Just throw some fuel down on a hard surface, preferably glass or a mirror, and strike it with your flint, Duh! I'm not going through all this hell to light a freaking blunt! Done it a thousand times.

if you have 2 lighters that won't light because they're out of fuel, put one in each hand and hold the two tops, the metal parts together and strike either one , one of the lighters will produce flame , you can get a dozen or more lights this way , but be careful to hold them as steady as you can , the smallest movement will actually cause them not to light .

You're joking, right? For a bit lighter, it's called a push pin and a can of butane. Grab your lighter, turn it upside down, and locate the very middle of the lighter where you see the little hole that has been plugged with a small metal ball. Take said push pin and push it through the hole, then remove said push pin. If you shake the lighter, you will hear the little metal ball shaking around. Now take your can of butane and find the right fitting. You should have a fitting that fits perfectly in the little circle at the bottom of the lighter. Now take your can and place it up against the lighter with the fitting resting right in the hole. Now push the can of butane to start filling said empty lighter ( it literally takes about 1 seconds to get it full, then quickly remove can and use your thumb to cover the hole aomno butane escapes and quickly, use the push pin to push back through the bottom of the lighter and that will Now be your plug to keep butane inside the lighter. Once empty, repeat as many times as you would like. ...I hope this is a way easier and cheaper method to refilling your bic ,lighter

Also I keep all the lighters for parts for other lighters and I have fixed mini lighters of many different kinds. By keeping old ones and swapping out parts on a lot of them. Or I mean I'll save the little Flint stick out of old ones and wrap tape around it and then tape it to my first aid or one of camping packs, or fishing gear, any outdoor gear really.. just in case?
