White lighters.

[Mean Green Charlene]

The otherday we were lighting a bowl and i pull out an all white bic lighter i bought from the gas station. My girlfriend wouldnt smoke with it, and i had to light her tokes. I guess lighting with a white lighter is bad luck?
can anyone inform me on this subject?
thanks.

[Ginnas]

Stupid superstition, nothing more. Ive heard this with many different colors of lighters too. Whites, blues, clear.

[Mean Green Charlene]

Yeah, i'd have to agree. I wasn't sure if there was more or not, thanks :stoned:

[MacWQ33]

I heard this the other day from a 20 year old...I was like 'are you fucking joking?' Grow up.

[dankman]

yah one time i used a white bic and then i died so from personal experience just dont do it

[D1me]

lol yea it's pretty much bullshit, but i have asked like 20+ people and they all tell me some story about how their brother was using a white lighter and got arrested, or something like that

Exactly, it's stupid.

If someone didn't want to use a lighter despite of it's color, then fuck them, I'll smoke the bowl myself. :p

[orangeman]

What the fuck, I cant believe people actually believe in that white lighter shit. I might just have to buy one and report back just to prove it isn't fuckin bad luck :p.

[scream]

i only buy black or green lighters but ill use any.
the color thing is cus the group of people i smoke with we all buy different colored lighters

[greenburn]

I know that I am a fan of all lighters as long as they are a bic. Although my favorite one is shaped like a gas can from Nascar, it's ergonomically fit to smoke a bowl.. no bending your wrist or burning your fingers

I know it's really bad, but i don't have any pictures of it at work oddly enough, anyway... It's a great shaped lighter but it will only light 1/10 times. I've tried everything

[Mean Green Charlene]

Its bic, they're great.

[Dutch Masta]

Bics are good lighters but not the best for smoking because of the flame size.. You want the cheap lighters so that you can make the flame really tiny so you can smoke more efficiently. Yeah they break a lot, but only because people overheat them.

[Mean Green Charlene]

i just hold the lighter farther away according to flame size.

Yes, containing a white lighter gets you arrested... Obviously he was arrested for something else that's a stupid generalization, i've had plenty of white lighters.

The issue of bad luck from a White lighter comes not from the lighter or the color of said lighter, but It comes from the perception of the ability of any object to bring bad luck. If 4/5 people with you believe 100 percent in the ability of a white lighter to bring bad luck, then seemingly "unfortunate" events will have a much greater chance of happening. It's all about thought.

[Reefer Rogue]

The colour of a lighter is irrelevant, the flame is what we're after :stoned:

[slipknotpsycho]

lol i have a refillable electric 'click' lighter i've been carrying it around for over a month, and a few months ago i had one just like it that i carried around for over 6.... nothing bad ever happened, one of the best damn dependable lighters i've had yet... got a whole drawer full of ones that crap out....

[AlwaysBlazed]

I'm not a supersticious, but for some reason using a white lighter is one thing I don't do.

[Bigpickle]

I smoked with one for a year just so my friends wouldn't smoke up all my weed. Nothing happened except people didn't smoke up all my weed...so really they are helpful.

[NightProwler]

lol white lighters are lucky what are you talking about.



clear lighetes arent unlucky, but they do suck

[Talulah]

It's probably a superstition created by the Bic company. Because white lighters NEVER die. They last double the time regular lighters do. Or at least they seem to - to me.

[stoniedastoner]

I dunno about white lighters...on two different occasions i've had a white lighter and out of nowhere a tire gets a flat and me/friends have to change it....but its all good cause we still get to smoke.:thumbsup:

[hello3pat]

One of my friends thinks it bad luck light with any lighter but your own so we are trying to break him of that habbit by stealing his lighters

[harlequinlibertine]

I've never particularly had bad luck while using a whit lighter, but they always seem to get stolen...:confused:

[TheSmokingMonkey]

That is so funny!

My "designated weed lighter" is a plain white Bic lighter. I keep it in my stash with my pipe and rolling papers. Its plain white karma is rubbing off all over everything.

So far, so good. I don't think it's bad luck!

In fact I might get superstitious from now on and ONLY use a white lighter. :D

[jay42]

Wow, thats so weird. I heard this for the first time today too. I was gonna make a post about it. One of my friends says he has known a lot of people that got caught with white lighters. I don't really buy it, but I'm probably not going to grab the white one now when im at the gas station either.

[Mean Green Charlene]

I keep using this all white bic lighter and nothings happened to me.

[Satan666]

WoW There is some stupid notions out there. everyone knows its the yeller ones hthat kill you.

AGREE! Good post!

Its fine just some people freak out.

I was at my freinds house one night. The maid that comes in in the morning is a complete bitch...but that's besides the point. The previous night I had toked with my freind up on a hill, and left his YELLOW lighter in my jacket pocket. The next morning the maid found it in my jacket, and was like "oh, so you smoke too now?" She was thinking of ciggarretes, because my freind, who's 17, was caught smoking. And I told the maid "oh...no that's not mine, that's ed's (my freinds name)" so she went and told his dad, he didn't freak out, but still, close call.

I'll put money on it that it started because of lighter thieves.
Bic, any color lighter, any design.. it has a plastic wrapping on it. you can remove it and VWALAH! a white lighter.

[pabloescobar209]

I have a white bic and a white cricket infront of me

[BigBlock]

I love the white bics...they're the only ones you can see the fluid level in! What if you have a bic with the gay flowery shrink wrap...they're only white underneath. Is that still bad? :D

The correct answer is "mind your own business, bitch!"
