For on-the-go lighting of birthday candles (those surprise birthday parties really get you), homemade explosives (because making stuff explode is fun), and cigarettes, a cheapo BIC lighter is a totally awesome fix. But most BIC lighters run out pretty quickly and get tossed without second thought.
The next time you finish a lighter, check out this eco-friendly tutorial to learn how to take the lighter apart so you can recycle its components. Because being green is super sexy.
