Carrying a lighter if you don’t smoke is retarded

Faggot you are carrying around a lighter just to light other peoples’ cigs like a goddamn butler and you want to do it. What is that if not retarded?

>>18657767
I'm an unc so this information is probably useless now but girls would sometimes approach me by asking for a light so it was useful to have. I also used to use my lighter to open beer bottles at parties which impressed some people. This was all back in the 00's though, I dunno if zoomers are still drinking or having sex

Well, there are pyromaniacs who just likes to set shit on fire. Comments like that is stigmatizing. Nothing wrong with lighting a fire with style.

Buy a clipper, when it wastes buy gas to refill it, when the flint brakes buy a bic, when that wastes remove the flint and put it in the old clipper.

That is basically impossible though because a friend or work mate is definitely going to steal one of them first

I use both a brushed silver Clipper that was $18 and this Colibri pipe lighter which was $60.

I'm really pissed that you can't get strike anywhere matches now because of all that old meth cook bullshit. Growing up camping and scouting we all carried those. Now it's just that 'strike on box' shit.

The safe but stylish options are silver and gold. It should be plain, with the exception being if you received it as a gift such as from a relative or for being in a wedding.

Imco for petrol, metal Clipper for butane. Don't fall for the "$100 name brand awesome" lighter, you will lose it eventually. This is not something you want to splurge on.

>>18657767
Lighters are useful, and this isn't even about being a "super survival guru" wannabe. You can singe the end of cordage to prevent fraying, you can burn off loose threads to prevent a tear from getting worse, you can start up a gas torch, etc. etc. You can't imagine a world in which fire can be used for anything other than nicotine, which is very funny.

You can tell how fucking country dumb some of those soldiers were based on what they had engraved.
I like the one that lists his kills and then says "If you're the one recovering my body, fuck you."
What an idiot he must have been. LOL

>>18658448
Why would you want a non-Zippo Zippo? That's fucking retarded. No one does that better than they do. And they have hundreds of designs to choose from.
Nothing more shoddy than what you're suggesting.

>>18658594
Yeah, 'ST Dupont' doesn't offer anything under $250. Most are over $1K.
Fuck off with that.

>>18658813
Just looked into Imco and the idea of a gasoline lighter is fucking sweet.
They range from $12 to $30 new on ebay but I don't know what I'm looking for. Are they all fine? Is it worth getting a "real" one from Australia? They seem to be "vintage style".

What's too much to pay? What's too little?

Thanks.

>>18658866
What makes you think I need to "grow up" exactly?

>>18658908
No, actually, you should avoid "real ones" from AUSTRIA because they rust. I would rather get a Chinese replica because it's made of stainless steel, albeit a bit thinner, I had one of those and lost it but it was awesome while I had it. It also loses very little lighter fluid through evaporation unlike a Zippo because the extinguishing mechanism is tight and small. The only problem with them is that changing the wick requires you tie its end to a string which you then pull through the casing with the cotton, otherwise it's easy to maintain and reliable. Opt for the cheapest one, there really isn't much difference between grades.

Buy vintage. Plenty of options under 250

>>18657745
You don't. If you carry a lighter for the specific utilitarian purpose of letting others use it, that just will cause them to want to hold it and then it very well may disappear. Don't be a jagoff. Just carry a Bic or a Zippo. The only, singular exception to the above would be if you were dressing up and have a girl who smokes (don't do this). In this one example worth mentioning as there are no others, then yes, she will care about you using your eff-ay lighter to spark her up. It's fancy, it's hot, it makes her look good, you made her look good, transitive property, etc. Since you're never going to do this, just use a fucking Bic and take the "Thank you."

>>18659026
I had the right one and can vouch it works amazing and Zippo, Penguin and similar have nothing on it.

Sweet, because I just bought it. Can't wait to go to the gas station to have it filled. It'll be the first time I buy gas with coins.

>>18659136
Well, since high school. But you could get a lot of gas with a handful of change back then.

The greatest lighters ever created.

You dumb fuck. They were already interested in you, them asking for a light is just a pretext to test you.

Obviously, you autist.

>>18659540
So they obviously would have found any excuse to talk because they didn't actually need a light, which means carring a lighter is pointless

No.

>healthy adjusted person
bic
>chicks who do coke and suck dick for it
clipper
>crack head
any other plastic lighter
>redditor
zippo or any other metal lighter

if you want it solely as a conversation starter at a bar or something you are much better off carrying cigs to give away, you'll probably start smoking yourself though as the next logical step if you want to talk to someone who just bummed a cig from you is to light one up yourself and smoke with them
with that being said, anything more than a bic is gonna do you more harm than good, you have to understand the only people who get "nice" lighters are posers and fedora types, even heavy smokers, yes there are a few niche use cases like cigars and collectors, but if you're at a bar and pull out a custom zippo or something people are gonna see right through you.
It's like if you asked someone on the street what time it is and they pulled out a fucking pocket watch, no matter how cool or expensive or fancy it might look you're still gonna be like wow that fucking weirdo carries a pocket watch

>>18662502
Strange ideas in your brain. Looks like YOU buy Bics and you're trying to justify it by disparaging lighters other than you use.
Whatever your motivation, you're a fucking retard.

>>18662573
NTA but Bics are almost universally recognised as the best generic lighter maybe on par with clippers although usually above them
The only downside is they aren't refillable
