Lightsabers are cool, but you can't use them unless your body is swelling with Midi-chlorians... UNTIL NOW. Hacksmith's new mini-saber gen 2 gives you a traditional saber feel, but with fire instead of kyber crystals. Will Linus replace the Gen 1 saber he's been using daily? Will his feelings ever recover after reading the included note? The answer is probably yes for both.

Their version has a better QC though. I bought one off them and 2 off AliExpress and both from Ali have visible damage on the nozzle (chips etc.). They still work fine, but you can clearly see why they are so cheap. I think Hacksmith probably had to pay a bit more to the manufacturer with the amount of lighters they rejected (of course still nowhere near what they charge for it).

You probably won't get copyright strikes from any ice cream truck. A few years ago, the RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan worked with an ice cream company to replace the problematic "Turkey In The Straw" to an new song he made free to the public. Most trucks, even the independent ones, have since switched.

I bought the way to expensive refills the manufacturer recommended, but once the initial fill they came with was gone neither, one work correctly again. Getting them to light too several tries, they wouldn't stay lit for more a couple seconds and would spit still liquid butane. I hope for customers these don't do the same thing.
