Whats the different between a hippo and a zippo? A hippo is heavy And a zippo is a little lighter

[@NaNi7506]

hahahahahaha

[@spooneroldhound]

For me, playing with a Zippo is a stress reliever

[@InteliGear]

I hear ya. I have liked these ever since I found a brand new one still in the case in grade school. I gave it to my oldest brother since my mom said I wasn't old enough to keep it. Be Well... InteliGear.

[@zarsasilver]

Same, I don't have a zippo, but lighting my cheap Bic lighter is very satisfying. Just the sound, and the sparks of the flint, and finally lighting it after it being stubborn is a good stress reliever.

[@BltchErica]

+Zarsa ikr when I get older I'm gonna get one cos now my mom would think I smoke

[@zarsasilver]

Bltch Erica I bought them all the time as a kid. I'd buy like a 10 pack of them. And hide them. I was also a massive pyro, and I still am. Luckily, I finally bought a Zippo.

[@BltchErica]

Zarsa You bought zippos or cigarettes? Anyways I talked to my mom and she will buy me a Zippo and a handwarmer as well, she was surprisingly okay with it. Note that a Zippo in my country is 100$, so there's no way I would have spent 100 without my mother realizing.

[@stephanurkel7567]

Just got a Zippo and was sooo lost. Thanks for this bro

[@zachholler8316]

This was so helpful i got mine from Walmart and i did not know you had to fill it

[@Godisgr8always]

zach holler i didnt know either -_- now i have to buy lighter fluid

[@andrewtummonds3349]

Same

[@mikeeno104]

Thanks for the video... I have not filled a lighter in over 40 years and did not remember. Your video was perfect!

[@reggiebuffy]

I truly am grateful for your video!!! Just got my first zippo and I did wonder wtf to do!!! lol!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mevlantoska1416]

One of the greatest tutorials on KZbin, a lot of respect thanks for the lesson, lol bought this zippo today it was my first, and I'm sitting there trying to light something... But it would catch fire! So I searched this and I finally know now what I got my self into, thanks for the vid, keep it up!

[@VojnovMusic]

Great review and instructions for somebody who did not know anything about zippo until this video. Definitely will consider buying one. Thanks!

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

Great video; I learned a lot. I bough a metal fuel canister after watching your video.

[@christopherrowan3886]

Greetings from the UK! thanks for the instructional mate. I really enjoyed it. For my money, the Zippo is among the greatest invention of all times. What our primitive ancestors did, we can do in an instant, anywhere with a lighter. Thanks again, Chris.

[@sorallamarquez6798]

thanks! ... u'r video is straight forward and to the point... helpful 🔥

[@murtazaabbas8711]

That was a great video man It helped a lot Everything was so clear

[@olmanzzz842]

Just bought one online cause I got tired of buying dollar store lighters all the time so I needed one I could just refill and I was lost asf on how to use it, this actually helped a lot

[@bumblesby]

Yep. Went to the Zippo museum/shop in Bradford a couple weeks ago. They had a display of all the Ronsinol products :) The museum and gift shop are awesome. I picked up a couple lighters, a Case knife, T shirt, etc. really fun place.

[@jaqantaeemazingo6240]

Great video tutorial I appreciate this. I was brain stumped I'm a first timer with these so I noticed it was obviously gonna be different from a regular lighter like bic. I had no clue you needed to fill it with lighter fluid. Thanks again

[@aumenjoy1708]

Really appreciate this vid just received my Supreme x Zippo lighter and was confused! Thanks again!

[@BlacknWhiteMaster22]

I got a playboy zippo and a supreme one

[@littlesoldier1985]

Really nice tutorial. Bought one for my fiance and never had any experience with them before so this was very helpful. Have a good Christmas there.

[@aroosa0817]

Your video was such a help for a first timer like me! Thanks!

[@danerorman]

Haven used a zippo since my days in Nam, thanks for helping me remember brother.

[@Dfeneck]

Thanks for the review. Very informative.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

This was helpful! I have a couple, one uses a gas inside device and one traditional as you have used here. I find they dry out quick, so that mini fuel bottle is good to know about. I love the look, feel and sound of them though, totally cool US invention!

