Last month my mom and I were looking for a keychain in a very old Japanese beautiful box that was my dads. I actually found something with so much more importance... his super old Zippo! The other day was his birthday and he made a visit. Miss him so much... he passed 4 years ago.
We're sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, but happy you found something so important! Do you know how old the lighter is? If not, you can find out more about our date codes in this video: ruclips.net/video/IjsIcJ9xd5s/видео.html
I once sent in three Zippo lighters that were broken to the repair clinic and let me tell you they did the best job I have ever seen they fix things that I spent days on trying to fix and I love being a proud owner of a Zippo
My grandfather had a zippo from the 1930s I found 15 years ago filled it up and it still works great after so many years good to have such a quality made lighter you really don't see quality like zippo anymore!
I sent my Zippo lighter back to the manufacturer a few weeks ago because the top became disconnected. Just received it back today with the top reconnected along with a new lighter insert. FWIW, this is the second time I have had to send this lighter for repair for the same reason and each time they honored their warranty.. It just doesn't get any better than this, Zippo is the best darn lighter on the market today and their warranty is unmatched. Thank you to whoever handled my lighter......
I have the black matte, street chrome, iced paisley, brass, and a whole box of misc. zippos. I love using these instead of bic lighters because you never have to worry about them not lighting. I’ve fixed every zippo I’ve ever found myself and it’s turned into a full blown hobby now.
Did you happen to get those Zippo's through a certain popular cigarette that has a merchandise for point system going? Those exact brands were offered. I have three of them and love them!! You can also sign up for e-mail from Zippo! It's really cool to see all they offer. Check it out. You won't be sorry!
Bought my first Zippo, it has a Grim Reaper holding a item made of bones holding lit candles, one of the best things I got with birthday money as it has been a long time coming that paid off. Can't wait to collect one every now and then to my flaming collection:)
Just got my very first zippo (vintage brushed chrome), and im in love with it! You should add a reminder to the guide about closing the "arm"! As i was filling, lighterfluid started coming out of the firehole
Just got my first zippo, I hesitated for a long time because I am very careless and I always lose lighters, like at least once a month and zippo is not exactly cheap, if I lose this one it will serve me right for not paying attention. But I love it so far! Prettiest pink lighter I've had.
Good to know, there are a lot of different methods of filling people do, but straight from Zippo them selves saying it's ok to put more fule in there, awesome. Thanks.
U guys Are the best. my grandpa is having a rare zippo American lighter. He doesn't know how much it's value is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and thanks for this video zippo forever
I bought a black matte regular sized zippo in Bangkok. Beautiful and simply a quality piece. Unfortunately, it got confiscated by the airport security people despite being a brand new and dry one. It’s sad it got taken away brand new. What’s funnier was that I had in its original box and receipt to prove it’s new but oh well. Later on, got myself another zippo but it’s an armor one. Repacked the cotton, fixed the wick, filled it up and now I’m using it for almost a month. This is awesome! It’s a blessing to be able to have one. One thing is that I noticed how the hinge have a little bit of play from brand new. Is this normal?
Like most people who comment here, I just bought my first zippo! I've wanted one for years, but don't really have an everyday use for one, so I never saw the need to buy one. Then just over the Easter Weekend, I saw a Cthulhu design on a zippo and being a horror, occult and H.P. Lovecraft fanboy, I just had to have it!
I got my first Zippo coming, with the classic gold numbered clock and a white skull ob a black background, then I got a friend the “I will work for weed” monkey lighter. I plan to collect many more soon.
The fuel inside must leak slowly, due to it not being air tight. How fast will a full one leak to nothing and did you ever consider making it air tight?
Zippo lighter fluid is a petroleum distillate, which means it will eventually evaporate even when not in use. There are a few things you can do to limit the evaporation, though. Make sure you keep the lid closed when you're not using the lighter, and keep it upright and away from heat or direct sunlight.
Just got a pipe zippo. I am only smoking outside, which can be very irritating with a butane lighter at times. My hopes are high that the zippo will ease my wind problems 😀
I just found my dads 7 year old zippo I usually just use bic lighters and didn’t have a clue on how to refill it now I’m in love with zipped it’s part of my everyday carry
A co worker got me a zippo for my birthday, it has the lucky four leaf clover on a white background just like the one used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I just need to fill it now👍
Well i tried this with butane, i had to use pleies because it had no cap, the whole thing turned to ice, i tried to ignore it and it exploded in my hand?? What wa si doing wrong?
@Zippo I was wondering how I can get rust off my spark wheel on my lighter, should I use WD-40 or lighter fluid and a toothbrush? Or what do you think? Will that mess it up please lmk I didn't know anywhere else too ask these questions.
Wow, Zippo's in Europe are way more expensive ("Brushed Chrome" the basic model 29€ = 32.54$). I got mine from the Zippo website (I wanted something 100% original). Although I never smoked, nor I'm planning to... 🙂
I used to do it that way, but now I lift the pad at the bottom. I was told many years ago that that hole was for carrying a spare flint. But that could be a old wives tale...
You don't need a pin to lift the pad, just use the nozzle off the lighter fluid, as the liquid won't come out off the nozzle until you squeeze the tin..Also that hole, you can put a flint there just incase the other one goes while you're out in the wilderness off a town centre. Lol.
Zippo, I have much more of your lighters now, but I have 2 or 3 of the basic chrome models, a few high polish colored ones, and two brass models. I also have the black and white matte as well
As for the zippo lighter fluid fuel metal container....remember back in the day when the cans/container were solid metal? Now, because every company always sells out, the metal container is flimsy thin sheet metal that waffles under the slightest pressure. I have to hold the top lip of the container so I don't spray the fluid everywhere. Thanks Zippo. You're doing a fine job bringing AMERICA down to 3rd world country status. I at least hope the Board Members are enjoying their wealth on their yachts laughing their heads off.

That can be a possible overfill. Try this method instead.
Fill it 5 secs
Wait 5 secs
Fill for another 5 secs
(You don’t have to thank me)
Just got my wife one for Christmas. Didn’t know how to fill it. Thanks. She’s enjoying it now

Good choice!

Thank you for sharing. its nice to know traditional style lighters are still better than ever.
I love how all the comments community are so chill in your videos😊😊😊good vibes
We do love fire and or to smoke and artwork like Zippos.
U guys Are the best. my grandpa is having a rare zippo American lighter. He doesn't know how much it's value is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and thanks for this video zippo forever
Just got a matte black zippo yesterday and its fucking awesome. Cant stop opening it and closing it the sound is so nice. Best lighter ever.
Ty Zippo, my first thought was "how can a lighter be so complicated" but then i realized this wasn't a lighter :3
I have exactly the same model you use in the intro of each video and I love it. Love you Zippo
That's what we love to hear! We're happy to be here for you!
I love my street chrome zippo.
We're glad you like it Kory!
My 1st Zippo is a Street chrome as well!
Thank you very much I did not know any of that except for how to start the flame.
That's what we're here for!
@@zippo I thought you were here to take my money and give me lighters
I don't know why I did play this video. Now I feel like an idiot yet it was satisfying to watch anyways. Somehow - worth it :]
I just think they're neat
Thanks man, my great nan got me a golden flip lighter for my 21st and I hadn’t a clue how to refill it
Fantastic!
Just got my first Zippo, an Armor High Polish Chrome, and it's awesome. Going to fill it right now for the first time.
I've been collecting for 3 years and today I reached 100 Zippos holy crap!
Edit: what exactly are armor Zippos for are they the tougher or something?
The armor cases are 1.5x as thick as our normal case.
Thanks I'll have to look into that
Nice Zippo collection. Zippo's the shiznet, like Popeye's Chicken. But do you have the Supreme x Zippo glow in the dark one?
I wish I had Indiana Jones’ Lucky Charm one.
Zippo’s are good for everyday use plus they are good in windy conditions.

Guess I'll come back here when I've fiddled with it so much that something needs replacing XD
I just got my very first zippo and I’m so happy
Once again RUclips taught me something my dad never did 🎉
I love how you say it’s a skin irritant
This may be a stupid question but, do you ever need to replace the absorbent packing material for the lighter fluid?
I got areund 30zippos im fan of them but never for smoking🤔
I heard, no matter it messes with the taste, maybe they should try zippo fluid ;)
I got my first Zippo coming, with the classic gold numbered clock and a white skull ob a black background, then I got a friend the “I will work for weed” monkey lighter. I plan to collect many more soon.
last week i found my old zippo, i forgot when i stop smoking i clean up and put in my secret drawer. been 30 years old now still good condition
May i ask how about the "rope thing" when you light it? Does it need to be replace again?
Can I use kerosene instead of zippo fuel? Is it as flammable as zippo fuel?
I never leave home without it :)
Smart!
How do I see when it's "full"? I don't when it is because it gets soaked in by that cloth
Umm I bought it and it looks like half of it is burning the flint wheel but the wheel isnt hot
thanks, now my zippo wont be messed up 👍
Another new customer. Campfire logo in boyscout blue.
I love opening it and hearing the click.
Did you know we trademarked that click? See it here: www.zippo.com/blogs/news/zippo-celebrates-its-signature-click-as-sound-trademark-is-secured

