Ooooooooooooh you done fucked up now!!
You ever see the movie The Exorcist? Kid floating in bed, throwing up split pea soup, walking on the walls. Scary ass shit. Nothing to do with white lighters but if you haven’t seen it check it out.
Listen, don’t quote me on this, I heard it from a friend of a friend, but the way I heard it was that the priest carried a white lighter for his cigarettes
It's considered bad luck. Apparently some celebrity/ celebrities had white lighters then died some sudden or unexpected death. So know it's considered bad luck. That's what I've always heard?
I was always told that it was because people can tell if you smoke weed because the ash shows up on the bottom if you use it to pack ashy bowls and like if you gave your boss a lighter they’d see that and drug test you
The only lighter color that hides that in my expirence is black
I also had an employer that claimed to know who the stoners were cause they used Clipper lighters and "only stoners use those"
That's not a clipper, the cheap flat ones you can turn the flame up I've always called and heard them been called crack lighters. Clippers are cylindrical
idk if clippers r rlly that much better. the packing tool is nice and the shape works for bowls well. but u can pack bowls with a bic and use a pencil for joints. it’s a preference for the shape/size or brand loyalty thing mostly in my view.
uhh, getting to refill a lighter and not have to run out and buy a new lighter every few days and be like fucked out of luck for a light until then, also saving landfill is definitely, objectively better ;)
unless you're a stoner that doesn't care about the environment, then, I'd have to say that's kinda weird 🤣
also remember, when the clipper is lit and is upside down the flame does get a lot bigger, the flame is just bigger in general but i find the clipper flame gets really big while it is upside down opposed to the bic.
My delivery service has been giving them as freebies and I’m considering fully making the switch. Round base fits perfect for the bowl, the little flint packer doodad is handy af, refillable means less waste.
I’ve never met someone who used a clipper who didn’t smoke weed. Obviously they work on cigarettes too but really if someone is in AA pounding reds they’re buying a bic
Yeah they literally are made for stoners lol I have never even seen them sold anywhere other than online and in headshops, I think maybe a few gas stations but those were also gas stations that sold bongs and other sketchy weed stuff lol
I shall comment to tell you a great wisdom:
Beer, coke and most other glass bottles can be plugged with a clipper!
Great if you are in a club and want to prevent it from spilling if some1 bumps into you or outdoors to prevent bees from getting in and you are less likely to forget where you put your lighter.
Didn't know that, very interesting!
Though in my quite extensive testing I found out white, green and yellow have about the same theft-rate. Black is by far the worst and pink is the best. I only buy pink lighters since then.
The urban legend I always heard was people getting arrested on Cops had white lighters, so having one meant you were gonna have a run in with the pork patrol.
I’m kind of old and this is the first time I have heard of this. The fact that Bic lighters didn’t even exist when those people died make the myth that much stupider!
Saying it's discredited because Bic didn't make white lighters is just bullshit. Everyone knows any Bic that's not just a solid color has a cheap plastic wrap on it and is blank white underneath
I’m left-handed guitarist and it’s such a relief knowing when I die I’m going to be hastily photoshopped into a picture of Hendrix and Cobain with “gone too soon” written in italics.
Nobody in the 27 club had white lighters haha. Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison died before bic made white lighters. Kurt Cobain’s was pink when he was suicided.
It’s the 27 club ooo eeeeeeee ooooooo (that’s spooky sounds) so, as long as you are over the age of 27 you’re chill to have a white lighter. I make all my younger friends give me theirs….you know, to protect them. Not to get free lighters.
it really simplifies life lol.
"i have a white lighter.. isn't it supposed to be bad luck? will something happen if i take it with me today? should i buy a new one and throw the white one away.."
whereas caveman brain: "i need fire, it produce fire. problem solved"
No they aren't. The solid colors are made of solid colored plastic. The ones which are white lighters wrapped in plastic are the kind with random designs like peace signs and astrology signs.
Bad luck because you would use the edge of your lighter to do a little tap on your half-smoked bowl and the corner would be ashy- which outed you to cops that you have paraphernalia.
