Ok, I have a question that has been bothering me: When you use a regular Bic lighter to light a bowl and the lighter goes out while you are still inhaling, do you also inhale the fumes that are coming out of the extinguished lighter? If so, what exactly are the fumes, are they good/bad/horrible for you? How much is released in the time that it takes for you to realize it's gone out and release the button? Sorry, but I thought of this a couple days ago and it's been bothering me since.
Once the flame goes out you should just let go of the gas button. You really only need to light weed for a couple seconds, don't scorch it by lighting it the whole time you are inhaling, that just wastes precious bud. And yes, the fumes in the lighter should not be inhaled. It is similar to the gas that comes from a gas stove. It will kill you in large amounts, of course there's not nearly enought in a lighter to do that.
Yeah man, you just need to keep the lighter lit long enough to get a cherry going. If you let it burn any longer, you are just wasting weed. If you just burn it long enough to get the cherry, then you don't have to worry about fumes.
i usually hold the flame about 1/2in away from the bowl and it will spark the bowl from the heat. This way you never actually touch the lighter to the bud. Alittle bit cleaner taste aswell.
if that were the case then there wouldn't be half the products on the market that there are cleaning products gasoline cigarettes Just 3 highy used items that are toxic and able to be purchased
well, im sure its not good for you to inhale, but really? are you going to hold your lighter there until the thing runs out of gas while you are still holding the gas button and inhale the whole time? If you do do this, you deserve to be poisoned in my opinion. Its called natural justice, if your an idiot, you deserve to get hurt.
um, when the lighter goes out I do turn it off as quick as I can. I was having trouble, because I mostly smoke outside. When it's windy it's a bitch to get the lighter to light and stay lit so everytime you can get it you try to ram it into the bowl as far as you can so it stays lit. I usually smoke out of tobacco pipes(smoother hits, cheaper, more common, ect...). They usually have huge bowls so instead of holding the lighter over the pipe it's usually pretty much inside of it. That's why when the ligher goes out while I'm inhaling I'm pretty sure I get a good dose of chemicals. I wasn't really sure if the shit in lighters is bad for you or if anyone had really looked into how it could harm you.
hey bud i would suggest a different pipe and a new place to smoke if possible. But even with a traditional tobacco pipe, corncob, etc., you can still hold the flame just a bit above the bowl and inhale, the heat from the flame will naturally spark the bowl. And thus, never touching the bud with the flame of the lighter. And incase your worried about the "gas" in a regular lighter......it's called butane....google.com is a great place to obtain information.
if you think just doing that is harmful for you then you should see these idiots that keep the top of their lighter in there mouths and push the gas button and keep it going for like 20 seconds and the take it out, light it and blow it so it basically looks like a flame torch
dude dont hate...i o that to impress the ladies, but then something always goes horribly wrong....like burning eyebrows off or it not working at all. so yea its a stupid idea, i think ill stop doing it
In a lighter is butane. I had a friend that used to huff butane because it makes you hallucinate for up to 5 mins, but she generally used quite a lot, about the amount 8 lighters could hold. The little bit you could accidentally get in your lungs will do nothing, you breath worse shit in through the air on this planet right now. Sad but true.
