What’s your ten do not ?
Don't use flint from regular butane lighter, they don't work, or they work badly. I tried it as a kid, when there was no flint available. Not worth it.
@@ilevilminko4642 yeah they tend to gunk up I’ve noticed and don’t strike as hot
Good advice!
@@ilevilminko4642 Sorry for late reply...so those cheap flints from Aliexpress etc is not good as well? Or you just mean butane lighter flint? Yeah sometimes I use a bic lighter flint too lol, usually empty ones, take it out and use it.
@ilevilminko4642 yeah I remember making that mistake when I got my first zippo lighter
#2 'Don't abuse the warranty.' Absolutely! I've used Zippos for 40 years, I've returned two Zippos under warranty in that time, and Zippo's customer service is the best you'll ever get. If you want it to stay that way, don't abuse the warranty.
Yeh that’s why I put that rule so high on the list.
May I know whats the problem? The two Zippo that you sent for warantty?
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors That rule is funny.
I mean they do have an entire display in their museum for lighters that obviously abused the warranty… they tend to be abused by the ones sent in that were purposefully destroyed. Split one in half with an axe and send it in… might end up in that museum case and I’m not even joking.
I'd say another rule. Never get rid of your first. No matter what happens even if you have to sell you entire collection always keep your first
i lost my first in a river
@@jasonharrington2106 oh that's unfortunate
@@madarauchiha919 absolutely
Still have my first! got it sep 2011 and I still use it today.
@@jasonharrington2106 hahah same thing as me!
My favorite zippos were stolen. One was my dad's... he carried it during the Korean War and he had engraved our last name on it. I guess the rule I'd add is, hide your sentimental or valuable zippos. Mine never even left my home & yet they were stolen.
Oh sorry to hear that Colleen
Been there. Sorry man. I hope they pop back up.
The worst kind of theft.
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.
Yeah my edc is always fluid. Just to reliable not to use it.
Also change your flint before it gets to small and jams up the flint wheel.
Always good recommendations. Will be in another top do nots if this one does ok
how can you tell if it’s getting too small?
@@manny4148 Manny, it'll be harder to light more often, and ya COULD always safely pop it out & check. 🤙🏼
My N°1 Never to do thing is : NEVER EVER light an insert when it is out of its case! Particularly just after you've re-filled it. It can be pretty tricky to stop it burning and you will probably burn your fingers !!!
Lol don’t do that
Why would you even do that???
Oh sure!! Just guess how I found out! @@bernielamont825
My first thought: now I have to try this
I bought my first zippo several months ago ,I finally got the fluid for it today . I'm really enjoying learning and hopefully doing tricks with it. Thanks man .
Nice man youll be tricking in no time
I've got a zippo that my dad sent me while I was deployed in Afghanistan 15 years ago. It's beat to crap but I kept it. Used it until about 3 years ago. I stashed it and bought a cheap slim brushed. The one my dad sent me has sentimental value now. I always keep your first one or ones that carry value to you personally.
That’s awesome u still have that. Sentimental ones are the best
Like I've often said: Never underestimate the value of a good Zippo.😊
Never !
My dad (died 1963) had a Storm King brass finish, when he died I put it in the lockbox. In high school I pulled it out & used it for years. 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! With 20 year old and 60+ year old lighters!
Oh no way ! That a sweet story Ed thanks for sharing. I’m also glad u decided to bring them out and give them some love. Your dad would like that
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
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.
Yeah I know. People abuse the warranty pisses me off. Thanks buds appreciate the kind words and continued support.
You have to be the worst kind of human out there to intentionally break a Zippo to get the finishing fixed for free
@@BlueAerospace agreed !
i am far from been a zippo collector but during my 49 almost 50 years i have purchased 6 zippo lighters and honestly i will keep using zippo until my last day because quality and reliability is what i am always looking for
Yup quality , reliability , lifetime warranty and the best customer service any company has to offer
Do not light a zippo in a coat pocket. Lol yes a pinhead friend of mine did that. I wish I had a video. 20 below zero he did it and set his jacket on fire. The level of stupidity on that still has be baffled
Lol yeah gotta be carful
Atleast he was warm in sub zero temperatures. I assume that’s -20C? Anyways I hope he was alright
This is amazing! I’m new to owning a zippo. My hubby is an avid collector and I’m always having to get him to do things with it for me. I can impress him now knowing what to do myself!!! 😅😂😂❤️
Haha that’s awesome ! Glad to help. Really wanna impress can learn a few tricks too lol have an questions just ask ! Believe it or not a lot of wives stop here to ask what zippo to buy for they’re husbands also. Cool that u use one too !
