One of my favorite perks from switching to vaporizers is that I am not creating this particular type of plastic waste. People don’t seem to realize how much plastic is in a single bic lighter. Dozens of plastic bottles worth of plastic.
Edit: I should’ve said “several” water bottles not “dozens.” I googled the weight of a bic lighter and a bottle and it’s probably 2 or 3 water bottles.
Ummm Zippos would like a word with you. Or matches… Or hemp wick… Like if that’s really your concern there were plenty of options.
Plus vapes don’t have all of the carcinogens from burning plant matter
I hadn’t considered that, but that should definitely be added to the pro column. Vapor is just significantly easier on the lungs. The original reason I switched to vapor was so I could climb mountains in Washington without stopping for a break every 5 minutes. The difference in lung endurance is massive.
I can’t see how it’s dozens of bottles worth in that small space. It’s mostly empty for the lighter fluid too. Just a bottle cap and bottle threading is a decent amount of plastic. Maybe 2 or 3, sure.
You’re right, dozens was an exaggeration. I added an edit to my comment.
Maybe in the US. In colombia everyone uses clippers or the cheapos on the right. I hardly ever see Bics excepts for the really small ones.
Clipper lighters are superior to bics since you can refill the gas and replace the spark on the clippers.
None of these is a Clipper lighter.
clipper lighter supremacy
same price as a cheap bic but made for scraping weed on your rolling tray and you can pull the lighter piece out and use it to compact your joints
Has anyone managed to keep a bic long enough that it runs out of gas?
Yeah, but that’s only because I used to be the one that stole everyone’s bic lighters.
…many times…
Yeah, but mostly because I never buy them. I just find them laying around on the ground after somebody else loses it.
A dozen or so, and while it’s good for it keeps the light on average level through 95% of it’s lifetime, when it ends - it ends, while with cheaper lighters you have a little hope you can milk them for days as they weaken.
all the damn time
Once, and I kept it as a trophy because I couldn’t believe it.
Out of the thousands I’ve owned… Probably only a handful haha
Or you smoke crack…
