One of my favorite perks from switching to vaporizers is that I am not creating this particular type of plastic waste. People don't seem to realize how much plastic is in a single bic lighter. Dozens of plastic bottles worth of plastic.
Edit: I should've said "several" water bottles not "dozens." I googled the weight of a bic lighter and a bottle and it's probably 2 or 3 water bottles.
Ummm Zippos would like a word with you. Or matches..... Or hemp wick..... Like if that's really your concern there were plenty of options.
I rocked rechargable electronic arc lighter with hemp wick when I still did combustion I believe its a pretty solid combo if youre gonna smoke traditionally. Zippo has electric arc inserts but the cheap no named work okay too.
Burning hemp wick still adds soot and extra carcinogens but its arguably better than inhaling butane.
Vaporizers effectively cut out the need for hemp wick consumption and electric induction heaters paired with something like a dynavap make it so there's no need for butane/gas flame.
