I hate those child proof lighters, they hurt my thumb after a while... i just bought a 6 pack of lighters and ripped every single one of the child proof things, any one else ever do this?
they tend to be stoner-proof too... i always take them off
Yup I always take them off also, When smokers have them on it always pisses me off.
im not a child so i don't use child proof lighters hold on let me re phrase that i don't have any children i need to keep away from my lighters
i just bought one of the lighters with just a button on it. 2 days after the first use my thumb is still numb from pressing that fucking thing.
I take it out instantly when I get the lighter.
i assume your talking about bbq lighters... because i've never seen a child saftey thing on bic lighters
no it's a little metal clip thing on the striker on bic lighters, makes it really hard to strike (especially when you're high)
... The bics have them. They are the curved metal piece that partially covers the "wheel" you spin. To remove just get a screwdriver under it and twist. Makes lighting 200% easier.
... thank god zippo doesn't have one.
hmmm.. thats odd, i've never noticed them, never had any trouble lighting either.
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.
Hahaha that's most likely because it was a weed lighter, my friend had one where you push the button down but before doing that you have to switch this thing it acted as a child proof.
i totally have that lighter and i got it at a fair. its pretty shitty though, it leaks.Quote:
