Crack Pipe Lighters

[Alan W.]

I have found the crack pipe lighters that are sold at the local gas stations, while I have not tried them for their intended putpose, are great for starting fires, heating heat shrink tubing etc. The problem I am having is when I refill them with the butane I have they quit. I called the phone number on the butane canister and was informed that the butane I had was not a good match for those lighters.
I thought butane was butane, but the rep informed me that unlike propane, butane has different formulations by manufacturer.
Anyone ever heard of this

sounds like someone is sampling the wares.

Yep! I use the liquor store crack lighters for my crack smoking all the time.

Why do you light cracked pipes, we just replace them

I just knew I shouldve posted this question in High Times instead

 

[goeduck]

Is the idea of the lighter to melt the crack in the pipe back together so it does not leak? I cannot see that working, but maybe if really, really hot.

What is different between N butane and ISO butane?

As nouns the difference between isobutane and butane. is that isobutane is (organic compound) a hydrocarbon, a particular isomer of c4h10 found in natural gas while butane is (organic compound) a hydrocarbon (either of the two isomers of c4h10 n-butane, and 2-methyl-propane) found in gaseous petroleum fractions. isobutane. English. Noun.

is probably what he was referring to, which may or may not be germane to what you asked him.