“Hubby”
Go back to reddit lozer
I’ve been watching your videos for a little while and this has to be my favorite
Repeat offender lol thanks buds
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.)
Wanted a zippo for years but was never old enough yet. Turned 18 a couple months ago and bought my first today. Just as I expected it to be. Thanks for the tips
Eh that’s awesome buds ! Congrats I’m glad to hear. Welcome to the family
I'm underaged (I don't use cigarettes) but I just kept trying to buy it until someone forgot to check my id, love the little thing. I'm looking forward to trying some tricks and camping with it
@@ductile1430 U just need to find an older friend thats legal age. 100% success rate
Just get them online?
@@ductile1430you guys have to be 18 to buy a zippo?
got mine as a gift back in 08,had extended periods of time used as a daily,also being an hard smoker,the gold dust finish got faded and scratched,but it still works,still using it daily.
Yeah the gold dust looks nice brand new. I suggest u get urself a brass armor. U will be very happy
I actually like buying vintage zippos/lighters in general BECAUSE they already come all worn in and nicked up so I don’t have to have that “dying inside” feeling first time I drop it or accidentally throw it in the pocket with a bunch of keys
Me too !
just got my first zippo😃 Jack daniels one and its a gift from my mother (she has a lot) Thanks for the video brother!
That’s sick bro !!! Congratulations welcome to the zippo mafia
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Many thanks and i just wanted to say i did my first trick because of your video on the top 10 tricks! the cowboy draw one and safe to say my mother was impressed😂👍
I love this kind of content! I adore Zippo and I should do some kind of content like this. So glad to know Zippo is getting the attention it needs. Love this man!
Thanks lots of content here to absorb. Glad your enjoying it !
I bought my first Zippo on 1991. Now they are 10 and I use them everyday... Ty for your videos
No problem buds, thanks for the kind words !
Found my dads zippo and ive watched your videos to restore it and it’s so fascinating.
Nice ! Feels better doing the work yourself. Especially on your dads
I’ve only ever seen Zippo’s in movies, but I saw one in line at a Walmart a week ago, bought in on a whim, and fell in love almost immediately! Since then, I’ve purchased 4 more and my family thinks I’m obsessed lol
Lmao welcome to your new family
Just got my first Zippo like 4 days ago and i enjoyed this video
I used to the "flip trick " years ago and it still works 54 years later but it does loosen the hinge. Its just recently put back in service after your tune-up video and a new wick 😊
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. Wild. Thanks for the video. I’ll stick around for a bit.
Yeah thanks for leaving a comment. I have videos on virtually any mod or hack u can do to a zippo. Have any questions please ask
I love my new zippo. Thanks for the vid!!
Nice ! Glad your enjoying it.
Biggest zippo fan. Great channel man!!
Thanks !! Lots of good videos on here and if u ever have a question
I love your '10 not to do' List... and I 100% agree with it :D
Thanks pawz!
I never knew about repacking it, it's been years since I've used one but still. Nice video
Yeah I have two really good videos of repacking. One with the rayon cotton that comes with it and another video where u can get really good wicking cotton and repack it
Found you through Onion. Good content! Enjoyed watching.
Thanks ! Onion is a good man
If playing Silent Hill & Resident Evil taught me anything: always carry a lighter.
Exactly lol. So many reasons to have one
Haha! Glad I'm not the only one who became inspired to buy their first Zippo because of RE. Snagged mine back in '98 because of that ;)
Hahaha me too, i love silent hill so much
The funny part of the warranty is that as he said earlier zippo people for the most part who take care of their zippo and maintain it who are the more mature of the group won’t need to use the warranty but still bang on for the company taking the time to care
Yeah zippo warranty and customer service is second to none. One if the last great American companies
Couple drops on the wick.... I like that. Gonna have to try it.
Yeah works really well I do it every 2-3 days
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors May I ask, what do those drops do? Does it make it easy to ignite the wick?
@@calcomcolt just keeps the wick moist and prevents it from charring or turning black
This was a great video
Thanks buds
Never heard that rewicking rule. Good call. Thanks! Got one or two suspects that need attention. Trouble is with my rewicking skills, I may be no better off. 😂
Case knives and Zippo lighters are both made in Bradford PA, and they both have the best warranties regarding their types of products!
