>>64637239Do PPKs leak .32 acp out of their magazine at an alarming rate too?
>>64637239>wait'll I cock my Glock
>>64637239Did you really make two of these threads?
>>64637239respect for team right for seeing things for what they are…tools. Cringe if they make brand loyalty their personality à la glock. If your polymer “perfection” is 30,000+ capable, why do you own multiple? is there anything to it beyond gluttony or brand submission?
You may not like it but Bics are objectively better than Zippos.
butane really just is a better solution to lighting fags/joints/etc than ye olde oil and wick. All that said, I do like keeping a nice looking lighter around. How good are those refillable butane zippo inserts, anyone tried them?
>>64637239Reminder your consuming heavy metals if you dont use the snoop bic.
>>64638542Piezo*
>>64637239>really makes ya thinkNo it doesn't. Why not both?
>>64637239You're right, we should be able to buy big blister packs of Glocks so we can easily distribute them.
>>64637239Fixed it 4 U
>>64637239I don't smoke, but I'd trust my life to at least 3 of those 5 appliances on the right over a shit-tiastic jamomatic like the PPK. Does this also speak to how shitty the Zippos are, or was this supposed to be some sort of pithy "class vs no class" remark?
>>64639024t. glonk employee
Ive had bic lighters last months of use and Zippos that need biweekly maintenance.
>>64639093I swear you need to keep a bottle of ronsonol handy every time you want to try to use a zippo. It's nice they offer jet inserts now, zippos will always be fashionable and it's cool to scratch in some personalisation
>>64637246Youre oversoaking the cloth then, faggot. Doesnt need to be soaked and dripping, just enough for fumes
zippos are fun fidget toys but they taste and smell like shit>t. pipe smoker
>>64639290you're not supposed to eat them
>>64638463Same goes with their pens desu, a cheap bic crystal is better than 99.99% of overpriced fidget toy """writing tools"""

>>64640271let me guess, you "need" more
>>64637246>>64639114Im pretty sure it evaporates, if it just leaked out the cotton/rag you have stuffed in there would still ignite it. >>64639093 this is true, and I say that as a long time zippo owner/user they're fun and cool but nothing sucks worse than when you're itching for a cigarette and the fucking things dry or the flints bad or whatever the fuck other dumb thing happens to a zippo and you wind up just going to the store and buying a bic anyway.
>>64640524>>64640524Butane not liking to ignite when it's cold kind of sucks.But that's less annoying for most use cases than the fuel slowly evaporating lolI
>>64637239>bought hundreds of Bic lighters as preps>didn't know they go bad and don't work in 5-10 years>now have a bad of dead lightersFuck. Should've just got an old school one and some fuel. You can even use gasoline in those ones or any flammable liquid.
>>64641602use oil, more functional and burns slower
>>64637239No. I thought it was understood and went without saying. The fact that you needed this for your brain to “think” is absurd an/or sad.
>>64639290>i suck at packing my pipe so I constantly have to re-light it, I hate zippos because they taste like shitFirst of all, lighters are for cigarettes. Second, use a match. 3rd, learn to pack your bowl and use your poker. Once you’ve got good at getting a good cherry slowly sinking its way to the bottom of the bowl over 30 min or so, the brief taste of a lighter to get her started over a match won’t bother you so much because it’s one time. Wanna fun nasty one? Try lighting a pipe using a storm proof match… did this while camping once, never again, YUCK!
>>64637239>products get better over timezamn indeed whudathunk
>>64637239>technology imrpoves over timethe s&w bodyguard 2.0 objectively shits all over the ppk. the ppk looks cooler but that's the only advantage it has
>>64641864I started off with matches and they're just a complete pita if you smoke slow. butane is easy and clean, there's no reason not to use it
>>64641602>didn't know they go bad and don't work in 5-10 yearsi find that hard to believe, i bought 100 of picrel in 2017. they're still full and functional, and they're way shittier than bics.
>>64642789Still have a bunch of those that I bought in 2003. Still fueled but they break too easy.
>>64642813yeah they are not too durable and if they get too cold the plastic will crackbut as long as you don't let them freeze their shelf life seems fine
>>64638463this.The bic lighter is a pinnacle of engineering design. Fits the hand perfectly. Reliable every strike, durable (you can literally run it over and due to it's shape it will still operate perfectly) light, inexpensive, lasts for months of daily use, comfortable to carry and pleasing to look at.
>>64642789These are fun to spike into the pavement because they explode
The cylindrical ones are the best because you can refill them and they last for years.
