[QUOTE="Tombstone Smoker, post: 577555, member: 5191"] Good morning Swede, thanks for noticing my lighters. I only smoke in outdoor or wilderness settings, so I use high-vis Bics, either naked (to slide easily in and out of pockets) or with bottoms wrapped in orange Gorilla Tape to increase visibility if they get dropped or misplaced. The first thing I do with any Bic is use the corkscrew on my Victorinox lockblade to rip out the steel childproofing shield. This really helps when trying to light with numb, cold or wet fingers, and the Bic can easily spark and throw a flame , even when soaking wet. The lighters are also marked with red or black ovals on the bottom, to indicate levels of fullness. The tape usually hides a hooks and some 4 lb Maxim Ultragreen line, in case I need to survival-fish. This tape is invaluable in backcountry settings, and also makes for an outstanding emergency fire starter. This said, I try not to use a Bic to burn a bowl, especially with Virginias, as the butane is just too coarse and hot. Instead, I use the lighter to start a beeswax hemp wick, of one kind or another, which leads to the perfect flame for lighting and sustaining a good, solid smoke. These wicks are also a useful tool for any pocket-carry fire kit. Cheers Mate 🪦 Tombstone [/QUOTE]