Best warranty out there !!! Not one better
I edc one of those multicut 360 armor zippos I got for 120 then I polished it because I hated the antique brass still working amazingly
Yeah brass 360 are beautiful
They have always been cool 😊
I've had a couple of Zippo lighters over my time my first one when I was a kid I tried all the tricks in the world and broke it my second when I had for quite a while one night at the pub came home without it so I decided not to buy anymore 10 years later I saw your video so I went out today and bought my first Zippo lighter in 10 years I don't smoke anymore Cyborg the brass one and I spent all afternoon polishing it to a mirror finish there'll be no one in the world I will let anyone ever use it except me and now that I've had it for a few hours I do love the click that it makes thanks for the video and you inspired me to go out and buy a Zippo
Haha that’s awesome Matt !! Glad to be of inspiration. Would u let me use it ?
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors if you come to the outback of Australia and you're not scared of the drop bears of course you can have a go at my lighter keep up the good work and I really like the videos on how to make your fuel last longer and I think I know why I love the zippo so much it's it's the sound makes and the smell it gives off
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Hey mate I lost my lighter off for a couple of days called the boys in and asked if I remember what I did with my lighter they also suggested looking for the lighter for an hour wasn't worth it and I probably should go back to a cheap lighter but when you start a few fires everyday some call me a pyromaniac you need a good lighter we found it so I spent the afternoon laughing my head off knowing that I spent probably $300 on wages to look for a lighter I don't think I am capable of owning a lighter like a zippo
if you want to edc your favorite zippo (mine is currently the rose gold armor engraved), get a leather case for it hahahaha. i had a leather atelier friend wet mold a leather case for it. adds weight so you can always feel it in your pocket.
Yeah case is always a good option. Love the rose gold deep carve my fav too
I always refill before I use it. That's the habit I'm training, So i won't run out of fuel when I carry it out, ever.
Even if it's not being used for 1-3 days when I'm not enjoying a cigar, before I even think about lighting my cigar on the porch, the first thing I do is to refill the Zippo. 5 seconds fuel flow is all i need for a whole day free from worry that I'm gonna run out. 😁
Always love your content, and yes. I won't let ANYONE borrow my Zippo and do tricks with them. Blasphemy 😆
Yeah for me if I havent filled it in 4 days I give the same thing a 5 second squirt before I leave the house
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors true
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.
Best video advice
Thanks brother !
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors any time zippo
Thank you ❤
Anytime !
I make my own lighters and I'm testing a couple for evaporation. They still light up after ten months from their first fuel fill. It's all about sealing which zippos do not do since their lids are not air tight.
Cool bro. Should post some vids
What do you do with the default inserts that come with each case? Those that don't look like a jet engine. Can they be used without a case? Too bad cases are generally not avilable standalone.
Boss tactical on eBay sells them with no insert just with case. No box either pretty cheap
Yeah. I have never smoked but my dad smoked but I loved the sound of the Zippo . I use my Zippo all the time when camping. I use it as a tool also. I use it to burn the end of rope or string after I cut it with my knife so it won't become freyed and come lose.
It’s a great tool that’s for sure
Man i hate when people do tricks with my favorite zippo lol i often carry 2 lighters for those😄
Haha I know right. That’s why it made number 1
hey i got my first zippo a few days ago and just filled it tonight. I already filled up my silver zippo but I didn't check my wick's placement inside my zippo. I was wondering if I can still move it around and make sure its not stuck at the top? should I wait till it runs out? thanks for the vid very helpful
I wouldn’t worry about it.
One thing I gotta completely agree is that Zippos are made to be roughed up.
They are extremely durable and are built to last. Being too caring with your Zippo is a little counterintuitive.
Yeah bro u gotta use it. I feel a worked in zippo tells a better story
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors definitely. My favourite Zippos are the classic ones, no designs what so ever and seeing the steel roughed up makes it more valuable for me. It has a story to tell.
I just got my first zippo today and I’m already planning on buying more
Nice ! Welcome to family buds. Anything u wanna know u can def find it here
I started carrying a Zippo n94 the year I graduated. I'm looking to get 10 karat gold slim, I don't care if it's got a design or just polished, any suggestions besides eBay?
Nice buds. Umm I dunno those slims are expensive. Zippo daily fix has one. He’s got a video on it. I don’t much about them they are pretty old. Best bet would be to get a modern gold plated one. Cheaper and newer
I lived near the plant in Bradford and knew someone that worked there. Had a custom one made back in the early 90s, they did it that day. Still have it plus a couple more. I’ve never repacked a zippo from factory and never once had a problem. Just my experience, but haven’t bought one for over 25 years also. Maybe that’s a QC thing these days idk.
