My life has no end of candles, lanterns, and fires to light, that&#8217;s why.  I had one of Brunton&#8217;s &#8220;Stormproof&#8221; Helios lighters until it turned out to be worthless at altitude on a mountain, where making a fire might be important.  Besides, the Helios opens so wide you can&#8217;t reach it down into votive lights or fat candles or into the thick of kindling.<\/p>\n<p>Solution: the Colibri Quantum Xtreme CX lighter.  It&#8217;s nice and narrow&#8212;fits anywhere.  Its &#8220;Electro-Flame&#8221; ignition has proved fully reliable.  And you can dial in the altitude you want it to light at; it changes the fuel\/air mix to suit, good up to 15,000 feet.  No other lighter does this.<\/p>\n<p>It lists at $100.  The lowest price I found was at eLighters, $80&#8212;available in black, white, pearl, and blue.  REI has a gaudy orange model with what looks like a clear fuel container and maybe lighter weight, but full price: $100.  The weight of my black one is 1.85 ounces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-conditions flame-maker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"0","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[86,235],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
