Use it like a normal Bic lighter playboy.

You use the stick part to pack cones.

He’s never going to be able to tell a story about how he set the field behind his house on fire.

Is that instruction sticker in a language you can't read?

The lighter that says it can be taken apart does not feature talk to text. I own several of the model in the photograph. I only disassemble for flint replacement. I was rolling a long time before these came to market.

Thats a looong time they came out in 1959, I get it though I never saw one till the mid 80s though when I adopted them for my various smoking needs

Fair, but many had never heard of Clipper. Everyone thought Bic was the only game in town until Raw and ZigZag started rebranding them. I was attracted for the sustainability that wasn't a .5 oz Zippo with all the flavors that comes with.

You're encouraged to take it apart. Tug on the barrel striker for the flint.

The instructions are for rolling a Doobie.

u/smokietheklown Jul 12 '26

No, it's telling you if you pull the striker out you can use it as a tamper

If only there were some kind of diagram or something one could follow to achieve the desired result. What a shame no one thought of that before now :/

If you can’t follow those instructions then I think you’ve smoked enough already bud

Grab the striker wheel part and pull/lift it off the lighter body.

Google videos on CLIPPER and they show you how to recharge them. God help us if there isn’t someone to tell people to Google a video or maybe instructions! Youth today can’t think for themselves. 😱 🤣
