    Well the Cliper ones are so bad and can be refill, but after a point they stop working even if the gaz is getting out and the rest seems to work...

    I've got some which were £1 for 10... so not surprise they were crap...

    Some couldn't even use them cos were catching on fire!!!

    Clipper lighters are the best.

    Good flame and you can use it for a pokey when you're rolling spliffs.

    Zippo's are good, but with me and all my mates being lighter thieves they're really not practical.

    I always use transparent clippers. That way I know that if someone is using one they've nicked my lighter!

    I never had problems with lighters I used to smoke. My friend had to dry his lighter with a hairdrier to get his to work after he split tea on it the other day. :lol:

    Not when it's windy.

    One hand to hold the match, one hand to hold the packet and light it, and then you need another hand to stop the flame blowing out.

    All you have to do is know how to take it apart without losing parts and the flint, then tinker with it a bit and even the 10 for a L1 work grand till they're dry.

    Its quite possibly the worst task. Ever.

    Erm, I find Bic lighters work well, often as not, had one for Ages.

    Those see-through ones are just shit, mind. Don't bother.
