Tyson 2.0 Cricket Lighter
The Tyson 2.0 Cricket Lighter is a butane flint lighter branded under Mike Tyson's official smoking accessories line. It uses Cricket's fixed-flame technology housed in self-extinguishing nylon — the same build that's kept Cricket lighters on shelves since 1961. Compact, reliable, and stamped with Tyson 2.0 branding, it's the kind of lighter you actually keep track of instead of losing in a coat pocket.

Complete your smoking setup with a proper ashtray or rolling tray from the Tyson 2.0 range. If you're after something refillable for the long haul, have a look at our clipper lighters or torch lighters — they pair well with just about any bowl or vaporiser that needs a flame.
Why You Want a Tyson 2.0 Cricket Lighter
We've all got a drawer full of cheap lighters that stopped sparking after a week. The Cricket is a different animal. Cricket has been manufacturing lighters since 1961 — over 60 years of production — and their fixed-flame mechanism is one of the reasons they've stuck around. The flame height stays consistent from first light to last, so you're not adjusting a wobbly wheel or getting singed by a random flare-up. The self-extinguishing nylon body means the casing won't keep burning if exposed to an external flame, which is a genuine safety feature rather than marketing fluff.
Then there's the Tyson 2.0 branding. Mike Tyson's smoking accessories line has grown quickly since launch, and the designs on these lighters are bold — you'll spot it across a room. It's a disposable lighter, yes, but it feels more considered than the generic translucent ones you grab at a petrol station. The weight sits nicely in your hand, the flint wheel has a satisfying resistance, and the child-resistant mechanism actually works without requiring a thumb workout every time you want a flame.
One honest note: this is a disposable lighter, not a refillable one. Once the butane runs out, it's done. If you burn through lighters quickly, a refillable Clipper or a torch lighter will save you money over time. But as a pocket lighter that looks good and works reliably until the gas is gone, the Tyson 2.0 Cricket does its job well. We'd pick it over a no-name lighter every single time.
How to Use Your Cricket Lighter
- Hold the lighter upright in your dominant hand with your thumb resting on the flint wheel.
- Roll the flint wheel firmly downward with your thumb while pressing the gas release lever in one smooth motion. The child-resistant mechanism requires a deliberate press — a light tap won't cut it.
- The fixed flame will ignite at a consistent height. No need to adjust anything.
- Release the gas lever to extinguish the flame. The self-extinguishing nylon body means the lighter stops producing flame immediately once you let go.
- Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Temperatures above 50°C can cause pressure build-up in any butane lighter.
- Keep out of reach of children — the child-resistant mechanism is a safety feature, not a guarantee.
From Our Counter
We've stocked Cricket lighters in the shop for years, and the one thing customers always mention is how long they last compared to the generic alternatives. The fixed-flame design means you're not wasting gas on an oversized flame every time you spark up, so the butane stretches further than you'd expect from a disposable. We've seen customers get 3-4 weeks of regular use out of a single Cricket — not bad for something that fits in your coin pocket.
The Tyson 2.0 edition specifically tends to walk off less. People actually care about keeping it. That sounds trivial, but if you've ever bought a 5-pack of lighters and watched them vanish into the sofa cushions within a fortnight, you'll appreciate a lighter that earns a spot in your pocket rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Cricket lighters safe?
Yes. Cricket lighters are built with a child-resistant mechanism and use self-extinguishing nylon for the body, meaning the casing won't sustain a flame if exposed to external heat. They undergo rigorous safety testing and comply with ISO 9994 lighter safety standards. Store them below 50°C and away from children.
How long does a Cricket lighter last?
With regular daily use — lighting a few bowls or cigarettes — a Cricket lighter typically lasts 3-4 weeks. The fixed-flame technology prevents gas waste from oversized flames, so the butane goes further than most disposable lighters of the same size.
Can I refill the Tyson 2.0 Cricket Lighter?
No. This is a disposable Cricket lighter. Once the butane is spent, it's done. If you want a refillable option, look at Clipper lighters or butane torch lighters — both take standard lighter refill gas and last indefinitely with proper maintenance.
What is Tyson 2.0?
Tyson 2.0 is Mike Tyson's official brand covering smoking accessories and related products. The range includes lighters, rolling papers, and other gear. The Cricket lighter collaboration pairs Tyson's branding with Cricket's 60+ year track record in lighter manufacturing.
What makes a Cricket lighter different from a standard disposable lighter?
Two things: the fixed-flame mechanism keeps the flame height consistent throughout the lighter's life, and the self-extinguishing nylon body adds a genuine safety margin. Most cheap disposables use adjustable flames that drift over time and standard plastic housings. Cricket has been refining this design since 1961.
Is the Tyson 2.0 Cricket Lighter windproof?
No. Cricket lighters produce a standard soft flame, not a jet or torch flame. In heavy wind, you'll struggle — same as any flint lighter. For outdoor use in windy conditions, a torch lighter is the better call.
