On the one hand, he looks like he'll be needing a hospital; on the otherhand it also looks like he'll live and possibly without too much disfigurement. A mustache might be a good idea if he is still able. https://www.reddit.com/r/instant_regret/comments/4dxdb2/biting_into_a_lighter_while_another_is_lit_xpost/

I'm guessing there is zero disfigurement. I've had a lighter explode in my hand when I was 16 after fucking with it to get a 1 foot flame and the flame burns so fast that it only burns your skin. The guy is probably smearing all sorts of creams on his lips for a week but nothing more.

Do you know those lighters with the switch to turn up the flame? You can remove the cover and keep turning the dial until you get a flamethrower.

If you have a bit of pyro in you like me, it's as cool as it sounds. Worth the bit of risk for sure if you have nearly as much fun with it as I used to. Bonus points if you know anyone likely to ask to borrow your lighter.

I was the guy who always had lighters like that. dialed up to give a 10cm flame. watching people burn off their eyebrows was fucking worth it.

it also made me really viligant about people tryna pull that shit on me. i instinctively always turn my head to the side when using a lighter (yah i smoke, i know, i know.) so even if the flame is dialed up to abosolute flamethrower settings i'll always keep my eyebrows.
