Hello,

I just bought a Bic luminere lighter (only kind the store had) and cannot get the sucker open! I stabbed myself with a screwdriver trying to get it open, and I need some help. It sems like a stupid question, but the two halves just won't separate.

yea here- the nose part flips up, and there's a seam running down the middle of it, I just can't separate it

Smack it with a hammer, there's nothing too damagable in the insides.

most bics are very hard to open. i had to post a thread on how to get the butane set up out of a bic lighter. for mine i cracked the long nose thing were the flame comes out. it popped out and i was able to get a better view at the seam. it is mostly put togehter internally and that makes it a pain to open. if i were you i would get a different brand lighter but thats just my opinion. and i still havent opened the lighter. this might help you.http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/help-ge ... t6807.html it was the thread i posted.

specialist, the link doesnt work, but thanks guys, I think I'll try the hammer and vice, they're destructive enough for me

oh sorry im horrible with links but you can got to general spud cannon related and got to the fourth page and look for help getting butane out of a lighter. i havent checked it in awhile but there might be helpful things in it.

well I took it apart and it wont work, the butane tank is integrated with the piezo ignitor, and I broke a wire.

So I'll just have to go get a cheap regular long-nosed lighter I guess then

solder maybe?

nah it was way down in the plastic part, it's fine, I'll just go buy another regular one

Your a very subtle person. Are you by chance playing Savage the game?

K UPDATE: I purchased a Weber matchless flame lighter, but I don't want to take it apart if I don't know it will work, anyone have any experience with Weber lighters????
