I dont smoke often and when i do I have a lighter. but when i use the car's lighter it just doesnt heat up. It pops out of place way too soon and i have to hold it in with my thumb until it's hot enough to turn on a cigarete.

In other cars I've noticed the lighter getting bright red and it has enough heat to turn on 3 or 4 cigarettes.

does anyone else use their lighter?
have you had any problems?

Thanks

seriously why would you smoke up your audi with cigarettes of all things. i smoke cigs when i go on business trips (my lady hates it so i only do it away from home), but there's no way in hell im smoking in my car

Every once in a while it pops out "early" as you described.

I hardly ever use mine though. That's what Zippos are for.

And yes, I smoke in my car.

Everyone that cuts me a check for $606 get 1/60 of a vote as to whether I should or not. :-P

Incidentally, I saw that you keep the front windows and sunroof open when you smoke.

You'll get a lot less smoke and ash blowback if you crack the driver's window 3 inches and leave the sunroof closed while you smoke.

Sunroof + Open windows virtually guarantees "blow back"

You can always open them all up for a while to air out when you're done.

I clean my car regularly, air it out and use a quality air freshener and most people who know I smoke are surprised when I tell them I smoke in the car because they can't smell it.
