Are Zippo lighters bad for bowls?

[Fore20]

I roll up a fat joint or blunt once in a while, but I mostly smoke from my pipe. I was thinking of getting a zippo light, but would that be hard to light the bowl with? Kinda seems like it would, since the flame is a little different than a BIc lighter.

Yeah, you might not want to use a zippo for sparking up a bowl. Just use a bic... or any cheap lighter. Zippos can work for blunts and joints, though... and they are mostly used for tobacco products. That's really their purpose anyway ;).

It probably wouldnt be to hard to light a bowl with... But i dont think it would taste very good b/c of the lighter fluid..

I find when using a zippo, cornering your bowl become harder. The flame is sometimes bigger and goes all over the place because it uses a wick and fluid, but it does stay lit in the wind much better. I would say only get one unless your smoking cigarettes or trying to impress the ladies with your zippo tricks.

It's very bad to light with, and it does taste like shit.

Bic's are the way to go.

agreed ^

[slpntrx5]

whoops. double post. :wtf:

[slpntrx5]

you could run to a tobacco/headshop and grab a pipe lighter.

they're pretty cool.

the flame comes out the side, instead of the top, so your hand stays vertical when you light it.

i like 'em.

:)

yea the zippo makes the weed taste a little zippo fluidy. i dont think its bad, but its better to use a bic or some cheap lighter, i hate those tweaker lighters tho, the ones that shoot out a huge flame sometimes

[Nochowderforyou]

Use a $2 BIC, can't go wrong. :thumbsup:

[nicandy]

Whoa! I remember when there was no Bics! I used to have a Colibri (very nice and a little bit chic!) for going out, and a Zippo for work! What a pain that was to run outa fuel! Or when the flint wore out... Aaaah! the good old days...:hippy:

[666300]

Id say stick with Bic.

[TheAtomicPunk]

I think the zippo fluid you inhale just tastes like shit... Bic forever... :stoned:

[TheAtomicPunk]

Yea the other problem with a zippo is that the flame can no longer be used to light a bowl when it's upside down... That doesn't help...

[Bongalicious]

crickets are the best

[rebgirl420]

I dont like zippos for smoking pot. Sure they have cool designs and they look better than a bic but bics are the way to go.

[Blitzed]

Zippos are more for show really, but do find them to do alright for lighting hitters.

[CannabisCrooz]

save the zippo for blunts or joints, there always nice to pull out when your sparking up a joint at a party or something and wanna impress :)

ive only smoked a bowl a couple times with one, i didnt really taste anything different but i did burn myself a bit. if you got a bic use that

[slipknotpsycho]

if it's so bad why would htey make pipe zippos???

i stilll say use a regular butane lighter.... i love the taste of zippo lit cigs.... but weed has a good flavor... i wanna taste as much of it as possible... not hide it..

[Juggalo k00kie]

yeah.. never useda zippo for bong/pipe

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

i bought a $20 zippo and regret it soooo much cuz i dont smoke cigs and i never have joints and to smoke out my bowl or one hitter with a zippo tastes like SHIT

[Markass]

the fuel tastes like ass..I don't really like em anyhow..

[stonerman07]

zippos work just fine for a bowl. my zippo was all i had for a while and it works alright. i think it burns a little hotter than a bic, but it wont hurt the flavor or anything.

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

idk man it tastes like shit to me

[stonerman07]

either i dont mind it, or ive just gotten used to it. at first i coughed bc of it, but my zippo is fucked cuz the wick wont go back in so im kinda fucked right now.

[funfubarman]

Matches are the way to go joint bowl or blunt

[stonerman07]

fuck matches they make you cough. and if you are not careful, you will cough the weed right out of the bowl. good luck with that.

[ghosty]

bic's are the way to go

actually no... butane burns hotter then npatha (zippo fuel)

i don't see how anyone can say it's nasty tho <.<;;; butane taste makes me wanna puke.... (it does have a taste, but if you use them all th etime, you probably wouldn't notice it)

try using a zippo for a year and going back to butane <.<;; you'll definately notice the taste... took me months to finally get used to using butane again...

[Juggalo k00kie]

well... i never noticed the taste of butane, but i know it smells like shit, lol, i use i refillable pistol lighter/torch, my parents let me use their butane to fill it so it's free, i never have to use a Bic

[budsmoker]

a bic is all you need

[smokesomedope]

Zippo's new fuel is tastles and is what i use so all you peeps complainin about taste, well it is no longer an issue if you buy the right fuel.

"Zippo is proud to introduce our new formula fuel with improved performance; we call it â??Cool Fuel.â?� It burns cleaner and lights faster, but the most noticeable aspect is the reduced odor. This is a great benefit to hunters who want to keep man-made scents to a minimum. Also, some cigar smokers felt that the old Zippo fuel imparted an aftertaste that detracted from the flavor of the cigar. The new fuel is hardly detectible!

Cool Fuel is more highly refined than the previous fuel and is distilled from cosmetic grade petroleum. The result is that it is less irritating to the skin. Cool!"

that's fuckin fresh

[themissingpieces]

could be a myth, but i hear using a zippo on a bowl makes you inhale lighter fluid, which is probably really bad for you. bics are cheap and basically disposable, and losing them isn't much of a big deal. shiny zippo, where are you?

[twoguysupnorth]

fluid leaks on your leg and gives you zits and taste bad. i want a tweeker lighter, whatever one of those are.
