No Lighter

[4twentE]

So I have just a few roaches, enough to pack in a bowl but not enough to justify tearing them open and rerolling them into another J. So I pack a bowl and the lighter is dead. What now? Anybody got any lighterless techniques for smoking?

Oven-lit candle.

yeah anything using your stove..

Matches....

Got a drill?


Hand Drill
Using a hand drill is one of the simplest friction methods, but high speed can be difficult to maintain because only the hands are used to rotate the spindle. It works best in dry climates.
Step One Cut a V-shaped notch in the fireboard, then start a small depression adjacent to it with a rock or knife tip. Set a piece of bark underneath the notch to catch the ember.
Step Two Place the spindle, which should be 2 feet long, in the depression and, maintaining pressure, roll it between the palms of your hands, running them quickly down the spindle in a burst of speed. Repeat until the spindle tip glows red and an ember is formed.
Step Three Tap the fireboard to deposit the ember onto the bark, then transfer it to a tinder bundle (see â??Tinder Bundleâ?� on page 56) and blow it to flame.

That happened to me a while ago. I just got the foot long bar-b-q lighter and it worked fine.

Damn man I know how you feel, its a bummer with no lighter. For a bowl man, I have come across nothing to use over my years...

Here's an idea...
Go get a new lighter.

Lighters are like a 5 pack for 2 bucks...

The other night someone mentioned using a toaster when you don't have a lighter. They didn't elaborate on how to do it, but imagine you may be able to stick a piece of paper into it and that could catch.

[Nochowderforyou]

Rub 2 sticks together. :p

I sometimes wonder why people think to ask such stupid questions.

Maybe I'm just growing old of all the same old threads.

[one.stoned.wookie]

matches light a candle and use strips of paper to light your bowl or u can be smart and have a backup lighter or u order some beeline and just light a candle and keep lighting the line offa that....but for a bowl shit its kinda hard with out fire unless its sunny out and u got a magnifying glass

[420marijuana420]

use a car light
go out in a thunderstorm and try to get lightning to hit your bowl
steal a light from some one
call up superman and ask for his heat vision
use a stove
use a toaster

[FloydFan]

get out your flint and steel man

[psteve]

Some soldering irons get hot enough...

[deadfan420]

Lol! This thread is cracking me up! There are hundreds of ways you can get a flame without a lighter. But here's the easiest:

1) Walk/drive to closest gas station
2) Pay for small lighter (less than a dollar)
3) Walk/drive back home
4) Pack a tight bowl of your best weed
5) Light that shit
6) Inhale deeply

Repeat steps 5 and 6 as necessary until you can't even remember your name.

magnifying glass duh

[User Name Here]

magnifying glass duh

For real dude. What I was gonna say. Man its like smoking nature with nature.

[M3nt0R]

do the knives...I think you put butter on butter knves (just a little), then put tem on a stove for a while until they start sizzling up the butter...grab a nug between the knives, and catch the steam that comes out into a 2 liter bottle that has the bottom cut open.

[slpntrx5]

dude, if you do end up using a candle, be sure not to let any wax get on the weed. i did that once. it sucked.

you can always use matches.

or heat up a knife in the stove red-hot and press it against the top of the weed in the bowl. should work pretty well i guess.

or yeah, you could just go buy a new lighter ^-^ lolz

To all those who actually had a good idea, thanks.

To those who came up with something halfway funny or original, :thumbsup: I like the magnifying glass idea. Never thought of it. You're a true professional.

To the smartasses who told me to buy a lighter, :S4:

Nah, not really but I'm not friggin stupid. If I had my car and a dollar I'd buy a damn lighter. I'm plenty old enough. If you wanna be a smart ass, at least be good at it like the guy who told me to go stand under a lightning storm.

[Bong ripper420]

those foot long candle lighters are great for lighting a bowl when your tired of burning your fingeres. u look stupid using them but they are very usefull

[Sayers]

EAT IT

[CoMfOrTaBlYnUmB420]

[cannabis campbell]

[DutchTwister420]

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

well me n my friend were in my room all set to go but FUCK neither of us had a workin lighter... so i grabbed this box of popsicle sticks that i had for some project in like.... elementary school, and we went downstairs to the kitchen

i grabbed a cereal bowl and lit a popsicle stick on fire. i walked upstairs and we were using the sticks to light up and when it was too burnt we'd but the stick in the bowl and light another stick off of it and well... its simple. anyway it was all good till i blew it out and embers burnt a hole through my dickies n burnt my leg

[wicked]
