Man get a fucking life, he's right by the way. Bic's are the only type of lighter i'll use a torch lighter sometimes for bongs. But never for a pipe.

Pride actually thought it was different. Honest mistake.

it all depends on the situation. if you don't have to worry about wind, i'd say a BIC is the best. if you're outside on a windy day or in the winter, i'd go with a zippo.

Yeah, but if you fill a zippo too much holding it upside down can result in getting nasty brown water fluid in your pipe/weed, so I would just buy a torch lighter.

Also, jesus christ, everyone chill. Yeah, emericawhatever made a stupid comment. Get over it, making a big deal out of it isnt changing anything.

Whatever lighter is available is the best lighter.

There IS a difference in the quality of the lighters...

Bic produce a smaller flame, allowing you to corner the bowl better and not fully cherry it, the smaller flame also means you inhale less butane.

The cheap chinese lighters pride was referring to originally as butane (usually thin and clear) produce a huge flame in excess of an inch or so much larger than Bics. This cherrie the weed more leading to a harsher hit and more chemically taste if that helps. That's why people dont usually use Zippos for bowls, since its all just chemicals extra

If you didnt know you should always use a bic, your retarded

this entry is from Here

"Lighters

Lighters come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Ordinary cigarette lighters are adequate for smoking bud, but they're not the best. If ordinary lighters are used, it's best to make sure the flame is at least 1.5" tall. When lighting, the lighter is best held vertically, with the flame being sucked over the edge of the bowl onto the bud. This method avoids singed fingers.

If possible, a pipe lighter should be purchased. Pipe lighters emit a tall flame at a ninety-degree angle, making it easier to light a bowl. The same effect can be achieved with conventional lighters by using a lighter "holster". The only one I've seen was made out of leather and had a "belt strap" on the back. The lighter was put into the holster, and the index and middle fingers fit snugly into the belt strap (with the holster resting on *top* of the fingers). The thumb could then flick the lighter with all fingers safely away from the flame even if the lighter were held sideways to light the bowl.

Above all else, though, the most important characteristic to look for in a lighter is reliability. It's depressing to be holding a packed bong, ready for a hit, and flicking the lighter over and over without getting a flame."

well... I'm not totally sure about "regular" lighters and others... but I think that torch lighters seem too harsh and too hot for the weed. aka burning more than you could of gotten in your lungs. Either way, after reading that entry from that site, I'm buying a "pipe lighter" on ebay.
I like the idea of high-end lighter + 45~90 degree flame that simply makes it look cooler when getting high.
I'm definitely a quality over quantity guy.

i always try and use bic, i dont think i wouldever use a tourch lighter just cause it would burn to much green, as for matches let the sulfer burn off for a few seconds before using them
