Electronic lighting systems comprising various internal housing assemblies that provide an air channel for air and scented air are contemplated. In some embodiments, an electronic lighting system comprises a housing disposed within the outer cover that supports a flame element. The flame element is allowed to move on the housing to create a realistic candle light effect. Additionally, a scent cartridge can be inserted into the electronic lighting device to create scented air that moves through an air channel in the electronic lighting device. The scented air is distributed by the electronic lighting device to create an enhanced user experience.

A lighter includes (a) a lighter body for storing fuel; (b) a lighter head extending upwardly from the lighter body to an outlet of the head for directing flow of the fuel toward the outlet; (c) an integrated ignition system for selectively releasing and igniting the fuel to produce a flame projecting along a flame path from the outlet; and (d) a replaceable flame-coloring insert including an insert body removably mounted to the lighter head adjacent the outlet. The insert body treated with a flame colorant positioned in the flame path for coloring the flame when heated.

A scented lighter cover includes an elongated, hollow main body having a capped bottom end, a middle portion, a hollow interior space and a top opening that are shaped to cover various commercially available lighters. The cover also includes a generally hollow cap member having a shape and size that is suitable for covering the flame producing portion of the lighter that is positioned within the main body. Each of the main body and the cap are constructed from fire resistant rubber, and are scented. A flame resistant metallic layer can be disposed along the entirety of the inside portion of one or both of the cap and the main body members.
