dude a bic don't have to have a child proof thing either (assuming we're talking about the same thing: the metal band that goes over the spark wheel) you just find something and pry it off....any child proof lighter can be un child proofed somehow....i haven't used a child proof lighter since i was like 7 (from the ages of 5 until 7 i had a zippo) i got durable knife can be used to take off almost any child proofing.....just watch out cuz one time when i was taking it off it shot me in the eye and it turned red as shit....it hurt too...
