It's a catalytic lighter. Windproof. Pretty cool little things

That’s not a catalytic lighter. It uses a piezoelectric igniter to start the flame. A catalytic lighter uses platinum to ignite the flame by catalytic reaction you don’t have to strike or click anything.

Oh. All the ones I had had a spark to get the catalyst up to temp <shrug>

No need to get anything up to temp that’s the whole point of a catalytic lighter.
I presume you mean the sort of lighter where the mesh is heated? That’s not a catalytic lighter, it’s just a wind proof lighter.
