Prometheus jet turbo lighters are electronic piezo lighters equipped with Burner Cylinder, an internal gas combustion system. There are four types of Prometheus jet turbo lighters: Single, Dual, Circular and Laser. They all have the same basic internal system shown below.
The butane gas inside of the gas tank of Prometheus jet turbo lighter is released as the ignition button is pressed down. Inside of the burner cylinder, a metal chip with a very small hole located in its center is installed. When the released butane gas comes up through this small hole of the metal chip, the gas is discharged with high pressure. When the rapidly discharged butane gas comes in contact with the electronic spark generated by the electronic piezo, the flame is generated. This results in a high temperature, blue flame. Prometheus jet turbo lighter is recommended for lighting cigars and cigarettes, but not for pipe. Due to the high temperature of the flame, you could burn the briar of pipe.
In case of the Single, Dual and Circular Jet Turbo lighters, a catalyzer coil, which is made out of white gold, is installed on top of the internal burner cylinder. This catalyzer coil heats up quickly and retains the heat from the flame for a long time. Even though the wind blows out the flame, the flame will be re-ignited as the butane gas coming up from the gas tank comes in contact with the heated catalyzer coil. As a result, Prometheus single, dual and circular jet turbo lighters are windproof -- ideal for lighting cigar and cigarette outdoors. Prometheus laser flame lighter does not have a catalyzer coil and consequently, is not windproof but wind-resistant.
several surrounding the center. Consequently, the butane gas reaches the ignition point with tremendous pressure. The flame temperature and pressure of the Laser Flame Jet Turbo lighter are the highest among the four types of the Jet Turbo lighter and ideal for lighting cigars.
flame in order to prevent the ashes from falling into the flame hole of your lighter and clogging it up. In lighting your cigar or cigarette, please put them one inch away from the flame hole. In case of cigar, slowly rotate the lighter around the cigar end and in no time, you will be able to light your favorite cigar. The best way is to light the cigar with the heat from the flame but not with the flame itself so that you will not scorch the cigar wrapper.
