Best lighters to use for toking

[Masta Stuff]

My friend says that Zippo lighters are the best. Traditionally I just use bics. I'm thinking about buying a Torch lighter of somesort. But my friend says they suck and a zippo would be better to get. I'v heard Zippos Hurt ur lungs on bongs or pipes. and I use those types of things and smoke joints every once and a while.

so yeah should I get a Zippo or a Torch based lighter. or maybe just stick with the bics but I'd rather have another lighter just incase something happens. Likely a decent refillable one.

Zippo is the worst lighter to use, torch lighters are ok, but a bic is the basic. You should try using wood matches, you can taste the differance.

[thcbongman]

There is only one lighter that should be ever be used for toking......

And that is a BIC

[Machello]

Bic its all in the mix

[memoryburner]

Bic all the way

[jaGerbom]

see ive tried telling the the diff between dif kinds of lighters and i just cant seem to notice any difference....but yeh i use bics anyways cuz they cheap and reliable

[Hyde roponics]

BICs are bombin. im always tempted to buy more and more of em...

[biohazard]

BICs! (as long as they are not white :p, im superstitious about that)

[FreshRollyG]

Yeah, go the BIC's... Always get black ones, they seem to feel they work better lol

[S7R33T]

i always use Clipper lighters, got a full rack of them at home so never without one :S5:

[Pepper]

A torch w/ quality butane.

[Abattoir Dream]

CLIPPER...

they mite as well be made for smokin bongs...

No offence to your friend, but he doesnt know what he's talking about. For shit!

Zippo's run on refined petrol, not gas. The have a horrible smell, and taste. Yes, you can taste the fuel on your cigs/bud.

Zippo's arnt built to be good, they're built to look cool, and they do.

But damn, there no good for any form of bong/hookah, and really, they're are just no good to smoke weed with. I mean, unless you want your weed tasting like petrol. Gas lighters dont have the flavour because all the fuel gets burned, or enough so that you cant taste it.

I cant remember if i gave the reason Zippos are no good for bongs and pipes, so here it is; Light a Zippo and try holding it upside down. What happens? The flame just goes into the holey part, because it's a wick burning. There's nothing being forced out at high pressure, unlike gas.

I use any old ligher i have laying around.

Only buy a Zippo for the look, not to actually use, especially with bud.

I'd advice you to get a torch ligher. But even then, they waste a small amount of THC, as they're so hot they destroy some fo the THC and CBDs. Obviously you'll still get high though rofl!

But torch lighers are for crack arnt they?

[2600HERTZ]

Bic is where it's at. I have on one occasion used a zippo, and you can literally taste the fluid.

[Iplaybass182]

Haha today I used a match to light a candle and smoked from the candle, with a home made bong. Damn I am high.

[Zimzum]

I use and love my Colibri!

[TheGreenFog]

BICs are the best, IMO. Most reliable and long-lasting. The childproof metal piece is a bit of a hassle...but not too bad & easily removed.

Torch lighters are the best for windy conditions (i.e. snowboarding, etc).


Flick My Bic, biaches...! ;)

:S5:

oh.. i see what a 'torch lighter' is now..

we call those 'turboflames' - you COULD smoke crack with them, but thats not what they are for, alot of people use turboflames to burn ropes and lines and stuff for fishing, not because they are wind-proof (they arent) but because they burn so hot, by the time the wind does blow them out, they have done there jobs.. good lighters, but i dont smoke with them, to dangerous when stoned...

I stand by the Clipper, its re-fillable/re-flintable and when you turn it up-side-down, the flame gets bigger, which is usefull when you smoke bongs all day long.. plus, clippers are customizable, i used to have one that had a blue metal collar, a cricket wheel, (lights everytime) a crazy paint job i did myself, it actually said 'ripper' not clipper, i put it inside half a used shotgun shell, (usefull for opening beer bottles) and a hole through the spine to attach it to a chain, it was perfect.. unfortunately i lost it.. which sucks..

anyway, my first choice would be a clipper, if not cricket, then bic, then any other disposable..

[Nochowderforyou]

BICS are the best. They last until all the fuel is gone, they don't crap out, they're cheap and they work good.

[russ-bob]

im a bic man also its kinda cool to toke with propane (bic=butane) propane is in my stove and its kinda tricky but in the lack of a lighter you can smoke off of a gas stove!

