Done with Bics, whats the best lighter?

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CrackerJax again."

That should be a scene from a stoner movie. Find a screen writer.

"Dude, Where's My Bic?"

Brian is holding a caucasian wearing a bathrobe when he opens your door, obviously. Hilarious.

Keep them coming everyone. Vent here about your Bics.

My beef with refillables is that they always break or I lose them so they dont end up being worth the extra money. For disposables Bics are only second best to me due to not having adjustable flame and removing the safety makes the wheel jam sometimes. I'll say it just once: D'JEEP. Now that's a disposable. And the ignitor button is bigger so it's more comfortable when you have to keep it pressed down. The button is also elongated so you dont burn your thumb if you tip the lit lighter. And the safety is easily removed. My fav.

Those grill lighters with the flexible neck are great, although you cant carry them around with you all the time. They are good for your home light, you know how friends always accidently take your bic. And great for bongs and pipes, no burnt thumb or trying to light a bong at weird angles "like the original grill lighters

I friggin love those things! And they have that torch thing going on so you can keep the flame away from the bowl (and your hand). The ultimate in bong accessories. Mine isnt refillable though and that kind of sucks, but they're only like 5 bucks and they last a while.

There wasn't any damage to see so it was a complete mystery to me that night. We simply went inside after giving the truck a good look over. I waas sure it was a gunshot..... and right next to me (of course ).

So about two months later I'm driving down the road and turn on the vents and a piece of the lighter hits the floorboard. I'm driving and just looking at it fish eye style with one eye on the road.... It took about 10 seconds till it dawned on me what the hell that piece meant... The haze lifted....all was clear..... ahh...college days.

didn't marry Susie, but she was sweet.

how long does it run before the flame runs out from one of those cheap lighters like it has?

try clippers, they're the european version of the bic...not refillable but still a good alternative.

but in all seriousness, walmart 5 packs of bics come with a "free bic"

We have Bic lighters over here too. The clipper is much better though. You can even pull out the part that makes the spark and holds the flint to pack in your joints. And yes they are re fillable.
From wiki:

Many people associate the use of the clipper lighter with drug use, most commonly cannabis. This is due to the lighter flame getting bigger when the lighter is tipped upside down which is associated with cannabis because many cannabis smokers use the Clipper to light their pipes, the bigger flame enables them to do this more easily. Also, the removable flint is often used by smokers to poke joints or rolled-up cigarettes.

clippers are definately the best - refillable and you can take out the middle with the flint and wheel and use it as a pokey stick for spliffs

They're refillable man, are you talking about the BRIO made by the same people?

I reckon a few BRIOs or Crickets would be good if ya don't like the clipper...

you just cant beat a bic

Easy to light, flame is 3" away from hand, feels good in your hand but small enough that you can remove a bowl, Refillable and adjustible (perfect for cornering a bowl).

Never leaves the coffee table.

now that last one I like. Diddn't know zippo did anything other than the chunky metal ones. Might look into one of em.
