Lighter Overclock
Ok, This is a tribute to Kevin Rose and his ability to overclock every day house hold items. I also put little arrows and circles on the pictures to guide your eyes on what to look at specifically. Granted the arrows and circles are really crappy, but they're there. This isn't the only Item we'll be overclocking in the time that we do this, but it will be one of them. A common lighter
Many people will notice this kind of lighter. There is one specific requirement for this overclock. It must be a lighter that has a control where you can turn up and down the flam size.
Once yo uhave this type of lighter you'll need to take the metal casing off of the top of the lighter by simply applying pressure to the inside in an outward direction.
The metal is weak enough to where it should bend easily. Once you bend the metal outward and take the metal casing off you'll see the control is actually a little black lever hooked onto a cog. Turn the gas all the way up, or to the + side. Then push the lever upward to when you can move it without turning the cog.
*NOTE: don't remove the lever, simply move it upward.
While the lever is able to be moved without moving the cog, move the lever to the side that would normally turn the flame down, or the - side.
Since it didn't turn the cog, it didn't turn the flame down. Now you will push the lever back down to where you can move the cog with it again. Once you can do that turn the flame up again, or to the + side again.
*Repeat this once or twice. Each time you do this the flame will get bigger.
This will turn the flame up a lot, Remember this. Your flame will go from something like this
A crappy inch high flame to this
A hand held flame thrower.
*Note sometimes the liquid will be put out and little fireballs will shoot out. Plus this will use the fluid a lot faster and as with everying that has to deal with flamable gas and fire, theres no gurantee that the lighter will not explode in your hand.
I take no responsibility for damage done by people using this knowledge.
