Incase you haven't heard, you can harvest a handcuff key from a bic lighter. I tested this myself, and to my surprise, worked. The shaft that runs down the center is what becomes the key, it just takes a little filing and being gentle as you open the cuffs. It is st plastic after all.
Hey, if you go to most outdoors shops you can buy really big, thick ferrocerium rods (the flint in a lighter) and if you heat them up with say a blow torch and throw them its way cooler
Can you respond to me you have 666 likes on my screen
My friends and I use to look for those same cheap lighters while we roamed the neighborhoods to do exactly this. The lighter must be almost out of liquid butane and this was during summer days in Texas I assume the heat from the sun and the lack of pressure allowed some of the Butane to change to gas inside the lighter instead of only having liquid. When full of liquid it has to change states of matter before it can be lit by the spark ( the spark is not reliable ) also the escaping liquid will become very cold due rapid expansion from the pressure change. And cause water in the air to form in to a liquid, and maybe even solid ice. When I was older I bought 5 brand new lighters just to do this, Thinking it being full, would make the fireball bigger I was wrong.
Yeah, way too much liquid and not enough gas. Usually less than half. I always did it when they were about used up

Dear Rogues:
I'm not gonna say you're doing it wrong, because you basically have the technique down pat. However, I have done this myself and gotten a nice little fireball, so I have some tips:
1) Every lighter I managed to explode, with fire and all, was not new, some of the butane had been used prior to popping it.
2) When throwing it, I found that if you kept the lighter lit for a brief period of time beforehand (nothing ridiculous like getting it to start melting, just getting the lighter itself to heat up a bit, say 10-12 seconds max) it would more reliably give a nice fiery cloud, which I am guessing with my limited knowledge of thermodynamics was because the combination of the pre-existing heat and the spark of impact made it easier to reach the flash point of the butane cloud, and finally
3) When it worked, it was usually in a rougher surface than the concrete slab you used, ie the asphalt of a street or parking lot, maybe because...more friction on impact? Not sure on that one.
Anyway, much love regardless from Oklahoma, would be interested to see some more thorough testing with both the lighters and ferrocerium rods with the ideas I mentioned! :)
Great suggestions, also perhaps they can try different brands of lighters. Although, these flimsy, cheap, thin-plastic lighters seem like they'd fracture more easily than a Bic lighter or similar. :)
Since this is TH-cam and all... got video of it?
When I was in high school all we did was explode lighter. Thank you public schools, when i did it I used a Bic. Every other one was not as good or not working. Bic's spark better when hit and also, throw like a Man!
Hey from oklahoma
Considering they managed to put out an open flame I don't think 2 and 3 really matters. I think 1 is where it's at. In a school yard scenario you wouldn't go to the store and buy a new lighter and throw that to the ground, you would have an old or discarded lighter. My guess is that it probably works best with a spent lighter with just a tiny bit of fuel so the whole thing can aerosolize (I'm pretty sure that's a word). As you said, when it works it's a little fireball, and a whole lighters worth of fuel would be a pretty sizeable fireball.

You actually need to snap off the silver thing until you find a small white wheel. Attached to that you'll find the flame adjuster still connected. Just lift it up and move it to the right so that you can adjust the wheel to allow more gas out. It will spit out fuel. Which you light with a second lighter. Then when you throw it there will be a strong flame to ignite the gas. Also helps to do it in a sheltered place with no wind.

