You need to smoke. You only have one lighter. You go to light up, but sure enough, your lighter is out of fluid.

Well, here's the solution. In an emergency, you can pry off the metal housing of the lighter. This will allow you to get a few more lights out of a dead lighter.

  • hell no once ur out of gas ur out of gas lol besides just get the ones where u dont have to work to get the top off with the switch or a refillable one

  • Dude, I've done this a million times. Trust me, it works. Your ignorance displays a total lack of scientific understanding of what causes the gas to burn. It's a combination of butane and oxygen. When the butane level is reduced to minimal amounts, the shroud around the lighter prevents the necessary oxygen for allowing the flame to burn. Removing the shroud allows the tiny amount of butane to mix with the extra oxygen, and creates the flame.

  • dude ive done this a billion times

    i take my cap off just to hack it lol. n make the flame into like a dam flame thrower once its outta gass its outta gas thats not even scientific, its just common sence thats when something runs out it just runs out lol. ur lighter oviously had a lil bit left in it just not enough to do with the cap on lol, but once its out its still gunnna b out lol

  • Okay, OBVIOUSLY the lighter still had fuel it in. The whole POINT is, that tiny amount of fuel won't burn unless you remove the shroud, allowing that last tiny bit of fuel to mix with the air.

  • DAmn your hands look cold xD

  • That's 'cause I'm so cool!

    *crickets are heard in the background*

  • thanks you got me high today

  • YES... I was out of fluid and already had a bowl loaded,

    I shall get high thanks to you :)

  • @chumbbo im missing a hand

  • thank u soooooooooo fucking much! saved me :)

  • @DrobotRecords make sure the wheel is directly above the tissue while doing so and do this for about 20-30 seconds, then all you have to do is spark the lighter on the tissue and it should flare up long enough to light a cigarette or use the flame to start a bigger fire,, this works very well and you can do it multiple times till the flint is gone..

  • IF THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FUEL LEFT YOU CAN STILL MAKE FIRE WITH A LIGHTER MULTIPLE TIMES!!! HERES HOW: first- remove the safety guard and wind block (the steel part that he removes in the video. second- take a piece of toilet paper or kleenex and pull apart the layers till you only have one, next shred the single layer of toilet paper/tissue about pinky nail size or smaller and place in a small pile. Third flip your lighter upside down and spin the wheel as if you are lighting it,

  • Hold down gas button and then roll the flint wheel (without the metal cap ) works every time
