This is my first lighter I finished from the day I bought him to the day he breathed out his last dying breath of butane gas.

We had so much fun together. We have been on so many crazy adventures together...
Man did we had wild nights of opening alot of beers and lighting a lot of things. But you stayed with me. You pulled through. You stayed by my side for the whole time. Not getting stolen from me, not getting lost. You always where by my side. You never questioned anything I lit up with you. You always provided me with a flame in just one flick.

Dear green Bic lighter, you where my first, you will forever be my first. I will always remember you and keep me close to my heart.

Now rest in peace. May you forever light the skies on the never ending fields of fire.

I'm going to miss you green little bro.

-your owner.

What the heck is the 17th Month? -Americans probably

@OP I have a jar with 10 empty lighters and 5 or 6 empty chapsticks. Get on my level.

Give it a viking burial. You'll probably need something like a lighter to start the fire, though.

No one can own a Bic lighter. One can only use it for a little while.

It's clear to everyone that you had never had a BIC lighter.

I've seen the end of many lighters lifetimes. It happens when you smoke and don't have any stoner friends to steal your bic.

I used to save my old lighters too. Emotionally attached. With the grooves from poppin bottles and the weed ash on the bottom. Love it OP!

Finishing lighters is as rare as finishing chapstick, or a pen. 10/10

Finishing a pen is only rare if you rarely write. I finish several pens each year.

I've probably got at least ten dead lighters in my house at all times. "I'll refill them... Eventually"

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I had the same thought, especially OP having this lighter since August. I'm lucky to have one for a couple weeks.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Haha I feel you. Go through lighters like crazy

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes I do, but I prefer to roll a joint. Don't take bong hits. That saves a lot of fire I guess

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Oh yes it does save alot of fire, i go throught like 2 lights a month

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It doesn't save that much. How many joints would you say you smoke since August till January? It can't be that many

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's what I was thinking. I've gone through several lighters throughout the years lol

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Several lighters in a Month, most of them do not last a week. Mainly cuz I lose them

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Same. I lose lighters but always manage to find food.

@tellavist refill it. I did this with my first bic that survived to empty. http://m.wikihow.com/Put-Lighter-Fluid-in-a-Lighter

Why not just get a zippo at that point. Just asking. I never owned a bic. Not judging but I only ever owned 1 lighter and it's my zippo.

Which brand of lighters do you use?

Personally I use zippos but if you take the metal strip off the wheel on BIC lighters they have almost no resistance on the flick

My stepdad only uses Zippos. Always borrows my BICs cuz he's always out of fluid.

How do you open beer with a lighter??

Lever the lighter between your thumb and forefinger and use the bottom of the lighter to pop the top off the bottle. Or just melt it.

Huh. I gotta try this next time! Thanks!

i still encounter "friends" who smoke but fail to open a beer with their lighter. Makes me cry from the inside.

I either use the table, or just a coaster to open in
