    I don’t smoke or anything, but I’ve always been fascinated with zippo lighters. Unlike typical lighters you can buy at gas stations, you don’t have to hold down the wheel for maintain a consistent flame; instead, with a zippo, you flick it and you get a steady flame and when you’re done all you have to do is close the lid.

    I'm 61 years old, don't smoke anymore, however I still have and have owned many zippy lighters ( also knockoff versions) they are the best for what they are. Getting to my point is you can overfill your lighter and not find out until it's too late. That slow and intensifying warmth to burning feeling on your thigh. To avoid this and still get maximum fill will be learned fairly soon, edged on by the consequences of overfill . The best way to test for slight overfill is to, close lighter grip with thumb bottom index finger top, using thumb and index finger of other hand, rapidly rubb in circular motion at the seem between lid and base for a fair amount of time to worm up the metal. If you detect any fluid you are overfilled. If it is just a slight smear you can usually burn off the excess by lighting lighter for a minute or so, anything more than that requires extended usage before putting in your pocket or more creative measures to reduce fluid volume. Time and experience are great teachers. Note: I know for a fact that fluids are different from what they used to be ( zippo fluid for tennis ball cannons. Ronson fluid not so good because of inhibitors) none work the same as they used to. Hope this helps someone.

    i can still remember the night sitting on a chair in the balcony at around 4am in the morning covering myself up with a blanket kind of thing, it was brutally raining outside with thunderstorm. you know how beautiful rain looks in village area. in the background a beautiful song name "i hold you" was playing slowly and i lighted up my cigarette with the zippo then left it open as im playing with it, a nice burning smell was coming through the fire after some time bugs are started to coming at the fire and getting themselves brunt and i was watching the whole scenario. how beautiful the mother nature is.

    Regular Zippos leak vapour from the hinges so Its always a good idea to store a zippo wrapped in a small plastic bag. This stops vapour evaporation. A zippo will normally last a few days without wrapping but if you wrap in a plastic bag it can last over a month.

How crazy is that? I must admit, the plain Zippo’s look nicer than the sometimes over decorated types. Great review by the way. Nice and clear. So many people hide the instrument with their fingers or tools when demonstrating something, you no. Brilliant. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K. Stay safe and well.

For some reason you have the ability to keep peoples attention. Now I really think you like the multi tool more than the Zippo lighter. I love my multi tool also.

    It really does help your lighter fluid last much longer to re pack the cotton and wick. I used to have to top off almost daily. Now I fill up about once a week. I don’t lift the felt flap when I fill... I just poke the fluid nozzle through through the hole and gently squeeze till it starts dripping out of the bottom.

    pro-tip: you can take the flint out of clippers by undoing the white screw at the bottom of the removable flint holder thing and taking out the flint and putting it in your zippo. It works with other lighters too but it's easier to get them out of clippers. the flint sometimes goes flying away when you try to take it out of a regular 'crack lighter'.

    I used to "collect" these in college and use them for smoke (I only have 8 because they are expensive in my country) and even found one of my grand uncle, a model from the 70's according to the code below. These are pretty good lighters with the BIG failure of the fuel liquid. You have to fill these things every week even if you don't use it because it evaporates. Even if you don't smoke (I personally quit it two years ago) they are good for some sick tricks or even just to show of. That being said, no matter if it's venting, the Zippo will always light on and will survive almost anything.
