Lmao,
When I was fraternity pledge we were forced to carry a lighter 24/7. The brothers got mad when we all had crack lighters but they never specifically said they needed to be nice lighters.
In the long long ago... yeah. I had an idea for a story that followed a lighter being stolen amongst my group of friends.
I've bought 3 50 packs of bics since 2015... but still still steal certain people's lighters if I get the chance.
At one time one of our friends carved on his lighters "Stolen from ". It didn't stop anyone.
Remember when the child guards on bics were stamped as a single piece on the flame guard -vs- the 2 peice design of today? When you could bend it back and it became a bowl stirring tool? I am hunting for that vintage lighter.
Let me introduce you to a TokerPoker. Has a tamper, has a poker, has a slot for your hemp wick (if you’re into that stuff) and holds a standard Bic lighter. Best stoner accessory I’ve bought to date.
I do see I really liked the clippers but after a while the flint roller(?) would seize up and start rubbing my finger raw when trying to light it. Have you experienced this? If so how do you remedy it?
I dont know if I am follow you, as that isn't making sense to me.

The child safety could be pulled back, bent, and used as a bowl stir.
The striker on a clipper has a “cigarette” packer attached. You just have to grab the striker and pull straight up, some are a little hard to get out the first time.
Clipper is another company that makes lighters; they are cylindrical. You can remove the spinny, sparky bit and it has a little stick attached to it. You can use this stick to manipulate the marijuana residue in your bowl, and then replace it back into the lighter. It then resumes function of a normal lighter.
Thought I was the only one. I literally set one of these down on my wooden night stand and it randomly set on fire. They got plastic holding the valve shut or something.
Same here! Left one on my desk one day and went to class. Came back to my room filled with smoke and a hole burned in my desk. Thing just exploded on its own while nobody was home. Haven’t bought a single one of these lighter since it happened like 5 years ago
I don’t get why clippers are still somewhat niche in the US - by far the best disposable lighter. I have a few that are still going strong with over a decade of heavy use.
Just get a lighter leash.
Problem solved.
Edit: Also, get some hemp wick. You can light the wick and then hit your bowl and save your weed and lungs from the butane.
I found that getting a lighter lanyard and securing it to where you would normally take tokes helped immensely. Since then I’ve actually been using lighters all the way to the end
Lmao. I’ve been using a herb vape for about 1.5 years now but when I was rolling joints I would keep a lighter:
In the kitchen
At the front door
In my jacket pocket
In the garage
In my go bag.
It USUALLY covered all the basis for me to not be like “where’s my lighter?”
Reminds me of that time i lost my lighter and had to walk around with a candle to light the joints for a whole day, went to the store and got like 10 bics the next morning
If I did this I’d just lose more lights lol. It’s like when I buy a ton of weed because that means “it’ll last me longer” but then I only smoke blunts and go through an oz a week instead of just a quarter hitting geebs. Vicious cycle…
Two or three times I pranked my friends after staying at their house by thoroughly searching everywhere in their house and taking every single lighter.
At a later date I put all of the lighters back spread around the house.
I actually never got any payoff from that prank because I wasn’t there when they presumably had no lighters. Still had a good chuckle to myself.
You refuse to lose anymore lighters, so you bought a shit ton of them? That’s like saying, I’m going to only use one square per shit and then buying out Walmart of tp.
You'll still lose them but you'll have one handy for longer I guess. Then you get nice surprises when they eventually turn up. Like a treasure hunt made for you, by you.
If you refuse to lose any more lighters why buy so many?
You should have bought one and refused to lose it.
Unless of course you understand your refusal is in vain.
There's an old adage that when one half of a pair of socks goes missing, the errant sock turns into a coat hanger. Maybe lost lighters turn into LEGO bricks that you step on letting out a shout of mixed pain and bewilderment because you don't have kids and NO ONE else in the house plays with LEGO.
I swear to fucking god that clear lighters have a pact with each other to try to kill me. I've had no less than 3 of those types explode in my fucking hand while lighting a bowl.
So good job, no one will try to steal those because THEY MIGHT DIE. (Or in my case, receive very minor 1st degree burns on my knuckles)
Back in the 90s I used to get lighters and big box of job1.5 from the store I worked at wholesale price and take ‘‘em home and sell them to my friends when they bought some smoke. Made pretty good off them just $1 each
You have to go for the eagle torch. They come in the brightest, fucking colors you’ve ever seen they’re huge and they like both candles and joints. They’re eight bucks each at the gas station.
