Quick lighter trick

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I thought I'd share this fire starting trick. I recently replaced the innards of my perennially-out-of-fuel Zippos with those fancy plasma lighters, which have been working great. The only problem is transferring the flame to hard-to-reach kindling.

I've seen people using paraffin-saturated jute or cotton string, but I have found that regular making tape does a better job. You can stick it directly where you want the flame, it stays wrapped tightly on the lighter, and you have makeshift sticky notes or bandages whenever you need!

Cheers,
David

*making tape = masking tape... Phone typing...

I also forgot to mention that wax clogs up these lighters really easily, but there is no such problem with the tape.

Masking tape. I never would have thought of that one.  Cool idea.
