Fun Zippo fact: The hole in the felt on bottom of the inside of the lighter (where it says "Lift to fill") is meant to store an extra flint.

[@concernedcitizen8031]

@@woofy8373 Well, an extra flint fits perfectly!

[@zdd6175]

What i usually do is take the outer casing off, open the lighter fluid with the lip of the casing, and use the pointy part to poke into the hole and open it up. Please tell me im not the only one

[@mustangrt8866]

I don't like putting a flint in fuel

[@ChiefSpookyFish]

Yes that's what the hole in the felt is designed for. If you look at the instruction booklet that comes with the zippo box it says to store an extra flint there. Most people don't know about it because nobody reads the instructions

[@ChiefSpookyFish]

@@mustangrt8866 It's what the little hole is designed for, and if you fill it correctly the flint is not stored in the fuel. You are supposed to lift the felt and soak the cotton underneath it, not like how the guy in this video does it. There's a reason it says "lift to fill" 3 times in capital letters.

[@jojorobino5312]

I class it into 3 categories now obviously there are many in between and beyond. Zippo, Bic and matches. Zippo is my favorite, good windproof flame, tough design, love the click, great as a smoker. Bic, cheap, lasts for a long time and a flame when you need one. Matches, cheap, and of course these dont run out until the box or book is done. Ive had weeks with others but years with a zippo. No lighter can come close to replacing it.

[@ollie_d98]

(not sure if already mentioned in comments) a simple solution to stop it leaking fluid onto a surface when refilling is to flick up the piece opposite to the striker wheel and then turn it upside down and it will slide into the case, so any fluid leaking will stay at the bottom of the case and can get absorbed by the cotton after a few uses.

There have been aftermarket butane inserts for Zippo's for a while now, either torch or regular, but Zippo themselves finally dropped their own versions, a single torch insert, double torch insert or a rechargeable X arc insert. Pretty awesome! I use a metal Clipper with a LighterBro lighter case right now and I don't think I could give up the extra functionality of my case to rock one of my Zippos, but I may keep one in my bag with one of the torch inserts for sure.

There is also another cool thing about Zippos I discovered recently: Zippo makes different inserts now. You can put in a Butane version, & the kind I recently invested in, a dual arc electric lighter. I don't smoke. 🚬 So, the fuel would just evaporate in my case, so the arc insert is ideal, since it is mini usb rechargeable.

You forgot the lifetime warranty on Zippos, and they have both a butane and an electric inserts that can be swapped for the standard windproof insert.

In the canadian winter butane lighters tend to get too cold to work if they are out of your coat for a few seconds so for winter camping its matches and a zippo, for the summer tough i just carry a bic around as it can get dunked in water and is pretty much indestructible

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Makes sense, what sort of - C temperatures are those? I tried testing that by putting some butane lighters in the freezer for a while but after I got them out they all worked, that would be -4C or something though, nowhere near as cold as it can get inside the arctic circle.

Great video, a bit off topic but i can hear very slight shaking in my gas mask filter but its not leaking, is it safe to use and will it work? it sounds like the charcoal is moving in there, but is it normal?

Sometimes that's just because the filter is not 100% crammed with charcoal granules so they move around a bit if you shake the filter, is the filter sealed properly and in date? If so it should work fine.

Zippo lighters, cheap, simple, reliable, and will last for generations. You can buy one for 10 bucks at Walmart and it will outlast your great grandchildren.

I could buy a cheap ass piece of Chinese junk at the dollar store, but I'm not going to, the " proudly made in America " zippo is a nifty little piece of machinery, and I really like mine, I have the brass 1937 replica model and it's as cool as cool can be.

You can hold an extra flint in the bottom of the lighter where the hole is. You can also buy small containers to carry with you, its about the size of a regular Bic lighter, that'll keep extra fuel in it and a flint. I have one but haven't used it in about a year, it still has fuel in it. I personally love Zippo lighters. I also have a little Zippo pouch that slides on my belt. Its pretty nice to know exactly where your lighter is, every time you need it.

got my first in 1968. a zippo can; be a lighter for most anything, it can be a stove, a pocket or foot warmer, it can cauterize wounds (or just make scars to tell lies about later), it can seal wounds, it can create wounds; asphyxiate, burn, cut or as a brass knuckle, it can be used as a signaling device, and finally, it can be used to pick up chicks if you know how to snap it open and light it with one movement... wait, when the hinge pins fall out, it can be used to take up space in the junk drawyer

Zippos are fun fidget spinners for adults, but they compare to modern lighters the way an abacus compares to a calculator.

