Dang! Yeah, short cord, uh im high, where should I put this soldering iron between hits?? lol fire**
Not good.
Met a guy one time with a battery-powered soldering iron-like tool he bought at a smoke shop meant to do just that. You just touch it slightly to the greens and it ignites! Pretty neat. Sure it was like 60 bucks or something though but it was really cool. Dude just pulled a pen-sized metal stick out of a little box, heated it up, and I was like WTF!?!

But. My opinion on this whole light preference issue is kinda just about the best "ignitor"
First off i think, if im assuming you're talking about igniting a "bowl" piece, than its about how you, the inhaler, toke it like jimmy said. If its the same bic lighter i will smoke with it a lot differently full and new than when the flame on that bic has dwindled and is almost empty. So this goes for any type of gas/butane light. Its not about how hot it is but more how long and how much you use that source of flame..in my opinion..so no best lighter..only favorites:thumbsup:
Well im not gonna touch the whole taste thing because i just taste the weed but I do notice the difference every so often with different lights. Definitely weird with a match for me. Whats the best taste? I'll leave that to the connoisseurs as I am merely a voice here
