Disposable/semi-disposable lighter chat space.
We discussed zippos the other day but I guess there are other non-disposable ones. Ever owned one of those that is a cross between a lighter and a paperweight?
Anyway, I guess the Clipper Elite was/is(?) the greatest semi-disposable lighter.
Got any lighter chat? Anecdotes? Strong opinions?
Struck a match this year?
Most days. The ignition on our gas hob doesn’t work.
Will soon be an #inductionwanker though, which will change everything.
prefer the bic mini lighter tbh
although the removable flint in a clipper was good for poking down the end of rolled items
Very much so
Found a dinky/ smaller than usual clipper on the floor of the pub patio last night. I gave it to the smokers I cadged a fag from
I remember being very impressed by a friend’s butane lighter once
Are the butane ones that have the blue flame like a jet fighter?
Yes
I used little swan vestas to light a fire last night. That’s it. That’s the story.
My grandad found one of them (I assume it was one of them, burned with a really intense blue fame) on a walk once, I guessed it was mainly used for drugs (cooking up on a spoon or something?)
bic regulars for me, clive.
cliippers are a mugs game.
Clipper > cricket > bic imo
Just remembered how stressful it was trying to keep hold of a favoured lighter. Always people trying to nick them. ‘Oh sorry, I forgot mate’. FUCK OFF!
Extremely relatable
What did you call the removable flint part of a clipper? My crew called it the ‘guts’
Q: why did the chicken cross the road?
A: to steal your favourite lighter!!! FUCK OFF CHICKEN YOU SHIT CUNT
I only remember one guy calling it a pokey-jabber. I don’t see him anymore.
I can see why. What did you call it?
