Thanks

So there's no effect on efficiency at all? I seem to get a horrible taste when I use gas lighters. >_>

ya ive used gas lighters and it does taste bad, but torch lighters are great for smoking resin... BICs all the way though...

There is no reason to get anything other than a good old BIC lighter.

Just dont use a zippo for weed - the petrol will ruin the taste.

Hey I like the white bics!

seriously. i love all my superstitious friends who wont use white lighters. i explained to one of them that the wrapped ones with silly designs are all white underneath, and that it is probably the reason for their bad luck and they just give me their lighters.

bics douse the weed in chemicals, thus the 2nd and 3rd hits taste gross. jet lighters burn cleaner and hotter but also leave some chemicals on the herb. ideally you want to take a magnifying glass to your bowl and burn it with that; that way you get all the taste and no harmful bi-products. Plus the magnifying glass sometimes vapes the weed if you move it around in the right manner.

I don't have that kind of time...nor position of the sun where cars wouldn't be whizzing past me while I'm trying to spark a bowl with a magnifying glass.

Plus I'd probably end up burning myself.

I used to like using a standard black BIC, but now I use crickets. They're far more reliable to me, and the flame doesnt' blow out as easily.

My mate always used to use a zippo, I never liked the taste myself. I normally use a clipper. I've often wondered what gas is best for your lungs though.

just make sure you dont get a childproof one.. some of those things you have to flip a switch, push a button, flip it around and say the magic word and it still wont work. you might get it to work the first time, but after u get hi your just gonna end up looking at the lighter wishing u would have got a regular one.

Bic lighters all the way. You can use torch lighters, but you don't use it the same way you do a bic, you have to tap the bowl and hit it. Otherwise you're just torching your bud.

Im confused, where is all the love for clippers? I thought they were stoner lighters? Not only are they cheap reliable and refillable, but you get the added bonus of the removable flint holder thingy (I just call it a pokey) which comes in handy for tidying up roaches.

Tastes wise, if Im in the caring enough mindset, I will normaly use a match, obviously wait till the sulphury bit is burnt and its the wood thats going, but most of the time Im too high to care :D

I've got Zippos, but i'd never concicder using it for weed. I've just got em for show [what they're made for - to look cool lighting a cig]

Not sure but i assumed the gas that didnt burn instantly evapourated instantly. I know for a fact there was a large thread about weather or not you inhale gas when using [any] lighter.

There is no reason to use any other lighter than a bic. If you're using anything else, stop.

Really.

You're just going to end up wasting either herb, fluid, or end up needlessly polluting your taste buds with the disgusting taste of fluid. Buy a bic, ditch the safety, and smoke up! :rastasmoke:
