Linse Lighters solve the problem that many people have dealt with for so long, burning their fingers while using a lighter. The simple yet versatile patent pending technology inherent in Linse Lighters allows people to have a much safer and better experience when lighting a candle, water pipe, pipe, cigar, cigarette or any other practical use. The nozzle that directs the flame protracts to 0, 45 and 90 degrees, effectively directing the flame away from the user's thumb. The lighter's patent pending technology, matched with it's simple functionality exponentially reduces the risk of burning one's thumb.
