Apogee Cigarette Lighter won't light my Cigarette

Apogee Cigarette Lighter won't light my Cigarette
First off- I apologize ahead of time for all of the technical jargon that I am going to use in this review.Ok- so I dig this thing. I had an irig that was so noisy that I couldn't stand it- especially when I was trying to lay down a lead track. Oi! Finally I broke down and bought the Apogee Cigarette Lighter. This thing has none of that annoying noise- everything sounds good. The thing on the side that I turn to plus or minus adds extra oomph if I need it- sometimes I forget to adjust it but whatever. The Lighter isn't very heavy. It won't stay on my desk once I plug my guitar into it. The damn guitar chord just pulls it off my desk! I work around that by letting the ACL stay on the floor- under my shoe if that's where my foot happens to be.One important tip- I don't think it's waterproof- so I wouldn't advise using it in a rainstorm or when recording in the bathtub.I recommend the Apogee Cigarette Lighter to anyone who has the technical know-how to get this complex piece of recording hardware to work.I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have a very strong flame.
