Friend grabbed me one of those giant Zippos because he knows I'm a bit of a pyro, thing is so cool.



Size compared to another one of my normal Zippos.





Fire,

I used to really want a zippo. Then I thought about it and realized my disposable lighter works just fine and is a fraction of the price.

I don't smoke, zippos are way better for starting fires and stuff. Wind isn't a problem. I usually buy a pack of bics for lighting fireworks around the 4th though, otherwise it would become costly, you just can't use the zippo for everything.

What a waste of money.

Bics are useless for lighting fireworks and I couldn't see zippos being much better.

I use either a punk or:

That is obnoxious. And those jet lights always break for me, but they are sick up until that point.

Yah, those gas lighters break all the time. I would like it for fireworks, but I don't want to put the money into that. I just use the bics, but I always tend to get hit by fuse sparks when using the bics. I wish I didn't have to be so close to the fuse. The punks don't work well on rainy days.

I use a one of long lighters that everybodys mom uses to light candles, for fire works. And to light fires I just pour camp stove fuel, or gas all over it, then some on a stick, light the stick and throw it in.

That giant zippo would be outrageously expensive. But it's cool.

Yeah, I've had a few of those jet lighters for work...they are great at shrinking heat-shrink tubing. But I can never keep one working for any length of time. Does anyone know of a good one that will last?

Couple guys at work have one of those. Took two cans of lighter fluid to fill it up. I had a picture of them lighting their cigs with it. somewhat comical.

Speaking of fireworks:

I bought a massive amount that I am going to pick up this weekend.

Pics to come.

No they are perfectly legal.

We just can't get quite the same ones that you guys can.
