Abstract
Igniters, igniters with adjustable wicks, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are disclosed. The igniters may include a housing, at least one battery, an ignition assembly, and a wick. The ignition assembly may include a pivot-mechanism having a first pivoting-element, a second pivoting-element, and a pivot-hinge assembly through which the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element are rotatably coupled. The ignition assembly can be operated to pivot the first pivoting-element and the second pivoting-element in opposite directions. The ignition assembly may include electrical contacts that can be shifted into contact to complete a circuit, thereby sending an electrical current through an igniter tip used to ignite the wick. In additional aspects, the wick is a hemp wick, and the housing may be formed of biodegradable or recyclable materials.
