yuh, i actually prefer a bic to the electric ones, the force required to make the piezo click is too much for me, and makes the point of having the electric one, well, pointless. just take the safety off the bic, and all you need is a flick, legitimately the easiest to use lighter, lights everytime.

or go with matches. but agree, those cheapos will hurt you, they hurt me, and i can assure you i have not used lighters as long.