As a kid when we were done lighting fireworks we would throw lighters at each others feet.
I think the problem is that the lighters are full of butane. Everytime I have exploded a lighter by throwing it at the ground it was always a lighter that was out of fuel. That's the reason I would be smashing the lighter in the first place😂 I think the full lighter is releasing so much butane it doesn't have a chance to mix with air and ignite.
Yeah, most likely a stoichiometry problem.
If you have a full lighter you need to remove the Flint and the spring and wrap the spring around the Flint and then reinsert it and then take another lighter and get the Flint red-hot before you slam the lighter on the ground so that the Flint will give you the Sparks that you need to ignite the vaporize lighter fluid
Richard Wolfe thats too long if you need a flashbang
Um but for something to ignite it needs to have a certain air/fuel mixture. Its usually the flint hitting the ground causing the leaking butane to ignite
@@mftripz8445
Too stupid to comprehend?
That look in Murphy's eyes when he says "lets try that!" is priceless
You guys are getting the puff of butane, but as me and my best friend used to do this all the time we have learned that the fireball is most common on a 10-40% full lighter. When they are like that I tend to get a fireball almost every time.
I think this channel and it's comment section is the definition of bad advice
Wafflez For Gamerz, bad but fun
no this is correct. You do that when your lighter does not light that well, so you just go bang. Who the fuck breaks new lighters for fun? "modern rogue" ofc.
I think the problem is that when the lighter ruptures, the puff is pure butane, and not mixed with oxygen from the air. A cloud of pure butane could actually extinguish any flames initiated by an initial spark, or the candle as seen at 6:55. Also, I approve of the "Spoon!" war cry.
“GO AWAY BADGUYS!” Is my favorite saying
I also loved when Jason just yelled "SPOON" when he threw his first lighter.
When I was younger and walking around, any time we found a discarded lighter around, we would do this. The thing we did different, was to light the lighter before we threw it down. It worked better if you had one of them with the valve you could tweak the flame up and down. We would do a method where you can bypass how far you can heighten the flame, then light and throw. Sure you can find info on how to do that, if you don't already know. Still, it wasn't a 100% guarantee it will ignite and the explosion isn't that large.
Jesus I've really been enjoying this channel, since I've discovered it a month ago!
it works better with nearly empty lighter when you the puff and the spark now there is to much butane not enough air
@Anonymous Anonymous not really, some can put out fire in an open environment. The butane is moving the oxygen away.
I meant smoke, not some
As a commenter, I feel like I'm getting mixed messages.
Also, my best guess as to what's happening is that the spark (on the off chance a spark forms) is being created and dying out just before the butane is released, combined with the fact that its too close to the cloud of butane, so that the butane meets the spark before the right ratio of oxygen can form for combustion.
I.E., bad spark timing combined with too rich of a fuel mixture at the spark's location.
While the spark is probably a very unreliable igniter, it's also an issue of the temperature of the gas being too low to ignite. Since the gas expands so quickly it cools down by a lot.
Which is how the cloud was able to extinguish the burning candle without catching fire.
@@T19R0N I figured that was simply because it rapidly displaced all the oxygen for the fire to sustain itself.
My friends and I use to look for those same cheap lighters while we roamed the neighborhoods to do exactly this. The lighter must be almost out of liquid butane and this was during summer days in Texas I assume the heat from the sun and the lack of pressure allowed some of the Butane to change to gas inside the lighter instead of only having liquid.

And cause water in the air to form in to a liquid, and maybe even solid ice. When I was older I bought 5 brand new lighters just to do this, Thinking it being full, would make the fireball bigger I was wrong. Fire does not need oxygen if it has another fuel source IE butane
@@c1h2r3i4s56987 Absolutely incorrect, outside of some very extreme conditions.
Fire (i.e., combustion) is a reaction where a given substance is rapidly exothermically oxidized (oxygen is the primary method of doing this, but more electronegative gases such as Fluorine and Chlorine will also do it).
Since the prevalence of gaseous Chlorine and Fluorine in the atmosphere is stupidly low, barring something like chemical warfare or an industrial accident, outside of those two conditions, every fire you will encounter will be oxidized by oxygen (hence the term). There's some other even more exotic ways of oxidizing a fuel, but they're even more uncommon than Cl and F.
Suffice it to say, oxygen is not a fuel, it is an oxidant. And if you find yourself encountering a fire being oxidized by something other than oxygen, you should either be running away EXTREMELY fast, or praying to whatever higher power you believe in (of course, that's good advice for a lot of oxygen fires as well).
I used to do this when I was a kid. Whenever i found a lighter on the floor
@tactyc weak, I lit a barn on fire
You guys are nuts. Keep up the great work !
My friend did it once, but it was with an empty lighter
Clayton Wolfgang elementary school shit
I think that a full lighter has too much gas inside, so when it expands it pushes the oxygen away so it can't burn. I also did it with a almost empty lighter and dropping it from a 3rd floor.
"1 or 5?"
"One One Jesus"
Despite the reused concept I still love your guys videos. Will always be a fan from the beginning.
Found a lighter on a beach once that had a bunch of barnacles on it. Threw it on the ground and it had a little fiery explosion, but didn't break apart. I gave it another couple hits and it didn't explode but it could do a pretty angry spark.
Based on that accidental encounter, I'm going to say it's the same problem you faced with the potato gun - the fuel air mixture. A lot of commenters have said that it's an issue with the amount of fuel coming out, claiming it worked better with half-empty lighters.
Honestly surprised this video isn’t just plastered with “don’t try this at home” labels
Apparently according to the comment section plenty of people have already tried it at home, so too late to start throwing disclaimers at this point.
Rouges do not listen to "Don't try this at home!" So they don't bother lol
*Good Vibes* they are hoping some common sense is used on our end
"Don't try this at home" is just a given any time you're on the Modern Rogue channel.
*Good Vibes* because we end up tryin it at home
The butane in the lighter is compressed, so when the plastic cracks and the butane escapes, it rapidly expands. That rapid expansion causes the gas to cool down a lot, and probably makes it too cold to ignite!
**Anything explodes**
People... **flashbang???**
Found you guys last night and I'm hooked
Brian: *Tells dangerous story*
Jason: LET'S DO IT!
Why am I not suprised? 😂 We'd definitely have to reset the injury counter with that one.
So when I did it as a kid I did it with empty lighters I found on the street that people threw out. Never had a ball of fire but I did get a nice loud bang...not a poof.
I remember doing this as a kid in Australia around 15 years ago and while it wasn't all the time we definitely got fiery explosions. I tried it a few years later, and I have a sneaking suspicious that maybe some sort of safety lighter was introduced that made this harder to do, because I could never replicate it either. We also used to use the lighters first a little bit, cause fire is fun, and a few other comments have mentioned doing this too. In fact, I distinctly recall us doing this multiple times with lighters we'd find in the street, which we'd just pick up and huck at the ground to see what happens.
Jason your references are the best

This is true, my mate was with his mate in a barn in summer chucked a lighter at the floor set fire to the barn and cause 40,000 quid in damages and went off to juvie
That’s just the spark in a barn. The cloud probably won’t ignite on its own.
What's in my drink? Your mate lied. The apart or lighter is not enough to ignite into a burning flame.
The way Brian describes a dangerous situation, "there was a get and a *woosh*" and Murphy with the "Let's do that one"
Do these guys remind anyone else of the Mythbusters or just me. Not complaining either, great channel and content
Paris 568 mmmmmm
Grind up the flint very carefully.
You get better results than just lighting flint on fire, but its a powder rather than a burning red solid so it ignites instantly like gunpowder and burns fairly brightly compared to gunpowder.
Jason smashing that rock still makes me hurt laughing.

