BIC lighters are everywhere — gas stations, checkout counters, your friend's drawer. They're cheap, familiar, and disposable.
But "cheap" adds up, and when performance matters, BIC simply can’t compete.
Enter jet lighters — powerful, windproof, and refillable. Let’s see how they compare.
BIC Lighters:
Pros:
- Easy to find
- Inexpensive
- Disposable (no need to refill)
Cons:
- Not windproof
- Non-refillable (landfill central)
- Weak flame and no adjustability
- Plastic body feels cheap
Jet Lighters (Like NAAR):
Pros:
- High-intensity windproof flame
- Sleek designs that actually look good
- Refillable butane system = long-term value
- Precision flame control
Cons:
- Slightly more expensive upfront
The Real Cost of “Cheap”:
Buy a BIC every week? That’s $75+ a year.
Buy one NAAR jet lighter, refill it as needed? Under $15/year.
