It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s reliable. If you I want to make a lighter as cheap as possible and still work, that’s the way. The “click” ones involve a piezoelectric switch which is still very simple and cheap, but not so much as a piece of mischmetal and a wheel.

i bought two zigzags electric lighters for £1.50 today, the flint and wheel was £1 for 1?

i honestly dont know about the cost to make them but i find the electric ones much better to use

£1 for one isn't bottom of the barrel. Used to be you get 6 ultra cheap flint ones for the same price as 4 ultra cheap small ones, used to work in PoundWorld.

It's been a few years mind, but pound shops and home bargains usually have packs of 3 electrics for a quid.
