Do any of you edc a zippo? I used to, but it would be out of fluid every time I needed it. Do you guys just always fill it up once a week? I'm not a smoker btw.

I'm the occasional cigar smoker. I think you get more out of a zippo if you use it every day. The fuel does seem to evaporate out of it over time unlike a butane torch/lighter.

I like the old school nature of the zippo.

Check out their website. Neat stuff. Especially their story during WWII.

I only have a few, I really want to add a few. If you decide to part with the first one posted, let me know. If I can find the ones I have, I'll get a picture.

Mine goes great with a old revolver, brass knucks & a switch blade.

***I let you have first dibs when I let her go!

Forgot I had this one.when I found it the shell was bolted to the middle of a metal ash tray. It's a 20mm round with a lighter as the projectile.

cool collections. I have a few plain jane silver ones, one orange one, one Hard Rock Cafe, and a Dallas Cowboys. I usually carry my orange zippo...hardest to misplace. I love how the first drag tastes like jet fuel.

A little tip for those that don't know. Don't buy zippo flints. pop the top off old used up bic lighters. The flint even after the lighter is spent is twice as long as a zippo flint. Snip it in half. It's the same diameter as zippo and works perfectly...and lasts longer to boot.

RdKill, thanks for the tip about the Bic lighters, did not know that. I have several Zippo lighters, none of them real special. Have one my son bought for me with a nice Buck on it. And I still carry a old I guess stainless Zippo everyday....Ray

I'll get in this turkey shoot later. I've started picking up lighters I like a few years back... zippo quality has really **** the bed recently if you ask me