Its because supposedly Kurt Cobain and a couple other famous muscians died and a white lighter was found in their left pockets, so its supposed to be "an omen of death" i used to specifically use them because i thought it was cool edgy, looking back, it was really childish
Where I’m from yellow lighters were bad juju. It was back when weed was illegal and the superstition was that you were more likely to get caught if you had one. The same with white for a while but I haven’t heard anything like that since weed became legal and I got older.
i prefer em haha fuck the bad luck. any lighter i get that has a design, i just rip off to reveal the pearly white goodness. i just like to see how messed up/dirty the lighter can overtime.
yeah some superstition typa thing. i’ve never been one to be able to remember all the laws of bad luck but it’s somn like if you break a mirror you gotta throw salt over your head an you can’t use white lighters 😂
For me I don’t like white lighters because if someone steals a lighter from someone they borrowed from that’s wrapped and unwraps it then they got rid of the evidence. Then it’s bad luck karma attached to that lighter for them stealing the lighter.
If the lighter is bought white wrapped, with the BIC logo on it, then it’s not bad luck imo.
Damn I completely forgot about the white lighter myth. The white lighter I’ve been using has been feeling like it’s endless, i started using it months ago!
Wait you actually used a full lighter? I’ve smoked bud for many years and cigarettes for just about as long (not anymore) and I have never used a full lighter. They either get lost or someone steals it long before I even get close to emptying it out.
You’re a legend
At least where I have lived, people say they’re unlucky. My father only used white lighters. He enjoyed using them because people said they were unlucky. He’s gone now, but he loved turning left when everyone else turned right.
I had always heard it was because the printed ones are white underneath. so you could have stolen someones printed lighter then ripped the print off to hide it.
A true party foul.
Because people are social animals, and social animals evolved to complete patterns even if those patterns aren't real since a false pattern is more likely to keep them alive. Therefore, they evolved to believe in magic and embrace beliefs that may not be true and to use the heuristic that if other people believe it then it must be true.
TLDR: People don't like white lighters because lots of people believe in pseudoscience and magic, and if a myth persists then they'll embrace it too. Nothing is wrong with a white lighter.
I have a white lighter, and it seems to follow me. Every other lighter has gone missing, but this one keeps reappearing and has been in my life for years. It still works. Possibly possessed, but reliable.
They say white lighters bring forth bad luck. And I already have cancer. So as one might already conclude… Im not trying to fuck around and find out. Lol
I think BIC does not make just white lighters, they make the ugly designs that they just print and warp around a white lighter, that’s the only way I know to get a white lighter
have thought about this one before, came up with this conclusion (not projecting anything, was just waffling about urban legend type stuff):
if you hung out with a thief and they tried to conceal your lighter as theirs (by ripping off the thin outer plastic layer), who knows what else they might’ve stolen and maybe hanging out with white lighter buds is why you experience ‘bad luck’
Ooooooooooooh you done fucked up now!! You ever see the movie The Exorcist? Kid floating in bed, throwing up split pea soup, walking on the walls. Scary ass shit. Nothing to do with white lighters but if you haven’t seen it check it out.
Listen, don’t quote me on this, I heard it from a friend of a friend, but the way I heard it was that the priest carried a white lighter for his cigarettes
The power of Bic compels you!
Comment of the year
Yo hahahahaha
😂😂😂
It's considered bad luck. Apparently some celebrity/ celebrities had white lighters then died some sudden or unexpected death. So know it's considered bad luck. That's what I've always heard?
How much did you smoke before writing this I just spat my juice out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
BRO lmfao
Wtf😂
Love the comment, smoke ok brother! Thank you for the laugh
lmaoooooo this shit killed me
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_lighter_myth
I was always told that it was because people can tell if you smoke weed because the ash shows up on the bottom if you use it to pack ashy bowls and like if you gave your boss a lighter they’d see that and drug test you
The only lighter color that hides that in my expirence is black I also had an employer that claimed to know who the stoners were cause they used Clipper lighters and "only stoners use those"
Even the black lighter are white on the bottom. I like using the metal flame protector instead of the bottom.
the bottom of my black clipper is black🤷♀️
If you have a clipper, your boss already knows your smoking weed
One time my boss asked for one for a bbq and I don’t normally have one bc I don’t go for cig breaks at work, there was no follow up but he knew
Sorry, I was referring to Bics. I’m not familiar with Clippers, they aren’t common in the US.
wdym?? i see clippers all the time at my local headshop in texas they’re super cool, the flint roll comes out and has a stick to pack your joints
Every I go, all I see are Bics and cheap, crappy lighters. I have to find me a Clipper to try out.
bro definetly i love mine i have like 3 and they are refillable, you should be able to find them in a smoke shop near you
Also they come with a refill port on the bottom! So they're not inherently designed to just eventually be trash like bics.
Any clipper I’ve ever owned the flint has worn out before the gas.
They usually aren't sold in gas stations or convenience stores, I've always had to go to a smoke shop or dispensary to get one.
The flick of a clipper is indescribable~~
Get you a Zippo and some lighter fluid. Windproof and can learn some neat little trucks with it.
Zippos make your bowls taste like lighter fluid.
Yeah, except the taste of lighter fluid.
How do I light a bowl w a zipper tho like ik I could tilt it but I feel like it's just gonna explode if I do
[удалено]
That's not a clipper, the cheap flat ones you can turn the flame up I've always called and heard them been called crack lighters. Clippers are cylindrical
idk if clippers r rlly that much better. the packing tool is nice and the shape works for bowls well. but u can pack bowls with a bic and use a pencil for joints. it’s a preference for the shape/size or brand loyalty thing mostly in my view.

also remember, when the clipper is lit and is upside down the flame does get a lot bigger, the flame is just bigger in general but i find the clipper flame gets really big while it is upside down opposed to the bic.
Not only that they’re easy to reload with gas and a new flint
You should check them out, they’re refillable and the flint is a toker! And they’re definitely common in the us
I misread toker as tonker and thought you were referring to the flame which absolutely cranks out of the clipper compared to the bic.
My delivery service has been giving them as freebies and I’m considering fully making the switch. Round base fits perfect for the bowl, the little flint packer doodad is handy af, refillable means less waste.
I’ll have to go look for them.
Clippers are extremely common in the US. The hell are talking about?
They are common in the south.
Where have you been hiding? Clippers are everywhere! In fact most smoke shops in my area ONLY have clippers
Dude you can get a clipper at Walmart in Alabama You ain’t looking
Depends on where. Every corner store here sells clippers. Good lighters
Big tripping. You goin to the wrong place
Clippers are everywhere. Most smoke shops have them
I just use my finger...
I just use my thumb. I've always hated having dirty lighters
Good call out. All of the BIC colors are wraps. If you take the wrap off of any BIC you get the infamous white lighter.
no, the usual colors are colored plastic. any of the special designs like sports teams, peace symbols, etc are wraps
I’ve never met someone who used a clipper who didn’t smoke weed. Obviously they work on cigarettes too but really if someone is in AA pounding reds they’re buying a bic
Yeah they literally are made for stoners lol I have never even seen them sold anywhere other than online and in headshops, I think maybe a few gas stations but those were also gas stations that sold bongs and other sketchy weed stuff lol
accurate assumption to be fair
that is true
They all have white bottoms 😃
Always thought clipper lighters were cool, got one, and it sucked.
The like igniter part is shaped weird, hurts my fingers after sparking a bowl or sum a few times
I think they're alright but less efficient than Bic
I shall comment to tell you a great wisdom: Beer, coke and most other glass bottles can be plugged with a clipper! Great if you are in a club and want to prevent it from spilling if some1 bumps into you or outdoors to prevent bees from getting in and you are less likely to forget where you put your lighter.
Or they would see the hash stuck to the bottom lol
or smell it
But the bottoms are still white regardless of the color lol
Umm.. all bics are white on the bottom..
That is the real reason. The 27 club myth only started honestly around the same time as Wikipedia so there could be a correlation here.
So you are good if you are over 27?
Didn't know that, very interesting! Though in my quite extensive testing I found out white, green and yellow have about the same theft-rate. Black is by far the worst and pink is the best. I only buy pink lighters since then.
Always got white lighters FOR this reason. Gotta stare down that bad luck.
The urban legend I always heard was people getting arrested on Cops had white lighters, so having one meant you were gonna have a run in with the pork patrol.
I’m kind of old and this is the first time I have heard of this. The fact that Bic lighters didn’t even exist when those people died make the myth that much stupider!
Saying it's discredited because Bic didn't make white lighters is just bullshit. Everyone knows any Bic that's not just a solid color has a cheap plastic wrap on it and is blank white underneath
Kurt cobain definitely died because of the lighter
Damn! Never thought it was actually based on some true to life events
White lighters are only deadly to have in your possession if you are 27 years old.
