    don’t understand the negative comments, unless they are friends of yours just having a little fun. the lighter mods are nothing more than you showing another way to do something. looking forward to whatever vid coming up next.

    Good job! That lighter will last a very long time! You will probably end up replacing the waxed jute a few times before the gas runs out.

    Nice clean mods! Only thing different I did was swap the zip-tie for a thick O-ring 😁👍

      Thanks for the "like"
      I have a "ball" of cotton string that I "waxed" sometime ago in a mix of bee wax and pine resin or turpentine... I will try it out...and I have some proper cotton wick that I might wax and try and compare the burning intensity and duration of the 2...

      cant say i remember that, and i have been smoking since high school in 1982. however there are still several brands of non bic lighters that are refillable, scripto comes to mind. how many times, you can refill them before they make no spark, i have no idea. i do know the flint(?) on most lighters is smaller than the lead of a pencil tip

    if you are cheap/frugal like i am, you can buy 50 bic lighters with a "display case", on amazon for $48.99. lot better than 2,25 at a gas station. if you are a non smoker.... thats a life time supply

      This is true, but then wrap them all in waxed candle wick and Gorilla tape and you'll have basically 500 Bic lighters.

    This a forehead moment my guy. Just buy another lighter what is wrong with you.

    • @snooch4529

      You also still have to flick the lighter to light the wick, instead of lighting whatever you needed the lighter for. I’d like to see some testing done to verify “10x” myself lol

    • @DontForgetYourLunch35

      The idea is if you’re in a bad situation (god forbid) and you need to make the lighter last as long as possible, this is an inexpensive option.
