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 good. Used to smoke in my mum's garage (she lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere) and had a large saucepan on the floor that we would have a fire in while we were smoking, plus several pillar candles around the place. So fucking cool! Anyone who's poured candle wax into a fire should get what I mean.

Wow sounds fun.. I've had hot wax dripped on me by accident.. and been burnt many a time, still doesn't put me off fire :D
And i'm not a sex slave or into bondage or anything.. just had hot wax all over my hands and clothes when playing with candles :thumbsup:

*grins* I made a wax cast of my hand. I'd tilt the candle so the flame burnt the side and it dripped wax on my hand, then let it solidify and add more. Got to the point where it covered my palm, and curved round the back of my hand. We finished smoking that day, and I carefully peeled it off and left it in the garage. Next time we went out I wiggled my hand back into it and added more. By the time I moved out it covered my fingers and thumb, down to the middle joint, and my palm / back of hand, and was about an inch thick. The outside didn't even look like a hand anymore, just a weird blob!

Wow cool, you could punch someone in the face, and they'd freak out when your hand shattered! lol
I do/did that with PVA glue at school :D
Made a whole glove out of it, my mate turned it inside out so he had my 'prints and said he'd break some shit, and leave my prints.. in theory it's good.. but you need the sweat from hands to make the prints lol :D

PVA glue rules. I loved painting my hands with it, then picking at it in front of people and grossing them out cause they thought it was my skin. *lol* Fun times.

Me and my dad had to paint my ceiling with it.. well watered down and we cheated by putting it in a spray bottle.. it's needed so the paint doesn't sink into the plaster, and i couldn't do some stuff for 5 mins while i waited for my hand to dry :D

Don't the torch lighters burn the weed unnecessarily?

Actually I think it is just the opposite. A turbo lighter can burn weed without a visible flame. Meaning, your weed is burning without direct heat. I think this is far safer than a direct flame which no doubt releases more carcinogens. Although there have been no studies that I am aware of, I have found the high from my turbo lighter a bit headier than usual, confirming my hypothesis.
Turbo lighters don't work like regular lighters. Depending on the strength of the torch you can hold it several inches above your bowl while still vaping/burning material.

I think there's still heat, even though you can't see the flame. In fact, torch lighters are even hotter than regular ones. I've heard that this can actually destory the THC...
