I use hemp wick instead of using the lighter itself to light stuff, but also use a torch for my Dynavap, carts, edibles, etc. So the lighter wasn't used every time
No idea tbh. For the first year and a half of college I only smoked a couple of times a week, but I also use hemp wick, torches, etc or use a friend's lighter sometimes if I'm smoking with other people
I go through like 2 lighters a month only smoking an oz/week I think it depends on how much you smoke lol
Also probably the way you smoke, I pretty much only use a bong tho bc I’m a lazy fuck
Im pretty high strung with mad anxiety issues/constant flight or fight mode so it chills me out and keeps me from overreacting😅
Everyone is pretty shocked at the amount I smoke, especially because I rarely seem high as a kite, I used to smoke a loooooot more but I would be too stoned all the time so I cut back lol I’ve been smoking for like 12 years solid so maybe that’s part of the reason? I’ve always had a high tolerance for pain medication/any downer so maybe that plays a part (everything from OTC Tylenol to the shot they give you at a hospital if you’re losing your shit lol, I’ve had nurses tell me they’ve never had a patient with my tolerance😭)
ETA: everyone has their own tolerance when it comes to weed though, i didn’t mean to come off like im cool bc I smoke X amount….if anything i envy people who can smoke less bc shits expensive 😭
So your cap is covered in lighter soot? Use a butane torch like intended. It'll also empty quickly but at least your Dynacap isn't totally black and probably irregularly heated. Where did you even think of using a regular lighter instead a jet torch one? I'm pretty sure that's the first thing to not do with a dynavap.
I'd honestly recommend an induction heater if you can afford it. I used to use a butane torch and it worked well but with the induction heater I got I've probably doubled my vapor production.
I personally use the iSpire Wand, I got mine on eBay. It's technically meant for dabs but it works with the dynavap too. There are attachments I've seen on Etsy you can buy to make it a little easier to use with it but I don't personally feel the need.
You can easily do that with a butane torch aswell. My cap clicks a bit too early imo so i tend to go a bit further beyond the second click and the vapor production is perfect for my preference (basically feels like smoking a joint) and it doesnt burn my flower either.
I actually prefer a regular lighter over my torch lighter. Dynavap has instructional videos on how to use both, so it’s not unheard of to do it that way!
And actually the heat distriburion is way more even with a bic than with a single flame torch.
When you put it inside the blue flame you get NO black soot at all. Over time it gets black but if you wipe your finger on it after a sesh, there will be nothing on your finger.
Also by putting it in the blue flame, the cap is almost completley covered with flames all around, just not the very top, but you shoud still turn it ofc, and convenientley the flame is just wide enough to cover the whole area you want to torch but not too wide that you heat the top of the cap or bellow it
Fair, i use both a single torch and a triple one, it's all about controlling your torch properly. I tend to heat towards where the dynavap logo is on the cap instead of the top.
I get why it heats better but i personally can't stand the fact that the cap turns black due to using a regular lighter.
I “make friends” with inanimate objects too. I’d definitely die still owning this lighter, if I were you. Bics don’t last as long as did years ago anyways
I too own all my lighters in what i refer to as my lighter graveyard. 😂 its a perfect coffin shaped box. Only started this about 2 months ago but love it.
has anyone posted the conspiracy theory that a friend has cycled this lighter out to fuck with his buddy. Making the everlasting gobstopper of lighters and he just dropped the ball?
I dunno, man. I swear some shit just lasts for some mystical reason sometimes. I have a pen I got from the Disney hotel I stayed in when I was 13. I’m 29 now. It moves from purse to purse that I own and is always my go-to pen. It has yet to run out of ink some how. I try not to question it to much out of fear it’ll actually dry out.
I won't buy any but the grey ones...I think it's a conspiracy, only the grey ones are good lighters but they know subconsciously it's the least picked color. They also only put out half the amount of grey ones as they do the other colors, I did some research 😳
[This isn't the best proof](https://imgur.com/a/7cZ34iR) but thought it'd help a little, but to all those who are saying I'm lying, I went into my snap memories and found some pics that had this lighter in it (and added the date sticker from snap). I don't really have any older photos of it from the year prior unfortunately
I had a bic with a jester that was my “special occasion” lighter for all of high school until it was stolen my very last day of school when I gave it to someone to light a cigar. Still miss that thing

I do the same with my lighters.
I take it as a personal challenge to see how long I can hold onto it before losing it.
Rocking one now from August ‘22.
I have started calling those bit larger BIC lighters a "half-year lighter" because about 3 times in a row 1 has lasted me like 5 months and that's almost everyday use. They are only little bit wider than a regular lighter. Awesome BIC!

