How To Make a DIY Laser Lighter

So, you think that smoking isn’t bad enough for your health and want to increase the risk? Then you’ll want to follow the instructions and make yourself this DIY laser lighter. Experts warn that smoking doubles the chance of going blind in old age. Adding this lighter will get you there way faster!

I wish I had one during my bar hopping days. I don’t smoke but I always carried a lighter with me because girls who do smoke are always asking for a light. The laser lighter would have made a great conversation starter. That, or it would have burnt their eye lids off.

The lighter is the work of Kipkay Videos. He’s the guy who teaches you how to DIY a bunch of strange stuff, like how to make a lie detector or how to chill a beer in two minutes. However, this laser lighter has to be his most dangerous DIY yet.

If you want something a lot more safe but a little less fun, check out Kipkay’s video on how to hack that stupid Staples Easy button.

I found easy button too technical. Plus, lots of concentration required to do this job done. Anyways, nice post for some risk taking people.

That is risky but still funny.

Only in America.... genuis!

Funny and amazing video.The guy must become a great inventor.

I thought hacking the Staples button was pretty cool.

The Easy Button is cool but way too technical for me. Plus, my cat, not so handy around the house.

That laser burner is unreal.

I have one of those Staples buttons, but don't have the patience or time to make what that guy did.

Awesome videos. Almost made me want to take up smoking just so I could show off my super cool laser lighter. I decided in the end to live healthier and just use the laser lighter for evil.

This guy is crazy. He has some cool ideas though. Love the way how he did the laser, complicated but fun.

Smoking makes you go blind? I didn't know that.

I haven't heard of Kipkay so I was impressed with the videos.

wow - McGuyver is Right - I gotta make me one of those laser lighters! I wonder what's the battery life on those.

Classical McGuyver style ;-) What a pity that I have "two left hand" for mechanics, we could do with a button like that and then teach the cat to press it, rofl, SY

Suitable videos for fun to have a break during the work.ANd no more.

awsome video. it's fun to watch some kind of this video .

WoW - Looks like something Mcgyver would make. awsome!

I like his videos. Thanks for sharing John!

Lol interesting thing and funny.

LOL... kind of interesting, but those who smoke sure get burn if aim the wrong direction HAHAHA

Some really cool videos there, but I wouldn't want to use the lighter on anyone. That will burn a hole into anything. Greg Ellison

This guy knows how to change A into B and B into C ... lollzz

I won't give him my any new brand electronic things, because he will make use of them just opposite to what they have made for.

Kip always has some cool hacks but that laser lighter is really a little extreme.

Is it too much to ask for some frickin sharks with frickin lasers on their heads?

I second that request!!!

Loved your intro on the post, but man - that is one solid diy video. One of the best DIY vids I've seen in a while, but that's gotta be dangerous that lighter.. there's no way I'd be using that kind of lighter to light a cig and I hope not too many try it either. Oh, and I'm happy he didn't test it on that cute cat!

A DIY laser light and pimped-out Easy button...haha, classic. Swapping out Easy buttons with a surprising new message has great potential for a practical joke. Too bad I'm about as handy as an 11-year old girl...otherwise I might give this a shot.

Hey, I know Kipkay back when we were producing videos for metacafe! That was when the producer reward program was still ongoing. Glad to see you writting about him John. He's a great person and his videos are awesome!

Just curious, is this a sponsored review?

Man..his videos are getting wicked!

No, this is not a sponsored review. I came across his videos and really like to so wanted to share.
