Great idea for alcohol lamp!

If anyone can't find an alcohol lamp or for some reason can't figure out how to make a safe one, fill up an old Zippo Lighter. You can use an old syringe because I can't think of any bottle of alcohol that has the spout that the lighter fluid does. So just suck some up and fill up your Zippo!. it'll work for your Mushroom stuff for a while but alcohol evaporates quickly so don't expect to light up a smoke an hour or so afterwards. Happy Growing!

I use a babyfood jar with cotton clothes line for a wick. It works well, but the lighter idea sounds pretty cool.

I think that using a zippo would be more difficult because of the width of it. Makes it easy to tip over. If you plan on lighting the lighter everytime, might as well just use a lighter. Its a nice idea though.

Another good idea would be to light a bottle of Absinth and hope for it not to explode
No, seriously, without wanting to degrade your idea, which might work just fine, I don't see the necessity of an alcohol lamp in the first place. I always just used a normal lighter and it works great...

i just bought a cheap $1.59 disposable oil candle from the candle isle at walmart, used a syringe to stab a small hole in the side to drain out the oil and to use as a fill hole for alcohol, no tipping and essentially the same idea as the zippo, just figured i wasnt the first
note the oil in the candle creates a black soot so once you fill the candle back up with alcohol and cover the hole with some foil and tape, you need to allow the candle to burn freely for a short while to burn off any remnant oil left in the wick

LOL, forget ghetto rigging stuff involving fire, that's just plain stupidity. Nobody can really be THAT cheap, can they?

It's $3.40 for Christ's sakes.
If you want a nicer one then spend $10.00 and get a wickless alcohol burner. http://www.cynmar.com/SearchByKeyword.aspx?word=wickless

Agreed ff cheap and stupid! Here's another idea: Find a gas can,huff all the gas till there's none left. (Brain cells not gas.)Once you get down to just a few cells left poke a hole in your skull. Push hard , cause a few of the skulls around here seem to be rather thick. Once you have a nice sized hole in your melon. Fill it with the remaining gas. Now reach down and grab a handful of your shit stained underoos. Give a strong tug, this will be sure to add more oily shit to the shorts which will make a great wick. Stick it in the hole in your head and light it! There you have it! It cost nothing.

its LESS ghetto rigged than you think, you could also just remove the flame cap and fill it with alcohol, seriously now i have been using this lamp for months with no problems
