bensonhedges Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've seen a usb hotplate type thing that keeps a mug of coffee warm for ages so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. Have you tried http://www.iwantoneofthose.com (.co.uk?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 It's going to be a feature of the current sourcing ability of the USB port. I think the coffee cup warmer relies on the Peltier (heat pump) effect rather than a heated element. The temperature needed is lower as well. I'm not sure whether a USB port would actually supply enough current to heat an element to red heat to light a cigarette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurlymunky Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've seen loads of these internal one - http://www.clickonit.com/product.php?product=132069 but no USB. I think they will work on the 12V interal power. USB only carries low ampage 5V which I don't think will be powerfull enough for a lighter.

Why would you do that when you have a perfectly good USB ashtray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Forget lighters, you need this: http://www.directusbstore.com/cnb/shop/directusbstore?productID=543&op=catalogue-product_info-null&prodCategoryID=28 On a serious note, this is a pretty good store for USB products, despite the cr*p in the gadgets section!
