Well, i own a few, but what about you people here?

Care to share your experiences with it and also your collection.
Apart from owning the best lighter brand in the world that makes a unmistakable 'click' sound whenever a Zippo is opened, what makes you a happy owner of one or a few?

I always keep a Zippo with me in case i need it for any emergency, and of course, just to use it to light other people's cigarrettes.

P/S: Smoking is bad for you.

Tell you something. I don't smoke but I own a zippo.. And I keep lighting it just to syiok sendiri... when I see the light, makes me de-stress.

But expensive la... zippo fluid. Dang

Oh. Interesting. Seeing the light makes you release stress eh?

The fluid's about RM10 per can. Quite okay i guess, considering that other lousy branded ones are like RM5 each.

P/S: I'm a non-smoker too.

got one zippo with me ..... a silver small size one. dun like bulky one, hard to bring along .... RM 10 for the fluid...hmmm ....usually bought it, rm 7~8.

RM4 for two anyone?

there's only two Zippo lighters sizes, IIANM.

one is the normal size while the other is the slim version.

yours is the slim version?

i'm a fan of dupont lighters and their ping

yup...mine is the slim version....although the normal size is more "macho"....but hard to bring along...

I never had a bad experience about Zippo since I used it 6 years back. The only thing is when the Fluid finished.

Burn another RM 10.00 for that Zippo Fluid......

How about your wick and flint? How often did you need to change that?
Don't tell me you didn't change at all.

got zippo wif me..hv used it for almost a years.i bought the fluid only RM4.50 per can at maidin.. flint,i'ved changed it every 3-4 months depend on usage.never change the wick yet...

Is there such thing as fake zippo lighters? If there is, how do you identify between them and original ones?

ive owned god knows a number of zippos but sadly most of them are either missing or stolen by my so called friends

currently only have 2 zippos left... 1 of them over 2 years old and still brand new and unused....

my fav was a rather rare harley davidson zippo that wasnt available even during the time i bought it. antique silver case with the hawk on the side and the wings curving into the main body. still cant find it til now....

but i always carry lots of normal lighters around in my pouch coz i always forget to fill up my gas

I got a hawk emblem zippo, year 1996. Still using roman number. hehhe will post some photo tomolo.


But that zippo very weird ler. It is gold colour. I think it is bronze. Very fast got dirty and karat niah. donno why??. do you think it is fake???

I have to polish it and keep it in the case ler. Dun dare to use it liao.

MyDin so cheap? thanks mate

Quite easy. Look at the box, the construction and the guarantee paper.
There is no way a fake can reproduce the same 'chink' sound when a Zippo opens, and all fakes do not close properly and as easily as a Zippo (a Zippo makes an assuring 'thud' sound when being closed).

The first slim brush stainless steel gone, my other stardust gold got spoitl because use the wrong stuff to polish. heheh, i use those #1200 grid sandpaper to polish, spoilt the surface.

here's my only collection left. gonna put it in the drawer and never do anything crazy with it.

Wow. Ninjiao. That gold one looks amazing.

Btw, Zippo users. If a Zippo is fully-fueled, and sometimes it can't be lit no matter how many times you try to light it, what kind of problems would cause this to happen? Because i experienced this quite a lot of times. Makes me think Zippo is not so reliable.

Any of you experience this too?

I have the Jack Daniels one, will post pics later

Cool. Will wait for your pics.

BTW, anybody can answer my previos question?
