Metsit Yom Tov Dual-arc electric lighter with Yom Tov mode

Have a question before ordering? WhatsAppNo. It has two modes of use: its everyday mode lets you use it every day, like a classic lighter.
Neither. The lighter is electric: instead of a flame, it generates two electric arcs.
By USB. The charging cable is included.
Allow 3 to 4 hours. The lighter’s screen shows the battery level.
When the lighter is running on Yom Tov, you can set it in advance to pause the automatic ignitions during the night. Night mode is recommended for better battery management.
When the timer reaches zero, there are two cases. If the lid is open, the lighter triggers an ignition. If the lid is closed, it does not ignite and the timer starts a new cycle. So there is no risk of ignition when the lid is closed. As with any lighter, it remains important to keep it away from children.
