Other sources to use to light your bowl. What can i use? NO more lighters!

I want another way to light my bowls. No more lighters. Do anyone know any electric plug-in device I can use to light me bowls? Like a heatgun, but I dont want to use a heatgun. I want to find product that is like a heating tip? Hopefully I can find something cheap. Any suggestions?
I tired: Magnified glass, wands, heatgun, ect... I want something like a wand but it is an electric powered plug-in.

i use matches when desperate sometimes, you can get a way bigger hit off them and smooth. i use hemp wick with honey rubbed into it, it burns slow and sweet. compliments the weed very well and whats better than burning marijuana with marijuana?

Welll ...

With a lighter that still has its flint, clean flathead tooth picks, and a cotton ball. You can get a pretty clean smoke. The flint on lighters work longer than the fluid inside, might as well still use it, plus i ideally like to use flathead tooth picks to light a bowl. I think its easier to control the flame to the herb and is cleaner than using a ligher.

Lightly rap a bit of cotton on a dry natural flathead like one would cotton candy, I guess, leaving a bit of a tail at the end. Spark the tail with the lighter, the sparks will light the cotton, which will light the tooth pick. usually works on the first try; I saw this on a surival show.
 
Have you heard of the hakko? Sounds like what you want. Its a soldering iron with a ceramic tip that's very popular for smoking herb.

An old fashioned car lighter would do but, you'd need an old fashioned car lighter heater upper thingie to go with it. That or pack an Edsel with you everywhere you go.

on a sunny day you can use a magnifying glass i have several friends who do that it works with out a hassle the wind does not blow it out and it is eco friendly no matches for that crappy sulfur taste no butane only the sun works like a charm but watch you don't burn your hand after a few bowls:moon:
 
I've seen pipes by one raging hippie at a local shop that had magnifying glasses above the bowl that could swivel around to be above the stem. The blower hated using lighter fluid I guess, so he made them.

I've seen the herb iron online before, never heard of anyone who used it. ceramic tipped soldering iron

Go digging around your house or a store for a nice glass magnifying glass on a sunny day with little cloud coverage. You can probably find one from $5 to $15.

Solar hits are my favorite way to light a bong bowl. It could work for a pipe too. I'd suggest you wear some sun glasses while looking at the focused beam on the bowl.

The hits are smooth and tasty, and it doesn't get as hot as a flame, which often doesn't create much of a burning cherry in the bowl unless you want to create one.

Obviously this works during sunny days the best. For example, I am able to do this in the midst of winter when it's cold as fuck, but with cloud-free skies and plenty of sun.
