oh.. i see what a 'torch lighter' is now..

we call those 'turboflames' - you COULD smoke crack with them, but thats not what they are for, alot of people use turboflames to burn ropes and lines and stuff for fishing, not because they are wind-proof (they arent) but because they burn so hot, by the time the wind does blow them out, they have done there jobs.. good lighters, but i dont smoke with them, to dangerous when stoned...

I stand by the Clipper, its re-fillable/re-flintable and when you turn it up-side-down, the flame gets bigger, which is usefull when you smoke bongs all day long.. plus, clippers are customizable, i used to have one that had a blue metal collar, a cricket wheel, (lights everytime) a crazy paint job i did myself, it actually said 'ripper' not clipper, i put it inside half a used shotgun shell, (usefull for opening beer bottles) and a hole through the spine to attach it to a chain, it was perfect.. unfortunately i lost it.. which sucks..

anyway, my first choice would be a clipper, if not cricket, then bic, then any other disposable..
