    The lighter side of life

    Just out of curiosity what kind of lighter do people prefer to carry here on the forum? I used to use zippos a lot but had problems with how they eat through fuel. I have now been carrying an IMCO super 6700 lighter around for about a year and a bit now and have found it great. They are fairly cheap and I particularly like the 'candle' bit that you pull from the bottom - very handy for firelighting/stovelighting.

    So what are people's preferences when it comes to lighters?

    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Back when I was smoking I carried a zippo, whenever it was not lost. Else, whatever they had where I bought them...
