    Who here uses zippos? And more importantly, how long does your fluid last?

    My fluid lasts almost never. Not even a day. I hate the thing.

    I used to carry a Bic disposable lighter around when I was a teenager. I never smoked, but it was great for lighting things on fire (and no I wasn’t a pyro)

    Yeah. Just the zippo is way cooler hehe.
    I've always wanted those matches that will light on anything you strike it against. :D

    Mine lasts more than a day, but not very long really. If i'm going on a camping trip or something like that where i'll be smoking a lot of joints, I will fill up the zippo and bring it along. otherwise I just use a bic. zippos aren't good for smoking bowls anyway.

    take some bees wax and seal around the inside where tank meets up with the case.. as well some bees wax at the bottom where it will squeeze the wick.. this will prevent some premature evaporation.

    Well, they're useless for lighting my water pipe. :D
    I use it light a cigar every few days. I've read the fluid just has a habit of drying out but I can top mine up and still get nothing. The flint work and sparks it just struggles to actually light. When it does it's fine but just yeah, won't work the next day.

    They can put a man on the moon, Piaf. A man. On the. Freaking moon. But they can't build a lighter that withholds its fluid in earths atmosphere but we can send astroNOTs into space and zero atmosphere and we don't have a problem.

    I've been to the Zippo factory. Pretty cool. Also saw the Zippo car, a 1947 Chrysler Saratoga:

    i keep forgetting to get anything to light my scented candles or incense.
    probably has something to do with never having smoked tobacco, nor developing a dependency on smoking anything else.
    (though, yes, i inhaled)