[@justsomesaltyboi8716]

i believe that everyone at the very least should have owned a zippo. even if you arent a smoker, you can still utilize it. The staple of the lighter in itself is so synonymous with the history of our country just as much as the lever-action rifles are. i cant think of any lighter that you can use that is good for the environment (due to less waste, you can recycle the fuel tins), and you can just get new parts should you need them. i think it also teaches you carefulness and patience when using just a zippo. the brass one looks really nice though, i might just pick up a solid brass one on amazon while im out on my trip. i managed to snag a free collectible harley davidson zippo with it's tin from my neighbor who left it in one of the drawers of his throwaway things. i dont even bike. take care of your things and they will take care of you :D

[@thorgraum1462]

You can put tape around the seam to preserver the fuel

[@dananjayachan]

it written lift to fill, not read it?

[@TonyTechnic]

I like the lighter's you can buy at the Dollar Tree for $1.00

[@shallowgod5539]

Markus Brackley RIP

[@tikkidaddy]

Until they crack...hope you have a few😃

[@chironthecuddley6144]

So you like crack lighters.

[@iamjackscompletelackofsurp9606]

I heard zippos were developed for soldiers during WWII so they could light up in all weather conditions

[@yourlocalguitarist9578]

Love ur vids man keep up with the good work

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Cheers

[@erictingsee]

It seems Zippo lighter fluid also evaporated out of their bottles.

[@MegaScooter500]

Where can I find naptha in the UK? The branded lighter fluid is so expensive...

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

You can buy it in bulk online, otherwise hardware stores I guess.

[@Heikki_Finland]

Not sure what you have there but i have been super happy finding fuel meant for small 4-stroke engines such as lawnmowers. I get it 2 €/liter instead of the 20+ €/liter for real lighter fluid, and it's just as good as the real one except it evaporates even faster. At that price though i'm happy to refill the lighter more often. Americans have some Coleman camping fuel or something that works for them.

[@allenvela243]

I just got the Zippo Brand torch insert of the Official Zippo Website. Made this year you should definitely check it out.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Cheers I will soon

[@anthonylowder6687]

Compared to any other type of lighter Zippo is THE BEST LIGHTER OF ANY!!!!

[@TheSillyslik40]

the hole in the felt pad is for an extra flint you lift the felt pad to fill the lighter base!

[@vengfulspoon104]

I love zipos and im kinda a piro and just like to watch the flame (constan use) do you have any suggestions

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Well if you want to watch a flame constantly maybe get a candle

[@Texo_McKevo]

What do you think on zippos lighting cigars?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Supposedly effects the taste, but I've quit smoking now anyway

[@GingaJamiesBMX]

Hello mate how would I go about contacting you in regards to identifying a gas mask? Cannot find this mask anywhere on the internet. For sale or in any collections, was kind of hoping you might have one? I could email a few photos of the mask if you're willing?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

You'd have to post photos on an image sharing site and then link them in a KZbin comment, I don't have a private contact for regular comments.

[@GingaJamiesBMX]

Weaponsandstuff93 imgur.com/a/2fClb6O Only marking on the mask is for size 3. My guess is any of the countries that were under the ussr

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Chinese M64 tank gas mask, sort of a copy of the Soviet MM1.

[@GingaJamiesBMX]

Weaponsandstuff93 Interesting thanks! My first asian gas mask then.

[@jarikinnunen1718]

I found non-vaporize fluid lighter. German war time screw cap model. Need flint and wick. I bought ZIippo repairs and wick and flint fit. Zippo flint diameter is 2.3 mm

[@Krylon103112]

I think you might of forgot that you can use different fule for them. Like high proof alachol.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

I've tried that before, most other fuels don't work very well.

[@wagstag89]

I think for the price of a bic or a basic Zippo there's no reason not to own both. The bics are dependable and have a much longer shelf life but Zippos perform better in wind and can be rebuilt with everyday items like cotton and can run on different fuels. You can even use the flint from bic lighters in a Zippo. Back when I used to smoke there were many times where I had lost all of my bics so I'd grab an old Zippo add a little fluid and be back in business.

[@imoopancaketm1353]

I loved this video as it was very informative, although I’d recommend not blowing it out as it wears out the fuse 👍👍

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Cheers

[@chironthecuddley6144]

This is coming from an avid smoker, but I love how they give your cigarette a better taste compared to other lighters once you break in the wick.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Lots of people hate that weirdly, guess it's like Marmite

[@ExecutionerDan]

Wait. Seriously? I didnt know using different lighters changed the flavor. I'm personally not a smoker so I wouldn't know this.

[@shawnlizeleatherdale4052]

I have to agree , tastes different if it wasn't lit with a Zippo

[@Shrimplington]

Getting anti brexit ads on youtube. Who is wasting their money on all these ads, they are everywhere now.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Very strange.

[@Peter-200]

Wouldn’t mind a no deal
