lol... bics are reliable, but if you get one that's not 'calibrated' right (and it happens) you get some miserable little piss poor excuse for a flame and you can't tweak it to make it any bigger.. the only other good lighter is a KING lighter...

and lol i have a zippo with a harley davidson logo on it... but zippos don't work too well for lighting bowls, unless you got a pipe zippo...
