I may not remember that well, but isn't it bad to use zippo lighters with a pipe or bong? I know its okay for anything rolled, but since pipes and bongs need the lighter constantly lit, aren't zippos not recommended since they use butane? Or am I just remembering things wrong?
Zippo lighters are windproof, they stay lit consistently. Personally, I've never tried one with a bong. But, I assume they would work magic.
I wouldn't use one with my bong, the amount of lighter fluid they give off would kill the taste of the bud and give you a head ache.
its actually hard cuz you cant really get the flame to point into the bowl. and yea it uses alot of lighter fluid making it taste kinda bad.
Your hits gonna taste like butane. I wouldn't recommend using a zippo for anything your going to smoke
besides the fact that smoking with zippos tastes like ass, its fine to use... oh, and zippos don't use butane
If you have a zippo and want to use it for smoking, you need this. Z-PLUS ZPLUS JET BUTANE TORCH FLAME LIGHTER INSERT - eBay (item 140463474235 end time Oct-15-10 08:42:22 PDT)
Zippo lighters do not use butane. They use a compound called Naphtha. It is very harmful to be inhaled.
Actually zippos do not use butane, they use a fluid. Butane is a gas. Zippo's are the worst thing you could use to light your herbs.
This. It is worth noting that while the traditional Zippos run on Naptha, There is a new line of Zippos called BLU that run on Butane.
Traditional zippos arent butane... i think all the zippo-styled butane lighters brought about that idea. To answer the qestion; I wouldnt use any butane lighter to smoke weed. Remember the active ingredients are released at a temperature below the plants ignition temperature, so the cooler you can keep it, the more THC you will actually be getting into your body, and not just vaporizing into thin air before its even in the smoke your inhaling. Some times people forget that smoke doesnt equal THC, or I'd be blowing all my hits into a big sack and saving for later. The smoke is just a bi-product from traditionally heating the materials beyond the point of ignition.
