It sounds like for outside use, a torch lighter or anything windproof for that matter would do the trick for preventing the flame going out or having too much being wasted... I think I'll try to stick towards flaring up indoors, or If I have to be outside, trying to do so on a calm day..

Sorry if my post makes me sound like a noob, but almost none of my friends EVER smoke joints, as most of them percieve them to be wasteful and inefficient. I jsut like getting the most mileage out of my green stuff, and torching and wasting a good joint is enough to drive me insane..

But seriously, thanks for the tips.:stoned:
