![]() There’s nothing more disappointing than being excited to take a hit, only to find out you’ve got no way to light your bud. Nothing happens.Īn empty or malfunctioning disposable lighter is the worst. ![]() You reach into your pocket or smoke kit, grab your lighter, and give it a few clicks. You roll a gorgeous joint or pack your pipe perfectly. Although I gotta say I have seen some of the all metal clippers online and that brass looking one is rather sexy but oh imagine that you have to pay a little more yes but the metal ones actually have a FLAME ADJUST DIAL.As cannabis users, we can all get on board with the idea that a Clipper lighter is an essential smoking accessory. Makes no difference to clipper you still paid the one time price of the lighter. Bic knows how to run the lighter market: Make a QUALITY light that IS NOT refillable so people want to keep rebuying your product.where as clipper seems to run off the opposite model: Build a JANKY lighter that is REFILLABLE, well problem there is there lighters usually s*** out on you well before you even get a chance to refill. Seriously the flame is 5 f****n inches tall!! And per size of fuel reservoir compared to fuel output, it's worse on gas than a bummer not to mention practically worthless (unless you smoke crack.) So I stick with Bics - tried and true. My problem with the (in)famous clipper lighter is that, sure it's refillable, but if u plan on putting any mid - high quality butaine in it, then I hope you can deal with your clipper being a fuel wasting crack torch. But personally that has never been an issue for me. Not to mention it will last you a lot longer than the stock flint that was in ur clipper. For some reason the flint rods that bics come equipped with are waaaay longer than the fuel would ever permit they are about half inch in length which would help with ur spacer problem and being that you can strip down a lighter and get an almost new Flint in less time it would take to do any filing/sanding. Imo it's much easier to disassemble (destroy) and salvage a new Flint from an empty Bic or generic lighter, assuming ofcourse that you have one lying around somewhere. Getting the spring and endcap back on can be tricky, start screwing it in and don't let go of it until it's all the way in, it can go backwards so push down a bit while screwing it in to position, also it'll kind of bump along, don't worry that's just the spring ends popping up and down a bit from being screwed. If this is the first time doing this repair then just turn it around and put it in the tube with the unworn end facing the striker wheel, if you still have a good amount of flint left then you can always file it down flat. You'll see one side that's very shiny and most likely worn with a slight groove or some such, possibly a slant, either way this is a bad thing. Take it off by hand after loosening though and hold on carefully in case the flint escapes, after getting the spring and endcap of tip the flint out for inspection. That's it you need to loosen this a little before you'll get it with your hands, just use a large flathead screwdriver. You'll notice on the bottom of the flint tube theres a slot, much like a flathead screw.
