    About to toke in a hour or so and have a quick little question, Does it matter if I put out my cherry on my pipe with the bottom of a lighter? I'm sure everyone has done it but i always thought putting a bottom of a lighter which is plastic on top of a burning bowl/cherry would be unsafe??? Am I wrong? I literally got a metal socket ready for my sesh to put out my cherries lol. Thanks a lot.
     
  2. Bump, anyone??
     
  3. have blown up 2 lighters in my life. one was on top of a bowl and the other was in my pocket. the lighter in my pocket was cracked and it just blew up randomly. it made me poop a little when it happened......not really.
     
    out of the 40 trillion bowls i have smoked and capped the bowl with the lighter only one time did it explode. pretty good odds and to this day i use my lighter to cap my bowls when i smoke them. i guess what i am saying is, use at your own risk.

    thanks for the reply, but I'm not wondering if the lighter will explode or not, I'm wondering about the plastic on the lighter touching the bowl which may cause plastic to leech on the bowl and then being smoked??

    Use a coin...quarter or nickel....maybe a dime.......or your thumb...
     
  6. I use my lighter to put out the cherry, and you can see the black smudging on the bottom, so it's definitely being melted. Probably not all that healthy. I'd suggest using something metal that won't melt.
     
  7. I mean, it's certainly not gonna kill you.
     
  8. Try covering the bowl with your hand, no oxygen=no flame
