So it's just crazy that it's electric. Makes complete sense. So the only cons I see are it gets hot fast (which careful so it don't blow up) & it does let off a very slight smell. It cones with an usb cord, well packaged, & mine was basically fully charged when we got it. It has a safety slip cover over the small power button to make it work. Great little gadget that covers in handy. I couldn't light my candle because my BIC ran out & this came to the rescue.
