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?

    If you google “electric lighter” you can see a wide variety of lighters that work by either making an arc of electricity or just getting really hot.
