Must have been lucky with mine I bought through Penguine, and works like a charm, yes you need to handle it delicately, but this is the case with so many props too.

Light It Up – Sansminds
Product description: If you would be able to do magic, what would you do? Fire and magic have a close relationship, flash paper, torch to rose etc.. With Light It Up, you are able to automatically light a zippo without touching it, which will add a touch of mystery to your performances. The idea is simple and I won’t reveal much by saying it’s an electronic device hidden in a zippo case, which gives you a timer of 5 or 10 seconds before lighting by itself. But Sansminds is known for half finished and not working products so let’s go into this review ! Price and where to buy it: This is sold at $120 for the black one, $150 for the classic walnut and $180 for Vigor Maroon and you can find them here : www.magicdream.fr What you get: The packaging is simple yet quite cool, usual from Sansminds, white and elegant. Inside, you’ll find the zippo which is a “regular” zippo case with leather housing and inside the electronic module. It’s well made and can be taken in and out from the metallic housing. What I like too is the way you can change the heating coil, which is the weak point of all device like this so you can change it if it gets damaged. You’re also supplied with a US charging plug and a usb cable. Of course, you get access to an instructional video which teaches you everything you need to know, from refilling the device, to charging it and using it. Overall, this is a nice piece of kit, it seems well made and works as advertised. Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec4Xbj6DsGg&t=11s The pros and the cons: Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS: It’s an electronic device and it’s from Sansminds so I’m a bit worried about whether it will work in 3 or 6 months. The on/off switch is quite small and several friends of mine told me they broke it. So it’s a bit fragile. You can’t really feel the button through the leather. THE PROS: It works as advertised, the heating coil is heating and trigger the wick which is full of zippo fluid. There is a small red glowing light, due to the heating coil, which is showing before the lightning of the wick but nothing weird. The heating coil is something you can plug in so you can switch it easily if it gets damaged. You get a 5 or 10 seconds delay before it lights up, which is, I think, enough to pull out some flash paper to ignite. Your hands are free and away from the zippo when it lights up which is a really nice feature, you have nothing hidden or a remote to carry around. Overall rating: It works as it should, it’s a bit pricey but the electronic does all the work for you. If you like what you see in the trailer, you won’t be disappointed with Light It Up, but it’s not my cup of tea, 3/4 hearts. As for the difficulty level, the hardest part is to feel whether or not you pushed on the button, but it’s something you can train to get the right amount of pressure, 2/5 stars. Similar products: I have nothing in my minds which looks like this, maybe a self igniting candle but that’s all.

Unfortunately the issue I keep encountering with mine is that it will not ignite consistently. Often times what will happen is the heating element will light up, but it will not ignite the wick. Any solutions to get it to ignite consistently?

I had to stick a needle in and lean the element over to the fuse more and be sure there was fresh fuel on the wick. I have the same timing issues. I usually go for the 10 second version because it’s easier for me to over press than underpress and mess up. Im thinking my index finger may hit the sweet spot more than my thumb.

Mine is counterintuitive in the sense that it works actually better if the fuse isn't too close to the wick. Shortly before performance I try it out a few times to make sure its set up properly and so far it hasnt let me down, as back up I carry a self build self lighting match under my lapel that I can pull
out just in case and lit the lighter with it. The leather around the hole I cut out and painted the inside black, to make the pressing surefire lol. The black art effect helps disguising it and its facing me anyways. |

Wow, this device is garbage. Bought two of these things thinking it would be epic and they are little as good as garbage. Opened first one, on/off switch breaks...I figure, ok maybe I’m just a Bull in a china store... open the second, set it up...NOTHING. Coil lights up and wick still doesn’t set on fire. I managed to swap parts between the two to have one functioning lighter, but jeez...that’s gotta be one of the worst magic purchases I’ve done in a long time...I mean, literally enraged me how a company could sell such a broken product...
Update: the piece that helps you pull out the electronic broke off I’m done with magic...seriously |

I just received the Brown lighter. The instruction video link shows a small hole next to the screw to fill with lighter fluid. My lighter only has cotton next to the screw. Does anyone know if the lighter fluid is suppose to saturate the cotton? Mine does not have a fill hole. Can anyone confirm?
