hey everyone, i remember seeing a knife thread a while back and thought that i would make one for lighters, so if you collect lighters or just have one or two that you like post it hear and tell me what you think of it, dosent have to be anything special just whatever you have.
here are my few

Does that peanut lighter actually use a peanut??

I too love lighters, however I also tend to lose things...

Have a few Zippo's rattling round in random drawers, some $10 specials from the gas station... and my precious.

Its a Colibri 3 jet flame butane lighter. GREAT for toasting cigars evenly.

quick google search wrote:They are called "Peanut Lighters™" due to their small size.

I have 2 satin zippos, one standard and one small, and an ex camoflauged one which I had sandblasted down to the brass finish

For day-to-day use I have an imitation zippo

Yeah I quit smoking cigarettes 10months ago. Still enjoy a few cigars a month, but I have made the switch to e-cigs.

My current "lighter"

This is my pride and joy:


Bought it in Florence for 60 euro. Can get it on ebay for about $25USD or less i'm pretty sure I bought it while in Europe when I was 15, hence me not knowing any better about the price. I don't collect lighters even though I have that zippo, a gold zippo, a silver zippo a knock-off zippo from the Hofbräuhaus in Munich and another knock-off from Italy which has a picture of Mussolini on the front with "Il Duce" in text.

Out of curiousity, how do you find them? And what were you smoking before, for the sake of comparison?

My dad built a fire piston. Over Thanksgiving, I helped him get it working. I started building one. For the cylinder, I am using a Slurpee metal straw from 7-11. They are anodized aluminum and come in a variety of colors. They have an ID of 3/8ths inch. I turned down some UHMWPE to fit one end with a tight o ring for the base. I made a piston from a hardwood dowel, but it was too soft and split.

I have a blue one, the second from the left.


For a fix I just picked up a 3/8ths steel rod from the hardware store. I'll have a new piston soon.

If there were a 7-11 anywhere within 50 miles of me, I'd go for the green one.



How much are those ?

I've been thinking that, using the collective knowledge of different kinds of projectile launching we have here...

There must be some way to build a compact, self-powered version.

Load, then pull/push a trigger, and the piston does the compression bit all on it's own.

I don't remember the price. It was not too expensive. I think it was $1.25 US. The prices on eBay is insane.

@ Tech- when I first read your post I figured you posted in the wrong section lol. However, a quick google search later, I now want one myself. +1internet for you sir!

@JSR I used to smoke a pack and a half of Camel wides daily... for over 6 years. I tried patches, I tried gum, I tried chantix... Hell I even tried chewing. All that ended up happening was smoking with a patch on, or smoking with gum, or smoking while chewing... you get the picture.

3days man... THREE EFFING DAYS of vaping (slang for using a vaporizer) and I was done with cigarettes. I found that I enjoyed it quite better than smoke. It IS a tad different than smoking (burns on the exhale rather than the inhale) but it "hits" you JUST THE SAME. It will spin your head in the mornings