They actually fixed the packing problem in January 2023. Zippo listens to its customers
I absolutly agree with rule number one 10,000 %. Nothing infuriates me more, if you get it back after they accidently dropped it on the ground you'll be lucky they didn't damage the hinge. I've had to send my favorite lighter back twice to get a new hinge replaced, I don't like to use the repair warranty because of someone elses "stupidity". There, I said it!
Hahahaha
I love that Scrooge McDuck zippo. I want one now.
Thanks made it myself !
I ve got my first zippo and i still haven't been able to light it... I ve tried everything i found on the internet...
Put fuel
Turn the well the oposite direction to "i dont know" the filnt...
Changed the flint...
Saturate the cotton
Over saturate the cotton (with fluid ofc)
Trim the wick
Put the wick outside the edge on the zippo.. Inside...just on the edge...
Reasamble it....
Bought a new wick and flint and fluid original....
Put the wick in the s patern...
It only works for a couple of times after i put fluid on the wick as u said...
But after 2 3 times of working (like 5 minutes) it wont light again.....
The single thing that seems to be the problem in my opinion perhaps can be the fluid... Even though i used the zippo fluid....
I also mention that i leave in eu so perhaps the zippo brand fluid is not quite the good one....
But im simply out of options to try i might as well just leave it be in my room at this point cuz its unusable
How do you made the custom Zippo on the right?
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.
Hey :) what is the Zippo you use for that awesome tricking intro? Looks like my 2002 high polish chrome. Cheers!
2017 vintage look brushed chrome no slashes.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors very nice
So do you keep your vintage, sentimental or special Zippos filled and do you light them often?
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
Hey @Zippofanatic77outdoors I bought an armor zippo the other day and the hinge is really loose so I jumped on reddit and other people said it's normal for them to have loose hinges but this is looser than the hinge on my old 04 zippo
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
Thanks
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.
Cotton bat-ton, bacon gave me a chuckle, not making fun. You gave me a much needed laugh my car was stolen Monday.
Thanks for the laugh ❤️
#6. Wait, I won't get laid from having a cool lighter?
We will. Others won’t be so lucky
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
Hey I really like the art on that last zippo. Did you do that artwork?
I put the art work on the zippos check out my shorts videos. I make all sorts of customs.
ive been carring a zippo for about a year and i have to ration fluid wicks and flints really carefully since im young do you have eny suggestions on how to make fluid last longer and how to mange one with little supplies?
Hey bro. Yes check through all my videos. U have to take out the cotton in your insert and repack it. The wick is all jammed up there and your not getting max performance. Watch my video why does my zippo run out of fluid
thank you.
Now I know how to get new zippos after mine gets old lmfao
Me and my dad are the only ones in my hole family that even like them lol, i sanded the chrome off a brushed one and then hit it with a wire wheel thing looks so sick I made it my carry 🤟🏻
Nice buds ! I’m planning on engraving my self a custom armor this weekend hopefully
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors that’s gonna be sick
@@brianproffitt7263 I’m
Hoping so
is it ok to store zippos that are "full" (recently filled) on its side in their boxes?
U could. I wouldn’t
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors how would you recommend storing them?
I bought some fluid I usually do not buy. It smelled off. I put it in and it won't light properly now. I put some of my old fluid in and it will light now until the 3rd strike. Do I let it evaporate or what do I do?
Take it out overnight refill in the morning. Of that doesnt work. Repack it with fresh cotton
Hahahaha I felt very seen by your comment about always dropping it around the house 😂😂
Lol happens to most
I have a question. When should I change the wick?
th-cam.com/video/AHTfnFjR3vM/w-d-xo.html
Great vid, Sorry I haven't bin tuning in to your live streams, bin vary busy. Also I have a don't this is for any (non smokers) DON'T pull out your zippo after just meeting someone, I have had people think I'm a chain smoker and make stupid assumptions, like I just got out of prison or something lol.
Lol yeah no worries brother. Everybody gotta keep busy these days. Hopes all doing well brother
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Ya everything is fine just got a new job.
@@gearup9503congrats buds ! Work hard build your empire
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors thanks plan on it
I find it's best with Zippos that the one you use is a basic design like chrome or army green so that when you get one of the limited edition ones you leave it nice and safe in a collector's case in order to keep it in good condition
Yeah buddeh !