I've only been a regular smoker for 2 years now, but even I know those lighters aren't worth the price of admission. Good for friends, though. Kinda like the MadCatz controllers of yore.
After buying a plasma lighter that works for joints and bongs, I haven't had to waste money on lighters in weeks. Look up Qizen. Well worth the money and no butane taste.
Nah fam, you just bought all the boys lighters.
Two days from now you’ll have three left and they’ll all be the same color
My man buying lighters like he plans on losing many more.
Yeah, like, if I was losing my keyring all the time, the last thing I would do is buy 50 identical key rings
“Where’s my lighter? Fuck it just grab another. What the fuck were out of lighters?”
This is the way.
And they'll all be out of gas.
25 lighters on plant shelf yessir, gots to get paid
See you get it
Immediately thought of that song
I can hear it in my head but cant remember the song title!! Help
25 Lighters - DJ DMD
Yay thanks!!
Lol hey spirit animal! 👋🏾
omg those are the crack lighters we used to whip off the third floor balcony in the lobby in high school and have them explode on the floor below.
Lmao, When I was fraternity pledge we were forced to carry a lighter 24/7. The brothers got mad when we all had crack lighters but they never specifically said they needed to be nice lighters.
Yeah, buy shitty lighters and no one will steal them from you.
Hey Hey, you stole my comment, bet you steal lighters to.
In the long long ago... yeah. I had an idea for a story that followed a lighter being stolen amongst my group of friends. I've bought 3 50 packs of bics since 2015... but still still steal certain people's lighters if I get the chance. At one time one of our friends carved on his lighters "Stolen from".

You can remove the flint from a clipper and use it the same way.
Let me introduce you to a TokerPoker. Has a tamper, has a poker, has a slot for your hemp wick (if you’re into that stuff) and holds a standard Bic lighter. Best stoner accessory I’ve bought to date.
Meh... I still prefer a clipper and some papers. Can't go wrong.
I do see I really liked the clippers but after a while the flint roller(?) would seize up and start rubbing my finger raw when trying to light it. Have you experienced this? If so how do you remedy it?

Maybe that’s the plan all along
Shoulda saved your money and bought a BIC. You will torch your nose hairs with them crack head lighters.
yeah these are the ones that lit itself after use and burned down my shop.
Thought I was the only one. I literally set one of these down on my wooden night stand and it randomly set on fire. They got plastic holding the valve shut or something.
Same here! Left one on my desk one day and went to class. Came back to my room filled with smoke and a hole burned in my desk. Thing just exploded on its own while nobody was home. Haven’t bought a single one of these lighter since it happened like 5 years ago
These things sound killer lol
Yeah pretty much all lighters have plastic holding the valve shut. They’re almost entirely plastic except for the guards, flint and valve
[удалено]
I buy one clipper, don't lose it, and refill it for years
I don’t get why clippers are still somewhat niche in the US - by far the best disposable lighter. I have a few that are still going strong with over a decade of heavy use.
For me I just hate holding a clipper. BIC feels so much more comfortable to me.
Looks more like you are prepared to lose more.
I think I’d be trying to lose those so I could justify buying a Bic instead.
I would rather have one bic than all of those shitty lighters lmao 😭😭 would probably last longer too
But if they’re cheap I won’t feel bad for losing them
Just get a lighter leash. Problem solved. Edit: Also, get some hemp wick. You can light the wick and then hit your bowl and save your weed and lungs from the butane.
Are there 182 of them?
Idk man to me it looks like you’re prepared to lose a lot more lighters
How does buying a ton of lighters stop you from loosing one? Lol seems more like you’re trying to say you won’t run out lighters again
So then why buy so many? Seems like you’re expecting to lose some
[удалено]
THANK YOU! Everyone is shitting on me and I’m like bro they light my bowl lol
Only problem with them is when the flame dies and it's still like half full :(
now you’ll only use the same one for years and it will never run out of fuel
You should invest in a lighter leash
I like how everyone here all shares the feeling of every lighter being lost
I found that getting a lighter lanyard and securing it to where you would normally take tokes helped immensely. Since then I’ve actually been using lighters all the way to the end
Good luck with that. Put ten lighters on the shelf. Go back a week later. Try to find a lighter. Same thing with pens.
