Pipe Lighting

[thebigragu]

I have a zippo pipe lighter, also the butane pipe insert for zippo, quite partial to matches, lately been using a mini multi-purpose lighter that is refillable. Very cost effective, from a dollar store.

Zippo or wooden matches.

very nice man

Months ago, I started with wood matches so I could take my time and avoid charring the rim. Eventually I ran out so I learned to use a Bic... without burning my thumb, yay.
I just ordered some refillable butane lighters and some hemp wick to play with because why not. They should be arriving soon

very nice let me know how those wicks work

Matches; but when driving I use a Bic because the flame will go out if I accidentally drop it.

Hold it like this and the only thing you'll burn is tobacco.

Yes indeed, thank you
That's also a good way to prevent rim charring.

nice

I use a zippo with a pipe insert when it’s windy or I’m in the car. I also let the zippo burn for a few seconds before I bring it to the tobacco, I otherwise use an IM corona old boy, which I really love, the shape of the flame is very much like a match and it’s very easy to control where it goes.

Years ago the instruction paper included with a Zippo showed how to modify the regular insert for pipe use.



Works perfectly!

Zippo is a fantastic lighter.

I hope this is not a DB thing to say, But Bigragu, you should add J.R.R Tolkien at end of the quote. I’m not the etiquette police, but it is out of respect for the author.

Coming from the guy who has “borrowed” Jacque Cousteau’s likeness.

I use Zippos almost exclusively, then matches and finally a bic.

 

[wordheavy]

I use matches when I have them, zippo with insert when i don't. I have used a bic many times. I prefer matches but since I am pretty new, I can empty a box quickly.

Good point... I have been running the risk of burning alive in my car this whole time...
