I buy Bic's, and no, I don't tear the safety thing off. If it were like a little switch you have to press down to light, then yeah, I'd bust that off in a second, but if it's just the little silver tab over top of the flicker, then no. I mean, how hard is it to light one of those. ;) j/k
I have broken brand new lighters trying to take the safety shit off. That always sucks!
I hate the little child-proof tabs on a bic. The first thing I do when I get a lighter is take that damn thing off.
I never get a lighter that has 'em. I only seem to buy bic lighters by the pack and they never have 'em.
I always take them off, they bother me and its much easier using a lighter without one lighting bowls when your drunk
I take the keys to my bic all the time to remove those fucking safetys. I hate roasting a bowl with one... it really kills my mood if I have to try to smoke.
we dont have saftey tabs on lighters in holland, i think that's mainly in america.
When I was a kid, the parents didn't let their kids play with lighters. :D
But the ones we played with anyways were far more dangerous.:thumbsup: Get some wind and that Zippo turned into a flame thrower!:dance:
And I won't even mention that burn when you overfill it and stick it in your pocket:eek:
LOL

I assume we dont get saftey tabs on lighters in the UK either.
Are you talking about flint lighters or electric???
out of curiosity.
flint and butane. i have a zippo (flint and lighter fluid). the electric and butane ones would be better then bics which i use if they didn't have those horrible things that you can't get out.
I never bother with the safety locks anymore. I can pull them off for people in a second with a needle nose pliers, but I usually lose lighters within 48 hours of buying them anyways.
i always take them off
good thread, i always bust them off cause its just easier, i use a knife or fork or what ever's handy
ive never ruined a lighter doing it its a just a little strip of metal that keeps your finger from spinning the wheel that strikes the flint, unless you push it down, you can just pry it out
no, im a cave man.
i voted no, never, but the answer is no, not anymore
i used to take the safety off, but stopped cause it doesnt really make a difference to me.
shoi man
shoi no need lighter
shoi use stick
sometimes other people do it for me if it bugs them, but ive never done it myself
always...it pays off on those night when im waaay fucked up...

i dont really mind, just have too push harder
We use an *Iron Lung* so I have to flick the lighter a bunch of times over and over, so yep, I always take them off.
Draw me a picture of this iron lungQuote:
