I don’t smoke or anything, but I’ve always been fascinated with zippo lighters. Unlike typical lighters you can buy at gas stations, you don’t have to hold down the wheel for maintain a consistent flame; instead, with a zippo, you flick it and you get a steady flame and when you’re done all you have to do is close the lid.

[@hYro_Z]

[@richardfrost7575]

I'm 61 years old, don't smoke anymore, however I still have and have owned many zippy lighters ( also knockoff versions) they are the best for what they are. Getting to my point is you can overfill your lighter and not find out until it's too late. That slow and intensifying warmth to burning feeling on your thigh. To avoid this and still get maximum fill will be learned fairly soon, edged on by the consequences of overfill . The best way to test for slight overfill is to, close lighter grip with thumb bottom index finger top, using thumb and index finger of other hand, rapidly rubb in circular motion at the seem between lid and base for a fair amount of time to worm up the metal. If you detect any fluid you are overfilled. If it is just a slight smear you can usually burn off the excess by lighting lighter for a minute or so, anything more than that requires extended usage before putting in your pocket or more creative measures to reduce fluid volume. Time and experience are great teachers. Note: I know for a fact that fluids are different from what they used to be ( zippo fluid for tennis ball cannons. Ronson fluid not so good because of inhibitors) none work the same as they used to. Hope this helps someone.

It really does help your lighter fluid last much longer to re pack the cotton and wick. I used to have to top off almost daily. Now I fill up about once a week. I don’t lift the felt flap when I fill... I just poke the fluid nozzle through through the hole and gently squeeze till it starts dripping out of the bottom.

pro-tip: you can take the flint out of clippers by undoing the white screw at the bottom of the removable flint holder thing and taking out the flint and putting it in your zippo. It works with other lighters too but it's easier to get them out of clippers. the flint sometimes goes flying away when you try to take it out of a regular 'crack lighter'.

Regular Zippos leak vapour from the hinges so 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.

Go to any zippo videos and the comments are all heartwarming and you'll find some that are nostalgic and makes you remember those youthful blooming days. Damn. I'm not even 30 yet yall comments make me feel like I'm 50 reminiscing on my memories of the first time I had a zippo, damn. Keep up folks.

I have that exact kind. Does it have to be zippo premium or can I use butane?

[@vshcvsh98]

Thanks for the tutorial homie. Most dont undo the whole thing and show how the flint and wick works so I really appreciate that man. Have a good one man. ✌🏽

[@InspiredDisorder]

Glad I could help

[@kalebmayhue7195]

Well I watched this whole entire guide and still managed to burn my hand lol

[@CameronFlint07]

Thank you for this! Perfect pacing and instruction for a newbie to Zippo like me. :-)

[@InspiredDisorder]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rickclark2502]

I want to say I followed the instructions and lit on the first try. Thanks

[@ubrax8161]

Did you have to do the first part where he pulled out the cottoon And do you need to change cotton every so and then and the rope?

[@skertygerty6524]

no

[@InspiredDisorder]

You get more use when you expand the wick (rope). Helps it soak up the fuel. No need to replace cotton.

Pro zippo life hack here you don't need to get flints just find an empty disposal and get the flint from it witch is better than zippo's

Clipper owners: "My lighter is so cool" Zippo owners: "That's cute"

[@hyperboytkl1077]

I store my spare flints about 3 at a time underneath my zippo inside the casing. Very convenient. Amazingly my zippo can go too on kerosene lamp fuel.

[@angelcano2666]

Do you need that exact zippo fluid or can you use any type?

[@GHerrera93]

Great video! Now I want a Zippo, they should pay you man

[@InspiredDisorder]

My favorite Zippo is the *st. Benedict* but in my country they don't sell it, what's your favorite Zippo?

[@shadowdamien6460]

With my zippo, the top of the lighter (the hinge i guess? top of the hinge? Anyway the lid, ill call it that) catches on the chimney of the lighter, any ideas on how i can fix that? It doesnt seem like you had that problem, so im curious.

[@Buenopablito]

I used to "collect" these in college and use them for smoke (I only have 8 because they are expensive in my country) and even found one of my grand uncle, a model from the 70's according to the code below. These are pretty good lighters with the BIG failure of the fuel liquid. You have to fill these things every week even if you don't use it because it evaporates. Even if you don't smoke (I personally quit it two years ago) they are good for some sick tricks or even just to show of. That being said, no matter if it's venting, the Zippo will always light on and will survive almost anything.

[@user-oo9zt9ri3n]

bought one yesterday i love it, really satisfying and fun. biggest complaint tho is that it can run out whenever- yesterday i dudnt fill it alot i thought i was going to send it to repair cause the door wouldnt close all the way (i fixed it) and when i was outside it randomly was just out of fuel, but still awesome

[@supahcomix]

i just got a yellow one of these, i painted a green orb at the front of the lighter in reference to heat man from that megaman game

[@idkrandomotaku3017]

Do you need to make the wick zigzag threw the cotton or not, like is it mandatory???

[@jonathandunn3852]

"Never had trouble lighting my....uhh...smoking material" im dead bro

[@rossmac3084]

excellent video...clear and very thorough for a novice like me...perfect....many thanks

[@InspiredDisorder]

Thank you so much

[@ralphthebulldog5163]

[@aniqanuar6320]
