Basically Zippos are becoming more international which means more profits for zippo but also makes them susceptible to economic wars. But they can also set another factory like what they did with Canada at some point.
True however they’ll never open one in China , if they did China would quit buying them , they want American made lighters so there’s pros and cons , I personally want America to use zippo again , like they use to but the anti smoking laws passed in Congress are doing two things at once killing tobacco here yet making them rich over seas as well , it irritates me to an extent they do this at the federal level
The "Factory" in Canada was never a real factory not one Zippo was made from Canada, all they did was bottom stamp plain and designed Zippos (from the US) with "Niagara Falls, Ontario" and pack and shipped the Zippos from Canada The "factory" in Canada was a Tax Dodge for Zippo from 1949 to 2002
Valid concerns, but: 1. setting up a new factory doesn't solve a demand-side issue, 2. Chinese people like Zippos *specifically* because they're American, and will pay a lot to get an authentic one, and 3. the more sanctions, economic warfare, or bans are slapped onto a particular item in China, the cooler it is to be seen with that thing. Zippo's only problem with domestic consumers is that they've become makers of pocket-sized Harley Davidsons, lol.
@comradetman3784 I wholeheartedly agree! I think the tobacco age was a lobbyist move. Unrelated, but Congress should impose term limits for the house of representatives, which will probably never happen because for 1 doing so would not benefit themselves and 2 they are the ones making the legislation, so of course they wouldn't "shoot themselves in the foot" so to speak. Sorry for the little rant and those are some MIGHTY cool Zippos you got there!! 90 plus years unchanged otherwise 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
how can there be increased demand with all the smoking is bad younger generations ditching smoking and vapes coming about so thought prices were going up because decreased demand
If you think about it using Zippo lighters instead of Bics is probably better for the environment because your not constantly throwing out cheap plastic lighters
The biggest wtf moment I have with Zippo is them using the same hinge on Standart and Armor cased lighters. I mean..why is it so hard to make the stronger hinge for the Armor Zippo? :D
A little insight on the American market, i'm an 18 year old and majority of people over the age of 15 have smoked weed. I own lots of zippos, but I don't know anyone else who does. Teens/young adults almost never smoke cigs (Everyone vapes instead), but lot's smoke weed. They all use bics or those clipper lighters. I've let my friends use my zippo, they think it looks cool, but they genuinely have trouble using it because they aren't used to the lighter staying lit if you don't close the lid. Additionally, normal Zippos cannot be used with pipes or other marijuana utensils, you need a pipe zippo. I have a pipe zippo, I find it easier to use than a bic on pipes and bongs, but my friends hate it, they burn themselves on it because they have trouble closing it with one hand. I feel like they'd get the hang of it though if they bought one themselves. I feel like Zippo should maybe try pushing the pipe lighters a bit more, since most younger people smoke a lot more weed compared to tobacco. Or maybe they should try improving their butane inserts, and start selling Zippos that come standard with them. Zippos are also pretty expensive for a lighter, most young adults are gonna get a $1 lighter over a $25 lighter. Also I feel like lots of people in my age group aren't willing to maintain these lighters, you need to refill Zippos and replace the flints often as well, hense why I think they should start pushing Zippos that come with the butane inserts as they don't need much maintenance.
Anymore rn my life is so depressing I’m baked every night , tho I’ve lit pipes with zippos , regular ones , can be done , but I mean fuck I recently got a 420 friendly zippo , plan to get a second nicer one two the armor deep engraved one because they discontinued it in January
Agreed and damn good job presenting your argument. You can get a string of hemp to light with your zippo and then light your bong bowl or bowl with the lit string of hemp. Inhaling no burned fuel gases is the idea here
Thank you for your insights. I found them very helpful, but counter-intuitive (in a positive way that makes me think). Comrade T MAN, what ShadowDotNet is saying means that demand for Zippos should be DECREASING, which means that the prices should be decreasing. Do you have any insights as to why prices are increasing? Thanks.
I am from India & I love Zippo. Been using it for 1 decade now. The Perfect Lighter except one drawback - its fuel lasts just for a week barely. But still it's the Best lighter ever made 👌👌👍
That's right. I'm a musician and Japan and China have just about bought up all the vintage USA made guitars and then they jacked the prices up sky high. People that don't even smoke use lighters. Who wants to breathe sulfur from matches.. Valuable necessity.
Zippo (ZMC) has been targeting sales overseas for the past 30 years. As for China I know that Zippo has "workers" in China not in factories but smaller engineering and design outlets and Zippo has been shipping thousands of (plain) lighters of every different finish you can think of to Japan just for the Japanese Market. Most of those "plain" Zippos then get sent from Japan to China and have the designs or engravings put on them and sent back to Japan for sale. Why ? because the Chinese can do these designs cheaper and have the skills to do this. Interesting Video Thank you
That’s the thing stop selling to an adversary of the United States , is it really doing any harm to the us ? No , but they could get screwed if they decide “ zippo is a capitalist product of evil “ buy good old Winnie the Pooh who’s in charge over there .
Even the French do ! I bought a brand new one after finding an old zippo that worked strait out of the tool box it was in for years. Just had to put fuel in it ! Great product that we support
A $20 Zippo is a cheap novelty to an American, but to a Chinese person it's a luxury item that costs nearly a full day's pay for an office worker in Beijing. It's a status symbol. They're cool and edgy in a way that Chinese people just can't get enough of, on top of being a flex to pull out. Even the *communist party representative* at my office had one. Blaming the popularity overseas for their declining market share in America doesn't make much sense, though. Don't blame foreigners for loving a country's product more than its own people do. As for trade wars and sanctions don't even worry. These guys will literally take out a bank loan to fly over to Japan or Korea on cheap flights, then load up suitcases for resale in China.
