lighter warning

over the last week or so we have had some cold weather , the problem i have is that my thumb when cold hurts badly, it's like someone has stuck a red hot poker inside it and working outside most of the time this makes work very unpleasent.i'm sure the problem is nerve damage caused by continuous use of these lighters. i probally use a lighter about 100 times a day, it's not unuseall for me to relight a joint 10 times, and i smoke rolling tobacco whilst working which are allways going out and have to be relit.it may not be the lighters but i'm sure it is, have now changed to electronic lighters, but the damage has allready been done, so just a heads up for everyone:thumbsup:

GO GET A BIC, these pos' are garbage.:thumbsup:

yuh, i actually prefer a bic to the electric ones, the force required to make the piezo click is too much for me, and makes the point of having the electric one, well, pointless. just take the safety off the bic, and all you need is a flick, legitimately the easiest to use lighter, lights everytime.

or go with matches. but agree, those cheapos will hurt you, they hurt me, and i can assure you i have not used lighters as long.

yeah those lighters are trash, I buy em all the time just cuz they so cheap, but if I got the money to spend bic is the only way! Got a bunch of those damn lighters laying around with no flint in em anymore even though they full of fuel, so depressing when I need a light..

i find the fuel lever gets stuck on these shitty lighters so i end up with aload of lighters with no fuel but plenty of flint, your more than welcome to them lol.
told the mrs to buy me a zippo for christmas, good lighters but the gas evaporates quickly so allways seem to be filling them up.

agreed!

anyways, you may be getting arthritis in your hands, usually changes in weather effect that stuff, dunno.... If you're looking into getting a refillable lighter I would suggest a good quality butane refillable (as oposed to the refillable butane lighters that you can get next to those crappy clear lighters in your local shop) Can even get em engraved and shit. Just saying cuz, hate the smell of zippo lighter fluid, especially if u burning a bowl ;) (zippo makes butane too, thought bout it for a second so dun know if you talkin bout a classic zippo or what lol) check out Zippo Blu

don't think it's arthritis that useally affects the joints, its more the thumb print.
didn't know zippo done butane, i think the mrs got me a lighter yesterday for xmas, if she got me a zippo it would have been the classic but i gave her a chioce of a zippo or a dunhill lighter, she might have got me the dunhill as they are alot more expensive, hope so just have to wait for tommorrow. happy xmas mate have a good one.

we shall now be known as numb toe and numb thumb lol:D

I go through about 2 of them things a day. Bag of shite they are. I smoke a pipe as well, so that puts more of a strain on me old thumb. I'm thinking of going the zippo way this year.

A lighter's a lighter to me. I'm still young though, only 25 and been smoking for almost 10 years. A Bic lasts me around 3 months cosntant use, those crap lighters maybe a month before something gives and it's useless. I get those crappy ones for free when I buy ciggarettes so I have way more of them, but yeah I feel it in my thumb pad sometimes when it's really cold.

White bic's all the way. Although a friend claims it "burns" the whole bowl. I say just don't torch all the green when using a non adj. lighter as if their isn't more around.:)

EDIT: Anyone heard of that White Lighter B.S out of High Times a while back?

He must not know how to use a lighter if he burns the whole bowl unintentionally with a bic!
