I only use Bic lighters and I use them until they are almost empty. Then I put them n a beer bucket in the kitchen... I have been doing this for years and have quite the collection now. But whats really important is that I always have a lightI do it all the time Ricky..
The other week I cleaned under the couch and must've found half a dozen lighters.. the next day I went to light a smoke and couldn't find not a one of them.. I was all wtf, just had a bunch of them yesterday..
Sometimes I think the things grow legs and walk away..
I distinctly remember the first time I overfilled my zippo - wasn't really noticeable when I put it in my pocket, but a half hour later I had to change pants it burned so bad.I used to use a brass Zippo exclusively, then I started becoming allergic to the lighter fluid and couldn't carry one in my pocket without getting a very painful rash.
I wouldn't even have to overfill it. Just have it in my pocket and about 20 minutes later the rash would start. But to be honest I have very sensitive skin and have to use Free & Clear detergent to wash my clothes.I distinctly remember the first time I overfilled my zippo - wasn't really noticeable when I put it in my pocket, but a half hour later I had to change pants it burned so bad.
I don't buy lighters because I need one, I always know where mine is. Normally in my pocket or on the windowsill. I buy em because they're pretty. Hate lighters like zippos and imcos due them evaporating off their gas, but damn I love em, beautiful things. Seen a 1940s replicate genuine zippo in brass for 20 quid. Tempted! Want to buy another space case first though. This big one is so good I want a travel size one now.I used to use a brass Zippo exclusively, then I started becoming allergic to the lighter fluid and couldn't carry one in my pocket without getting a very painful rash. I switched to a refillable butane Zippo, but always ran out at the wrong time. Now I buy the Bics in the 5 packs when they are on sale. Always a spare in every vehicle and at least 1 full 5 pack as backup at home.
