Do this, take a wire really thin one like from say speakers or something hairlike thread and hook it upto a battery a few 9 volts or a car battery be VERY CAREFUL if you use a car battery make sure to have your hands insulated. Cross the wires so that the positive connects to the negative and wait for the wire to heat up red hot. that should give you enough heat to light paper or whatever a candle etc. or you could just go down the street and find an unlocked car and use their cig lighter just dont get caught... or if your dishonest steal a lighter. best wishes toker.
