Does anyone knows a non-piezo gaslighter smaller than the BIC Slim? http://www.bicworld.com/inter_en/bdd/product_light.asp?product_id=11
Here at the forum I weren?t able to find a good hint <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Thanks

The Bic mini is real small, I think it is only about 2" long.

Wait, hmm, auf Deutsch es ist nur 50mm lange. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The mini is the smallest vs mini/slim:

MINI

MINI/SLIM

If used to survival kit be shure to do this:
Mini BIC lighter w/ cable tied actuator to inhibit leakage

I've been taking German in school for about 5 years now. I don't think I am all that great though. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I have been on a quest for a long time trying to find a butane lighter significantly smaller than the mini Bic. So far I have had no luck. If anyone knows of such a thing, please share. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Thanks

I believe the Djeep lighter is a better unit and they make a small version.

Their website sucks. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hardly any information about their lighters (how big they are, whether they come in more than one size, where to buy them) - nothing! Just a bunch of pretty moving pictures.

Over here in the far east, the smallest and thinnest I have found is this thin lighter in the attached pics, with the ruler and AA Duracell for comparison.
Sorry for the fuzzy pics, it's with my phone camera <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

The local Walgreens by my house had something like that. It was marked as being able to fit inside your cigarette pack.

Might have to go back and get some.
