  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Well... I bought this torch on my 18th birthday on my first ever trip to a B&M, and man has this little bugger been a workhorse. NEVER had any lighting problems or anything like that, tough the flip-top did break off recently (after almost three years and it was COMPLETELY my fault it broke)

My double flame Tiger lighter (custom :ccowboy:)


Sitting down, maxin' relaxin' and enjoying a 7-20-4 Corona, when I stand up, forgetting said lighter was on my lap, lighter falls to concrete.
And when I say explode, I mean EXPLODE! all I know is I heard a report like a small(ish) firework and my beloved lighter was in pieces on the floor

Ah man, I hate when that happens. Are you going to keep the pieces? Or at least the casing? I really like the way you put the bands on there.

The case was fortunately left intact. Picked up a new one of the same model today underwarranty, just haven't switched the cases yet, dont think I will I think I'm going to do the same thing with different bands and do a better job, that was a "Hey wonder how this would look" thing I guess you could say