[@joshschiff2586]

Just bought my first, thank you a lot, this really did help

[@eric36207]

Great video, thanks man. I just bought the same model from Walgreens for $1.99 on clearance.

[@creepzgaming7303]

[@forensicforager5589]

I have an older one that I found and was wondering how to get it to work, because now it only makes sparks, but I need a firestarter in case my Flint and Steel takes too long to get a fire going, so this was very helpful!

[@sanjanar110]

This is great 😁😁😁😁😁 Thanks so much. I wouldn't have known anything without this haha.

[@damon9693]

First time using a zippo really helped thanks

[@davidtorres8890]

Thanks it helps a lot

[@ryanstewart3640]

Cheers, this was helpful.

[@bailscar2099]

I like how when he was cleaning it to get the fluid off he just rubs it right on the spot soaked in lighter fluid after he shook the excess out.

[@paulhealy6390]

Thanks great video.

[@TheNerdzkrew]

[@jmscom]

[@XxXimewstarXxX]

thanks!

[@Thereal111t]

Also nice review!

[@InteliGear]

Thank You! InteliGear.

[@viciousbloodbath]

Hey, thank you for this video. I had been wondering why my zippo lighter was having it's fuel evaporate to the "angel's chair" so often (sometimes in a matter of just a few days) and you actually covered it at 17:40. I'm not a smoker. You cover a lot of ground in this video and I appreciate it, because you're the only person who's even touched on my concern with my zippo being filled, then evaporating so quickly. One question that I do have for you: Are you familiar with the idea of "purging the air out of a lighter?" I've seen people on the internet talking about "purging" their lighter. Now does that deal with zippo lighters, or does purging have to do with butane lighters? Thanks again.

[@jakebailey5537]

butane

[@rayvonjohnson900]

thank you

[@kostasslapsinskas7751]

great vid thanks a lot beacouse i realy what to buy it but i dont know how to refil or change the flint but thanks

[@tonysorto9762]

Dude thank you so much u save my zippo I was going to throw it away I didn't know it needed fluid I thought it didn't work lol😂

[@tessjealyssann]

Lay man? That’s me! Just bought my first zippo and I’m 48!

[@giovannirojo28]

Thanks for video I neede help just go one

[@GTPRIME209]

Its Good for 4th of July

[@babylongate]

hey, if I open it like that for how long does it last , precise that amount of fluid that you used ? thanks

[@fredt7614]

Save any old BIC lighters people throw out. The flint in those will work in a Zippo. It only takes a minute to rip it out.

[@RussianVitamines]

also, even if its wind proof, the wick burns out faster in wind, or when the lighter are not stright up

[@TheYoungKhalifa420]

Every when do you have to change the flint ?

[@CerridwenVids]

First time 'Zippo' user and I stupidly watched another video that said 'fill it completely up'. Thank goodness I watched this video telling me the dangers of doing that. Luckily I'm not a smoker, got my first lighter for candles, incense etc. I do have one question though, are these lighters okay being tossed in a bag etc.? I keep thinking that if it's already a little on the over filled side, would it leak out?

[@tvk-9cop]

i used charcoal grill lighter fluid and it works

[@TheNotoriousJLB]

It's easy for me

[@mustangrt8866]

I leave a piece of plastic on the felt so i can use it as screwdriver/tool, I dont like scratching the cover. And i always add a gasket to the flint bolt, you can get one from disposable lighters. as for beginners, dont cut the wick, just wash it in gasoline/zippo fluid

[@TheLiquifactor]

hi i was wondering where do i buy one of those little refill bottles? and whether there is a cheap alternative? thanks

[@smokingphoenix8]

I've had my zippo for almost a year and I wish I watched one of these when I got it.

[@sensitivesystem420]

On behalf of all the layman thank you 🙏

[@Thereal111t]

If you want a bombproof (almost) way to carry a larger amount of fuel in a backpack fill an 11oz msr bottle with coleman fuel. Coleman fuel burns in an identical manner to zippo or ronson. Also it's a lot cheaper. Believing it or not msr bottles have holes in the threads of the cap that allow precision dispensing of the fuel. If you are running a white gas campstove either a coleman or a more compact backpacking model you can run your lighter on the same fuel. I keep a zippo overhaul and maintenance kit in each car kit. Each kit includes an 11 oz msr bottle, 3 wicks, 10 flints and an old beater zippo in case I loose the edc one. Another trick that works with zippos and the hand warmers, is to vacuum seal a full one with a food saver. They will hold their fuel indefinitely as long as the seal is not broken.

