I'd be pretty surprised if you live in a fairly large city and couldn't find one. These types of places will also usually order chemicals for you and hold them for pick up.

I use a small oil lamp that was bought for 1$ in my local dollarama.
A good alternative would be a butane torch lighter, quite effective.
the fuckin bic lighter burns me everytime after 15 or 20 secs of needle burning

I was wondering about that, everyone talks about using alcohol, but I've not seen an explanation of why alcohol's better than oil. Oil's so much easier to get. It's what I've been using (and I havn't had a contam problem), but I also wipe with 91% iso, which also helps wipe the soot off.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..." President Dwight Eisenhower, 1953

Alcohol burns cleaner than oil. No soot or unburned hydrocarbons to coat your needle, scalpel, whatever.
