Igniters, igniters with adjustable wicks, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are disclosed. The igniters may include a housing, at least one battery, an ignition assembly, and a wick. The ignition assembly may include a pivot-mechanism having a first pivoting-element, a second pivoting-element, and a pivot-hinge assembly through which the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element are rotatably coupled. The ignition assembly can be operated to pivot the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element in opposite directions. The ignition assembly may include electrical contacts that can be shifted into contact to complete a circuit, thereby sending an electrical current through an igniter tip used to ignite the wick. In additional aspects, the wick is a hemp wick, and the housing may be formed of biodegradable or recyclable materials.

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.

A rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking pipe including a replaceable nichrome wire within an indentation on an inner perimeter of a bowl of the pipe body, a fuel reservoir directly below and adjacent the interior cavity of the bowl, an ignition switch on a stem of a pipe body to selectively activate one of the nichrome wire and an amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir to combust an ignitable smoking substance, such as tobacco, contained within the bowl, and a filter disposed between the stem and the bowl. The present device permits one-handed ignition to combust the smoking substance. The rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking pipe also includes a micro USB outlet and wireless charging receptacles to permit the pipe to recharge without the hassle of changing batteries.
