Bics>Torches

[Lone Grunt]

Ok I have just finished my official study regarding the whole issue between Jet Lighters and Bic lighters. Early this morning around lunch I smoked a bowl out of my glass hand pipe. I have now just finished my second bowl of the day with a bic lighter. I must say I prefer the high that I'm at currently with the bic than the torch. My hoots definately went down smoother. So i have decided to invest in a couple of nice bics!

[StonerBill]

the torch destroys weed. you shouldnt use it for lighting your weed. bic is the stoner god's holy weapon.

[TeaWithATwist]

Who the hell uses torches for lighting weed anyway? I know you are out there! Show yourself!

Even a normal bic lighter creates temperature high enough to destroy a large amount of THC in the bud. A torch lighter is just awful in this repsect. Really bad idea, save those torches fro glow rods or salvia!

[NatureFreak412]

What happens when you take that metal thing out of the BIC lighter? you know what im talking about?

and how do you do that, I cant take the thing out.

[TeaWithATwist]

You mean the safety? The little strip that covers the middle of the spark wheel? I just use pliers.

[Twizz]

You can jam a knife in between the wheel and the metal shroud and pry the shroud off, then use your fingers to pull the safety clip off.

[TeaWithATwist]

You can always tell a stoner by their lighter. The safety will be gone and there will be a thin coat of resin on the bottom ;)

[Lone Grunt]

yes yes I have only been smoking for 2-3 months and my friends who got me smoking all use torches (claim it burns the weed faster and the butane burns clean) and up till now i've believed them. I can actually taste the lighter fluid from a bic however so that was true but other than that its just so much easier to take a hoot with a bic. My eyes have been opened blah blah blah bash the noob so on and so forth.

[TeaWithATwist]

That is true, actually. Torches burn much cleaner, but considering you are destroying way more THC, and making a much harsher/hotter smoke it just doesn't seem worth it.

Stick to glow rodding or get a nice pipe lighter with high quality butane. Taste much better than a bic.

[roygbivp]

ummm.....a bic is a lighter
you light a bowl with a lighter

torches are to torch things, who wants to torch a bowl....
mmmmm....marijuana.....

[SirTokesAlot]

As long as it aint a torch, and it lights a resonable size flame, then ill use it.

[sniffmagikmarkrs]

it's all about orange bics.....i love my bic lighters.....yes i do

[chineseeyesguy420]

bic lighters are the best thing. they have never let me down. even if they are just about dead when i start to smoke, they always last me til the end. '


woo...i am feeling good. hello to everyone, i am new to the threads.

[AcousticPeace]

i like the bics

[SirTokesAlot]

cant get over how cute you are... you must take down the picture before i do something crazy

[StonerBill]

crazy? like take the face and put it on some porno?
you sick bastard

lol but when getting the safety off the bic lighters, you gotta be violent. you cant be afraid of breaking the lighter. just get somthing thin and metal and jam it under the safety and pull it up like a lever. it will snap out and may hit someone in the eye

[SirTokesAlot]

damnit bill... you busted my plan wide open

[NoVictimNoCrime]

good call bill, im always trying to pry those damn things outta my lighters and i always try to do it carefully first, but then im like fuck this and i just tear it out. i never remember it though, so its always taken me at least a good 5 minutes to get rid of it!

[TeaWithATwist]

crazy? like take the face and put it on some porno?
you sick bastard


Oh that's not sick. Printing the face out and cutting a hole where the mouth would be is sick (and crazy) I enjoy taking everything one step further.

I too have noticed the danger of a flying bic safety. Such things must be done in the safety of a closet. Make sure to leave the face with cutout mouth on the table though, others will start to wonder (and wonder they will)

[StonerBill]

yer, a good one is when you get teh blow up dolls and mask the face over them

[TeaWithATwist]

I think Acoustic is getting a bit freaked out here, eh eh eh?

[Daftperception]

Haha flick my bic. Yeah bics are the bomb and I take the safety out of everybodys lighter its so easy and it makes it much easyer to light and I find after a long time of smoking with a safety my fingers get sore. Another thing is those lighters with the fuel adjust knob they usually develop pussy flames after a short period of use what I do is just pull open the flame guard and lift the adjust gear and bring it back so I can adjust it higher. My lighters always have a shit load of resin on the bottom which isn't good I heard that you can get busted with just resin on the tip of your knife.

[Dr. Frank-N-Furter]

whats the point of removing the safety?

[SteelYourFace]

removing the safety makes it easier light and a slightly bigger flame.

just wondering if anyone pays attention to which way they flick there bic, most people use the side of thumb where I always use the tip?

[TheShow]

It depends on what I'm lighting with the bic really. If I'm lighting a bowl it is the side of my thumb. Joints I vary between end of thumb and side. Cigarettes is always tip of thumb

[Dr. Frank-N-Furter]

kewl thanks

[gaum]

i always use the side of my thumb

[cuimilt na gcos]

I use my index finger when lighting bowls, otherwise I always seem to burn myself.

[wonderboy]

i usually use the tip of my thumb, only if it gets sore then i switch to the side. goddam i didnt know about this whole removing the safety thing, thats a great tip! wooo
