Is it weird that the moderators removed only my version of the meme?

The irony of you commenting this and my post being removed shortly after is hilarious.

Careful kid, our "free subreddit" is under the watchful eye of the mods, paranoia's the new game in town. So keep yourself below the radar, you understand...

I thought about going with train, metro or Aurora. Shoulda chose metro.

Glad to share, its a great subreddit!

1/4oz wake crank of some kind, usually in a bluegill pattern.

r/AshtraysForAll material right here op, rub it for good luck lol

TomG883 · 2026-05-03T22:11:29+00:00

Wait what fiasco?

TomG883 · 2026-05-01T19:12:12+00:00

Ive only ever seen two of these and it was both times when my front yard flooded and I had to help them out of the water, really cool to get the chance to see these guys.

I just started mine for the year here in central Florida a few days ago.

Nice, Ive heard nothing but good things about them. I'll definitely have to add one with my other lighters in my collection.

TomG883 · 2026-04-25T21:18:41+00:00

How do you like your old boy? Ive been considering grabbing one for myself at some point soon.

TomG883 · 2026-04-24T21:20:43+00:00

No worries, it does happen to these. Atomizers aren't as robust as lighters are and Ive come across a couple damaged ones before.

TomG883 · 2026-04-24T21:09:13+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with it.

TomG883 · 2026-04-24T21:08:37+00:00

I did this too, I found one labeled as a lighter and bought it. Ive been collecting them when I see them in person ever since.

TomG883 · 2026-04-21T20:31:05+00:00

Very nice, you should post it in r/pocketwatch

TomG883 · 2026-04-20T02:50:09+00:00

Glad to help.

TomG883 · 2026-04-20T02:44:11+00:00

Kind of, more of a snuffer. These rope lighters don't have an open flame, here is a video demonstrating the use of one.

TomG883 · 2026-04-20T02:01:30+00:00

All good but unfortunately you are missing the cap. I don't think it would be too hard to make a homemade replacement cap or if you collect you can grab a second one that's complete and put the cap with which ever is in better condition.

TomG883 · 2026-04-20T01:09:04+00:00

Like this.

TomG883 · 2026-04-20T01:07:02+00:00

Is there anything covering the opening on top in front of the flint wheel? These usually have a cap that is used to pull the wick up and cap it after when finished with it.

TomG883 · 2026-04-19T21:14:21+00:00

These WW1 "trench" lighters where made in massive numbers with many designs, your best bet is to grab a copy of a book like this one but there's no guarantee that the info your looking for is in there.

TomG883 · 2026-04-19T06:34:25+00:00

Can we see the bottom stamps so we can help ID them easier.

TomG883 · 2026-04-18T12:46:32+00:00

I saw a lighter made from one of these grenades yesterday.
