they haven't got bics over here. and all the lighters i've bought have been fucking janky. i got a two pack from the grocery store. both lighters had died within the week.
i bought a standard gas station lighter (which i think i was ripped off for, but i couldn't see the price because it was behind the counter, and i don't know enough czech to even consider arguing); it's one with the adjustable flame and all. well it's still like 75% full, yet is hard as fuck to actually get aflame, and when it finally does, light, gas keeps leaking after i let go of the button. fucking jankiness.
why have europeans not come to recognize the superiority of bic lighters!?

Dude,look harder.
You can find bic lighters in every corner of europe,nevermind Cz.I remember we used to have the little ones around here and they where the best...gave up smoking though a while ago so i havn't seen one in a while,but they got to be out there...just to good to miss out on.

really? i haven't seen any. that fills me with hope.
i dunno if i'll have any luck where i am, since it's such a small town. but if europe has bics, then i'll definitely be able to find one in paris, right? less than 3 weeks before i go.

yeah dude, ebay. can get a 50 count of full size bics for around 30 sometimes. 50 lighters will last a little bit i imagine.
i fuckin hate cheap gas station lighters. bic all the way. this seems to be pretty common in the pot community...at least my friends.
my signature is the orange full size bic, with the child safety piece ripped out with pliers, and the two little prongs folded down. it eventually has little nicks on the bottom edges, from popping opening my microbrews with it
that way, when someone pockets my shit, i can call em out...

They definetley are around.I think it depends a lot on the store you buy it from and if they happen to stock bic's.But i clearly remember that there where lots of the little ones around a couple of years ago and I live in the east.So unless it's not some french thing they'll have 'em.

I use a random butane lighter I got from a store in the mall. It's pretty cool. The nozzle where the flame comes out is angeled so it's a lot easier to light bowls and stuff where you would normally have to turn the light almost compleetely upside down.
It looks a lot like this...only it lights up and it silver and stuff...but you can see the "angled nozzle" I'm talking about.

ah just realized you said you're livin out of a pack, which is sick btw. in that case, good luck on the search, literally and figuratively! never been to europe, but that seems strange that they wouldnt carry bic products.

i found some lighters that i actually like more than bic. i think they were called scripto or something. they were electric instead of flint, which i like, and also they had adjustable flame. they also looked better quality than bics too. lasted just as long. havent seen em around again though, but if i do im buying some. IMO they are even better than bics.
edit. theyre definetly not scripto. i just looked those up. i cant find what theyre even called

Not in Europe? Considering Bics are from France.