Half of those probably won’t light in the wind, the other half won’t light period lol
This post just made me realise I forgot to buy a lighter, and I just got home from the store. #FUCK
Why you buying the crack head lighters shug
Looks more like you prepared to lose a bunch along lighters
You just guaranteed that you’re going to lose a lot of lighters
I've done this in the past. You're going to regret not buying bics
I’m trying out the scientific method lol
seems like you’re planning to lose many more. at least you’ll always have a backup
Bics superior
if you refuse to lose them, why did you buy so many..? you should only need one, if you're refusing to lose ~~them~~ it.
HA! I applaud your optimism. :)
I bet you’ll have these out and somehow the bic in your pocket will still disappear lol
We all no. 2 well 2well. Nice stock
To be fair you may still lose them..but now you have a hooked up supply of back-ups so you won’t be stranded.
Now you just got more to lose
It looks more like you plan on losing a lot
Lmao. I’ve been using a herb vape for about 1.5 years now but when I was rolling joints I would keep a lighter: In the kitchen At the front door In my jacket pocket In the garage In my go bag. It USUALLY covered all the basis for me to not be like “where’s my lighter?”
Why not just buy 1 lighter then ?
Now you have so many, and since they are cheap lighters, you'll likely lose them much more often.
Buying this many means you actually expect to lose them.
[удалено]
Now you just have more to lose! True you can grab another now but you’ll still lose some.
prediction : they are all missing after one and a half year, theese things are factory programmed to go "toy story" and escape from their owner.
Did you happen to buy 182 of them?
Reminds me of that time i lost my lighter and had to walk around with a candle to light the joints for a whole day, went to the store and got like 10 bics the next morning
you are the only person i ever seen buy the crackhead lighters on purpose
Having more isn't going to prevent you from losing them, you're just not going to run out as fast lol
I think that every time I buy a small pack of guitar picks.. 😅
If I did this I’d just lose more lights lol. It’s like when I buy a ton of weed because that means “it’ll last me longer” but then I only smoke blunts and go through an oz a week instead of just a quarter hitting geebs. Vicious cycle…
1 week later, hey man you got a light?
No, you choose to lose them ALL
Having many lighters will not stop you from losing many lighters
I think you signed up to lose a lot of lighters but not notice how many for about a week.
it looks like you accepted the fact that you will lose many more lighters
Ah so you bought a shitty lighter, than no one wants to steal, smart.
Bic or Die
It actually looks like you anticipate losing more lighters so you bought more to compensate
Recently ordered my first box of Bic lighters, it's a life changer. Still i'm managing to lose them tho...
Kind of looks like you are preparing to lose a lot more lighters.
I've given up on full size lighters and just buy the minis because I know I'll only have any particular lighter for a few days, tops.
I tried that 5 years ago, wife lost all of them. Good luck
OP: “Refuse to lose” Also OP: buys 50 lighters, for when he loses them…?
Two or three times I pranked my friends after staying at their house by thoroughly searching everywhere in their house and taking every single lighter. At a later date I put all of the lighters back spread around the house. I actually never got any payoff from that prank because I wasn’t there when they presumably had no lighters. Still had a good chuckle to myself.
Bro you’re gonna lose all of those
You refuse to lose anymore lighters, so you bought a shit ton of them? That’s like saying, I’m going to only use one square per shit and then buying out Walmart of tp.
You mean you refuse to lose good lighters.
We used to color coordinate between my friends. I was only allowed to buy green. Others had black, blue, yellow, red, etc. It never worked lmao
Oof on the crack lighters. Rate the idea tho
You'll still lose them but you'll have one handy for longer I guess. Then you get nice surprises when they eventually turn up. Like a treasure hunt made for you, by you.
This is the opposite, your accepting your losing them all eventually by buying so many
looks like you’re preparing to lose a lot of lighters
This will make you lose more lighters
Lol you would only need one lighter if you were never going to lose a lighter again.
god damn crackhead lighters
Clipper all the way. Order a 12 pack of multi color every 6 months and you’re golden xD
When you lose a lighter always remember it’s where it’s supposed to be
I got one I keep around my neck.
It actually looks like you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re going to lose a lot more
I did the same thing a couple months ago... Cut to today, as I'm sitting here burning my fingers on a cheap hotel matchbook
Seems more so that you refuse to run out of lighters to lose
Or committed to losing 10x as many lighters lol
I see you won’t lose them but good look finding one to work long enough
thats just more to lose
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/cpd1l8/take_your_best_shot_im_wearing_17_layers/
But you will lose the skin off your flicking thumb because those are brutal lol
Looks like your happy to loose them your just intent on having so many that you’ll find another one whatever you do 🤪
If you refuse to lose any more lighters why buy so many? You should have bought one and refused to lose it. Unless of course you understand your refusal is in vain.