Number 2 shouldn't even have to be said, but some people are scumbags.
That’s exactly why I added it. To shame them lol
Been watching your vids, I think I got like 7 Zippo's same from your collection, greetings from Istanbul man.
Nice !!! That’s awesome man glad to hear. Love from 🇨🇦!
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors 🙌
What’s that insert you have with the cap? That thing looks awesome!
Zorro insert
Bahahaha number 10 really got me xD I was expecting some “this will make it last a lifetime” or something… but I started laughing so hard!
Come to think of it, it really makes sense tho.
lol glad u enjoyed it
I have the same zippo since 1987. It works as the first day.
Yeah can’t beat a zippo
I thought the blackened wick was from the chimney cap closing down on it? Just referring to the other video you made.
Many things cause a blackened wick. Running your insert dry is just one of them. Chimney caps another
Unfortunately my zippo lighter after doing tricks with it fell apart😢 the housing to cover the chimney separated 😞 now I’m just see what can I do either to send it to zippo or just get a new one….
Btw it’s my first one I bought 😢
Well definitely get it fixed. Don’t send in the insert u will get a free one. Also buy a new one the cheapest one one u can find. Use that for tricks don’t use the first zippo u ever bought urself after it’s fixed. That one’s sentimental now.
Hey, what's that thing attached to the cam that clamps down on the wick when the lid it closed?
Cam spring

Hey I was just wondering if you could tell me the name of the most right zippo. I really like the design. Thanks!
U can’t buy that. I had it made. It’s Velma from scooby doo all tatted up.
@Zippo Fanatic 77 Outdoors I was about to ask the same, I did notice it was velma and was like "that's freaking awesome" hahaha!
@@portgax haha thanks buds one of the coolest in my collection that’s for sure
@Zippo Fanatic 77 Outdoors if you don't mind me asking, did you make this one yourself, or did you commission someone to do it?
@@portgax commissioned someone else
I picked up a zippo at Goodwill, for $2.50. the wheel did not rotate, I watched video on how to fix. The wheel now rotates, the old flint was messed up. I need to get a new flint and see what happens...thank you for your channel
Thanks Verl ! Welcome to the community , if u have any questions ask away.
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 carry everyday my armor case brush chrome since 2016. I don’t even care if my zippo scratch or minor dent. I don’t know why, but i love how it looks 😅
Yeah love my beaters
so nice
Thanks Tyler !
Great video, although it almost feels more like a ten things not to do in front of a Zippo collector than things newcomers should watch out for.
Thanks buds. Well no where in the title does it say 10 things newcomers should watch out for.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoorswell, you prefaced the video and most of the things in the video towards people who are new to the zippo scene so I only assumed you posted this in hopes to teach the new people a thing or two, but I stand corrected. You have a good day, I love your collection btw.
@@bittenbone2382 haha well I make these videos for fun. They aren’t supposed to get this big. Reach a small community. Then TH-cam sprinkles some algorithm on some stupid video I made and here we are. Yeah thanks it’s a pretty top notch collection. Gonna be making customs all week
I've collected Zippos for years. Only recently started using one
Oh nice def fun to use
I've got a 1970 zippo with a jamed flint and I don't know what I should do about it it was my father's and I don't just wanna replace it
Watch my video on my big channel how to remove a lodged flint. Super easy buds.
Ok thanks
I'm sorry if I'm asking for something obvious but I have to use the original zippo gasoline to recharge it or can I also use something else?
U can use petrol , white camp gas or pure naphtha. Or just use zippo fluid
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors thank you ♡
@@angryowen6371 anytime bro
Benzene also works and it's a lot cheaper.
i got mine from my grandfather, i got it from him in the box but im pretty sure hes had it a while do i need to fix the wick? idek if it needs to be or not
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.
theres that lol but id have to save money up bc i dont got any atm lmao@@Zippofanatic77outdoors
If I’ve already filled my new one with lighter fluid, is it too late to re wick it
No just take the insert out let it dry. Or just it till it’s empty
ok,just stumbled into this channel
Im a smoker,but i always felt that zippo oil, hurts ma throat more than regular lighters
am i doing smt wrong ?
Hey buds. Don’t inhale the first puff when lighting. I always take 3 puffs to get the cherry going. But don’t inhale those puffs. U won’t taste the lighter fluid. It’s only tastable when the flames on it
oh,ill give it a shot
thanx a lot
That snap trick is rough on the hinge, in my experience.
