Is a lighter effective because it’s on fire? Or just because it’s hot?

If you made a lighter that was just as hot as another lighter, would it work just as well even if it had no fire?

    Yeah, fire is super handy for all sorts of things while I’m driving a car.

      Ah yes, why have the ability to do anything you don’t immediately need to do?! I am a smart person!

        We’re talking about lighters in cars, buddy.
