Those contain flammable or alcohol element will be busted on the spot surely.

buy bulk from zippo and you'll get them cheap plus free shipping. since you're gonna sell them

if not go to some watchshop,they sell them starting from RM65


and for the check in zippo,wrap your zippo in present paper and tell them that it's a gift for my friend.
but of course must also have other gifts along too.

just a suggestion so don't come to me and complain

wheew the thread comes back alive.... and a mat salleh contact me ask me abt my Zaku Zippos..

Maxsia,

Buying zippo should be no problem , dont use it after u buy, put it in the original casing and put in the luggage.

It should be ok , bought a few from outside , should be no problem

Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to the zippo world and i've already amassed 4 of this fantastic wonders.

I'm fueling 2, while another 2 is still new and 'untouched' in my drawer!

However, i do notice one problem.

After using the zippo about 1 to 1.5 months, the flint wheel will become slightly loose, and will make it hard to light the fire.

I've tried brushing the wheel - it helps a little, but after a while, i ended up using pliers to 'kepit' the wheel back securely.

I use original wicks, flints and fuel, and i can't figure out why it wears down so quickly.

I'm a heavy smoker, about 1 pack a day, and often play zippo tricks, but the flint wheel quality can't be that bad right?


Very sakit if every 1.5 month have to change to new zippo...

Any solutions or expert advice?
Thanks...

Unfortunately bro .... had the same experience with you but mine after more than a couple of months.

What I do?

As I collect a lot of zippo, I just replace the insert with a new one .. I know it is not the best solution .... but just to lazy to repair it ...

or try to send it to Zippo to repair...

maybe someone have other opinion ....

how much u got it for? and when did u get it?

it's sad when it happens. this happen to me too but worse, my flint wheel won't spark the flint at all
the only way is to send it to zippo for repair

btw, this is the solid titanium zippo lighter which i have got many years back

I recommend you to go to K.S. Gill at 325, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.

The person to contact would be Mr Manjeet.  03-2693 6902 / 012-2007431.

I've been buying Zippo's from him since the past 4 years. Well, if you are a serious collector like me, he would be able to source series or designs that are not made available to South Asia market.

Thank you to Rowan_Zip for recommending Manjeet @ K.S.Gill's. I called Manjeet a couple of times prior to our meeting and finally met Manjeet yesterday.

This post intends to publicly commend Manjeet for the excellent customer service provided to me throughout this week. I have never before posted on a forum like this on an entirely unsolicited basis. However, in this case I was so impressed by the support and service provide by Manjeet that I felt compelled to go on record with my praise. Manjeet truly deserves it. In an era where exceptional one-to-one customer service excellence has virtually vanished into thin air, the work that Manjeet does should be held up as an example for others to try to emulate.

Yo I when to KS GILL and bought the 1935 replica costing RM 117.6 after 20 % discount

Yea manjeet Singh was there to serve me and he was very helpful and courteous

Hes well verse in zippo lighters like a pro

They stock complete range of zippo lighters, flints, fluid , etcs

Thanks

zipposssss

Hi, I dont seem to be able to find much info around about Zippos but I'm wondering if you buy it on eBay from US, will it get through Malaysia customs? If can get through, will kena tax & how much?

I've been collecting a bunch of Playboy Zippos, completely in love with the one I just saw!

Any advice? Thanks!

I've been buying a few from the States, and they've been passing our customs without a problem. Whether or not yours will kena sapu half way is another matter, thank God all of mine have reach safely!

I bought a fake zippo from vietnam and I carried it on-board the aircraft. It was fueled

Awesome! Always thought it'll probably kena tax or will never reach me.. Thanks for the info! Now I can safely go Zippo shopping!

Nah, my seller always labels it as "hobby supplies", so yup, no problem at all. Around RM60, per Zippo, plus shipping, sometimes even less!!
