A Beloved Permanent Match, Repaired and Reimagined

I don’t smoke, but I often use fire when I’m making things, so I own a few lighters. Among them, my favorite is this product called a “Permanent Match.” Since it’s oil-based, it can be used almost indefinitely — but it seems that this item isn’t sold much anymore, and I have no idea where to find replacement parts.

At first, I thought I could simply buy another similar one if it ever stopped working. But as I kept using it, I gradually grew attached to it. So this time, I decided to replace the parts and customize it in my own way, giving it a new life instead of letting it go.
