For a second, I thought Lemmy had advertisements now.
It does, they’re just user-submitted
Or “users”
I quite like them, haven’t burnt myself when smoking a bong in a long time.
Nah thanks my lighter technique is to ingrained. I’ll stick with the original.
I understand what they’re insinuating but won’t any regular lighter work for that purpose? What’s so special about this design?
For when part of the herb that’s loaded in your pipe doesn’t get ignited by capillary action and you need to put the flame directly to it to get it to ignite. Since you’re trying to manipulate the position of the flame it’s easier for your fingers to get in the way. It’s more of an edge case and you can just get better at using a normal lighter, so I’d say this is just for viral marketing if it’s real
edit: and djeep lighters are better for this anyway
When the herb in the bowl is deep, gotta get the flame deeper, so either get gud, or burny fingy.
Like, people have been using regular lighters for this for forever, so it’s not a necessity, just easier.
When you torch from the top, you can burn your fingers with the regular lighter.
You’re not supposed to torch it from the top like a caveman. There’s a technique. The cornering sideburn.
How else you light the candle? From the bottom?
Candle? I thought we were talking about weed.
This lighter has a stem to keep the flame from your thumb, but it isn’t obnoxiously long.
I’ll note the Bic brand is not refillable. Look for a little port on the bottom. I’ve seen some at Ace hardware.
its a type of pipe lighter.
To light a pipe, you need to get the flame down in the bowl.
its kinda tricky to that with a normal lighter without burning your thumb.so over the years specialized pipe lighters emerged, that help you reach into the bowl.
the implication in the ad is, that the most popular pipes these days are not for tobacco consumption.
It’s perfect for lighting bowls

Wtf happened to Martha Stewart? That is her in the middle?
She is friends with Snoop. They bake shit and cook together. It is completely amazing.
Whooshhhh
And so much more: Like burning away the hair growing out of your ears without also burning your fingers!
I have the orange one and it’s great for candles as they get low. Never had a problem with regular Bics for lighting bowls.
Eagle > Bic, just saying.
TBH this is more corporate “fellow kids” energy than anything else.
I like clipper better, same thing but refillable. They have the same style with the metal extension piece. Bic goes in the garbage once it runs out.
Fuck Bic and their single use crap.
They literally do only single use Lighters and Pens, nothing else.
Fuck this company.
Their single use surfboards are THE WORST
