Walmart zippos are great, you’re not as attached to it, you can give them out as gifts and if you loose it, you can always get another one. It’s a zippo without a box. That’s it.
I stumbled across the rubber gaskets on Aliexpress one day and just figured might as well try them out. They were really cheap through them. I have a few other Walmart blister pack Zippos in my collection as well. Some of the designs are pretty good.
Collected Zippos for years, just came across those gaskets & picked up a pack. I use a torch insert in my carry Zippos because I like them better for my cigars but still use the original inserts in my workshop. I'm anxious to see how these gaskets help.
I have 2 Chinese rubber ones. Had them for over 2 years & always transfer them to my "carry/in use" zippo & have had zero problems. Got a couple more, they're plastic, don't fit as well & don't seal as they are warped. Thought "fine, I've got dodgy ones. It happens". Ordered more from a different place, different maker, still warped. Think I'll stick to my rubber ones.
I definately agree that the rubber ones are much better. Did some looking since making this video and discovered how many different ones there are out there.
The hinge is where it leaks from. 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.
Definitely correct, that they leak from the hinge as well as from the bottom. I use my Zippo throughout the day, every day. I just keep it in a leather pouch. I only refuel once a week still and haven't run dry yet. Also, I no longer have one of these gaskets in it. Just original felt pad from the factory. Basically, I was just trying them out to see how they were. They're not really worth it. Thank you for commenting.
Yeh, but the fuel will still evaporate around where the lid closes on the body though, because that's a metal-to-metal seal, and that will never keep fuel vapour in! That area needs some sort of gasket too. I stopped using Zippos years ago because of the fuel-retention problem Zippos have always had, and moved to Imcos. Very little fuel evaporation with them because although things are still metal-to-metal, the tolerances are much smaller compared to what there is on Zippos. Zorro 'Zippo look-alikes' from China are also far superior to Zippos.
Fully agree with pretty much everything you wrote. I nolonger use these gaskets. Had tried them just for the sake of doing so. I still use and collect Zippos, though. Along with other vintage lighters. The Zorro lighters coming out of China are of very good quality, and I own a few in my collection and plan on getting more. They have a couple of heavy brass ones that are machined from a single piece of brass that incorporates a slot around the insert that has a replaceable o-ring that helps with fuel retention. Thank you very much for commenting!
Thank you for the advice and for commenting. I don't use these gaskets anymore. Haven't for over a year now. Found them to be more of a pain than what they're worth, lol. I honestly don't like the butane inserts all that much, either. I use just a standard Zippo insert in my away from home Zippo and a regular pipe insert for my at home Zippo.
@zippolyonsden1623 I actually like a butane lighter insert, but I'm not a fan of Zippo's official butane insert. Why, because Zippo's official butane lighter insert doesn't have a window on it, which would allow you to see how much butane you have inside. The Vector Thunderbird butane lighter insert has a body made of clear polymer, so you can easily see how much fuel you have left inside. The one drawback to the Vector Thunderbird butane insert is that you have to slightly bend the metal tab inside the lid of your Zippo case to get it to fit the cam properly.
@ThomasConnolly I've been wondering how the Thunderbird inserts are. Fully agree about the Zippo butane ones and not being able to see how much fluid are in them. I also do not care for the small buttons on the official Zippo ones. I have clumsy thumbs that keep sliding off the little buttons, lol. I burnt myself a couple of times with the butane pipe insert 🤣.
Thats great! I'm hearing the rubber gaskets basically last indefinitely while the plastic ones start to shrink after some time. Where did you find your gasket? It seems to be working for you.
I purchased the ones I have through Aliexpress. I no longer use one in my daily carry anymore, though. I've switched back to just using the felt pad that comes with a Zippo. I do not have anything against these little rubber gaskets. I just decided that I prefer using just the felt pad.
I have carried one for years, and its hard to tell when they are going to run out of fluid. But what you can do is get an old eye drop bottle and fill it with lighter fluid and you can carry it in your pocket, that way you always have fluid with you. Just a tip.
That's a very good tip. I actually have one of the Zippo fuel canister keychains that I carry on me just in case. Haven't had to use it in a while though. Usually just fill up my edc every Sunday. Hasn't run out of fuel yet.
@@zippolyonsden1623 I work out in the woods quite a bit and in remote locations, and if you didn't bring it with you you didn't have it. So that was my solution to the problem.
The hinge is where it leaks from. 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.
Hmm, good idea with that rubber gasket. 🤔🙂 I can cut something similar out at home, just wondering if leakage is really an issue with Zippo's? I mean if they leak at the bottom the fuel has nowhere to go, right? 😊🙂
The fuel evaporates after a while. It doesn't really leak out of the case. Petrol lighters, like Zippos work off the fumes of the fluid. The idea with these rubber gaskets was to help with fuel evaporation. I went back to just using the felt pad that comes with the Zippo originally since I really didn't see much difference in evaporation. The only time fluid would actually leak from a Zippo is if it is overfilled with fluid. Some people use a small piece of a plastic sandwich bag to cover the bottom of the insert to help with evaporation.
@@zippolyonsden1623 Ok, thanks for getting back to me. 😊 It seems we can stuff the housing with all manner of absorbent material, as long as the wick gets a good padding aound it. (I have a Glow in the dark Ghost Compass Zippo.) 😃
I use regular cotton balls in my daily carry Zippo. Just make sure not to over pack the insert and have the wick run through the wadding in an "S" shape. They're not packed correctly in the factory. The wadding that comes with Zippos from the factory are rayon balls which is basically a synthetic cotton. The glow in the dark Zippos are really cool! I only own one glow in the dark one. The one where there is an alien ufo trying to beam up a cow, lol.
