A brief history of lighters

Typically, a lighter is made out of metal or plastic that has compartments filled with flammable liquid. Have you ever stopped for a second and wondered how lighters work? Let’s quickly dive into the history of cannabis, bong and cigarette lighters. The science behind is simple, yet quite fascinating. Whenever you flick the wheel of a cannabis lighter, the scratching on the ferrocerium (and not flint) creates a spark. While you rest your thumb on the lighter, a small amount of butane gas is released and gets ignited by this spark. Voila, there is fire. Such a simple mechanism that we often take for granted (imagine we would have to make fire using tinder, flint, and steel every time we light up a joint or cigarette). 

Thanks to the invention of ferrocerium and butane gas, modern cigarette lighters came into existence. Before the development of ferrocerium, the very first lighters were modified flintlock pistols that used gunpowder to light up a fire. The ability to create fire was particularly valuable for soldiers in the field, though it bore no resemblance to the cannabis lighters we use today, such as jet flame torch lighters. Moreover, the earlier versions were significantly more hazardous to use. Afterward, the German chemist invented a lighter that he coined “Feuerzeug”. The combination of sulfuric acid, hydrogen gas, and zinc led to combustions, however, sometimes they happened spontaneously, and it was also challenging to use. Fortunately, the invention of lighters has been much improved since then and now they are unmissable in our daily lives.

CLIPPER lighters

CLIPPER lighters were made in the 80’s and are now known all over the world. Nowadays, 450 million lighters are produced per year, making it one of the largest lighter manufacturers in the world. These lighters are often associated with stoners. The wick system of CLIPPER lighters is designed to be removable, making it an ideal tool for packing your joint more tightly. Alongside their diverse designs, all components of CLIPPER are designed to be dismantled and replaced, ensuring it can be a long-lasting flame companion. Additionally, CLIPPERS are refillable and utilize isobutane, a fuel option that's kinder to the environment and guarantees a superior flame quality.

At Sirius.nl, we provide CLIPPER lighters for cannabis and bongs, featuring exclusive Sirius branding! While our online collection of weed lighters showcases many options, visiting our stores will give you access to an even wider range of CLIPPER lighters.

Turbo lighters, jet flame and torch lighters available at our Headshop

If you’re looking for a flame hotter than what regular disposable lighters for weed can offer, consider the turbo lighter, torch lighter, or jet flame torch lighter. These devices work by releasing gas from a pressurized chamber while drawing in oxygen, promoting enhanced combustion. This process produces an incredibly hot flame, reaching temperatures of approximately 1300℃, making them perfect weed lighters. They’re particularly suited for those adorned with cannabis designs, like our Turbo lighter available in a variety of colors.

Turbo and torch lighters are not only great for lighting weed but also for use with blunts, bongs, and dab rigs, thanks to their intense and consistent heat output. Torches stand out as the best lighters for big rigs, such as large bongs or dab rigs, because of their powerful flame. They often include a “lock” switch, allowing users to maintain the flame without continuously pressing the gas button, ideal for lengthy dabbing and blazing sessions. These torches are refillable with butane, making them a reliable choice for daily use.

Additionally, the steady and strong flame of torch lighters is perfect for burning off any residue from glass pipes, ensuring a clean and efficient smoking experience. Be sure to explore our Easy Torch Jet Flame lighter, which offers the practicality and robust flame needed for superior sessions with bongs, dab rigs, and glass pipes.

FAQ

Here are some common questions asked by weed beginners and enthusiasts. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to contact our customer service.

What are the best lighters for stoners?

If you’re looking for the best lighters for stoners, several factors come into play. Price is a key consideration. Some stoners prefer inexpensive options, while others opt for high-quality lighters with eye-catching designs that add style and further functionality. Another important aspect is whether the lighter is windproof, a feature that's essential for those who enjoy smoking outdoors. We all know the frustration of trying to light a joint in the wind. Additionally, consider what you’ll primarily use the lighter for - whether it's for bongs, dabs, or just spliffs and joints.

What is the difference between a plasma lighter and a jet flame lighter?

Plasma lighters don’t rely on gas to create a flame; instead, they use electricity. Using plasma lighters rather than traditional lighters is one of the greenest ways to light your joints, and you can easily charge them like any other electronic device. On the other hand, jet flame lighters produce a consistent blue flame that is almost invisible in some cases and burns at a much higher temperature. Most jet flame lighters are refillable, so they last a long time and perform very well outdoors.

How can I refill my CLIPPER lighters?

First, shake your lighter to ensure there's no liquid left in the container; sometimes, shaking can clear small congestions in the tubes, allowing you to light a few more times. Next, flip the lighter around to locate the refill aperture at the bottom. Ensure you have the right butane gas; any high-quality lighter gas will work. Hold the CLIPPER upside down and straight while refilling to avoid air entering the lighter. Shake the butane container, then plug the gas refill into the lighter. Refill using short squeezes of a few seconds each, checking if the lighter is filled, and repeat if necessary.

What are the safety guidelines for using lighters?

It’s crucial to store lighters out of sight and reach of children in a secure location, and teach young children to tell an adult immediately if they find a lighter.
Avoid using a lighter if it has been compromised, such as after exposure to excessive heat or prolonged sunlight.
Avoid lighting fires in flammable settings and never ignite lighters near the face, clothing, flammable gas, or materials.
Allow lighters to cool down before storage to prevent burn injuries or fires.
Handle lighters with care to avoid strong shocks or impacts, such as dropping them from a height or crushing them with a heavy object.

What is hemp wick?

Hemp wick is a healthier and more environmentally friendly way to light your pipe or joint. Made from hemp fibers twisted into twine and coated in a thin layer of wax, it ignites easily and supports a smooth, steady burn. Hemp wicks come in various lengths, and the higher your consumption, the faster you'll go through it, but they last longer than other lighting devices. Switching to a hemp wick can improve your smoking experience by reducing any accidental inhalation of chemicals, saving you money, and benefiting the environment.
