Hi there,

I've used different kinds of lighters... I would choose a Bic or Mini-Bic. They are reliable and cheap. Unless you have a specific need (for example, lighting up when motoring across a windy lake), I wouldn't bother with a Zippo and it's flints, refueling, fluid dried up after two weeks, etc.

The Zippo has it's crowd, and I like it myself, but for your situation, I would go with a disposable Bic.
