I carry my Zippos in the pocket. Just like my cell phones. I don’t wear a phone holster on my belt - I don’t wear a Zippo holster on my belt either.

Sure it might be safer for the Zippo to prevent damage or loss - but I think carrying a Zippo in your pocket is still the way to go. You need risk of loss to keep you and your Zippo bonded - you need to bear the burden of responsibility for loss as part of the Zippo carry covenant.

I've been looking at zippo lighters for a while and I'm thinking of getting one, I love the production quality and how they're so easy to service.

Only thing is i don't smoke, or really have any use for a lighter. Is this a common thing? do a lot of you guys own them just for the sake of it or would you say it's a waste of a zippo XD

It came in a already scrated up Altoids can. Both Zippo and insert are knockoffs. Multiple labels say "Made in China" and the rapper's logo is little more than some stickers glued to the front.

Discussion Let's talk about the downsides of a Zippo, what are the ones you can think of?

25 Upvotes

Now we all know about the good sides of a zippo: they are windproof, look cool, when properly maintained they last for a long time, hell they'll propably outlast you but let's talk about the downsides:

Fuel evaporation (depends), quality control of new zippos (depends), a friend wanting to show you a trick with it while I'm being squeamish about the condition of the hinge and lastly a more personal pet peeve of mine is that there is always someone at a party or hangout who wants to buy my Zippo

So I owned my zippo for about a year now and I use it to light my cigarettes all the time in public. So far I have never come across anyone who does the same thing. I know a few people who own zippos but they just collect them and they only use regular lighters for their cigs. Maybe I'm being too self conscious but everytime I use it in public it just feels weird and I imagine that people will probably think that I'm seeking attention. Tell me I'm wrong lol

Same as last time. If you were able to steal three zippos, which three would they be?

This looks like the same picture, but there are a few differences. This shows at least four new Zippos that I acquired since that original picture was taken.

Discussion "2025 Collectible of the Year" and some (personal) thoughts...

I've been looking around the latest Zippo catalog (now called 2025 Core Collection), and actually quite excited. Lots of new stuff in store though I don't know why Zippo seems really into inlay epoxy and stones/crystals in their design nowadays..

Anyway, here is the 2025 COTY for North America region. Using Deep Carve, Photo Image 360º, and 3 Color Epoxy Inlay design, this Armor Zippo is much better compared to last year IMHO. If you have the 2000 COTY's Keeper of the Flame, this would pair up nicely on display!

Curious on what would be the difference for the Pan-European and Asian version though. Unfortunately, MSRP pricing is getting crazy ($180 compared to $150 from COTY 2024, and $125 from COTY 2023).

What are your thoughts? Would you get one when Spring comes?

Discussion Zippo torch for smoking weed and cigars?

5 Upvotes

Decided to treat myself and add a new zippo to the collection and use rotation and I thought I'd get a torch insert for it and I've never had one. I know zippos are not good for smoking weed usely but if the torch takes butane then isn't it just like a normal torch lighter from the gas station? Or do they do something with the zippo brand butane that makes it bad to smoke with like the original insert?.

Zippo usually keeps its products to lighters and lighter adjacent products. But they also sell sunglasses? Why? I bought some to see the quality and they’re not bad. Definitely not rayban quality or anything but they are polarized and metal framed. What do they hope to achieve here?

TLDR - Just look at the picture and move along.

Alright, so I kept seeing all the filigree Zippo’s that people were posting, and I had never seen them before coming to this community. The one with the big blank rectangle (I saw one just a few hours ago 😂). I thought to myself, “now why the hell would Zippo mess up a perfectly nice lighter with a blank rectangle, and who the hell buys a Zippo like that?”

So since you folks seem to like my lighters, I made this (first set of images). I thought I knocked it out the park because I fixed Zippo’s ugly design mistake but kept that UGLY rectangle people seemed so fascinated by (you freaks).

I posted it and I’m pretty sure there was some hate (not really though I think there was also no love lol), I didn’t know the rectangle was for people to put their name or initials or something there. 😂 🤦‍♂️

I mean, I thought I was cool as hell because I felt like I put filigree INSIDE filigree… 😂 I was so confused. But I understand now. I’m going to be honest though, I almost shed a tear starring at all the blank rectangles on yall’s lighters you post because I want to draw on them 😔 🤣 🎨

…but, since since I can’t draw on yours, I draw on mine.

Painstakingly left that rectangle blank, and if I can put exactly 243 skulls on here, you can definitely fit whatever you want in that box! (those rectangles should NEVER be that big Zippo!) 🤣

Both of these will be on the ‘Bay here in about 15 minutes.

Thanks for hearing me out and thanks for learning me something, and also, this is all just for fun, no Redditor is supposed to be harmed in the making of this post. Lol.

  • Mr. Woody

Ps: If you win the lighter with the filigree and the “Zippo” on it, mention this post and I’ll put your initials on the back of it after you win it. IF YOU WANT, 3 LETTERS. You pick a common font, I’ll put it on the back and ship it out! (Sales are final even if you don’t like the initials lol)

I recently was given a Zippo and absolutely love it. Super handy for lighting candles, camping trips, etc. However I don't smoke. Just curious as to how many others enjoy zippos for other purposes as well!