"They" (which would be the state legislature) raised the smoking age to 21 in an effort to try, or at least pretend to try, to keep kids and young adults from smoking, as smoking is legitimately a health issue (no judgement). I guarantee you, Philip Morris did not lobby for this law to "be able to send more product overseas." Philip Morris's interests overseas are not remotely bound by how much product is sold here, and as a business, would want to maximize product in every region it can. Further, shipping is a cost to a business, not a profit center. Making a product more expensive to cover shipping does not positively impact a business. Philip Morris lobbied for the law as a stay to prevent further, tougher anti-smoking legislation; it was a puff piece they supported to create an image of responsibility, specifically aimed at reducing further legislative action that would regulate them further. As for why Zippos are getting more expensive? Same reason lots of collectibles are: watches, LEGOs, Zippos, and old video games are all getting more expensive because Millennials are getting older, have more money, and want to collect cool stuff as a distraction from the craziness of the post covid world. Hell, I have six Zippos and I don't even smoke.
6:07 True. The production tolerances were smaller back then. An easy to see difference is the way inserts are made today vs. back then: The ones, even in the early 1990s, were soldered. Look at the area around the striking wheel towards the base of it. Today, Zippo uses epoxy. Yeah, it's a minor difference. But to us, the collectors, users, they matter.
@@comradetman3784 and Dietmar, thanks for your comments. So, I'm new to the Zippo lighter world (like two days). In your opinion, are the 1990s and earlier inserts more durable than the current ones, such that, all things equal, I should be buying used inserts? If so, are there years or decades that are better than others?
@@maxmaxim5635 so to me zippo quality control has gone downhill just slightly since the 80s/90s , what I’d do is look for non expensive NOS flat stock 90s inserts , what I did because there a little tighter on quality control , if you watch my zippo video on my silver zippo , I’m using a NOS 90s insert so the silver doesn’t wear down on the inside ,
I’m not a smoker but I do have a few and they are good for camping or outdoor activities and they are great to have as a collector and the value sometime in the future
Greetings from Sunny Singapore, because of your videos saying Armor Zippos are better than the regular ones, I’m about to get my first Armor Zippo Lighter. The one in High Polish chrome. Should I get the one in silver #167 or gold #169. I cannot decide to be honest. Haha
@@RobinCarangi also dude I’ll go ahead and make a comparison video of a high polish brass armor to high polish chrome , that way you’ll know for sure Whitch you want , cause they wear differently ,
Is the lighter hinge backlash required to be on the lighter hinges or did the company start making it worse? I just noticed that some lighters have a backlash and some do not, more often it is on the usual production models and the rare ones that are for the collection more often it is not, why is this?
There is an annoying background noise coming from my apartment some were, and I have you playing on my tv to muffle the sound out. Am I going to be crucified on the cross for smoking? I'm thinking of buying all the Zippo products my online camping store sells would you like to see them if I do? The store is based in Australia.
Hopefully covid doesn’t cause to much of a delay, I’m bout to send in two for the hinge to be tightened and then I have one that has a broke hinge. They all three need inserts as well.
A zippo is actually not that hard to replicate tho, the real problem is whether they are willing to buy out these manufacturers from many different countries including China where they make zippo style lighters with the same materials as the original zippo (or even cheaper materials which they can sell a zippo style lighters for one dollar or two), and for third world countries people like me (who started enjoying zippo because of how iconic it is), a lighter that is in the shape of a zippo or has the mechanism of a zippo is enough for them to enjoy the coolness of using a zippo.
I own a few old Zippo lighters, app. 40 pcs, a Lot of them with American military engravings, for an example I have a brass lighter from the ship "USS IOWA" that I bought on the ship when this mighty ship visited Denmark back in the late 80's... What's the best place to Sell items like these. What's the average price for collectibles like these? Hello, any one...? 😁
Zippo's are cool everyone should have one but I don't think it's good for there health to smoke with them. I am making one for me and I will use to make small fire for marshmallow, it might be a better use for them.
I do not understand why do you buy from ebay and not directly from Zippo I mean they ship it for free if the order is 50 bucks or more. I always buy directly from Zippo here in Europe(Croatia)even though prices are higher than in USA. One last question high polish vs brushed brass in terms of durability your opinion. Have to say I am really enjoying the videos. ❤ ZIPPO 🔥
I smoked from age 10 - 48 through 2 lots of cancer but i only smoke weed and hash now but i carry a lighter everyday. I used to love American import Marlboro Red or Camels if i could get them (i live in England) my Ma bought me my first zippo when i was 15. A timeless brand. Ive only just thought to start collecting this iconic brand....i figure they will take up less space than the 100s of knives i presently collect 😂😂
i love my zippo, i use it every day just about, but if im being honest a bic is so much more reliable and a cheaper, bics are worse for the environment tho
The price now for Marlboro and camel zippos are going through the roof. Arnt zippo making these any more ? Or are they being made for only the asian countries because usa, Australia and the like are ripping smokers off by raising ciggie prices and telli g every one smoking is no good anymore and people are eating tubs of chicken and dieing heart related problems and its ok to smoke pot now. Haha. Anyway, piont is smoking is being squeezed. Love your videos.
Sir, can you put link where to buy in ebay? Actually, im from malaysia and this is the first time want to buy from ebay. Im really not into the ebay, but just want to try.

Technically you can refill a bic its just not recommended and it is more fuel efficient but i still dont care i love my brass zippo
@@thedislikebutton8111 same
Instead you throw fuel cans...

Unfortunately a lot of smokers in America don't like the hassle of having to refill zippos so much that's why everyone uses a Bic now.