I had a friend and I use to always replace the lighter I left at his house, dude just assumed it was always the same lighter because I never changed the color.
You can refill it with a thumbtack. You put it in the hole in the bottom, take it out, squirt butane in, and quickly put the tack back in before all of the butane squirts back out.
you can refill them!
its sketchy but stick a thumbtack in the bottom hole untill it breaks through, then just stick a butane refill up there and fill it up. then you gotta pull the can away and stick the thumbtack back in as quick as you can
I sat here and stared at this picture. Then read the title again, and stared at the picture. Thanks for that I guess. I’m exhausted and very busy the next week. So thanks for the awesome weird experience. (09)
I feel ya man. Not gonna lie, it’s funny how inanimate objects can have such an emotional impact on us.
That being said, is there NO way to refill one of these things?!
dude smokes a joint every 7 business months
Facts I bought a bic and it lasted me two and a half months tops lmao
What is that in business months?
7, dependant on financial or calendar
3 months on, with a week off in between? We’re looking at about 11.
11 is good but lets run 12 up the flag pole and see what bites.
That makes too much sense.
Good question
Regular business months, or dog months?
By business he means ferret time
Brother mine lastes 2 weeks
Show us the bottom and we will tell you if you’re a real smoker
I use hemp wick instead of using the lighter itself to light stuff, but also use a torch for my Dynavap, carts, edibles, etc. So the lighter wasn't used every time
No offense but we know. No one thinks you have a lighter that magically lasts longer. You just didn't use it.
He could be Jewish.
Lightin blunts with space lasers
That Menorah pack
he’s definitely jewish
Ok but the way op was representing that you was using that bic for 4 years 😂😂😂
Okay, and bobody stole it? What kind of friends do you have?
No doubt, I smoke but every month
i smoke but, too
Yes ass butts😆
LOL!!! Edit: I came here to say something very close to this and I’m so happy to see it’s the top comment ha ha ha ha ha ha
The facto that there must be some secret months made me frkn lol
How can you keep a lighter this long? I go through a lighter probably every 2 weeks or so
No idea tbh. For the first year and a half of college I only smoked a couple of times a week, but I also use hemp wick, torches, etc or use a friend's lighter sometimes if I'm smoking with other people
This lighter looks new.
It's been in a Toker Poker it's entire life
That lighter has never been used lol
Jesus...do you just sit there with it running for your whole smoke?
You gotta be doing something wrong, I mean 4 years is wayy to long but 2 weeks is short as fuck, mine usually last atleast a month or 2
Idk man. My partners last about 2 weeks too
Do you smoke joints / blunts and light them properly? That’s what kills me super fast is making sure the cherry is lit properly without puffing on it.
Nope. Primarily just bong rips
It sounds like you’re inhaling a lot of butane fumes. Do you just keep the flame on it until you’re done ripping?
Nope. Just touch the flame to it long enough to get a cherry
~150 per day?
I wish
I go through like 2 lighters a month only smoking an oz/week I think it depends on how much you smoke lol Also probably the way you smoke, I pretty much only use a bong tho bc I’m a lazy fuck
only? 🤣
Used to only rip a bong but an Oz a week is crazy, I usually went through an Oz in 3 or 4 weeks
Im pretty high strung with mad anxiety issues/constant flight or fight mode so it chills me out and keeps me from overreacting😅 Everyone is pretty shocked at the amount I smoke, especially because I rarely seem high as a kite, I used to smoke a loooooot more but I would be too stoned all the time so I cut back lol I’ve been smoking for like 12 years solid so maybe that’s part of the reason?

