i use bics too (safety off, i hate safeties), but i much prefer these types. hteyre usually cheaper, and lighter, and easier to light. they arent nearly as reliable true, but i jsut love crankin the flame up. its so amusing.
We have the clippers over here aswell (so does most of Europe afaik), they are the business, the ultimate lighter for smokers. The built in pokey (podge as you call it) is real handy for roching a spliff. A zippo would be a waste of time for smoking hash, the flame is to wide, if you ony had a small bit you'd burn the fingers off yourself.
I really don't care because they all do the same thing. I do have one complaint about bic though. If you hold the flame for a while then try to re-light the lighter it is near impossible cuz the metal ring thing gets so hot.
i love the bic and the mini bic. i get attatched to them. my little friends. but i hate those fucking cheap clear ones. they get too hot and break mid toke. and that can really ruin a session.
i just use whatevers handy. i dont really give a damn about what im using cuz im so focused on what im lighting up
it really depends for bowls i like bics but if i have joints or blunts i like my good ol zippo and then i do tricks and imprese people
dejeep best lighter ever new lighters even have cool graphic and no safety if you never used one check it out
bic last the longest, just right flame, childproof metal piece comes off easily cheaper and other lighter use too much fuel too fast, IE adjustable flame ones, but are good for smoking other stuff other ive seen one blow up in someoens face before i wont use them, just bics *looks at Velouria* hey shaun is how my middle name is spelled, rare to spot it anywhere, very rare, i have that name in my full name thanks to s. cassidy :O :/ good luck
Well I always use Bic lighters...not for smoking but for lighting candles and whatnot...I guess I figured most people used the more expensive lighters... I wish BIC would put out the clearish pink ones again... I miss those.
They are just like the most reliable and stuff.... I like the ones that are that light blue color... Kind of like... my text...