"This is shrapnel" continues to leave mask up
I remember doing this when I was like 8 years old. We lived at a rough neighborhood with bunch broken lighters just laying in the dirt and on the street. We just though it made a really loud bang and looked cool, we never got full on fireball explosions either.
No one:
Brian(every video): SO LEMME GET THIS STRAIGHT
When I was about 7 years old I literally threw every lighter with a bit of gas to the ground to see if it would explode.
Its just the cloud of butane ppl talk about but every now and then(it doesnt happen often at all) it will light the butane
if its either hot out or you light the lighter for a few seconds before hand and the lighter is under half full you can get it to make a fireball every time.
Not a distraction but a cool trick that works:
Ignite the lighter and tape down the button so it stays lighted.
Place it on the ground and hit it with a golf club. The flame at the source will burn the butan.
Tape a flint wrapped in a spring to it, light the flint, then throw it. The spark would probably ignite the butane
I miss the "Im a modern rogueeeee" intro
If you didnt know this you had a boring childhood imo.
my childhood consisted of halo, gears of war, and gta with strangers on the internet
bruhh i used to take out the firestone bunch em up together with some matches and throw it onto our opposing villages houses lol
I know right 😂
I use the lighter for better things
I preferred to keep my lighters intact so that I could actually light shit on fire like god intended
Right after you said go nuts man it sparked
Upon breaking the vaporized butane is above the Upper Explosive Limit for a brief moment in the immediate area, meaning there is not enough available oxygen to intiate a reaction with the ignition source.
Idk what kind of lighters you’re using but I’ve thrown plenty at the grown and it made a fireball
still looking forward to the big ferrocerium rods version
This is a thing that I did when I was a kid, but I also remember that we made sort of a cannon out of carbid, a PVC pipe, a lighter/candle, water and something like a piece of wood with a LOT of hot glue.
Step 1:Drill a whole on the lower side of the PVC
Step2:Take a piece of wood and jam it as much as possible in the bottom of the PVC with a hammer and put hot glue everywhere.
Step 3:Take the carbid, put it in the chamber of you make-shift cannon put water(preferably hot water) in with the chamber of the cannon
Step 4: Take the cannon put it on its side with the hole facing you, resting on like a 5 foot log or some boxes
Step 5: Wait 5 seconds and put the lighter like 1 cm from the whole, thats when you hear BOOM
Repeat if you want to continue with shooting, REMEMBER if black smoke is coming out of the pipe and when you try to fire it a big flame comes up that means that you have to reset the cannon and try again, the reason for that is when the water hits the carbid it can come up to such a temperature that it starts to burn, you can use the same piece of carbid like 5 times, but remember to put water in every 2 shots.
If you see this comment then please make a video about it:)
For reliable fireball effect take the flint and spring out. Wrap the flint in the spring and attach the spring to the lighter. Then heat the flint until it glows and then throw the lighter.
I heard that they could explode if you use them as a fist packer in a street fight.
Try using the disposable bic lighters I actually did this when I was a kid
I've done it once by accident. It was a bic lighter
I could definitely leave my Anger management Class like this 4:00
Second day of anger management 4:43
Last day of anger management 5:26
I just realized that whenever they say, “ go away bad guys” they’re using a method that allows them to go away
If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say this worked, I could buy a bulk pack of cheap lighters to throw at things and not have any of them explode. The only way it I think it does work is if you hold the striker end under a flame to get the ferrocerium flint glowing hot and then throw it, but even then most of the "explosion" is the rod sparking when it shatters. Butane just doesn't ignite well when released as a cloud because it disperses too quickly and displaces the oxygen required to get a flame going.
You gotta throw them when they're almost empty. That allows enough oxygen to mix with the remaining butane inside the lighter.
Oh, and if you remove the metal shield it's even easier
That's because you guys haven't learned how to remove the spring and the Flint, and wrap the spring around the Flint and then reinsert the spring and then use another lighter to get the Flint red-hot before you slam it down on the ground then you will have a sufficient shower of Sparks from the Flint to ignite the vaporized lighter fluid!

Um this ignites 100% of the time if you spike it onto a sparkler or road flare or other aggressive, self-oxifizating flame source.
Ah yes the good ol' light a flare place it on the ground then spike a lighter onto it for a brief fireball kind of distraction
If you attach the ferro rod and spring to the outside you’ll have tons of sparks to ignite the gas. It’s a combination of what you did plus the ferro rod sparks that can work reliably
The puff is a BLEVE, ( boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) they tend to put out sparks/fires depends on the amount of liquid and the explosion overpressure.
Yeah the lighters should be almost empty.
I've done this and sounded like a gunshot.
"LETS DO THAT"
Wow, this is something that’ve actually done consistently, surprised it didn’t work for y’all.
This video has some pretty high production value for being essentially two guys throwing lighters in a yard like a couple of rebellious pre-teen.
how many gas stations did they raid for those lighters
You can buy packs
The smoke is the explosion it doesnt actually *explode*
If you take the cover off and break the lever off. You can then adjust the flame all the way up until it starts to spew. Then using another lighter you can ignite it and throw it and it will keep burning for a long time, because once the butane runs out the plastic will catch on fire.
Try taking out the flint and spring carefully. Wrap the spring around the flint and then wrap that to the lighter securely. Heat up the flint till it is red hot, then toss it hard. Discard the metal cover.
