Atomic lighters, from pocket model to pen torch
Of all the brands we carry, Atomic has the widest spread: from a small pocket model that disappears into a trouser pocket to a slim pen torch that reaches further. One to four jet flames, depending on the model.
That makes the brand hard to sum up in one sentence. Choosing within Atomic is therefore mostly about size, the number of flames and how solidly the body is built.
Which Atomic suits your use?
Choosing within this brand is mostly about size and the number of flames. A small model with one flame fits in a pocket and is enough for a candle or a cigarette. A model with three or four flames puts more heat on a larger area, which is what you need for coals or kindling.
The price range is wide as well. The cheapest model costs a fraction of the dearest, and the difference is mostly in the number of flames, the tank size and how solidly the body is built.
Pocket model or pen torch
The smallest models are a couple of centimetres and disappear into a trouser pocket. The Pen Torch is slim and longer, so you reach further without holding your hand over the flame.
One, two, three or four flames
Every version is in the range. One flame is economical and precise, three or four are faster over a larger area and use correspondingly more gas per second.
What you see back in the price
The cheapest model costs a fraction of the dearest. That difference is in the number of flames, the size of the gas tank and how heavy the body is. A small pocket model is not built worse, it does less.
Refill with butane gas at 45 PSI and wait a minute after filling. At lower pressure or with less pure gas the flame starts to sputter and the valve clogs up.
Buying an Atomic lighter at PyroProducts
This category holds the Atomic models we carry, from small pocket size to pen torch, with one to four jet flames and refillable with butane gas.
If you are looking for the gas to refill them, that is all together under lighter gas. If the flame mainly has to stay lit outdoors, have a look at the storm lighters.
When comparing, look at the number of flames, the size and the tank capacity. If a filled lighter still refuses to work, the cause is usually in lighter not working any more.
If you are unsure about the number of flames, look at what you light most often. For a candle or a cigarette one flame is enough and more economical. For coals or kindling three or four are noticeably faster, at the cost of more gas per second.
Frequently asked questions
What do you refill an Atomic lighter with?
With butane gas at 45 PSI. Hold the lighter upside down, fill calmly until gas escapes and then wait a minute before you light it. You can find the gas at lighter gas.
Are Atomic lighters refillable?
The lighters in this category are refilled through the valve at the bottom. Check the product information per model, because it is always stated there.
How many flames does an Atomic lighter have?
That differs per model: there are versions with one, two, three and four jet flames. More flames work faster on coals or wood and use more gas per second.
Which Atomic fits in a trouser pocket?
The smallest models are only a couple of centimetres high. Check the dimensions in the product information; they are stated with every model.
Why do the Atomic models differ so much in price?
The difference is in the number of flames, the size of the gas tank and how solidly the body is built. A simple model is not built worse, it does less and lasts less long on one filling.
Does an Atomic lighter stay lit in the wind?
The models with a jet flame do. They mix the gas in the burner itself and do not need still air around them.
