Lighter Porn

[woodsroad]

Seems like there's a whole world of counterfeit pocket calculators out there, which I was unaware of. Now I'm worked up.

:worship: :rofl:

I'm working up to be offended!!

I got a great deal on an eye phone the other day on ebay. Now you guys have got me thinking it may not be genuine.

Has anyone tried the new John Polyester blends?

 

[judcasper]

I suppose this would be considered amateur porn? :D

 

[jpmcwjr]

Hah! Yes, maybe an overage overweight pole dancer....

My old flame.

To get back on topic, I really do like these old boy style lighters, but even if I had the money to spare I couldn't justify those types of prices. It's a bloody lighter!

The DuPont lighters aren’t “old boy” style.

Here's my little collection. I love this form for aesthetic and practical reasons; but of the five lighter/tampers pictured, only one works, and even then, only when it feels like it.

Sorry, wrong thread. I'd been posting on/reading the 'Kiribi Vs Corona' thread, too, and lost track of where I was.

I've never missed Haja more than I do at this moment.

I missed this thread for some reason.
And then I find this hidden Easter egg gem of a quote. That made me laugh!

My Beattie jet lighters...actually one lighter, I gave one to my good friend (the gold one). They work just great!!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Wow. Memories! Had one in college, lost or stolen.

Providing the criteria for submitting to this thread isn't a high price tag I thought I'd share my recent purchases.

Couple of mini clippers - can't go wrong. But the awful bling one was bought for a couple of reasons. One, it's a soft flame (and you wouldn't believe how difficult soft flame lighters are to get hold of on the high street, outside your disposables and clippers). And two, it will be a nice little project. I plan to prize those 'diamonds' off with a little tool and heat persuasion, and then paint the face in a matt black.
It will still be a cheap crap lighter, but at least I won't feel a fool using it.

The offending lighter modded. I laid some leather into the recess that was left behind after I'd removed the plastic jewels. Unfortunately I didn't have any thin enough to allow it to lie flush with the lip, but it's hardly noticeable. The bits of leather round the edge will buff out with use.

True lighter porn. Rode hard and put away wet.

My workhorse.
It was brand new shiny clean when I got it in 2012

 

[rdavid]

You asked for it...

 

[woodsroad]

Thanks for that.

No, really.
