<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 384640, member: 360"]A 'permanent match'. Basically it has a wick, and a flint, and inside the container is a whole heap of cotton wool soaked in fuel (lighter fluid or gasoline). </p><p><br /></p><p>You whip it out and strike it across the bottom of the container. The flint sparks across the ridges and sets the wick on fire. Fun as a gimmick, but I've never considered them very effective as a type of lighter. Or maybe I just suck at using them. Either way, that's how they work. Some lighter-fluid, cotton balls and a fresh wick and flint will sort that thing out no problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
