Just picked up my first brass finish zippo. Been carrying the same brushed chrome one for 20 years now. Almost exactly 20 years later, a beautiful armor brushed brass Zippo is ready to roadtrip. I had expected after 20 years to see some brass color showing, but even after two decades of traveling and adventuring, it looks pretty new. Ha. So, I gave up. The brass looks classy and the armor case feels great in the hand. I'll have to try these mods out. I never had any issue with anything going too fast on my chrome one, but if I can get more than a week out of it on the road without a refill, awesome! Cheers. 🔥

@@ZippoFanatic77 I already love it. It's the one I was planning on ordering, but my local cigar shop happened to have it today. They didn't have it last week. It called to me, and once I held it I knew it was the right one. I really like the extra weight of the armor and that they did a brass color insert. I'm excited to break it in for a few decades and see how it ages. I'm really enjoying your videos. I've been watching them the last few weeks. Great stuff about a great American product.

I've noticed that zippo does an amazing job with their chrome plating process, the brushed chrome is probably the most durable finish of any of the zippo lighters.

I think the reason they asked you is because cotton bacon is a wicking material commonly used for vaping, and the rule is that you have to be 18+ to be able to purchase anything vape-related. So i think that's why they asked you 😄

Yep, supplies for the consumption of nicotine. Next thing you know, Our Government of a FREE country will regulate caffeine... Then you will get 'carded' for a Coca cola or coffee.

Man I didn't think about changing cotton. My zippo is 2012 and I never changed it til now because I used to vape and it isn't cotton bacon that I just used. But it's organic and all that and man it holds triple the fluid and now it lights up with just one flick. Also trim the wick as well so it's like brand new again. Thank you. Can't wait to see how long it lasts now. Before I had to refuel every other day and I'm a pack a day smoker and I also light up candles as well with my zippo. So good looking out and I'll let you know when it's time to refuel it to let you know. The cotton name is Native Wicks premium blend cotton

Just to let everyone know why Cotton Bacon has less of the smell is because it was meant for wicking vape, we don't use those square cottons cause it has been processed, we prefer natural cotton, it' fluffy and it holds a huge amount of liquid and overall it's a good quality cotton, been rocking it for years and yes it works great on Zippo lighters as well 🔥🔥🔥
@eagleviewhd3 жыл бұрын
Buy VM&P Naphtha it is the same as Zippo Fluid, but at 1/3rd the cost! Another trick is to cover the outside of the lighter with a section of bicycle innertube. Find an old innertube that will fit snuggly around the outside of the lighter. It seals the lighter, so the fluid cannot evaporate. Just roll it down to open the lighter and use it.

The cotton should be a really long string with a diameter of ca. 15cm. It will last 100 years or more. Its nearly impossible to empty that bag.

Hey Zippo Fanatic great vid. Repacked one of my Father's old Zippos with Cotton Bacon Prime. Need to get more fluid and see how she does. Question: I have a Zippo with the name "Ray S. Koltz" engraved on it. Any idea who this is or was. I've done some searching and no luck. Also the top of the Zippo came off. Everything still there. No dents, kinks or other signs of abuse other than excessive wearing of the finish. The brushed finish is 70% intact with brass showing big time. Any advice on how to reattach top? Greatly appreciated. Liked and subbed.

Does shorter wick affect the ignition process? Will I need to strike it more times? Isn't it going to behave worse in windy weather? If you know any guitar players ask them for empty packiging from strings. It's basicly a thin aluminium foil (I think). It's indestructible and hold the insert perfectly. Worked better for me than the bag. Please make a video about flints and how often it's really necesarry to change them. Thanks!
