around here most torches are used by tweekers
Something better than a bic lighter?

I use either hempwick for combustion or my vaporbrothers with 14mm adapter and use my water pipes for tasty bong shots.

Yeah, Haps; A lot of lighters hurt my thumb too; I have to take the child locks off Bic's before use.
But, these lighters: with the clear, colored plastic, are the worst! The wheel always locks up and is sharp, hurting my poor, sensitive thumb!
LoL, can't believe I went through the process of uploading that pic, just so I could share my hatred for these lighters...
i hate them too natty. but i get them free.they have all kinds of problems. but you really can turn them up and get a flame a foot long LOL
Well, I am pretty religious about using Bics, (if I'm using a lighter); but I'd swear, and I meant to mention this in my last post, but I swear Bics don't last as long as they once did...
Has anybody else happened to notice this??
*rubs chin suspiciously*
I have a box full of beat lighters in the basement; saved them hoping maybe they could be recycled.
...And the 12" flame, on the cheapo lighters, makes me think it's gonna blow up!
Yeah, I really despise those cheapo lighters!
Lol, who knew passions ran so deep for lighters...

If those lighters hurt your thumb I'm gonna suggest you get Mr. nattynatty to do all the trimming for ya
Me, i just use a good windproof lighter and ultra refined butane, all these glass rods and ceramic irons are great but I honestly cant taste the difference between them and a good lighter with clean butane??

Just find any refillable lighter from walmart or gas station and get a can of some good butane. I bought some cheap plastic sliding type of lighter for like 3 bucks and a can of vector butane 5 bucks. Have had both for over a year and even after refilling once a week, still got half a can of butane. 8 bucks total for about 2 years of use. Versus buying loads of bics...
Also, the vector butane tastes night and day better than bics.

Yeah right. Like I'd ever get out of trimming.

I'm trying to find a glass heat wand in my area, pretty hard apparently. The best shop around just moved and they don't have anything set up. I'm gonna send away for a free Ital wick sample.
If they made a wireless herb iron that had a switch instead of a button you had to hold down, I think I'd pay $75 for that

butane torch
for the professional puffer.....
NICE! I've been tempted to get a torch sooo many times, but haven't. I know if popo sees a torch, they're gonna tear the place apart looking for batu/shabu.
Vaporizors are okay...but I end up going back to smoking after awhile. Hemp wicks are a pain. Refillable butane lighters are the best bet for the $$, like master shake said.
So if I held my lighter underneath a glass like I just did, at first you see vapor of h20, but then it a few seconds dark matter accumulates.
Nattynattygurl I am not against you, but I did one lighter and got very small portions of black but with the BIC I got just tons of stuff built up.
Glass doesn't just burn and be black. The first lighter I actually held for maybe a few seconds, and the BIC also. The BIC left a huge deposit of stinky black stuff.
I have nothing to prove except for now I am waiting for the gallery to be up, so I can ruin a bunch of people's egos because they believe since they cannot taste or detect or think they know physics or the law.
Sorry I am a scientist, I figured it out myself within seconds and if you think I am full of it...do it yourself. You'll see dark deposits!
I used a cheap clear lighting and it did not leave a VERY noticeable spot like the BIC. I care, please stop using them.

Oh, please know, Devilgoob, I take no offense; I did not mean to come across as though I was advocating 'Bic's' use...I was just saying that's what I currently use, if using a lighter, shamefully, even though I realize that they are not 'clean burning'...
Embarrassingly, I use Bic's mostly out of habit and convenience.
I've made the switch to wicks a few years back, but have been leery since my re-ignition experience. And please, never apologize for being a scientist, especially here!! Even if I'm not smart enough to always heed it's findings, I respect the scientific method!! What else are we going to look to? The alternative is quite grim, as American's know!
Anyways, there are a few cans of 'vector' laying around; I really should just get a refillable lighter instead!
Thanks to this thread, I'll be more conscientious about it, the next time I'm 'out and about' and see one.
