Too many to count, you'll get bored of the cannon before the piezo stops working.

depends on what kind your get, i usually get charbroil parts and they last me a long time, probably thousands of clicks. just really depends. I've been using the electric ones now.
Yea, that's definitely going to get you at least a tazer.

I bought a $40 torch head that uses piezoelectric sparks to start the flame... so it better last me many thousands of clicks, because a nice torch head shouldn't be spoiled by a crappy piezoelectric lighter.
