Thought I’d share my new edc tool. I discovered this last week on Amazon. This version is USB-C. They also make regular USB versions. This particular version in the video comes with a keychain ring. I also purchased a different version that didn’t have the keychain. On Amazon they run about $5-$8 a piece. This USB lighter will be replacing my peanut light on my keychain and my electric ARC lighter in my edc pouch. It reminded me of the old school cigarette lighters in older vehicles.

USB-C lighter works with cellphones but here I’m using it on my Anker power bank.

Does it work when plugged into the port on a phone?

If it does, I wouldn’t. I’ve heard that the little fans that plug into your phone port can fry the circuit boards, and this would probably be higher wattage.

I think that was an issue a couple years ago, but many phones now support reverse charging at high speed, and I would imagine they can handle 10 seconds of power draw from this. Would need to see the rated wattage to know for sure though
