Unboxing Zorro War Armor + Review

[@ludmillamantovanni9073]

I bought one war armor after watching, crazy.. the case quality really leaves zippo in the dust... Zippo really need to up their game if their wannabe is better than the original 😤 This zorro war armor will probably outlive me so the hell with lifetime guarantee

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Haha yeah zorro is great. But they Didnt come up with that design. They stole it from Carson War Armor which was the original

[@ludmillamantovanni9073]

@@Zippofanatic77outdoors they ripped off another ripoff and ended up better than the original.. you made it sound even worse than I did 😂 But it fixed everything ppl keep complaining about zippo. Sturdy hinge, perfect alignment lid, no overbite or underbite, no fuel evaporation issue,basically fit for the name "ARMOR" Btw I mistakenly bought the even armorer lighter which is thicker and has more hinges than the one in this video, too heavy for everyday use I think..

[@tutortle1820]

​@@Zippofanatic77outdoorsat this point it doesn't matter if they "steal" it if they make it better than the original

[@williamgrissom1995]

I just bought one and it will only take about 60 days to be delivered. 🤣 But it beats paying an extra 20 bucks to buy one already in the US.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Lol def worth the wait to save 20$ I think your gonna enjoy it and order some more stuff.

[@bobbyfischer13]

Have you tried the 538? Curious how it compares to the 912. Slightly smaller in size - if you have both can you show in a short video?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Don’t have one buds sorry. Never seen or held on either

[@Zippoguy338]

love mine and that original carson war armor is very cool i like the round top im getting a zorro 912 i already have a 912s which i love

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah man the zorros are sweet. Fluid lasts good in them tok

[@mustafaemreocalan7135]

i wanna buy a zorro lighter but i dont know how big witch model is, it would be cool if you could helf me out on finding the name of the model of the zorro lighter that is about the size of a zippo and can take the zippo inserts. it would be awsome if you could help me out and maybe even sent me a like of the exect model. thank you and love❤

[@weaponized_saltiness]

Have you ever considered shooting the lighter and see how well it holds up compared to a Zippo?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

I’m sure it would hold up way better lol but i ain’t chucking money out the window to find out

[@BillyBobBoBilly]

Hey bud, great videos. Question though, on one of your videos of these thick, in-frame hinged, o-ring Zorro flip lighters, you said there was a size even larger than the beefier one of the two (as far as I can tell, the standard big one coming in at 150 grams is the '912', and the larger one is 210 grams called the '912s',) but I haven't found the size above the 912s like you said existed. Would you have a link of some other site where it could be viewed? Thanks for your content man, I believe I went up to Sault Ste. Marie once as a little kid, but I can't remember if it was a relative in my state (Michigan) or if it was on your Ontario side. Lots of Michiganders have family on the other side too, and afaik travel used to be fairly loosey goosey

[@andhieyusuf7008]

I've heard that the silicone o-ring Zorro put on these are not thick enough to seal the lighter proper. Is that true?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

No idea. But when I fill it and let it sit there it lasts months.

[@SmartFool24]

I have a knockoff titanium Zorro armor that fits normal zippo inserts with a piece of painters tape but it will not fit the butane zippo inserts, the soft flame or torch. Have any ideas how I could make them fit? Was considering filing down the side bumps in the insert a hair on each side.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Have u considered getting a zorro butane insert? I wouldn’t file anything off a zippo insert. Also if it’s got a rubber seal lid I would only use fluid anyways.

Are the brass ones just solid, polished brass? Also, are the chrome ones also brass underneath? And, between a Zorro double torch insert and a Zippo double torch, which would be better as far as fit and reliability are concerned?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

The zorros are solid brass yes. The chrome ones are solid brass with chrome over it. I would get zorro torch. They are more reliable. Also u can get 4 of them for the price of one zippo one.

Which seller on aliexpress is the best to buy a Zorro from? There are so many it’s hard to tell which one’s are legit.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Not sure but I ordered from multiple different sellers they were all legit. Aliexpress is backed just like eBay. U will not get ripped off and get your money back.

[@vitorbravo5535]

usually a nice tip on buying on aliexpress is the number of ratings, units sold and reviews. If a product has 2,000 units sold with a rating of let's say 4.6 stars, a decent amount of reviews it's legit. See the pictures on the reviews as well to get a more real feeling of the product. And check the shipping costs too. Some have set them high

[@vitorbravo5535]

to add to my reply i'd like to say that you should favor higher ratings. 4.8 or 4.9 stars is usually the normal. most of the products are between these ratings. So don't worry

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

@@vitorbravo5535 yeah that’s a good addition.

I’m torn about these. On one hand, if you buy one you are supporting a company that steals designs, but on the other hand they are so cheap and high quality. This happens a lot with these Chinese companies.

Yea I agree. I never had to pay for one so the choice was easy but the flawless design really make u think.

[@benfennell6842]

"Steals designs?" do you know when the zippo was designed? 1936 Patent. The guy who designed it died in 1978. Do you think that BMW is "Stealing designs" from Henry Ford?

[@collecter3456]

@@benfennell6842 The difference is, when the Ford first came out there was nothing quite like it. You can argue that everything is a stolen design but at some point in time it wasn’t. Once a patent expires it’s a free for all. The problem is, most products that come from China are either a direct copy or reverse engineered from something else. This is because things aren’t protected under patents in China like they are here. A patent on a product in the U.S does fuck all if a company in China gets ahold of it. This is why it’s a moral dilemma when ordering anything from China.