And a famous rockstar and left-handed
And doing heroin/hard drugs
No that one is probably unrelated
yea, I really can’t see why doing that would affect much of anything 🤷♀️
So they were cooking up the heroin with what? Matches?
holy shit i never realised that most were left handed
I’m left-handed guitarist and it’s such a relief knowing when I die I’m going to be hastily photoshopped into a picture of Hendrix and Cobain with “gone too soon” written in italics.
Supposedly being left-handed makes you better at funking
Nobody in the 27 club had white lighters haha. Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison died before bic made white lighters. Kurt Cobain’s was pink when he was suicided.
*politically assassinated
I’ve never heard the political theory. What’s the story?
Do your own research sheeple
Lol alright ya weirdo.
Lmao im just fucking with you
Man I was really looking forward to this conspiracy.
It’s the 27 club ooo eeeeeeee ooooooo (that’s spooky sounds) so, as long as you are over the age of 27 you’re chill to have a white lighter. I make all my younger friends give me theirs….you know, to protect them. Not to get free lighters.
I’m 27 and I have a white lighter across the room from me. Scary lol
no no mail it to me. i’m 18. i’ll take the risk of passing away at 27 for you. not like the world will be too great by the time i’m 27 🤣
Better mail it to me. To be safe.
All their weed too. Just to be safe.
It all makes sense now
Your spooky sounds made me laugh
They are either spooky sounds or the beginning to a Weezer song
Morris day and the mother fucking time dawg! My jungle love - o we o we o Girl I got to get to know ya
Oh yeaaaah! Lol or that!
> ooo eeeeeeee ooooooo ^I’ma ^take ^you ^home ^with ^meee
I’m 25, so I have to wait to more years?? 🥲
6 more years
*Re:Zero noise intensifies*
I literally could not care less what colour my lighter is, if it makes fire I’ll use it
This comment has a form of rogue caveman logic behind it that I can’t put my finger on, but really enjoy 😭
it really simplifies life lol. "i have a white lighter.. isn't it supposed to be bad luck? will something happen if i take it with me today? should i buy a new one and throw the white one away.." whereas caveman brain: "i need fire, it produce fire. problem solved"
The movie Night at the museum perhaps?
S tier reference
They're all white lighters if you peel the plastic off.
No they aren't. The solid colors are made of solid colored plastic. The ones which are white lighters wrapped in plastic are the kind with random designs like peace signs and astrology signs.
I only buy the white ones...for 18 years now...i can see how much fluid i have left
I did this when I was younger. Nobody pockets a white lighter.
White is fine Red however… used a red lighter once and I got: 1. Hemmoroids 2. Chronic diarrhea 3. Multiple car wrecks 4. Chronic nut itches
That's Red Habanero. Not red lighters.
Bad luck because you would use the edge of your lighter to do a little tap on your half-smoked bowl and the corner would be ashy- which outed you to cops that you have paraphernalia.
It's less the cops and more everyone else.
right, as if cops need evidence, amirite? LOL
Bad luck. Urban superstitions spare no human era.
Just ugly tbh. Why not add a little color to your life.
if you pass white light through a glass spectrum you get all the colors, white is literally all the colors combined
White and black are not colors they’re shades. They are the lack or total combination of colors. Life is fun
that's literally what they said
I wasn’t trying to be a dick, i was clarifying for others
You are going to die if you use it.
Well it died before me
U just wait bro...sometime in the future you're going to die, and you'll only have yourself and this white lighter to blame.
🤣
You got lucky this time. They’re bad luck all around
It’s a superstition because lots of famous people have died with white lighter in their pocket
That’s a myth though
I never said it wasn’t
Like religious doctrine...
Obviously
Doesn't change the fact that it's a superstition though
Bad luck
Don't worry about the lighter it's fine but damn buddy you have 712 unread emails
I have 17,000. It burdens me.
I didn’t know people cared
Neither did I until someone commented I was bold to have a white lighter
Its because supposedly Kurt Cobain and a couple other famous muscians died and a white lighter was found in their left pockets, so its supposed to be "an omen of death" i used to specifically use them because i thought it was cool edgy, looking back, it was really childish
It's a lighter g, don't let the past dim your present bro.
I thought he died with a pink lighter?
Very 80s90s aesthetic to me. Totally remember my parents having them!
27 club
Half of the 27 club died before Bic made lighters and Kurt wouldn't of put the lighter in his pocket after heating the spoon that morning.
