your favorite smoking ignition tool (best lighter?)

[Concho23]

whats your favorite, which is the best?

right now i use either my colibri lighter with jet flame, a st. dupont x-tend with jet flame or a normal bic...

what do you like?

any nice expensive lighters you can recommend?

[Hashmouf]

A good ol' Bic or a box of strike stick matches.....

[tokasmoka]

i just stic to the bic.

[gnomegrown]

bics hands down....matches taste like shit and same with zippos

[meltedbutter421]

i just use bics
i want to get a torch for my bong though

[BlazinX1]

I use bics but I'm going to get a nice zippo soon

[$neaky]

Only ever really use bic. If that runs out and the stores closed or i just don't feel like going out, then I'll hunt down a bbq lighter.

I have:
- bics, the original. never wrong here.
- zippo, taste is ew.
- torch + magic wand, health conscious choice
- ceramic element heater, from a soldering iron. the best.

a black bic always.

[ckycampmember]

green bics.

they are like my destiny.
every time i get a lighter, gas station people give me green ones.
and i always find green ones laying around.

Fuck bics, and zippo. I'd say that those jet flame lighters are tight, however, they burn pretty hot. But what I recommend is this lighter I got from Cancun, damn the flame is bright orange which is about 5-6 inches high no lie. Burns my joint nice.

the only thing i dnt like about bics is if ur hittin at a bad angle it burns ur thumb which fkin hurts if ur not blazedd, but otherwise bic all the way

Same for me. I'll use whatever but I love black bics.

You need to work on your fundamentals son! If you are cornering the weed, and inhaling hard enough the flame will be pulled into the bowl and it won't touch you.

Just a classic bic is all i need, don't really care what color.

[SugarMagnolia]

I refuse to use bics.... I don't know why I just don't like them. The best for lighting bowls I find is the sidekick lighter... The flame is adjustable in size and angle, which is pretty cool. Otherwise I just use a pipe lighter

I use my zippo to light j's and blunts, which is what I use most often when smoking (vap most often).

P.S. to hpidriver: zippos don't use butane, bics and torches do, and yes the zippo oil is nasty inhaled.
