First of all I want to thank DISSIM sent out this lighter and a few other items for the channel to review. DISSIM originally raised over $330,000 on Kickstarter from over 7000 backers to help make this product a reality and If you want to pick one up you can pick one up using my Amazon affiliate link in the description below.

They also sent over a nice little water resistant zippered case for the lighter. It's a great way to protect the lighter and there’s also a small hang hole on the corner.

The Dissim lighter is 3.53 inches long and 1.8 inches wide and weighs just over 3 ounces making it ideal for everyday carry use.

These lighters ship empty so you’ll also need to pick up some butane before you use it. To fill it up, all you need to do is make sure it’s depressurized, set the dial to low, press it up against the butane container for 5 seconds and then wait a few minutes to let the gas settle and it’s ready to go. Once it’s all filled up, it’s really easy to use. All you have to do is hold the lighter at any angle you are comfortable with and click the button with your thumb. You can easily adjust the size of the flame by adjusting the large dial on the side. The dial gives you a lot of options from a tiny little flame all the way up to a huge powerful flame.

This is a quick comparison of some of the most commonly available lighters. On the button left we have a standard bic style lighter which gets hot quickly and the flame doesn’t have much range on it. To the right of that we have a France 98 World Cup zippo which lights easily but again the flame is not very powerful at least compared to the DISSIM lighter. On top we have a long bbq lighter which is pretty powerful and it has a decent reach but it’s really long and bulky compared to the rest of the lighters. Finally we have the dissim lighter and as you can see it’s the most powerful and has the greatest range in output and it’s also very compact compared to the bbq lighter.

So now we’re going to put this lighter to the test and see how well it lights up this stick of fatwood and then see if we can get a little fire going in my solo stove. For those of you that don’t know, fatwood is a resin soaked piece of wood that’s used to make fire starting easier. As you can see this piece of fatwood is catching really quickly and we're going to have a nice fire going in my solo stove in no time. For those of you that like backpacking and survival gear you should really check out the solo stove which is the compact wood gasifier stove that I’m using to build this fire. It’s great for boiling water and it runs on little bits of wood. You don’t need to carry around any fuel canisters and as long as there’s wood around you pretty much have an unlimited source of fuel. As expected the DISSIM lighter did a great job getting the fatwood started and was excellent for getting a small fire going on my patio.


The only downside I noticed when using this lighter is that sometimes it can take a few clicks to get it to light but i’ve had this problem with other lighters in the past as well. It’s also relatively large compared to a lot of lighters but the trade off is the ability to light bigger fires and store more fuel.

With regards to the pros, Having a nice large dial makes it easy to have precise control over the size of the flame and another thing I noticed is that the lighter doesn’t get too hot while in use like a normal bic lighter or zippo would. This lighter also produces a really powerful flame which makes fire starting really easy and it also feels great in the hand and has a great design. It’s nice to be able to light at any angle you are comfortable with.

Overall I was really impressed by this lighter and for now it’s going to rest in my get home bag. If you are looking for a high powered EDC lighter this is definitely one to consider.
