Invader_Gir Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 In one of my chemistry books, it says that there were some high quality lighters that didnt have flints or electric thingies to ignite the fuel. There was a platinum ring around the fuel outlet, and when the fuel was released, it would make the fuel ignite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
