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.

A candle maintenance tool assembly for trimming and cutting a wick of a candle includes a lighter that has a handle and an elongated ignition tube extending away from the handle. The elongated ignition tube can be extended into a candle. The elongated ignition tube produces a flame when the lighter is actuated to ignite a wick of the candle. A cutting unit is movably integrated into the handle and the cutting unit is actuatable into a cutting condition to cut the wick of the candle to a desired length.

A fire kindling device and method having a wick and a coated fuel material strip. A user loosely rolls the coated fuel material strip into a spiraled cylindrical coil defining and creating a gap between radially spaced sections. The user places the spiraled cylindrical coil in an upright position, presses the wick into a centrally located apex point over the radius of the spiraled cylindrical coil and down the exterior side wall and then stacks combustible kindling material around the spiraled cylindrical coil. The wick is ignited, igniting the fire fuel causing the fire fuel to ignite the coated fuel material strip within the spiraled cylindrical coil, thereby causing a kindling fire. The sections are ignited nearly simultaneously, igniting the combustible kindling material. The fire fuel transforms into a combustible gas within the gap, augmenting combustion of the fire fuel, and increasing the temperature of the kindling fire.

A lighter comprises a container that is configured to hold a liquid fuel, a cap attachable to a top portion of the container, a fuel cap attachable to a bottom portion of the container, a first watertight seal formed by a first sealing element between the cap and the container, and a second watertight seal formed by a second sealing element between the fuel cap and the container.

A lighter includes a housing body extending from a forward flame generator to a rearward base along a longitudinal axis and a cover having a forward enclosure and a pair of flaps extending rearwardly from the enclosure. The pair of flaps are slidingly engaged with at least a portion of the housing body. The enclosure is configured to cover the flame generator and seal against the housing body when the cover is in a closed position. The flame generator includes a windscreen with a flame outlet that, when the lighter is in an operation orientation, is directed upwardly and in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
