Product Information

Doesn’t add that butane taste– For everyone who smokes out there, I have often heard that a butane lighter will alter the taste of a cigarette. Since plasma is effectively electrical energy, there is no way it could alter any taste. Cons Video from a phone camera circulated on social media showed some of the scene, in which the man came face to face with police, and then after the Taser is fired at him, jumping into water below the bridge.

The problem is that the lighter uses two ’prongs’ much like a stun gun and the suspect was charged with having a disguised weapon under the Firearms Act. But is the plasma lighter capable of being a stun gun? In this case, our Firearms expert, Alan Henderson, said not. His main arguments were two-fold around the construction of the device and how the plasma discharge was designed to occur. Additionally, the lighter top, it was argued, acted as a safety barrier to the plasma discharge. The Court accepted this was not a stun gun and the case was dropped. The rechargeable batteries are already installed. Please do not attempt to open the unit, as this will not work.In 2018, a rookie Kansas police officer mistakenly shot a man who was fighting with a fellow officer. In 2019, a police officer in Pennsylvania shouted “Taser!” before shooting an unarmed man in the torso. And in 2015, a former Oklahoma reserve deputy killed an unarmed man when he mistook his handgun for a stun gun. Might there be other applications for this beyond pyrography? Maybe soldering or desoldering? Of non-ESD sensitive components, naturally.

On 5 June a Met press statement, issued after the man had died, said: “Police were called at 09:03hrs on Saturday, 4 June to a report of a disturbance in Chelsea Bridge Road, SW1. It was reported that a man was armed with a screwdriver and shouting at the location.” Ramsey said bodycam footage shows there was no need for the use of deadly force. And while fatal mix-ups involving Tasers and guns are very rare, even one is too many. The best thing you can do is to clean the electrodes. Often corrosion will oxidize the electrodes and prevent a spark.

There have been other instances of a police officer intending to deploy a Taser and discharging a firearm instead, though such errors are not common. A Taser is a bright yellow, hand-held, electronic device. It's only used by highly trained officers and in situations where they need to deal with violent people at a distance.

UK law specifies that possession of a non-lethal taser is a criminal offence and, should the taser be disguised as another object such as a torch, the offence carries a minimum term of imprisonment of 5 years. Reuse and Reduce– One of the bigger advantages that come to mind is that a plasma lighter is rechargeable. This reduces the amount of plastic waste and butane consumption by a significant amount.

In 2009, Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer Johannes Mehserle fired his gun instead of his Taser, killing 22-year-old Oscar Grant in Oakland, California. Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, but was released early due to good conduct. While they are not illegal to have in the United States of America you will have to leave them behind as they are not allowed on planes.
