Perfect to start your winter fires
Great for candles and fireplaces. Long lasting and easy to use.

The Ergonomics of BIC lighter is very poor.
#1: The SAFETY BUTTON is at an angle making it hard to push. #2: The PIEZO TRIGGER is hard to pull. #3: The PLASTIC is very slick making it hard to grip. #4: The FLAME is not adjustable. #5: The FLAME is too yellow indicating poor air to fuel mix. THE GOOD: #1: The flexible nozzle. (The nozzle was the reason I purchased it)

Terrible purchase
Just bought and it's a flame thrower calibrated wrong from the factory. The flame is 3" long and hisses. Dangerous lighter. No adjustment like the old type. Returning.

Doesn't work and NO instructions
I bought one at the grocery store. They were half price. It doesn't work. I found a video on YouTube showing how to use it. (I had already tried that, but thought there might be another step.) Instructions do not come with the lighter (only warnings) nor on their website. Terrible.

Wouldnt recommend this one
I literally need to use both my hands just to get this stupid thing to light. And whoever thought it was a good idea to put the QR code for the instructions near the edge of the package where it tears open should be fired. The QR tore in half and obviously i couldnt scan it with my phone.

Its okay
It worked well, but not as good as we would’ve liked. You can’t see how much fuel is left in the lighter.

No flame control
The flame is way too big and there's no flame control. This saves BIC money on tge manufacturing line, but wastes butane and will need to be replaced sooner. Next time I'll buy Scripto long lighters.

Quality Issues
The overall quality of the lighters are the reason I’m only rating this a so-so purchase. One of the large lighters was very hard to light (very stiff mechanism) and if it was windy forget it. I use these to burn trash and yard waste and after only using the lighter a handful of times I added it to the fire pit as well as it just would not light.

Best flame in a lighter
This is the only brand and lighter I’ve used for over 10 years! The flame is really strong and long perfect for those half used candles reaching the wick!

"Safety" Feature Makes Usage Almost Impossible
I get it: Legal and an overzealous team of engineers probably designed this safety feature (the incredibly stiff thumb lever) to reduce liability arising from child hands getting ahold of the lighters and starting a fire. But my own thumb is absolutely throbbing right now from trying to keep that stupid lever depressed while squeezing the trigger with my index finger long enough to actually light a campfire. I gave up. There will be no campfire. It's a lighter. You've over-engineered and overthought it. As a mechanical engineer, I have a high confidence in my observation and statement. Enough already.

Great if You Get the Right Item!
The first time I ordered this, I was given a swim cap! Because it was a lighter, the app would not let me do a return. I had to jump through the corporate hoops in order to finally get a refund and then reorder. When I finally received the right product, it works great except it is a little harder to light than my previous ones. The buttons are very hard to push down.

Versatile flexibility
Love the flexible wand for lighting candles. Didn’t need 10 but cheaper to buy this way.

Worked great until it didnt... now what?
I used this lighter so much for many different things, and it worked great. Yet, the lighter looks great, like it would work great, but has not gas. So... it seems like a big waste not being able to refill it... is that it? This item would be perfect if we could refill it.

Hard to light
My husband and I both have some difficulty lighting this. You have to push extremely hard to move the "safety" forward with one finger and pull the trigger with another. Why can't I find a straightforward lighter?

Lenght
I am scared of the small lighters, so I buy these and fear has been gone!