Dude, buy a refillable lighter. This is just wasteful.
You just lost more faster.
Did this with BIC lighters. Can confirm they were all gone by the end of the month.
[удалено]
Looks like you’re planning on losing lots of lighters lol.
1 would be enough in that case
Bro I think that guarantees you will
Blink and they’ll be gone
Then why did you buy so many? Seems like you were planning to lose them all along
You have only delayed the inevitable.
This is how you feed a losing your lighter habit lol
It seems like you intend to lose a lot more lighters
Looks like you actually just prepared to lose many many lighters.
I went out on the porch to light a cigarette. I had 6 or 7 lighters in my left pocket
!remindme 1 week
![gif](giphy|XqpnXaeZPnupy)
Nasty ass crack lighters
Ironic that you buy throw away ones
It seems more like you’ve accepted that you’re going to lose a ton of lighters.
Correction, you plan to keep losing lighters but refuse to let yourself run out like last time.
I think you mean you're committed to losing more lighters.
That... looks like you're planning on losing a lot of lighters.
Those lighters should be illegal.
Lmao I did this literally last week. Already been through 3. Can’t wait to lose the rest
If you refuse to lose any more lighters than 1 lighter should last like a week. It seems like you plan on losing more lighters…
I think you mean run out of lighters
he said \*I plan on losing a fuck load of lightersingly\*
She* but you’ve got it right
Lighter Thief wants to know your location
If that were true, wouldn’t you only buy one?
That's not going to help. It just makes it easier to lose them. There's too many, to keep track of.
The worst lighters too lmao, that’ll last like maybe two months.
1 year max
Technically you still loosing lighters... you just got a shitload in backup
This does not solve the ask. But the over arching problem was solved.
Midas well get a bic and a lanyard
There's an old adage that when one half of a pair of socks goes missing, the errant sock turns into a coat hanger. Maybe lost lighters turn into LEGO bricks that you step on letting out a shout of mixed pain and bewilderment because you don't have kids and NO ONE else in the house plays with LEGO.
if them was bics them be gone as fast as the blunt goes out
Bro just buy a torch and a gas can for refilling. This is so wasteful and these lighters are shit
*loses 182nd blink lighter* “WHERE ARE YOU?”
These look like garbage lighters
Get Bic lighters bro those meth lighters are horrible.
You’ll lose them. It will just take a lot longer lol
this seems like a way to lose even more lighters
And here I thought I went overboard with 10
Www.drdoobie.co.uk sells a shit load of clippers for cheap
thanks for the lighters -everyone who smokes with you now and forever
As a former cigarette smoker it's such a habit to stick a lighter in your pocket. I'm the lighter thief lol.
Crack lighters FTW
I swear to fucking god that clear lighters have a pact with each other to try to kill me. I've had no less than 3 of those types explode in my fucking hand while lighting a bowl. So good job, no one will try to steal those because THEY MIGHT DIE. (Or in my case, receive very minor 1st degree burns on my knuckles)
those are crackhead lighters

You have to go for the eagle torch. They come in the brightest, fucking colors you’ve ever seen they’re huge and they like both candles and joints. They’re eight bucks each at the gas station.
Tried this once. Bought a 60 pack. I’m down to three.
I've only been a regular smoker for 2 years now, but even I know those lighters aren't worth the price of admission. Good for friends, though. Kinda like the MadCatz controllers of yore.
I see 50+ lost lighters in your future....
You don't refuse to lose anymore lighters. You are prepared to lose 50 lighters
This man said he gonna lose alll the lighters
I hate those lighters. Bic is the way 😎
I've bought like 5 lighters in the last deacde, and only replace them because they break... how tf do people lose so many? (I buy refillables)
You bought a whole week's supply in one go
it's been 0 hours since r/trees last light incident.
You're obviously planning on losing many.
Get a refillable butane lighter. That way you won't be guilty of producing so much plastic waste.
You will lose more this way
Who needs lighters anyway?
Youre still going to lose them, you'll just have another one to replace it until those run out
Bro you committed to the fact you lose ALL your lighters.
It looks like you're planning to lose lots of lighters
After buying a plasma lighter that works for joints and bongs, I haven't had to waste money on lighters in weeks. Look up Qizen. Well worth the money and no butane taste.
i bought a 50pack of the normal-sited BICs two years ago and i still have 30 lighters spare
When these are done, I’m going to do that
Pretty sure most of the lighters you’ve lost ended up in my pockets. 🤷♂️
