Except now it's not flat and you've got that lever arm on the side either digging into your leg or protruding through your pocket like a weird lump. They spent so much time critiquing the operation of the old designs they completely overlooked a key feature- they laid flat in the pocket.

I don't like how small the flame is. It's actually upsetting how small the flame is

this whole company is overpriced hipster bullshit. at first glance it might seem clever and well thought out but if you spend any time thinking about it and listening to them it’s actually very poorly thought out and unoriginal and juvenile.

The classic Bic is perfect. Don’t fuck with it.

You designed nothing. You stole a video from @craighillco to pass off as your own for ad revenue. Would be great if @nikitabier permanently demonetized your account.

The demo lighter reminds me of the Little Tikes cars…but I don’t think kids should be playing with lighters. 😂

It looks like a fisher price toy, a lighter for babies

Are these the hipsters who sold $200 toddler scissors

Won't the orange ball on the striker arm get hot from being too close to the flame? A simple Angle change would fix that.

The classic Bic is ideal already. Actually, the one from the early 80s was ideal. Just difficult enough to dissuade small children from igniting it. And I don’t remember any women crying about the striker wheel abusing their thumbs.

$78? I'm good. 😂

I'm sorry, I don't normally return a day later to reply again, but I can't stop thinking about such a pathetic flame. It's a distressingly small flame. America deserves better than this limp ass flame. Get your shit together

This is a cool project. I feel somehow concealing the lever arm in the main body and being easily be able to access it would be cool also. That would make the device more sleek and appealing.

@FilmSchoolGuru Why can't the crypto bros with all their money and big brains do anything close to useful like this?

Colibri Kickstart is this exact thing. Don’t support uncreativity

Does the handle not get super hot?

Really. Bic is king. Stupid

Missing child safety mechanisms

What is this lighter called?

$80 for a simple lighter? They must be using it to smoke crack

Make the lever drop further down before coming out towards the flame keep the ball at the end further away from the flame last longer no risk getting hot

Hi! This is @Craighilldesign. So you know this everyday object that is reliable, time tested, easy to manufacture, doesn't break, available everywhere on Earth for $0.20? Yeah, well it has a minor tradeoff. We decided to try a radical new approach and fix that. The result? We fixed the flaw in a really quirky and fun way. Our product has 10 major drawbacks, but not the one which we fixed. You can get it for a very reasonable $200, available nowhere. We're geniuses of design.

it also connects to the internet

All that for me to never buy your stupid fucking lighter.

@grok who makes this lighter?

You are Indian.

Hey look, we took this round thing and made it turn. We’re thinking of calling it a ‘wheel’

Iphone size, no thanks 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Looks like a fun way to catch the inside of your pocket on fire

I want to buy the prop

Bic lighters are the greatest lighters ever created. Everything else is gay.

Have it load bics

Fuck that

where do i buy
