- What are common lighters?, excluding refillable butane ones.
Liquid fuel lighters (mostly Zippo) today have niche uses but exist mostly for retro appeal, and metal matches are especially obscure, for good reason As a hobbyist I wouldn't mind having a metal match, but for practicality it's hard to beat a Bic For outdoor use if you want a failproof backup, I'd go with storm matches and or a ferro rod
- The Bic lighter is, as of now, the pinnacle of fire making
Bic lighters, never really been a fan of them, even when I was a smoker The one thing they have going for them is they are cheap and available pretty much anywhere Any day I would choose a Zippo over a Bic As far as Bics being the pinnacle fire making, I say they are just one of many ways to start a fire

- Arc Lighter - Bushcraft USA Forums
I had one of the lighters that was a single stream of plasma and I had to recharge it constantly 3 Will it travel through a thicker piece of material that makes for a really poor conductor?

- best lighters for the money? | Page 2 | Bushcraft USA Forums
I like Zippo lighters, but the aforementioned evaporation issue always aggravated me Even with the ranger band hack, it didn't perform the way I want it to I've tried upgrading my Zippo with the Thunderbird butane insert, which was an improvement in terms of the evaporation issue, but made the lighter more fickle in the cold (in my experience)
