    Best way to drain a Little Buddy lighter?

    I did bleed out through the base using a small screwdriver but there was a small bit I couldn't get. So I just opened the feed, locked it in place and let it drain that way. It's complete empty now. Thanks all for the suggestions (for some reason I was thinking there was some other way to do...

    Lighters are ok through aiprport security

    NY, ya Suck! On the other end..

    [rant mode] My g/f is pissed. The new law, akin to the FDAs requirement, has resulted in her not being able to get any Al Capones in NY anymore. I believe I still could order them from elsewhere but it's annoying. Of course this affects me directly because if the woman ain't happy, that means I...

    Traveling to Canada.

    I am but I am Canadian, having lived in Toronto for 17 years and grew up in Ottawa. Rather than purchasing at the airport you might want to consider visiting here: http://www.shefieldandsons.com/ You'll probably have a better selection to choose from since Pearson will be limited to the Duty...
