Damn you, cheap lighter. Damn you to hell!

[wadejason]

i also agree. bic's are all i use. a friend of mine that i smoke with regulary loves zippos and those clippers and the sliders and the cheap ass ones you get at the dollar store and i tell him i wont use them. call me stubborn but ill put down the bong, dig out change out of my car and drive to the nearest gas station to buy a bic. and i hate those mini ones too, they seem the same price and your only getting like a 1/3 of the lighter. so nothing but bics here and im serious.

and for god sakes de-virginize your bic when you get it! and by that i mean peal off that sticker that tells you WARNING-fire burns! and take off that child proof thingy i hate them! actually i take that back about the warning sticker, lately ive been marking that part with different colored sharpies to show my friends that its my fire NOT THERES because for some reason everyone always pockets my lighter, never happens to anyone else haha.

yeah iknow about the ronsons....

but doesnt that elec. ing. go out all the time...

every lighter ive ever had with one has went out very quickly

but they are good while they last!!!

lol... no not really.. the ones i'm talking about come in a three pac, aren't ovalish like a bic, but aren't square either, they have sides almost like they were beveled on a wood router (if you know what that is) the first one i used like i said, lasted 6 months before it got slammed into a wall and shattered, the lighter was still working, i just lost my temper... but yes usually the elec. ignitions go out relatively quickly, but on these particular ones, no... after that first one i used another one, from the same package for a couple of months and it went out on me, i was barred out, so i don't know how it went out, i just kept asking about my lighter and after quite a few times of everyone telling me it broke when i was barred out, i came to realize it was gone... few months later found another three pack of the same kind of lighters, the black one in it, was broke from the get-go but i've been using the white one from the pack for well over a month now, not even showing any kind of wear.... and don't forget i smoke mainly bowls and am atleast a pack a day smoker... so wear and tear can't really even come into picture here, as i probably put more wear and tear on lighters than the average person will.

and these ronsons, ive heard good things about them. i looked on what looks to be their website http://www.ronsoncorp.com/index.cfm and if so....they look like zippo's to me. explanations and first hand experience, anyone?

actually, that happens to alot of people... usually tho, it's just because they were using that lighter to light the bowl, and they end up with it, not even realizing they took someone else's lighter, just a common occurance you gotta get used to when you're a stoner, atleast if you're smokign wth someone that doesn't have their own lighter...

taking off the child proof saftey thing, be careful, that mother fucker can spring up like 1,000 mph (ok i'm exagerating, but it's worthy of the exageration lol) once i was doing that and the bitch popped straight into my eye, my eye hurt for the next day or so like i just got sucker punched by arnold schwarzanegger (yeah it's misspelled, but i don't care)

lol they make zippo- types too, that are just cheap rip offs of zippos, i'm talking about butane lighters... i'll try to find a pic, but i doubt i'll be able too...

edit: ok wasn't as hard asi thought, just go to the page listed, and click on the "comet" lighters, that's the exact kind i have, but both times i've bought the packs of 3, they came in yellow, white and black.. didn't know they made any other colors then that... anyways, those are damn good lighters... last longer than a bic if you have the butane to refill it... never will you hear of a single lighter lasting a pot head that smokes atleast a pack a day, around 6 months...

[TheGreenFog]

Wait...I think I lost my lighter! Crap! Anyone got a BIC? Anyone?

I'll settle for a rectangle of death...err...dissapointment right now




No, but seriously, I have a black BIC and a white BIC on my person right now. I am CURRENTLY using the white one to smoke. I just took a toke that had that resin additive...(you know one of those last tokes off a cashed bowl, but you hold the BIC in there long enough to burn the stuff inside)...NICE toke...:smokin:

I LOVE my penguin lighter, I've been over this I think.... no clue what kind but I've had it for almost a year, and no problems. Its a tad tarnished, and it's using more butane now than it did when I got it... dunno why, but I seem to be refilling it more and more often. maybe my friend is dying Lately I've been carrying him and a nice blue BIC everywhere I go. You never know eh? and I'd hate to pack a bowl and go to toke and click my penguin (electric light) and a little pussy ass "low fuel" flame pops out of his neck

[Nochowderforyou]

If it's not a Bic, it's not shit. I've never had a Bic lighter break down on me before it ran out of fuel, and the fuel is used so efficiently that they keep producing a flame for week, after week, after week.

Don't try selling me your crappy little green rectangle of disappointment. That fuckin thing is almost certain to break down before this week is over.

Your flashy zippo doesn't impress me either. Quite the fancy Harley Davidson emblem you have on it, and oh, such cool *clicking* action. But that zippo of yours leaves me with the taste of jet fuel in my mouth everytime I use it. Fuck that.

And what about those sculpture lighters? You know, the ones that look like grenades, or guns, or whatever. Nice novelty, but it doesn't fit in my pocket.

Or those torch lighters. Holy shit, I'm trying to light the bowl, not cut steel.

:stoned:

Ha ha! This thread is still funny.

[jawndoe]

BIC's are the best but I miss the good ones they used to make. W/O the stupid child safety thing and adjustable flame. Those were the shit!

[orangeman]

Don't be a lighter nazi. If it makes a fuckin flame I'll use it. Wait this thread is old -_-.
