lighters and matches

[MrRazot]

the beauty of this day and age means that you can
1) refill it
2) get a new one

wow two pages does any body think we should keep this going? it seems like a good little topic so i was thinking lets think of as many creative uses of lighters and matches as we can but no obvious things like figurines just try and think of cool uses.

[MrRazot]

What I like doing with matches can be dangerous but awesome.
What I do is, I take the box and hold it between my index finger and my palm.
Then I place with it's head on the strip and hold it upright with my thumb.
I then use fy other hand to flick the match which, if done correctly, should ignite and go flying forwards.

Well you know... I do agree with you. I love playing with lighters. Especially when my friends let them lose in their appartments. I play with them so much, that I think I can concider myself suffering with some minor case of pyromania O.o See, When I play with lighters, I don't only light them up over and over again... I pass my fingers until they burn a bit cuz I love the feeling of fire burning my fingers :I Also, I tend to put the flame over something that can catch on fire (like jeans, hair or whatever) and take it away a second before it can start to burn... So yeah... There's other stuff I do with a lighter so therefore, I can tell that I have a minor case of Pyromania because I can still control myself on how far I'll go with the fire.

Try getting soft iron and melting it over a bonfire than whipping it around, it looks like you have whips of lava, it's so awesome!

[sebflynn]

remind me to never piss you of anoni also if you add aluminum and ironoxide(rust) it creates a super hot powder that will burn through literally any thing hell it burnt through a car seriously so i would only use it in a open field with little wind very dangerous but very fun to play with cause you can add stones and make a awesome pool of lava and just dip stuff in it. and a great way to light it is by using a match not do not use a lighter this stuff is insanely hot and will cause severe burns. i would also recommend using very very small amounts and using a long fuse.

Just remember to be cautious and don't cause any harm to yourself or those around you.

[anoni]

Naturally.

That's why I advice, to everyone, to not burn plastic. It releases fumes that can be toxic.

I remember once when I was a kid... I found a lighter somewhere and I don't know why but I started to play with it around my old house's propane tank and I almost started a fire beneath it =/ At that time, I was like 8 and unaware of the danger of it Fortunately, my mom was there to prevent anything from happening.


But on another side, make burn some iron oxyde and you got yourself what we call "Thermites" that can make any metal melt Perfect for stealing banks    


And another thing I like to do is take two lighters, light up one and let out the butane out of the other one and light one lighter with the other. I think it's really cool. And sometimes, I like to light a lighter and fix the flame; I can fix it for a whole 10 minutes without giving attention to anything that revolves around me O.o

Lighting copper makes a pretty green flame

[MrRazot]

I like lighting magnesium

[sebflynn]

if you melt soy candle wax and have a high tolerance to pain you can stick your hand in a melted wax pile let it dry and your hand looks awesome.
also if you get a bonfire and put glass in it you can melt it you could then pick it up with an iron rod throw it against a wall and it goes awesome and splats crystallising looking really cool.

I like lighting magnesium

Try lighting Sodium!
you don't even need a lighter! (Water works just as well)
putting a drop of water on SODIUM METAL

[sebflynn]

if you look on the periodic table if you can get your hands on any of the alkaline or earth metals and set them on fire its amassing its like a little fire work except you know with the danger of loosing a limb or being deafened by the sound.
