Heres a mod to minimize the risk of your Bic lighter leaking in transport or storage (fig. A.). As well as a few others to make it more useful. Gotta love the blaze orange duct tape;)

Thanks,

Yeah, but I'm re-wrapping it as I write this because I forgot the damn lanyard:rolleyes:
 
That's the coolest idea I've seen in a while! Hope ya don't mind, I'm gonna link this in other similar threads.
 
Very well thought out! The only thing I might add is a tiny balloon over the business end under the last wrap of tape. Maybe tuck a needle in there with the blade?
 
That's awesome Tiros! I'll make up a few during vacation next week! Thanks for sharing!
 
GREAT IDEA.....I say that is the coolest lil dang kit I have ever seen. We should all make one and post pics of it. Great for the car or anywhere.
 
tiros.... that is awesome... i like it... :thumbup: :thumbup:

i use a mini-zip tie, for my bics.... the o-ring looks like it would work great..
 
That's why I love this forum...smart people coming up with great ideas!!:thumbup:
Helluva plan Tiros!
 
Great Job!!

The O-ring is genius. It solves the age old problem of the button becoming depressed and losing it's butane charge, for that part alone I give you my thanks!! The rest is gravy. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I agree, if we could put a water proof "topper" over the flint end, a balloon, plastic wrap, condom, that would be very cool.
A piece of saran wrap, with the O-ring would probably do the trick.
 
Well, the votes are in. Tiros gets to stay, and it looks like he will now be an accepted member of the pack, subject to all the hazing and ribbing he can endure. Now, they next question is... his new name. I nominate the name "PYROS" in honor of his creation, the survivor Bic. Now who is going to send one each to Bear, Tom, Les, and the others?

Skunk how do I tell my wife the condoms I just bought are "to keep my bic dry". I'll be sleeping in the back yard with the dogs.
 
Balloons from the dollar store work just as well, and they come in pretty colors too, just not flavors. And you can surely dream up an easy excuse to the wife to cover the purchase of some cheap balloons. Water balloon fights are fun with the one you love!