~Russ~

[Masta Stuff]

alright. heres what I got. I bought a red and black 6$ torch lighter. and then I bought 2 large bics and one mini for when I'm on the road lol

[budsmoker only]

gotta be bic.. ive used a zippo once because it was the only lighter we had... that was one of the worst bowls that ive ever smoked and hope to never have to resort to that again..

[Bob the Awesome]

I've never really messed around with much... I like BIC's, cheap, easy to find, they last forever, and they come in so many colors!

I'll like joints/blunts with a zippo, but it's too hard to light a bowl/bong with them, and it tastes funny.

Haven't tried anything else myself.

[Pink_Floyd]

Hands down, BIC lighters take the cake for me.

[Samwhore]

BIC no doubt, then you can write a story using a bic pen, or shave with a bic razor

[User Name Here]

Bics is what I've always used. take the safety off and blaze. btw my mom just stold 2 of mine. She hates me smoking.

[TallulahGreen]

Hell yeah, it's all about the pink and the purple BICs.

[The Big Easy]

I think Bic wins the majorit vote, they are the best because they're cheep, work, and are color coded so you know which one is your when they are being passed around the cirlce.

[yoda]

flick your bic

[Captain Hanks]

Torch lighters burn your weed to hot hell. Zippos hardly burn your weed at all. But a simple BIC can lift you wonders.

[rnichilo]

lol@zippoz4budzRofl

i mean.... bic.

[microwavechips]

B I C :jointsmile:

[Nochowderforyou]

BIC should be the official lighter for stoners. :thumbsup:

[twocamaros]

Propane Torch... Yummmy

[Brandotheblazer]

BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS BICS

[orangeman]

I use what ever I can get. Just as long as it's a lighter it works for me lol. But I prefer Bic's because the flame size is perfect and it never changes even when there is only a little bit of fuel left and they are very, very easy to flick.

[Sir Bliss]

Do I really need to repeat everyone? Yes.

Bic. Preferably black.

[scruffy bandit3]

Zippo is the worst lighter to use, torch lighters are ok, but a bic is the basic. You should try using wood matches, you can taste the differance.

yeah man its the truth
matches are the way forward

[briman]

I use just a normal clipper they are great, they are refilable and they have a pokie and they dont make the spliff taste like shit like zippos do:S5:

[in.music.u.trust]

BIC for one main reason. they are cheap. i always lose my lighters/ they get taken by dirty smokers so there is no point in paying a shitload of money everyweek to buy a new zippo. plus they suck.

[Bong ripper420]

torch burns the weed way to fast. zippo's taste like shit. Bic's are the best.

[sneakybastard]

zippos taste sick

[TheAtomicPunk]

BIC FTW!

I'd use matches before a zippo, that's apsolutley disgusting

I forget who asked it, but torch lighters or any lighter with a HUGE flame is what my friends and I call a "crack lighta"

[aznson01]

I use a torch and I love it.

if u enjoy smoking cahsed bowls after 1 hit, go for it!

bic
bic
bic

bic
bic

the generic ones at the gas station are fine too

bics are choice, torches (real butane lighters) suck because they burn everything in half a second, ive never tried matches, zippos make it taste like fuck shit, i'll never use a zippo again for lighting my bud

[ghostman420]

i got a torch lighter i use myself. it allows me to get fat ass hits!!!:D

[spliffstar22]

BICS ALL DAY lol

[aznson01]

i got a torch lighter i use myself. it allows me to get fat ass hits!!!:D

yeah ok

[Four50HP383Chevy]

lets get a little breakdown here....


BIC - great for your everyday bowl-roasting

ZIPPO - best for joints. and the most fun to play with

TORCH - best for burning an entire bowl IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE! hold it a ways away and use the HEAT not the direct flame. this will get you R-I-P-P-E-D and chalk like nobodies fuckin business

there are your answers. enjoy :)

[theamazingkane]

As a long time owner of a zippo, I must say that I dearly love my zippo, but I would N-E-V-E-R even consider flaming up a bong or pipe with it. They are good for one thing and one thing only, and that's lighting ciggies. BICs are by far the absolute best for weed. Although you can use a torch just fine, I only use a torch If I'm outside with the wind blowing and rain/snow falling like crazy. Other than that, there's no point, because you will end up burning too much of your weed prematurely, and that's never a good thing.

Keep your zippo for looks and for lighting ciggies, but other than that, just use a trusty old BIC.:jointsmile:
