When you are stuck at home, and it's too late to run to the store, and you run out of lighters, what do you do?

Do you have a stashed pack of matches?
I don't, but i should.
I ran out of lighters last night, and had to use the stove!:D
It worked fine though, but I'm going to buy some new ones today, so I won't have to turn the stove on just to light a cigarette.

So, tell me, what do you do when you run out of cigarette lighters?
Do you just go without a cigarette?

I stock up on packs of cigarettes, I make sure I have at least 2 packs all the time., Same with lights, I make sure I have a few stocked up all the time. I also have matches and a Zippo. :)

But in the event of if I ever did run out of any supply, I can go days without a cigarette.

You can go days without?
You have more willpower then me!:D
I think I will buy a few boxes of matches for the next time I run out.
Thanks for the response.

No problem, and yes I can go days without, I do it now and again even when I do have all the supply :)

This has happened to me quite a few times, my partner always seems to go to work with the new lighter or the one with the most fluid in it & i usually get 1 cigarette lit before the lighter he's left dies completely!
I don't smoke in the house so i cant use the stove but i have, more than once, used a lighter from the car, i just turn the car on so the radio is going (but not the engine) & then i push the lighter in & wait.
We have 3 cars but my good car doesn't get smoked in (i didn't wanna stink it out & we have a baby) so i use my partner's car because 1) he smokes in it when he uses it & 2) my 2nd car is missing the lighter!
I usually send the other half a message once i realise i haven't got a lighter any more & get him to pick one up for me on the way home from work!
I have tried going without the cigarette & it works for a while but i can only handle going without, for so long!

When I run out of lighters, which I did a couple days ago because I left my last one out in the rain.. oops.. I just use matches. I usually have some because the casino gives them out free and I'm always taking some from there. But if I don't have matches then I use the stove, like you said. I hate doing that though because it makes my face get all hot as I'm trying to light it. One time my boyfriend thought it would be a better idea to light a sparkler on the stove and use it to light a candle and then use the candle. He was also stoned so I let him go with it. He felt like a genius lol

Yes, the stove can be a savior, but, he does tend to get quite hot!:D

Thanks for the response.

The trick is not to run out of lighters.I bought a big box of these cheapy ones off ebay.There's like 50 lighters in the box so it's going to take a really long time to use them up.I hate having to use the stove.;-)

I used to light on the LPG stove to light the Cigars, when I was a smoker. I had a lot of bad experience of running short of the cigars and matches while stuck at home.

Once I had to walk in the night about three kilometers to the next city to get the cigars. Anyway, I quit the habit five years back. so I dont have the problem of matches and Cigars.

I've used my stove a few times. I also have a butane "stick" lighter that I use to light the grill -- it's about a foot and a half long and shaped like a match.

Hello Jennifer,
When I run out of lighter, something I do quite often. I use stick matches. I tried using the stove, but the bong water kept running out the carb and that stinks like bad body odor. Since then I started using wooden stick matches. I go through a lighter a week, that's sad.
Peace, Totty/Shades

I have used the stove before......lol quite a few times. I have not done it in a long time though. I guess you could run to the car and see if the ashtray lighter works?


pshiv29 (81)  4 years ago

Oh yes... another stove-user here...haha. I get the packs of lighters tho, the cheapies... I'll get 2 or 3 packs at a time, but we've used the stove before too. We have a little desk sized basket that we keep 'em in, in the drawer of the desk. sometimes, if there's no lighter in sight without going to the desk, I'll use a candle lighter thingie... we use that for the BBQ too...lol.
