Exotac TitanLIGHT First Impressions

ExoTac sent in this lighter, as well as a few other goodies so that we could get our hands on them and put them to the test. This lighter is built in an incredibly durable aluminum case with a QuickTHREAD Cap that doubles as the waterproofing top and snuff cap. It is tough but light. Everything unscrews easily, and it’s got nice texturing on the re-filling cap on the bottom. Build quality is top notch with no sharp edges and everything seats together perfectly!

Exotac TitanLIGHT Field Test Results

I’ve left lighter fluid in this for about 3 months now, and it still lights up every time I try it. If you’ve ever used a zippo, then you know the crushing disappointment of realizing your lighter fluid has evaporated. I may have filled this thing up a little bit too much… They recommend about 3ml but I think I put about 10ml into it. It leaked a lot of fluid the first few weeks due to that, but it settled down eventually and doesn’t coat my hand in fluid anymore. Purely user error, if you ACTUALLY follow the instructions you won’t have issues!

One thing that does bother me is how hot the all-metal TitanLIGHT gets with extended use. The lighter gets hot pretty quick and becomes uncomfortable to hold within 30-seconds. I wore gloves to circumvent this, but I felt it was worth noting. The flame guard does what it intended to do when the Exotac lighter is lit. The lighter is very difficult to blow it out. I’m very impressed. It’s easy to take apart and service both the Flint for replacement and the Wick for adjusting/extending.

Final Thoughts on the Exotac TitanLight Lighter

Overall, the quality and function of the TitanLIGHT are phenomenal.

The Exotac TitanLIGHT is a clear upgrade to the standard Zippo Lighter, with the only thing better perhaps being the Butane Insert for the Zippo.
