Lighters last a super long time and they don’t contain batteries which is the real concern.

But not disposable lighters?

Lighters last a super long time
flashbacks to last 4th of July where we needed to get 4 different disposable lighters before one worked
Not that the actual lighters are any better, those try out on their own with no use.echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
I bought a dispose of the light of £1 from the middle of Lidl, It works fine over 6 months later. Well don’t work are those multipack ones there’s a reason they’re in a multi-back and it’s because they’re all terrible.

Hate to be a shill, but were they of the Bic brand or were they shitty knock offs?
TriflingToad@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t remember probably about a 50/50, chance. We just get whatevers at the store because we hardly use lighters

I’ve never seen a “disposable” lighter that didn’t have a gas filling hole.

went to my junk drawer and got one, Doesn’t have anything on the bottom and top won’t come off without breaking

You can actually remove it pretty easily. I recall because I removed that shiny metal bit so I could follow a life hack video that allows you to increase the flame size. I’m sure you could take it off and refill it.

It’s not the most user friendly option, I agree, but definitely refillable.

huh, interesting didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing too, have a good day!

disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.