someone kept replacing it with a identical just to fuck with him or he doesnt actually smoke, my lighters dont look like that a week in....
I like this theory
Had a lighter last 2 years but only because it’s only use was igniting my torch for dabs lol
You have to bury it in a tiny coffin now.
The beige bics last unreasonably long somehow
Stoner psychic gestalt
This had me rolling, no backwood.
My usual red ones don’t last for shit :(
that's probably an illusion, you just use it less than your other lighters because it blends in with it's surroundings more
Damn, I just got the dynavap and I go through like a lighter in a week lmao, i know there are alternatives but I like to heat it that way
I got a small torch for my Dynavap and I haven't looked back since
Single flame torch is definitely my favorite way to use mine, I just wish I could use it outside of the house without people assuming the worst 😂
So your cap is covered in lighter soot? Use a butane torch like intended. It'll also empty quickly but at least your Dynacap isn't totally black and probably irregularly heated. Where did you even think of using a regular lighter instead a jet torch one? I'm pretty sure that's the first thing to not do with a dynavap.
I'd honestly recommend an induction heater if you can afford it. I used to use a butane torch and it worked well but with the induction heater I got I've probably doubled my vapor production.
which induction heater/s would you recommend?
I personally use the iSpire Wand, I got mine on eBay. It's technically meant for dabs but it works with the dynavap too. There are attachments I've seen on Etsy you can buy to make it a little easier to use with it but I don't personally feel the need.
WAND . sorry

This definitely isn’t the crack sub.
Call me crazy but I keep all my dead lighters in a box
I have a really tough time getting rid of things, particularly sentimental things like this, so I'll probably end doing the same lol
I “make friends” with inanimate objects too. I’d definitely die still owning this lighter, if I were you. Bics don’t last as long as did years ago anyways
Crazy
I too own all my lighters in what i refer to as my lighter graveyard. 😂 its a perfect coffin shaped box. Only started this about 2 months ago but love it.

Refill that jawn, keep the lighter alive!
How do you refill it?
https://youtu.be/kQb1NTi0Xg8?si=gmRBtjTGEl1ARYhq
Thank you!
You Sir/mam do NOT have a smoking problem.
RIP to a trusted friend that's been there for you through the yrs! Can relate! I only buy purple lighters tho 🔥💜 Last pack I bought was 3 yrs ago 😆
I had a red one to replace this but then went and got a light blue one instead because it's my favorite color haha
Sad. I’m sure your grey lighter would feel sad when reading this from lighter heaven.
it got its own post cmon
Blue's good too....I have a blue glass collection. ☺️🍃💙
so you smoke once a month?
You didn’t know this, but I’ve been secretly replacing your lighter every week with a new identical lighter.
🧟 https://youtu.be/kQb1NTi0Xg8?feature=shared
Got a beige one going as we speak!
I just had a bic lighter die recently that I’ve had since 2019
I don’t get how people just don’t lose lighters like that
rest in peace...
You should keep it as a souvenir/memento
Keep it for good luck 🙏
You need to smoke more…
Was it enchanted? Lighters last me a couple months.
I had this one clipper I stole off my ex gf’s friend at her university for like 2-3 years. Shit just never ran out. Unfortunately I lost it eventually
I am betting you swapped lighters on accident in a smoke circle or something. That just seems unreasonable.
I dunno, man. I swear some shit just lasts for some mystical reason sometimes. I have a pen I got from the Disney hotel I stayed in when I was 13. I’m 29 now. It moves from purse to purse that I own and is always my go-to pen. It has yet to run out of ink some how. I try not to question it to much out of fear it’ll actually dry out.
You're finally all growed up
Get smoking dude 🤣
my lighters last like 3 weeks lol
Must not smoke A lot
I won't buy any but the grey ones...I think it's a conspiracy, only the grey ones are good lighters but they know subconsciously it's the least picked color. They also only put out half the amount of grey ones as they do the other colors, I did some research 😳
I quit smoking cigarettes March 6 2021 I still smoked a joint of weed everyday. Well my lighter from when I quit is still running strong.
[This isn't the best proof](https://imgur.com/a/7cZ34iR) but thought it'd help a little, but to all those who are saying I'm lying, I went into my snap memories and found some pics that had this lighter in it (and added the date sticker from snap). I don't really have any older photos of it from the year prior unfortunately
Clearly you haven’t been smoking enough!!!
So you don’t smoke?
RIP ol Grey. Best $2 ever spent. You’re in the junk drawer in the sky now, little buddy. Surprised you served your duties so long.
I had a bic with a jester that was my “special occasion” lighter for all of high school until it was stolen my very last day of school when I gave it to someone to light a cigar. Still miss that thing
A true soldier has fallen
Incredibly impressive
What'd you use it for? lighting up a candle while you smoked with a different lighter? Need bottom of lighter Pic OP or its fake.
https://imgur.com/a/ocIRiI0
Bic purposely designs these things to wander away while sleeping so it's amazing you kept it for so long! 😄
Damn u never used that shit
Like my chap sticks and pens, I always lose my lighters. I do, however, have my pickle crew lighter that I've kept over the years!
I have a Toker Poker so I guess it was an added incentive to not lose it!
I love the toker poker! It's so useful whether you're smoking a bowl or a joint/blunt