Make sure you keep the lid closed when you're not using the lighter, and keep it upright and away from heat or direct sunlight.
It usually dries out in about two weeks give or take
If you don't touch the lighter and just let it sit the fuel will evaporate in about a month give or take if you're using it about once a day 2 weeks
i want to know how to use the f'ing fluid ie open it ready for pouring!
Just got a pipe zippo. I am only smoking outside, which can be very irritating with a butane lighter at times. My hopes are high that the zippo will ease my wind problems 😀
Trust me it WILL
I just found my dads 7 year old zippo I usually just use bic lighters and didn’t have a clue on how to refill it now I’m in love with zipped it’s part of my everyday carry
We love to hear it! If you have any questions feel free to each out anytime. Be sure to follow us on Facebook for more interesting content!
I just received my first zippo yesterday and just to know,
usually, how long time before running out of gas with a zippo?
Nice,fast and easy. Thanks!!
Where do you get something like that at
I am an industrial designer, and stil haven't resolved the charger the zippo and also dangerous, having a very easy and economical solution.
Just got my Zippo and its working well!
We love to hear it! Which model did you get?
@@zippo I got a Cypress Hill music one its great
A co worker got me a zippo for my birthday, it has the lucky four leaf clover on a white background just like the one used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I just need to fill it now👍
I love my Zippos. Zippo is a great company
Well i tried this with butane, i had to use pleies because it had no cap, the whole thing turned to ice, i tried to ignore it and it exploded in my hand?? What wa si doing wrong?
@Zippo I was wondering how I can get rust off my spark wheel on my lighter, should I use WD-40 or lighter fluid and a toothbrush? Or what do you think? Will that mess it up please lmk I didn't know anywhere else too ask these questions.
What about strong soap
That works too!
Why do they not sell inside units, except for butane ones?
why is it recommended to place zippo in pocket bottom face down?
What is the difference between the $9.96 Zippo and the $12.00 Zippo that is sold at Wal-Mart, besides price? Their packaging is different.
the actual working bits are all the same, but the case has a myriad of design options.
Wow, Zippo's in Europe are way more expensive ("Brushed Chrome" the basic model 29€ = 32.54$). I got mine from the Zippo website (I wanted something 100% original). Although I never smoked, nor I'm planning to... 🙂
How long does Zippo flint wheel last?
Bought my first zippo, love it! After a few days of use the wick is already charred, do I need to trim the wick already?
not yet, wait at least 3-4 months :)
I thought this was one of those pressurized joints like most standard lighters.. now I need another zippo lighter fluid thingy..
What website can I buy authentic zippos help please
I see that the zippo company likes to respond. So, what's the difference between ronsonol fluid and zippo fluid? Why would it be less effective?
Simple, good explanation good visual. Hella nice! Glad i know cause i got mine
Glad you like it!
Is this Luke from Catfish and Carps??
Zippos are beautiful, and i love mine.
I got the Timberwolves one
Can i sent a zippo lighter to the zippo repair shop.
I live in New zealand ?
I have no use for a lighter, but I just got myself a “high polished brass vintage with slash”
I bought my Zippo today and tried lighting a cig only to realise there was no fuel in it.
I think I might be borderline insane.
I have been trying for like 20 minutes to “remove the unit from the case” and it won’t budge 😡
Can i also pour zippo fluid thru the hole next to the screw?
@@zippo thanks for the reply, Zippo 👍🔥
I used to do it that way, but now I lift the pad at the bottom. I was told many years ago that that hole was for carrying a spare flint. But that could be a old wives tale...
@@samiam619 LOl an old wivea tale? If you actually read the instructions with a new zippo it even says keep spare flints under the pad
What's the screw for in the bottom
holding a flint
When You Want To Recharge That Supreme Zippo !!!
🔥🔥🔥
Can I use kerosene in a zippo?
Thank you kindly for this video
You don't need a pin to lift the pad, just use the nozzle off the lighter fluid, as the liquid won't come out off the nozzle until you squeeze the tin..Also that hole, you can put a flint there just incase the other one goes while you're out in the wilderness off a town centre. Lol.
U can't fill it up with normal pressurized cans, can you?
nope, only liquid fuel
I dont smoke and I have 5 and I love them all
Nice! Which five do you have?
Zippo, I have much more of your lighters now, but I have 2 or 3 of the basic chrome models, a few high polish colored ones, and two brass models. I also have the black and white matte as well
I might be a wizard because I casted fireball after watching this
I only commit arson with my Zippo™ lighter.
When i got my first zippo lighter the guy who i bought it from used ronsonol lighter fluid
Thank you Seth Rogen for the explanation!
Instructions unclear, I set an entire apartment complex on fire
Anyone that can help me i was trying to pull it out but its stuck stuck i goes just almost a finger nail and just get stuck everytime
Are you trying to remove the flint? Try using a paper clip. Let us know if that doesn't work.
Zippo naaah the cover out of the middle thing i just got a paperclip between the mini holes and just pulled it out

I use camp stove fuel.lts the same thing and way cheaper.been using it many years.

Arsonists #1 choice. Lighters you can rely on.
thx a lot
Helpful.
We're pleased we could help, Melissa!
I found that Zippo lighters would leak in my pocket.
i like Zippo
A gas station sold me Ronson multi fill butane fuel and told me it was good for zippo. Nope. I wrongly assumed. Ugh
Our Zippo windproof lighters take Zippo premium lighter fluid and Ronsonol. Butane fuel is not used for our windproof lighters. Butane is only used in our utility or candle lighters. Hope that helps!
