Thread: Anyone else hate Clippers?

    Default Anyone else hate Clippers?

    Just curious really...
    Anyone else dislike Clipper lighters?‎
    I know it's to do with their design change, the polygon wheel‎ or whatever. I do all the tricks, I've changed about a hundred flints etc. I stash the older round wheels when I find them.
    Still at any point if I have a pile of lighters near me, I will grab an electric which seem to work 90% of the time rather than a clipper that will fail 90% of the time.
    Anyone else stopped using them? Anyone particularly fussy about which lighters they buy?

    As Monster says, you can't beat a genuine Zippo - but they ain't much use for bongs

    Love clippers or at least used to. Always one up from a disposable. Went through a phase in the 90s collecting all the colours. Remember the clear one coming out?

    Bought a 50 clipper tray once or twice looking for notorious blue flint screw

    Without clippers there would be no smiley face scars either

    I've got a collection of old ones which need flints or springs. Used to be the lighter thief in my group of friends haha
    Most are the round striker ones aswell. Send me a safe addy in pm and I'll gladly post you them. I don't smoke bongs anymore or if I do I'll use a windproof lighter 👍

    I used to love them, nowadays to me they seem level with disposables!
    Farmshop just glancing at that picture brings back the painful feelings of trying to find one that works, lol. I'm curious to know if those old ones you have all light first time.

    I've actually got a zippo, trying to figure out why I stopped using it. Think it's a combo of the smell, and they aren't very ergonomic for using regularly, don't you think? I might whip it out and have a play for a while. (and then I'll try find the zippo )

    It seems that on paper the USB chargeable electric ones sound perfect, but there must be a catch, like they're all shit and you need to spend loads for a good quality one or something.

    The last thing I use is a zippo, you can taste the paraffin in your spliff after lighting with one of those lol. Clipper, electric, tbf, I'm lucky to find a lighter most days, every time I gotta relight my spliff is just anther search for the elusive ignition device!
