Child-Proof Lighters

arg... i hate those stupid things... and hate it even more when other stoners dont take them off... so im always sitting there with a pipe in one hand and a child prof lighter and a kinfe in the other taking it off

I usually keep them on bics because i didnt even realize that they were child safety devices...I shall try getting it off my current favorite lighter in a moment.

Oh damn i know what your talking about, ya every lighter i end up with tends to be de-childproofed.

i thought it was something else.

yea i just checked my stash of lighters and only one hadn't been de-childproofed.

I noticed the child-proofing before but it never made it any harder for me. Gonna take the metal off my bic now just to see if it really does make a difference. I'm curious...

Does it seem to anybody else like lighters got bulkier when they added this child 'saftey' mechanism? I remember them being somewhat smaller several years ago. They don't sell the lighters you can tweak and cause to exlpode around here anymore either. :(

lmao look at mike jone's icon! great choice.

I hate those things too :cool:

whats the point in 'child-proofing' a lighter? darwins theory of evolution works :D the kid who burns too many nose hairs ends up looking like michael jackson :) i mean come on, what happened to the good old days when parents let their kids learn on their own? Jeeeeeez my mom was happy when i stuck a fork in the outlet...course she got really pissed when i did it again =\

Buy one those miniature screwdriver sets from the dollar store. They come in handy for popping off the child-proof part of the lighter, and also, cleaning bowls and scraping resin.

I think it's only the bics, because i bought a ligter at some fair with a pot leaf on it and the words "natures way of staying high" and it didn't have a child saftey thing.
