the car

[@jaysgood10]

To answer your question, NO. There is a big difference between a Tesla coil and an electrical arc. An electrical arc has relatively low voltage and high amperage to make the spark. The Tesla coil spark is the opposite. I’m sure you’ve seen videos of people standing in the middle of an arc from a Tesla coil.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

To be fair, I don't think I said or asked if they're the same. I just simply meant that these lighters are often referred to as tesla coil OR arc lighters by the manufacturers and places selling them.

[@jaysgood10]

To be fair, “Tesla coil arc lighters” sounds a bit more intriguing (clicky) than ‘Electrical Arc lighter’. I’m sure the manufacturers of arc lighters realize this, and use that to their advantage. Tesla sells well these days. Thank you Sir Weaver!
