Do the thing where you make the flint explode.

1 Take the flint and spring out of a spent lighter.

2 Wedge the flint in between the coils near the end of the spring.

3 Stretch out the rest of the spring 3-4 inches so you can hold the flint in another lighter's flame.

4 Hold it there until the flint is glowing red.

5 Throw it down on a hard surface in an open area (preferably at night) and it'll explode in a shower of sparks.

Stuart that's brilliant.

g-kit the lighter in question is a Ken-Jo lighter from the filling station less than a mile from my parents' house so it has sentimentalist value. But keeping around an old lighter that doesn't work is a bridge too far, even for me.

best lighter i ever had was my "BUY YOUR OWN FUCKING LIGHTER" one. it was refillable, but were it not, i would've kept it forever anyway.
unfortunately, i lost it. or some fucker stole it. bah.

also, can't you just buy a batch of them?

dog latin to do extend-o flame trick: take off metal "shield" thing that's over the lever that adjests the flame. push lever all the way to right. now push up on it so that it pops off the pin that's going through it, and then push lever to left. now push lever back down onto pin, and push the lever to the right again. HEY PRESTO singed eyebrows.

don't be so cheap just buy a new lighter and make that your favorite lighter. i tried to refill a non-refillable lighter once and the shit was never the same, just buy a new one and quit being a cheap-ass
