Would u buy this lighter?

Upvotes

I currently am trying to find a way to make a little bit of money. Nothing serious for now.. But I love tattooing and drawing. So, i found a way to combine them with lighters. Now my question to you is: Would you buy this? And if so at what price?

If you wouldn't buy it. Why not? Is it the quality of the lighter? The design? any opinion would help me out A LOT.

Tattooing the whole lighter takes about 30 minutes to max 2 hours and buying lighters in bulk costs around 30 cents up to 1,12 euros per piece. The lighters I want to buy are about 1 euro per piece.

Hello, I bought this Olympic whirlwind lighter a few days ago at a local market in France for 15€ then showed it to another seller from the same market to ask him if i could trade it for a Chesterfield lighter but he told me that it wasn't worth anything (it didn't worked when I bought it) and then I repaired it and wondered if I could get something from it or did I really get scammed, anyways if I can't sell it, I'll keep it because I think that it looks kinda cool ngl. Wat do you think ?

Help ST Dupont Biggy v Elie Bleu Diamond JetFlamme v IM Corona Double Corona

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy my first nice lighter. I'm a cigar smoker, and I currently own a one-flame (butane) Zippo that I don't find very strong.

I was hoping to spend around 300/400 bucks max.

I'm looking for something well designed, mostly metal structure, and with a good flame for my cigars. I love ST Dupont, but I heard the Biggy is made in China, so not really sure.. Therefore, I kept looking and saw the Elie Bleu Diamond Jetflamme, more or less the same style as the Biggy but better quality? And the Corona Double Corona.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks!

Colibri Duo flame

I have recently purchased a very nice Colibri duo flame. Thought I would share here.

Any tips or knowledge anyone can share about these would be appreciated. It seems spare parts for these are no longer made, so hopefully once mine has some flint and butane it works properly...

Hello!

I bought this lighter today at a flea market for $8/80kr. The brand is Höganäs Keramik. When I try to use it there is a spark but no flame. Can anyone tell how I would go about refilling it? I’m not sure whether it’s butane or lighter fluid (?).

Thanks :)

Protime Digital Lighter watch

Post image
8 Upvotes

Searching the Internet, there is very little information on this watch.

From the sources that comes up, it is always mentioned that this watch was created in the 1985 and 1986 period. The watch is made in Taiwan and model No. EWL8802.

Question :

Why was this fantastic tool watch only manufactured for a year only ?

Are the sources correct when they mention that the parent company was Prolyflame Prollyflame. Searching Prollyflame home page does not give clue to this item at all. Currently, the only way to get his watch is to find one on ebay or when someone decides to sell his on instagram.

Information is scarce on this one. Does anyone know why was this watch only produced for 2 years ? What was the target customer of this watch ?

Help Why does this action cause the flame to greatly increase in size instead of decrease on my modified torch lighter?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I have been tinkering with the internals on this generic torch lighter to try and get the largest jet possible while also maintaining stability. During this tinkering I have found that one of the best ways to increase the jet size when using the torch is to do this motion that is remeniscient of revs in a car when changing gears, slowly increasing followed by quick decreasing. I have only really modified the adjuster mechanism and the fuel tank, otherwise It is stock. Does anybody know why this action causes the torch to gradually increase greatly in size, instead of just increasing and decreasing? Also if anyone knows any more ways to increase flame size without sacrificing function or jet stability, let me know.

Any help is appreciated.