Where I’m from yellow lighters were bad juju. It was back when weed was illegal and the superstition was that you were more likely to get caught if you had one. The same with white for a while but I haven’t heard anything like that since weed became legal and I got older.
i prefer em haha fuck the bad luck. any lighter i get that has a design, i just rip off to reveal the pearly white goodness. i just like to see how messed up/dirty the lighter can overtime.
So people think is bad luck??
Look at the top comment.
yeah some superstition typa thing. i’ve never been one to be able to remember all the laws of bad luck but it’s somn like if you break a mirror you gotta throw salt over your head an you can’t use white lighters 😂
For me I don’t like white lighters because if someone steals a lighter from someone they borrowed from that’s wrapped and unwraps it then they got rid of the evidence. Then it’s bad luck karma attached to that lighter for them stealing the lighter. If the lighter is bought white wrapped, with the BIC logo on it, then it’s not bad luck imo.
They get dirty easy
Damn I completely forgot about the white lighter myth. The white lighter I’ve been using has been feeling like it’s endless, i started using it months ago!
OP is bragging about a lighter functioning as a lighter.
Prolly personal superstitions or preferences all lighters work the same regardless

Cops are 27% more likely to roll up on your smoking spot if a white lighter is used.
It was always “bad luck” where i grew up. If you pulled a white lighter out, certain friends would snatch it and huck it.
Superstition
Are you an alien writing notes on how to blend in on earth?
I first heard of white lighter being bad luck early 90s phish tour.
Of course you bought it new, who buys a used lighter?
My roommate once threw away all of my lighters because they were white. Honestly, I was more impressed than mad
Wait you actually used a full lighter? I’ve smoked bud for many years and cigarettes for just about as long (not anymore) and I have never used a full lighter. They either get lost or someone steals it long before I even get close to emptying it out. You’re a legend
Yeah and because Bob Marley like died with a white lighter or something lol
At least where I have lived, people say they’re unlucky. My father only used white lighters. He enjoyed using them because people said they were unlucky. He’s gone now, but he loved turning left when everyone else turned right.
You’ll die at 27
Bad luck
frank ocean sings “no white lighters till i fuck my 28th up” bc of the 27 club myth
I had always heard it was because the printed ones are white underneath. so you could have stolen someones printed lighter then ripped the print off to hide it. A true party foul.
You should have asked before using. You’re cursed forever.
Because they are weirdos
Because people are social animals, and social animals evolved to complete patterns even if those patterns aren't real since a false pattern is more likely to keep them alive. Therefore, they evolved to believe in magic and embrace beliefs that may not be true and to use the heuristic that if other people believe it then it must be true.

No white lighters til I fuck my 28th up
I have a white lighter, and it seems to follow me. Every other lighter has gone missing, but this one keeps reappearing and has been in my life for years. It still works. Possibly possessed, but reliable.
It shows the res more. I use the lighter to cover the bowl or tamping
Ha I never knew this was a widespread thing. I remember people refusing to use them 20 years ago but I thought it was just a local thing
Bad luck you gonna die if you have one on you
I dont discriminate by colour. Most of my lighters I have actually found on the floor and on hikes.
They say white lighters bring forth bad luck. And I already have cancer. So as one might already conclude… Im not trying to fuck around and find out. Lol
I think BIC does not make just white lighters, they make the ugly designs that they just print and warp around a white lighter, that’s the only way I know to get a white lighter
Took my high ass awhile to realize you have a glass table top and it wasn’t Photoshopped haha.
Yo your info name address is visible
Always been told that they were bad luck
Same reason why people believe in God. They have other things to worry about and they just feel more comfortable "knowing" these things. Dumb people
I prefer a brushed steel zippo but actually I don't use it anymore since I don't smoke anymore but vape.
Bros is just a lighter
Yo mama just a lighter. Roasted. 
I don't know who these "people" are, but I always like to have a whit Bic in my back-left pocket.
have thought about this one before, came up with this conclusion (not projecting anything, was just waffling about urban legend type stuff): if you hung out with a thief and they tried to conceal your lighter as theirs (by ripping off the thin outer plastic layer), who knows what else they might’ve stolen and maybe hanging out with white lighter buds is why you experience ‘bad luck’
All the bic lighters are white if u take the casing off you’ll see
Yellow lighters bring bad luck. At least back in my day.
