Forum Novelties 63503 Amazing Gag Shock Lighter

After reading the critical reviews about it looking fake and feeling flimsy, I bought it anyway because it was low priced and shipped free; gotta love Amazon Prime. That first time, holding it after removing it from the packaging, placing thumb to striker, slowly pressing down... ZZZING!!! Must have tossed it five feet!! As for looking fake? To me it appears just another cheap disposable lighter trying to look fancy and failing. Perfect! As for being flimsy, well, maybe repeatedly dropping it on hardwood or marble floors wont be very good for it, duh.

Dont waste your money! The packaging clearing dramatizes the results. There is no shock, I fealt a tiny bit of tingling, barely enough to notice. Why does amazon let these sellers get away with selling completely worthless products, the bad reviews have to out weight the good ones so the only explaination can be greed! The seller, the manufacture and amazon should be ashamed of themselves but screwing over the buyer is easier and cheaper than providing quality products!

Great gag gift

This product didn't work at first. We opened it to try replacing the batteries which were advertised as either AA or AAA, but were actually button cell batteries which I did not have on hand...so we tried reversing the batteries and it worked. It also was not so easy to open. But once we got it working it is a fun cheap gag item.

I know there are some negative reviews on this product, but I decided to take a chance. The lighter is plastic and has a chrome "paint job" making it shiny and does pass for a lighter. Yes, it works and I've been lucky that the victims haven't dropped it or thrown it at me as I don't think it could handle the abuse. A few times I hade to monkey with the bottom of the lighter so it would make a ground, but no big deal. So, for me, I have gotten my money out of this already with 5 uses.

Order this lighter just to have some fun with, it was fun for about 1/2 an hour. After the 6th person I tried to shock it did not work anymore. I don't know if something inside of it is broken because I can not take it apart to fix it, but I wish it lasted a little longer cause it was getting lots of laughs.

Product lasted a good amount of time and still works. It felt hallow in the hand as if there is nothing or hardly anything the inside of it. Its hard plastic but not heavy. No heavy material in the inside so it's lightweight. I took it apart and put it back together which is how I know. (vouch for it) Some people won't be fool. It only make sense if someone need a quick light and you were to hand this to the person on impulse. They would most likely press down the the trigger on impulse. A bit difficult to just hand to someone and they don't smoke- "here, press this lighter... It has a big FLAME!" :-/" Anyways- I don't live by many smokers but I used it on one of them and he was pissed. I think he would of rode me over with his bike if he had a chance. Told em is a start to stop smoking. Shock some sense into you. He said he was using a patch and the gum so it's a start. (sparks a conversation to stop smoking, if the person doesn't hate you for doing it; groups of friend with the same motive as you is a must at times.)

WORST GAG SHOCK LIGHTER IN EXISTENCE. MY BF DIDNT EVEN NOTICE HE WAS BEING SHOCKED.

Worked great as a gag gift. Had a little more zip to it compared to the pens.

J'ai reçu le produit relativement rapidement mais le chrome est abimé, écaillé et bosselé et les batteries à l'intérieur ont coulé. Je vais retourner le produit.
