I had some issues with my lighter when I first bought it (Totally my fault) but luckily it was insanely pleasant dealing this company. Most of the time I hate doing it because it's not a real person or it takes days for the company to get back to you. The customer service is top tear. Everything was explained clearly and they even went as far to send me tutorial videos on how to fix the lighter. My lighter works now and I am so thankful and amazed how easy it was accessing the issue. The product itself is also amazing from the packaging to the green flame that comes out of the lighter. It feels more luxurious than opening a Loui Vittion gift bag. If you're thinking about buying this product, do it, it will not let you down!

Cool and unique idea- failed execution.
Agree, packaging is very upscale.
However the green flame is a temporary phenomenon and the additive used does not last long. Mine less than a month and I don't smoke- used for incense and candles etc.
Also the flame lost volume and strength, which they said was due to the quality of butane I used. maybe
Finally the quality of the car itself is lacking- definitely not on the scale of a 'hotwheel' car. E.g.wheels don't really spin freely and I would say the details are on par with something you would get at a dollar store.
But I do appreciate the effort, however not worth the price point. Their margins are robust. And to be fair- they should declare the green flame is only a temporary feature.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, we genuinely appreciate you explaining your experience.
You’re absolutely right that the green flame effect is temporary. It’s produced by a trace additive in the fuel, and through normal usage that additive is gradually consumed, after which the flame returns to a standard color. This behavior is common across all colored-flame torch lighters, not unique to ours, and we agree this should be communicated more clearly upfront so expectations are set properly.
It’s also worth noting for readers that flame strength is always relative to the quality of butane being used. As outlined in our instructions, refined butane is recommended; lower-grade or unrefined butane can result in a noticeably weaker flame and reduced overall performance. Using refined butane helps preserve both flame quality and the long-term performance of the lighter.
We do want to clarify one point for readers: the lighter itself is made of solid metal, not resin or plastic. The car form is designed first and foremost as a functional lighter with a display style exterior, rather than a precision rolling diecast model. From a technical standpoint, most users prefer that a lighter does not roll easily when placed on a table, so wheel movement and detailing are intentionally aesthetic rather than engineered for free rolling. We appreciate your feedback on how that translated in practice.
Our pricing reflects solid metal construction, small batch production, custom molds, hand assembly, and packaging, rather than mass-produced scale toys. That won’t make it the right value for everyone, and it’s completely fair if it didn’t feel worth the price point for you.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this more closely and better understand the specifics of your experience. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to review the details directly.
Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback, it’s taken seriously and helps guide future improvements.

Amazing Flame Intensity
Honestly the product is AMAZING and I got a lot of positive feedback when taking it out to light candles at parties or lighting up fireworks. The intensity of the flame is great. I also had a slight issue with my unit but the customer service was one of the best I've dealt with. I was able to communicate my issue and would immediately get a response back with potential troubleshooting solutions until we got it working. 10/10 seriously

Amazing quality
The lighter its self has great quality and the design looks amazing and clean. The packaging they come in look clean and are great to keep the lighter safe. This is also a great way for me to stop buying lighters as this one will last me a long since it has great quality. Only thing that needs improving in the future is yhe variety of cars which im sure will come.