@@zippolyonsden1623 😊 Thankyou for replying, I've noticed my flint is getting short, like maybe 2mm deep so I wrestled a flint out of a Bic lighter but the wheel won't spin.. 😯 I'm thinkin' the flint is too long, putting too much pressure on the striking wheel. Maybe if I cut it in half it would go alright? It's about 6mm long..?
It may be too long. Maybe loosen the spring screw a little bit and see if that helps. I've never tried a Bic flint in my Zippo before. Zippo flints will work even when worn down to just a couple mm. I usually do not change mine until they do not spark anymore.
Extra 3 days 😑 I actually assumed these gaskets could stop the zippo fuel from evaporating whilst not in use for a considerable amount longer than usual. Am I wrong it thinking that? I don't have one so was just a assumption.
Hmm, I haven't thought of using that instead of the rayon Zippo originally puts in there Zippos. I've been using natural cotton in mine. I'll have to try carbon felt sometime.
i never liked the stability of the hinges in my very different zippos from 30 years for 30 years - and if you use them a lot in blue collar environments - its getting worser motivated by a "zippo-fan-site" i evolved from pressing the hinges to extracting the "bolt" [hope its the correct name] i replaced them with steel nails - about the size of the cardboard-pins i used to extract the bolt - the original zippo-bolts do cover the outer hinges just half with the nail and short rounding of the cutted edges the hinges get real stability for the additional bottom plate i experimented with several materials inkluding ntb - nitril-butadien-kautschuk my solution were these red plastic covers you use top of outdoor pipes and cables to prevent damage from shovelwork a little bit work with a dremel - 20 minutes for 4 covers including drilling the opening for the flint-tube optical not industrial perfect - but perfect enough for me
I agree with not liking Zippo hinge stability. I've some that date back to the 1940s and 1950s that have better hinges than the modern ones. I also have used nails to replace the hinge pin on a couple of my vintage Zippos. Zippo will replace hinges, though, if sent in to their repair clinic in Bradford. I've done that a couple times with older ones.
@@zippolyonsden1623 thanks -i was very anxious to break the hinges and widened them very carefully & slow after i aligned them - the right angle of the hinges is still something i like to understand and how it corresponds with the closing plate in the head section which you can bow a bit ... as a german i´m convinced there is nothing more effective than add "front plate armour" :) ... until you sunk in the mud
@zachariasobenauf1895 talking about sinking in mud. Have you gotten one of the Zorro lighters that is machined entirely of brass? The hinges on those are actually part of the case itself, not an extra welded on part. They even have a small groove carved along the opening of the bottom case, where one puts the insert that fits a little rubber ring to help prevent fuel evaporation. They're a little on the heavier side as well. I really like them. Would be cool if Zorro made a solid copper one.
@@zippolyonsden1623 oy yeah - the first english term o thought of was - neat - they do look less blue collar/gi and much more solid (tiger 1 tank-like) - the hexagonal structured one "convinced" me on fast first looking through their ideas - may be a really good gift for really good friends who are already in "zippos" - thanks for the tip ... i will try to find a seller over here as the sound had to fit too - but by their materials i think they will sound solid&mechanical/industrial too wish you a nice weekend - and thanks for solving a good part of my christmas presents searching
I didn't experience that while I was using them. I mainly just didn't like them and didn't see much of a difference in fuel retention compared to just using a felt pad. Maybe I just didn't use the one I had been using for about a year for it to fall apart. When I stopped using it, it had been in relatively good shape yet. Thank you for commenting.
You say that these gaskets are good. On another video from Zippo Fanatic he says that it's the worst accessory. Now I don't know what to do. Probably will order a couple and check for myself
I didn't have a problem with the ones I received. Still use them as well. I have the black ones. If you get some, let us know what you think🙂. Also, remember to take the felt pad out first for it is not needed if using one of these gaskets.✌️
@@zippolyonsden1623 I'll order 2 or 3 from different manufacturers just for the sake of comparison. But the only problem with aliexpress is that it takes months to arrive!
I think that's the same plain one I carry around! I'm pretty sure my uncle got it for me at Walmart and it was like $10. How long do you go between fills with that rubber gasket?
@@zippolyonsden1623 Oh wow you must use yours alot. Mine just has the plain felt at the bottom and I only fill it once a month. But I don't use mine much, so most of it probably just evaporates.
@@zippolyonsden1623 Yeah my dad always let me light his but he quit last year, so now I pretty much only use it when my uncle comes over. I never thought about friends though! Alot of the guys on my football team smoke so maybe I'll have to pull this out at parties for them. Plus girls always like when I do tricks with it.
One of the main reasons is that these lighters work primarily on fumes. Letting it dry out completely causes the wick to burn away faster, basically. Keeping the lighter full helps to prolong the life of the wick. This has been my experience with Zippos.
It would be cool if they were made in America. Zippo flints aren't made in America though. Neither are any of their butane inserts. I believe the electric handwarmers Zippo sells are also made in China. I know the really nice one Zippo sent me for free was.

@@peterbenbow3832 that would be good to know. I went with Aliexpress because they were cheaper than off Ebay. Think I just got lucky with the seller I purchased them from.

with the nail and short rounding of the cutted edges the hinges get real stability
for the additional bottom plate i experimented with several materials inkluding ntb - nitril-butadien-kautschuk

Some people like them, some do not. Thank you for your reply. As we say here in the US, It is what it is.
