Flash your Zippo lighter here

[Trenchfriend]

Right now, filled my black 5 bucks Zippo knock-off. Now, we will see, if these really run shorter.

The Cerulean Zippo (like the Candy Apple Red) is also a wonderful EDC! It simply has the nice cluey grip going on.

 

[Trenchfriend]

The Zippo knock-off (leftside) ran 14 days including some use. Not bad.

Now going on with my regular pipe Zippo.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Sorry, mistake!

My Terrazzo Zippo isn't a pdc-Zippo, it's still the "Copacabana Planeta Brazil" model, seemingly from the "DeAgostini Collection".

 

[Trenchfriend]

This is another Zippo, I never saw, before. Zippo Germany mailed me, that this was an wholesale-exclusive model.

[Trenchfriend]

Aaah, first I didn't realize, that it is a "Black Ice" Zippo, but indeed! Sometimes, you have to look twice...

A 02/A 02
Black Ice #150 Black Forest

Wholesale/retail exclusive edition.

How long will a standard Zippo maintain fluid level?

Closed jacket pocket 2 to 3 weeks, including some use. That's the trick, in my experience.

I have more than one of these. Nothing fancy. Just basic models. I need them to be functional. I was taught redundancy. Have a backup for the backup. I'm ready to light a barbeque, campfire, cigarette, candle, sticks of incense, or whatever.

@Fifty150
Double torch reliable?

 

[Fifty150]

Works fine. It was cheaper than the single. Of course, it probably uses more fuel.

About 12 years ago my dad got this as a gift from a customer who knew he was in the ARMY, and he thinks you have to be a smoker to have use for a lighter so he gave it to me.
I don't smoke but I do use lighters for thread and paracord...etc

Funny, that you mentioned that here!!

A Zippo with "US Army" is another one, I want for my collection! But we currently don't have the style here, I prefer.

Like this ones.

But I will watch out outside my central area, occasionally!

Armor Brushed Brass running since 15 days!

I don't really like this US ARMY logo all that much, but it is better than the very latest US ARMY logo.
It grew on me some over time, I just prefer the old ARMY crest far far more.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Different question!

Were the "Time Tite" Zippos expensive? How old are these series??

I just love the idea of a Zippo with a quartz watch in my pocket!

 

[Trenchfriend]

But finally, the "Mercury Glass Matte" is def. grippier than the basic "Black Crackle".

The kid found an old lighter I thought I had lost years ago. Nothing terribly significant about it. He collects them, I don't, so I let him keep it.

KTVW (now KCPQ) aired from 1954–1974, so it at leasts dates back to 1974.

Ive got a couple of zippo pipe lighters... one chrome and one brushed brass. Chrome stays cleaner but I just like the look of the brass... just takes a bit more maintenance to keep it clean. Tried one of their soft flame butane pipe inserts, but I burned my fingers every single time i tried to use it... Also had a butane cigar insert but it ran out of fuel too fast ( and burned the rim of my pipes too easily

... back to the old school pipe inserts and zippo fuel for me
