This is not entirely true. An empty lighter with a still working flint is an excellent option for starting a fire and now I will demonstrate everything.

For clarity, I drilled its reservoir with a knife so that the remaining gas came out. He doused it with water from a bottle to make the task even more difficult.
Starting a fire with a disposable lighter without gas
Find dry branches of medium thickness. They need to be stripped of their bark.

The bark is thin and can be easily removed almost by itself.

Next, tearing it in the direction of the fibers, chaotically chopping it, we turn it into something similar to cotton wool.

We make a small tube out of them, one end of which we insert the yarn close to the flint. And we fix it all in our hands.

Of course, I dried the lighter first. This is done simply by wiping it on dry clothes.
Now is the most crucial moment.We take everything in our hands and make a sharp movement against a straight board so that the gear wheel spins for as long as possible. During this, sparks will fall directly onto the improvised cotton wool.
You can do this not only on a board, but also on clothes, just be careful.

Next, we quickly take our wick and blow it up. We immediately place it in the remaining scattered bark.
