Clippers will always be the best lighters, at least for smokers. The fact I can collect the designs and reuse them is one thing, but that removable tool is perfect for packing down bowls or joints. Not to mention the flint.. it’s everything you want from a professional lighter that you plan to keep with you forever but still cheap enough to throw out and replace in a second

[@stoojona1402]

The collectable aspect along with the tool do make them an essential part of a stoners toolkit, no doubt! Only bad point is that they tend to go missing. A lot. And the cooler or rarer the design the higher the chance of them accidentally on purpose ending up in one of your mate's pockets by the end of the evening right?! Haha!

A clipper actually fits perfectly inside of a 410 shell casing! My friends and I would scour the farmers fields looking for different ones so we could personalise our clippers when I was about 13 maybe 14 yrs old. I would burn a hole in the casing and attach a small metal ring to it, then make a rope for it so I could hang it round my neck so nobody could 'accidentally' pocket it. Looked pretty dope too, well for a 14 year old metal head anyway, haha!

Jeff Jeff Jeff you forgot the most important part! Long ago I never could understand why I couldn’t get my refillable lights to fill up. No matter how big a butane bottle I used or how new it was I could only get any lighter to fill about less than half. I finally found out that right before you refill a lighter you have to push the fill valve down to release the gas pressure left in the lighter . Then your lighter will fill completely up. Thanks for the videos Get up the good work!

The clipper is reusable so its friendly to the environment, less plastic waist. It can be used to stop a wasp entering a bottle and when on the piss let's you know your beer bottle you are drinking from when you come back from having a piss. Its got lots of other uses as well

[@SlavicCelery]

@@mikepants35 Maybe some of them. Ace brand disposables are from Zippo, king brand are from scripto. Most of the other brands that I have double checked are from scripto. Needless to say, a standard bic lighter is far superior any of the seethrough plastic versions. Not just because they don't break as much, and are longer lasting. But because you can use just some car keys to easily pop out the child safety feature. The transparent lighters use a double wheel system for safety that always is more annoying.

Awesome review, I love Clippers. Just a small tip, you should not shake your butane canister. You want the butane to settle to the bottom, you don't want the propellant to mix with the butane when you refill. Turn it upside down, wait a second and fill.

[@stinkycheese804]

It makes very little difference, shaken or not, because it takes a second to turn it upside down and put on the lighter so by then, the liquid is at the bottom and any mixed with air, will unmix long before you've emptied the can much. SO, don't shake them because there's no purpose in doing so.

Clippers are great for all the reasons you mention and my go-to lighter for EDC, I smoke so always have at least one on me. Also they come in smaller sizes (at least here in the UK) and these are great for keeping in coin pockets if you want to go ultralight, or for throwing in pouches and bags as backups if you are hiking or camping. Having said that, the best type of lighter to have in a survival kit, which you don't use and save for emergencies, is the Bic, because these are filled up in a factory under pressure and sealed and hold far much more gas than you can get in any refillable lighter. I had a full size Bic which I used every day a lot and it lasted me over 6 months.

[@nikolaiturcan6963]

It's nice that he chose to be very polite and genuine in his apreciation of this Lighter, (which most stoneheads use) plus it's also amazing that he wanted to share a delicate moment of his life with this Audience , I think that's very Brave and I get it when he says that's almost like keeping him present, It's Kind.

[@Eddythebandkid]

I have an $8 fuel bottle (maybe 1.5x the size of your bottle there) and have refilled my clipper (and other lighters but clipper is my EDC) at least 15 times and there is still about half the can left. It really is great. I love that you got the point about how when you light a bowl it gives you a bit of extra flame AND the star shaped wheel!

[@cmdann8]

Idk if that was an intended design, but just gravity and liquid being pushed out instead of gas, so you have more butane, as seen by big flame. I'd be care smoking like that thought. Butane ain't good to inhale. And you do inhale it quite frequently.

[@SuperMIKevin]

I've always preferred the way these look compared to Bic But I've never owned one. And I had no idea they were refillable. Thank you for a great review.

Now the 2 of us is gona by clippers so we can refuel them. Bic can also be refueled but BUT theres like a small plastic ball that you press in from the lighters bottom side.

The fact that you can refill this lighter is great. The only problem with the clippers compared to bic is that they do not always ignight from the first time. Sometimes you need to try three or four times before you get a fire. Bic always works from the first time. If you remove the safety cap from bic, which is easly done, you also do not need to press so hard to get it going.

I repair the still fueled ones, too, and just for fun, but I prefer the Clippers, they feel a bit more durable than standard gas station BICs, and the cylinder shape feels better in pocket IMO.