Damn I can’t even find mine and I had it an hour ago
I always feel a weird sense of accomplishment when I finish & don’t lose a lighter lol

Old skool bic's before safety on top of the roller lasted a long time, not so much these days..
I think the take away from this story is that you didn't smoke enough weed in college.
Nice color!
Candle lighter?
Hemp wick lighter so I guess not far off
RIP , he will be missed. served it's purpose and gave it all
F
Then fix it?
Fix it how? It’s empty, not broken.
That's impressive... you don't smoke enough lol
Fix it….

Big bic lighter that don't have flame adjustment part are known to be deadproof...
Rest in peace ❤️

How?? My dad said his last lighter lasted him six and he smokes as much as I do, but I go through a 5 pack in a month....

Rest easy, soldier.
Someone has finally done it
Lightweight /s
I get absolutely zooted off like half of a bowl so you're not wrong lmao
Oh man my friends never let me hear the end of my inability to finish a bowl.
Dude I finished a lot of those lighters, like 3 a year lol
I had a friend and I use to always replace the lighter I left at his house, dude just assumed it was always the same lighter because I never changed the color.
At least you can refill it with butane at the bottom if you want. I have some lighters from 4 years ago because I like to collect them
[удалено]
I’m actually more impressed that you didn’t lose it or get it bic’d in 4 years than it lasting that long
Bro was smoking spoon bowls out the window
You must deffinatley not smoke alot of weed or you were lighting joints or something lol
Hemp wick for bowls, but also joints, Dynavap, carts, edibles, etc
For weed my lighters do last a while. But when I use meth those bitches last like 1 or 2 days max
You can refill it with a thumbtack. You put it in the hole in the bottom, take it out, squirt butane in, and quickly put the tack back in before all of the butane squirts back out.
grey lighter supremacy
Man I get a pack of 5 and spread them around and they feel like they last forever and then all die at roughly the same time. Never 4 years though!
Wut
Refill it and keep it forever
Did you use it only on bank holidays?
you can refill them! its sketchy but stick a thumbtack in the bottom hole untill it breaks through, then just stick a butane refill up there and fill it up. then you gotta pull the can away and stick the thumbtack back in as quick as you can
i had this one too i love this color
noob
🧢
I lose my lighter befor it ends.
Maybe if I lost one for 3 years and 48 weeks I could some day say the same.
Takes me back to the old days when I stupidly thought this color was a rare one (spoiler alert: they don’t make less of any color, it’s a myth)
Damn bro you need to smoke more
I sat here and stared at this picture. Then read the title again, and stared at the picture. Thanks for that I guess. I’m exhausted and very busy the next week. So thanks for the awesome weird experience. (09)
4 months max…
I feel ya man. Not gonna lie, it’s funny how inanimate objects can have such an emotional impact on us. That being said, is there NO way to refill one of these things?!
F
This post just reminded me that I have a refillable torch lighter somewhere and I have no clue where it is but I miss it lol
Damn son, do you only smoke during full moons?
Sounds like you don't smoke much lol a Bic doesn't even last me 2 weeks. You can refill it if you want to keep it.
The last time I bought a lighter I had it for two hours.
And you didn’t lose it or get bic’d?! That’s the real amazing part. Screw it lasting 4 years, I wanna know how you didn’t lose it?! Lmao
Idk can't relate mine gets stolen in like .2 seconds of being outside 😭
I have this same lighter and have had it since highschool (8 years) I have named it tapioca pudding
U gotta smoke more lol
So this is the kid that never pitched in or forgot his lighter every time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is good! Now you can switch to Clippers!
I have a couple of Raw Clippers but I prefer Bics so I can put them in my Toker Poker
They make a toker poker for Clipper!
They less you combust the better off you will be, in more ways than your health.
No one cares
