When I ran an arcade for a short time we had a major problem with a couple of kids using the insert from a piezo lighter. So who is going to be first to break their machine by zapping it with an unknown voltage or turning it on and off till it blows up?

Updated the post with some pics - this also worked on older games with mechanical mechs such as frogger as the high voltage confused the input circuitry of the PCB and gave credits - not always, but let's face it, those using the method had nothing to lose and credits to gain - so they were pretty persistent when word got out. If I use another lighters flame to try and keep the flame from immediately dying, it’ll stay on as long as the other flame stays touching. Most lighters have a black rubber ring around the bottom of the air inlet, marked with a + sign – sign on this ring. Fact: I was a teenage arcade recidivist and used this technique to good effect on stand up Space Invader cabs.Being one of the most prominent brands in the world lighter market, all Clipper Lighters offer the maximum level of guarantee. Many smokers love clippers due to the black pokey stick attacked to the flint and wheel, this is a super handy tool for smokers as they can curl roaches and poke down the herb inside the joint after rolling it to help compact it making it easier to light. As a preteen I would hang around at sporting events such as the cycling track at Devonport or the cricket and wait for people to finish their drinks and politely ask them if I could have their bottle, most said yes. Or sometimes I get a pair of tweezers and pull the sparker just a little so you can bend it back in front of the ignitor.

Since its launch Clipper has become the world leader and Number 1 consumer brand in refillable lighters.Also did they modify the lighters to expose the voltage and remove any safety shielding so they could apply the voltage directly to the mech?
