How to open a lighter with a lighter: tips and tricks

The absence of a bottle opener is unpleasant. Especially in an embarrassing position is the owner of the house, in which the party takes place. It's a shame when the question of what to rip off the caps in beer bottles is completely out of sight. But the situation is reparable if you know how to open a beer with a lighter.

Bottle openers replacement

A conventional plastic lighter in skilled hands is by no means the worst means for removing bottles, than the bottle opener itself. The lighter can be used as a lever. The same principle applies when using a bottle opener.

Usually, both hands are used: one keeps the container and the edge of the lighter under the removable lid, the second lid is torn from the neck.

What other methods exist?

In the absence of openers and lighters, the procedure for uncorking bottles can be performed using other, also very effective means:

• Door lock. A lid is placed in it. The cleft is a small metal square that holds the doors in the closed position. When uncorking beer, force is applied from below.
• Ring or print.
• Unnecessary CD-ROM.

This procedure consists of several stages:

• Take a bottle of beer in such a way that the hand was located closer to the neck. In this case, the index finger should cover almost the entire space around the lid. In order for the opening procedure to be performed more quickly, it is necessary to press the finger as tightly as possible to the lid, and push the lighter under its edge deeper.
• The thumb in this case is the support that holds the improvised opener under the removable beer lid. The second hand presses on the lighter, which serves as a lever. Force action must be carried out until the cap does not fly off.

What should I consider when tearing off the lid?

• Before opening the beer with a lighter, it is necessary to place it correctly with respect to the bottle. Ideal for this method is a perpendicular arrangement.
• Pressing must be smooth at first. The force is applied already at the end, when it is certain that the improvised opener will not slip out. It is important to keep the metal part of the lighter tightly. With the help of a strong downward pressure, the lid is torn off.
• In order for the lighter to go better under the edge of the lid, you need to push the finger under the edge of the neck with your finger.
• It is not recommended to make this procedure a rounded corner lighters. It's better if it's a long plastic end.
• In some cases, the cover may be at an angle. With parallel pressure on the bottle, the whole force focuses on the lighter.

The second way

It also uses the index finger, which serves to hold the neck of the bottle. This technique of removing covers differs from the first in some nuances. Before you open a beer lighter for this technology, you need:

• With a tight grasp take a bottle that should be some distance from the person. The hand with the lighter should be slightly bent so that it forms the letter "e". When you move the wrist with the bottle opener from the bottle, the hand that holds it, performs a slight twisting movement, which is necessary to tear off the lid from the neck.
• The opener must be securely fixed in the fist. Its most part must be hidden in the hand. Uncorking occurs only at its edge.
• The lighter is placed parallel to the thumb. They are located on opposite sides of the bottle.
• The neck of the bottle should be between the thumb and the rest of the fingers.
• When opening the movement, hands should be made towards the bottle. One hand, located at the bottom, holds the container tightly, and the lighter clamped in its fist with its free end drops to the bottom of the bottle. Thus, the lighter is used as a small scrap, which has an emphasis in the area of the thumb.

Some nuances

• Before opening the beer with a lighter, you should wipe your hands and bottle dry. This will prevent slipping. Strongly clamped containers will not jump out of your hands.
• There are often cases when the lid jumps out only half. This happens if the movement was not sharp enough at the end of the procedure. In this case, it must be torn from the other side. To do this, simply turn the beer bottle 180 degrees.
• If the plastic base begins to slip out from under the teeth of the lid, then the lighter has not gone deep enough. Ideally, it is considered a process when after opening on the plastic surface there are traces of the teeth of the lid.
• If there is a feeling of tension when tearing, this indicates that the thumb is used inefficiently as an abutment.
• It is not recommended to put too much pressure on the lighter. It is also undesirable to push it towards the bottle.
• It is possible that from the first time the lid will not fly off. To strengthen its interaction with the opener, the hand should be placed closer to the neck.

Such opening techniques are applicable not only to a plastic lighter. Any other object can be used for this purpose. The main thing is that it is not metal, as this can cause the formation of cracks in the neck and the injury of the lips.
