You know theres a little hole in the bottom of the bic. Is there a valve somewhere you could buy and refill your old bics? Theres about 100 dead lighters here.

No there's not.. That's why they're called disposable lighters.

Nope, sorry. Even with a butane cylinder, there's no way to safely recharge a BIC lighter. They don't have an inlet valve on them and are meant to be disposable.
You are welcome to prove me wrong, but I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to find an online writeup on how to refill one and can't find anything.

You could definitely refill one and use it. You could saw one open, fill it up, seal it somehow, and it'd work.

It'll probably work if you torch it apart and weld it back together, I recommend high heat and see what happens, make sure you watch closely.

it's less impressive than you'd think, unless it's contained somehow, what invariably will happen is part of the plastic will melt faster than the rest, and the jet of butane escaping that one hole will rocket that lighter far, far away, away from the heat and away from exploding.
very disappointing. though, when you put one inside a cigarette pack that's been doused in lighter fluid and light that.. well it DOES make the cig pack sorta fly off with it. that's kinda scary and cool, but really not very impressive.

You can't afford to just buy a new one? What are they, like 75 cents or so?

If you throw them in the hot coals of a campfire they pop pretty nicely.
It's a sign that you are truly bored however when you remove the flint and make a way to hold it by wrapping the spring around it. Use the new lighter that you bought because you knew your old one was running out to heat the flint until it is glowing hot. Once glowing well quickly toss it sharply against a hard surface such as cement or pavement and watch the fireworks. Best done in the dark of course.

I love doing that, all my buddies would give me there old bics and id collet them and make a big display with all the leftover flints. And for some reason they always gave em to me to take off the child locks, even when i told them how.
