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?
Bic is where it's at. I have on one occasion used a zippo, and you can literally taste the fluid.
Haha today I used a match to light a candle and smoked from the candle, with a home made bong. Damn I am high.
I use and love my Colibri!
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...! ;)

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