I still have a custom strider smf with nightmare grind, an Emerson and a Fallkniven F1 pro. I miss a lot of knives that i cannot get anymore though. Glad to hear you mention gus, may he rest in peace i remember him fondly from your old videos. I like these clippers but i like Bic more still.

[@TexasRigged]

Yes! I only use Clipper lighters, I always try and educate my friends about the little hidden secrets that Clippers hold.

[@josephdelacroix9798]

As you should. They also make a jet and push button lighter too.

[@danjames5552]

I once had a clipper lighter that had a metal button that you hold down for gas to come out and the flint stem that is plastic was also metal!!! And you could adjust the flame size by a slide thing on the front!!! It is the only one of the type I have ever seen ! It was mustard in colour and looked the same as any other clipper ! This was back in the late 1980s and belonged to my dad and I borrowed it for the night and lost it !!!! I have looked for years and never found another or anyone who has seen one !!!

[@jonnyreggae100]

I remember the ones where you could adjust the flame, I can’t remember exactly when but guessing mid 70’s in UK.

[@Kilo7K824]

the lighters fill in like 5 seconds u dont gotta hold it that long . i noticed that when i filled my clear one.

[@thehardyboys4227]

I love clippers. Have all sorts. I have a few that I have even collected from the street grounds that were dried up. Took them inside, cleaned them up, filled them with gas and are still kicking.

R.I.P. Gus 🙏🏻 gone but never forgotten

[@hkr321hkr]

Thank you I learned about the flame size when tipping and I needed to thank you. I just wish there was a window to see the fluid in mine. But oh well. Nice lighters and thanks for the video.

[@IamBATMAN2024]

You’ve done 3 videos on this lol. Clippers are the best lighters ever made especially for the price.

[@zacharydummpfiff9837]

Thanks a lot. I knew that they are refillable, but not that the flame increases when held upside down. Great!

[@brayanrodriguez1268]

When's the last time sparked up a candle with that raw lighter? ;)

[@ThatDudeDeven]

lmao yea I was like uhhhh huh "candle" haha

[@hellbound0086]

Last night and lit a dragons blood incense

[@paulahamilton7290]

This video is on fire listening to him gas has set a spark under me and lit up my day!

[@Mempavrai]

real homies use the flint of a clipper as a poker

[@KayDeePea416]

Thank you for the info, very clear and thorough! May Gus Rest In Peace. 💗

[@BLACKOPS6391]

Jeff you pothead, those are stoner lighters lol

[@CoryHatfield]

Jeff has/had some interesting story times in the past about the good bud. :)

[@cutlerylover]

not unless you light weed with them lol...They are great lighters in general...

[@faroleiroz]

wow!!!! I had learn so much with this video!!! Amazing how a cylinder shape fits better in human hands. and impressive how with a spark and gas we got a flame. This modern world technologies keep amazing me! Keep on the good work, always good to laugh about something that was not made to laugh about it.

[@jean-lucchessher7065]

Fun fact from the factory a clipper has a low pressure butane in them

[@LindaS.-ex4yv]

I never knew. I'm a huge Bic lighter fan. I have mason jars full of "collectables". Now that I know, gonna grab one up. Thanks for the info!

[@aoibhinnomahony7712]

The flint being removable isn't just for replacement.... Its also for packing joints

[@flurgy22]

These clippers are just full of neat tricks. Great video 📹 👍

[@DavesRange]

Reefer lighters

[@jeffclarkofclarklesparkle3103]

I did not know... or about the better flow upside down. Thanks buddy!!

[@mitchhifi9192]

Clippers break easily, Bic will last until the gas runs out. I've had numerous clippers break on me

[@briecheeser23]

Thank you for this! Thank you I knew they were reusable but thought it was a harder process. I didn't know that the flint comes out!

Wow. Thanks. I'd never heard of these before. Definitely going to buy these instead of Bics from now on.

[@kd4dhk]

The longer flame when tipping it over is dependent on the length of the tube that leads to the outlet. If it almost reaches the bottom then, when upright, there is liquid being forced most of the way up the outlet tube. When tipped over, only the vapor is able to enter the outlet tube which can be accelerated faster by the pressure in the lighter.

[@5688gamble]

Clippers are a great all round utility lighter, if you are a smoker, these are what you want in most cases, they can be very reliable, occasionally the fill valve will fail but I've got a clear clipper here that's over a year old, may occasionally need to stretch the flint spring but other than that. I find the best way to light things like candles is to place the base of the lighter against the heel of your hand and use your index to light it, extend your reach so it doesn't burn you, also works well if you're needing a new flint but you still have a weak spark.
