Number 10, letting the fluid evaporate, is hardly an issue for me. I know how to craft my own wicks by pulling strands from cotton oil lamp wicks, weaving said cotton strands together into a smaller wick, and then sealing the tip by tying it together with thin copper wire, so it doesn't become undone. Been doing this since 2006 with great success, these self-made wicks have been very robust and reliable for me, even resisting charring pretty well. And, more importantly, I have access to near infinite supply, making the wick charring a non-issue to me. This is the absolute strength of the classic oil Zippo, compared to other lighters: Its high degree of end user maintainability. These suckers really are built to last from father to son. Few other companies appreciate quality like this anymore. You buy a BIC, you use it until it goes dry and then you bin it. With Zippo, you just keep it going with spare parts, and it's gonna be with you decades later. While I appreciate the new butane inserts they recently introduced, there will regardless always be a place for the traditional oil insert as well, for its simple, rugged reliability.

Then I went to matches & Cricket disposable in a Wind Shield plastic case and returned the Storm King to the lockbox. In about 2005 I bought a used Zippo Classic (dated 2003) also with polished brass finish, bought used because I like the look of used. Last month we closed the lockbox and I refurbished the Storm King (flint had gummed up in the tube, needed new wick) and it works a treat. I'm Two-gun Pete now!

I've had a different experience with people being amazed by zippos. I've been carrying a zippo since I was 14 (yeah, kinda young to be addicted to cigarettes but whatever), and at high school all of my friends were stunned by my zippo tricks :D

If you want to keep your Zippo running like new get two things. A small hobby wire brush (crown type) and cotton swabs used for gun cleaning. Use the brush to clean the crud from the spark wheel and use the swab to clean the wick. It'll light like new every time. Crud on the spark wheel is the biggest culprit in unreliable lighting (weak, cool spark.)

Dude, I didn’t know people intentionally break their Zippo once they’re no longer pleased with its “shine.” That beyond pisses me off. They’re taking advantage of a wonderful American company. Shameful. It was nice seeing you in your stream. When I have time I want to commend and like all your videos. Welcome back, my friend.

So I actually just unintentionally came across this video, stayed cause I was mildly amused and I’m blown away I didn’t know about the repacking thing. I’ve been carrying a zippo for 20+ years now. I lost one a few years back that was my every day carry for 8 or so years. I was bummed but oh well. Bought a replacement after a few months of not having one and the damn thing sucked. I’d have to fill it up every single day with fluid. I quit carrying it around after a few months and forgot about it. Now fast forward to today. I was looking up what fluid I should use in this windproof March I used cause I assumed my fluid must have gone bad or something and I learn the repacking and i realize the reason the lighter I loved and lost worked so well is when I first got it my little cousin was messing with it and accidentally yanked the wick out so I had to take it all apart and repack it.

Another "don't" would be to not be annoying with the Zippo. E.g. flicking the lid over and over in an otherwise quiet room full of people. If you really need to fidget around with it, you can still spin it between your fingers or something, just do it quietly. Otherwise you're just a slightly fancier version of the guy who keeps clicking the ballpoint pen. Nobody likes that. And I'm not saying don't do it at all. It's fun to play with and I do it all the time, but read the room a little.

I'm looking to get a zippo but I want one with artwork on it like the Abstract Design one with the trippy bunny, my worry is that the artwork will chip away or fade away over time, and I know that it will especially if I use it all the time, my question is do the zippos with artwork fade away very quickly or can the artwork last a few years before it starts to fade away. If that makes sense

Get an engraved one. It will last forever. Yeah coloured ones with stickers or paint all come off over a year or two of full use.

I just bought my very first zippo, I know mine its not "special" or anything, but how do I know if its rare? Maybe I didn't route very well the wick because its getting dark and its hasn't passed a week since I got it thanks for your vids they are awesome.

Majority of zippos aren’t rare. If it’s not lasting a week could because the temperature in your country is warm and u carry it in your pocket instead of a pouch

is it ok to store zippos that are "full" (recently filled) on its side in their boxes?

Don’t even use the insert. Slap a new insert in there and just use it as a throwback here and there. Keep the original insert as is. Don’t edc your grandfathers lighter. It’s special. Would hate to lose it or dent it up bad. I only use my grandfathers zippo around the house. I don’t bring it anywhere.

I do not use the inserts. I have butane inserts that if I want to use it I slap one in there. Keeps the zippo clean and don’t have to worry about filling it. Also I don’t leave the house with those zippos. Table lighters only. That way I still get to use them but avoid denting or losing them

whenever i get a new zippo i always make sure to reset the wick to a better position because for some reason the kinda just stuff it to the side or at the top instead of winding around the cotton balls

Yo, i kinda wanna copy your design on the far right zippo, obviously not the ZF77 bit. Mind sharing the place where you found the design?

I recently got cotton bacon for my zippo but before I replace the rayon I was interested in how often do you replace the cotton bacon or if you barely replace it at all. In other words does the cotton bacon go bad quicker and need replace every so often

Hey hector. If your zippo is getting heavy use. I change my cotton once a year. U do notice a difference with a fresh change. No matter cotton bacon or regular cotton. The fluid eats at it and it looses its ability to absorb. So either way u need to change cotton. Cotton bacon just happens to be a better performing cotton.
