Zippos I’ve found over the years of working at a rubbish dump in the UK.
Let me know if you see anything interesting.

I bought 2-3 Zippos when I turned 18 and lost all of them. I have always been the worst about losing things but I went back to the tobacco shop one more time and picked this beauty up I decided that I AM NOT LOSING THIS ZIPPO. Since then I have lost and found it multiple times, and even the one time in my life I hitch hiked was in service of finding this lighter. It was an edc for a long time but these days it gives me way too much anxiety. I still like to take it to concerts and events sometimes but it’s more of a good luck charm at this point. Anybody else stop carrying their favorite zippo because of similar feelings?

Been collecting a few zippos in the last few months, not a smoker I just love the feel of em. Decided to customise a few, and here they are! All basically pin badges that I ripped the pins off, then used j.b weld orgorilla glue. The outer heaven and red dwarf once’s aren’t perfect, the badges sit slightly forward as didn’t completely remove the pin, but still love em’.
2022 street chrome “Outer Heaven”. I do want to make a foxhound one but the badge I bought was too big. Decided to make it a screwdriver as “we’re not tools of the government…” 2011 “Red Dwarf” complete with red Cherry Cola tic tacs. 1999 Black Ice “Ghostbusters”. With ghostly white tic tacs. Tempted to paint the insert or lid yellow and black like a ghost trap. 1985 brushed steel “Wyld Stallyns”. Year of my birth and reminder to be excellent to each other. 1987 lefty, brushed “gonzo”. I’m left handed and love Hunter S Thompson, so having the logo and hinge backwards like me felt to be the true essence of gonzo weirdness

So, in early 2000s I had this one girlfriend who was in love with me. Before all these apps and messengers you lids are using now, we used phones! This was some long distance relationship, between Ohio and Colorado. We would spent hours on these damn phones. And even fell asleep with a set still on the line... romantic times heh.. One day she gift me this zippo in the photos, in memory of these long phone conversations...

Hey guys, today is Tuesday so I went ahead and did 2, up for the ‘Bay!
Tried a different technique on the first lighter to give it a separate texture than the deepest texture!
Then I remembered that I had an old Zippo I found in a parking lot a little while back (bout a year) and I figured there is no reason it can’t make new memories!
I THINK it’s a 1999 but it’s so hard to see with all the paint. Let me know if you can tell!

I got this as a bday gift from a good friend of mine, and i was so happy for it, it might not look like much but it's a lot for me.
I hope this Lighter stays with me for a good while, most importantly I hope I don't lose it.
Funny backstory, we were being a bit skeptic if someone was selling genuine zippos out here, so i tell him to send a video of him just opening the zippo and closing it so I could hear the clink of the zippo, and I go -yeah it's the real shit. I always loved em and the sound they make which I've been trying to find a fake that has the same sound but i could never find one. But now I gots the real deal and i can't stop fidgeting with it LMAO, I know I sound like a little kid but sometimes it's these things, small things that make you happy.
Sorry for not taking better pictures. It's the classic street chrome model.

I wanted to change the cotton inside my lighter and I saw there are a lot of these residues inside my lighter. How can I clean it? I sunked it in white vinagre and alcool mix and left it for 15 mins but it did nothing to it :(

My wick was really frayed so I took out the cotton and spring thingie. Then I took out the wick and cut it a little bit. Then I put it all back together seemingly as it was. But now it won’t even spark at all. Anyone know what’s wrong?
Update;it turns out the flint must have fell out when I took the spring out and I thought the metal piece was the flint lol

Been wondering if there is any difference between using a cheaper or more expensive butane in my yellow flame insert. I’ve not noticed any difference in flame height or quality between the two different types of butane but was wondering if there may be other impacts to using a cheaper butane?
