The lighter is an ignition device. The lighter includes a housing structure, a fuel system, and an ignition circuit. The housing contains the fuel system and the ignition circuit. The fuel system provides the ignition circuit with a supply of a hydrocarbon based fuel. The ignition system provides the fuel with a source of plasma that is used to initiate a combustion reaction that converts the fuel into a flame. The ignition system continuously provides the plasma to the fuel to ensure that the flame is continuously sustained.

The campfire starter includes a first compartment that is connected to a flexible conduit that extends there from. The flexible conduit includes an igniter nozzle on a distal end, which dispenses a flame there from, and which is adapted to ignite a campfire. The first compartment is adapted to be handled, and from which the flexible conduit extends in order to position the igniter nozzle immediately adjacent the campfire. The flexible conduit is of an undefined length, and is made of a flexible material that enables curves and bends to be formed and adjusted as needed.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing multi-point controls for a gas flame apparatus with a variable position gas flame trigger are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a novelty apparatus including: a frame, in which the frame is comprised of a top frame resting upon a bottom frame; an output nozzle anterior to the frame; a tactical stock posterior to the frame; a tank mount attached to the frame to receive a fuel source tank; a gas line to feed gas from the fuel source tank into a gas inlet of the novelty apparatus; a grip affixed to the frame; a flame output system housed within the frame, in which the flame output system includes at least (i) the gas inlet to receive the gas line, (ii) a variable control plunger, (iii) a 4-way connector, (iv) a gas outlet, (v) a gas hard-line, and (vi) a burner tube; a trigger housed in the frame connected to the variable control plunger, in which pressing on the trigger releases the plunger to feed gas into the gas inlet from the gas line; an ignition system, wherein the ignition system includes at least (i) an igniter button, (ii) an igniter, (iii) igniter coils, and (iv) an igniter wire; a pre-set multi-point control system for flame management having a primary valve, an idle control valve and an igniter, in which pre-settings on the primary valve restrict tank flow; in which adjusting the pre-settings on the multi-point control system maintains an idle flame having a size that does not extinguish when the trigger releases the plunger and a pre-set increment of tank flow is released, transiting the idle flow to reach the burner tube; a structural reinforcement mount internal to the frame to provide rigidity and receive the tactical stock; and in which manipulation of the multi-point control system in coordination with the flame output system and ignition system results in the emission and maintenance of a flame. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Systems and devices for igniting a gas to be flared include: a body having an inlet and an outlet, the body defining a channel extending between the inlet and the outlet; an igniter operable to generate a spark at the outlet of the body; an actuator disposed in the channel, the actuator configured to harvest energy when the gas to be flared flows from the inlet to the outlet through the channel and transfer the energy to the igniter.

Disclosed are devices and systems with an integrated lighter and smoking vessel, and methods of manufacture and/or use thereof. In some aspects, an integrated smoking device includes a lighter comprising a body, an igniter coupled to the body and operable to create an ignition event of a smokeable substance, and a first compartment coupled to the body to store an energy source to be provided to the igniter; a smoking vessel comprising a pipe having an interior chamber between a first aperture and a second aperture; and a second compartment coupled to the body of the lighter and configured to store and provide the smoking vessel.