[@InteliGear]

I knew of the small hole in the MSR bottles but not the Coleman fuel. Also the food saver idea is excellent as well. I gave my compact Coleman stove to my brother as well as the MSR bottle. My reasoning was due to the weight and finding more fuel in the woods. I have an empty vodka bottle that is just like the MSR so I will use that. It was a good deal seeing that I got booze and a free aluminum camping bottle! I have gone to more lightweight stoves for my bug out bag I.E. Esbit or Trangia. My idea is to only use these smaller stoves only when absolutely necessary I.E. when wanting to remain stealthy. Otherwise the woods have plenty of fuel for cooking. I do need to get a zippo tune up kit together though. Good stuff thanks! InteliGear.

[@piapot2115]

When do u know to refill it and like change the flint?

[@oaktownraiderssuperbowl5146]

I am getting a gold one with a scorpion insignia

[@THC-Real-Medic]

Thanks for the video lol my dumbass thought it was ready to light thinking it already had fluid, if it wasn't for your video I would've probably never use my lighter

[@danielaparicio3692]

Just bought one...Do I have to put fluid in?

[@chillindeluxe6231]

what else can you use instead of lighter fluid?

[@andresarmijos3868]

is there a way to replace that little rope?

[@jonathanosako4235]

if I use isopropyl alcohol as fuel instead what will happen?

[@Thereal111t]

...one more thing sorry... At one point you mentioned the flint that disintegrated... Ferrocerium is very prone to corrosion. That's the main reason the flints come painted. One thing they hate is salt water. Get salt water in the actual metal and it's done in short order. The paint protects it. I keep a flint under the felt and that disintegrating flint issue has only happened to me once. I assumed that the paint was defective and that was the cause. In my opinion it's best to discard partial flints and also to remove partial flints prior to storage. A rotten flint is a pain in the butt when jammed in the tube.

[@InteliGear]

Thats is most likely what happened. That is why I keep mine in the bottom now instead of under the felt. It has only happened to me with the red flints though, Never the gold ones. I use the gold now but better safe than sorry. Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

[@harigunawan6980]

hello, i wanna ask if when we buy zippo but they doint give ronsonol, is there anything else we can use to light it up ? maybe fill it with other liquid ? thanks

[@Windschutzscheibe]

you can fill it with every kind of fluid that can be catch on fire, even with gasoline.:D that's why the US soldiers used so much of them.

[@frankiebigrings7048]

can I fill it with the Stuff used for charcoal

[@jenifferhernandez9295]

LOL .. I was wondering the same thing. I bought Zippo's before as gifts but never own one till last night i found one at a gas station with my favorite NFL team logo. ;) And to me they both smell the same, and that same thought cross my mind..

[@JoseDono1]

Anyone knows the music at the start? I have been looking for it for a long time! Thank you!

[@Chris-iq5pr]

Evence Wang Darude Sandstorm

[@narucraft1000]

can it be any fuel or has to be lighter fuel

[@sappynos6440]

I have a dumb comment but i just bought one and i cant light it it has lighter fluid and lint but its not working

[@trkvibe8835]

I just got one today and i love it but I'm only 14 so i don't put any fuel in it yet but my father has no problem with me putting fuel in it my mom kinda but she thinks its better for me to just not put any right now. But I'm fine with it i love just having it with me

[@jasonmercierii9411]

how do you take out the fire do you turn the spinner backwards or do you blow it out

[@tavischiopu4511]

+Jason Mercier II LOL you made me laugh SO HARD when I read ''turn the spinner backwards"

[@kegster9608]

Is the yellow part necessary?

[@gamin9freakyguy327]

11:20 u can use hand oil as well

[@youngkim637]

Hey do I need to replace the Flint at the beginning?
