Turbo lighter vs. regular lighter

Which do you prefer? I think it's cool how a turbo lighter can vape the material without burning it if you are careful. It's also much more precise. Anyway, I never plan on purchasing a normal lighter ever again.

If you don't know what a turbo lighter is... They are the same size as normal lighters but the flame is like a miniature blowtorch instead of a candle-like flame. You can use them in full wind. I can actually take a hit from my bowl in my car with the window down while moving. ...not that I recommend such a thing.

I didn't vote because clippers have the poker in them, whereas blowtorch style lighters kick ass... im undecided

Yeah they are cool. I have a nice one. The gas station I frequent has a display of cheap ones for like $1.50. I bought one. They are pretty awesome and even refillable. I'm gonna give out a few at Christmas. A nice one is well worth the investment though. Larger torch, more consistent sparking, different color flames, etc...

I've got a few turbo lighters, all different funky designs, but I still use the good old disposable lighters. Why? Anyone's guess. I dunno.

butane torches (turbo lighters.) and you know why. you prefer them, too. and it's for all those reasons. wind doesn't knock them out, the top of the "flame" burns precise like lasers, and they are hotter. good for your salvia. LOL

Never used a turbo lighter.. been burnt with one that looked like a gun, i let my mate "shoot" my hand with it, when we saw it on a market stall in france, and it burnt me haha. Couldn't see the flame, so by the time i realized it was hot, it had burnt the palm of my hand lol :D

*mmph*! I've done that. I did it to myself though. I'd just got a new one from a random stall in Camden, and thought it wasn't working properly, so I held my hand over it while trying to light it to see if I could see if there were any sparks or anything. Turns out it was working fine, the only problem was I'd gone from relative shade, to being right in the glare of the summer sun, and I just couldn't -see- the flame.

Oops.

Yeah, another bad point about them, invisible flame..

But when you see it, i love the colours! :D

Yeah. I was thinking about it the other day. I can easily see my mates playing with a torch flame and burning the shit out of themselves. Idiots.

Fire = NO :P

Fire = YES, LOVE IT.

Fuckin' about with it = DANGEROUS (BUT FUN)
