Handmade Modified Refillable All Black or White Bic Lighters - Shortened

Introducing "El Chapo", a chopped down version of the Bic Classic. This is the first time I have offered one of these for sale publicly. Aside from the few I have made for myself and the two I just recently made for a customer that specifically requested them, I am not aware of any lighters like this in existence. I’ve seen others discuss similar designs on web forums, but to my knowledge no one has ever successfully made one that doesn’t immediately or eventually leak (if I’m incorrect in saying that, please provide me with a source depicting otherwise and I will gladly eat my words). Polymers are notorious for their inability to bond with one another, or any other material for that matter, with the exception of utilizing ultrasonic welding to form a secure bond, which essentially fuses the base and body together, forming one piece (which is how Bic manufactures them). These are roughly the same height of a Mini but with the added bonus of the additional fuel capacity. They fit nicely in the pocket and hand and are far less annoying than a full size when used with a lighter leash (if you know, you know). These are rather time consuming to produce, hence the price. Hand filed, test fitted and then pieced back together with a multi-step process to form the secure bond. These will be the only two of these available for now and I don’t foresee making many more in the future, if at all.
