Zippo blu's

My every day zippo is over 30 years old. I adore it.

I have several zippos, all in a case on the wall now. Im a BIC fan, cant see needing anything else. I have a torch lighter somewhere around here. its one of those calibre brand. pretty nice overall, but it lights 1 out of 10 times. As a serious burnout, i wouldnt ever use a zippo for lighting weed. nasty tasting fuel.

All tho, i do believe Bic has started skimping on the lighter fluid in there. I know i used to get a month out of my bic, now im down to about two weeks. and it has nothing to do with the increase in bowl packing over joint rolling.

i find the flint alwyas goes on bics long before the fuel. I also lose or give them away too freely. While i don't massively taste the zippo fuel (bare in mine i only smoke joints with tobaco in them) that is one of the selling points of the blu, no fuel taste. I find if i have a lighter with sentimental value or monetary value, i don't lose it, i normally end up buying a bic a week otherwise. People don't have an issue with pocketing your bic, but most everyone understands not to pocket a zippo etc

Well just to update. After a month and a bit of solid use, fuck the YouTube reviews and such, while when very cold, as with all butane lighters, it can be finicky, in normal temps, this is the best and most reliable lighter I've ever had. Works first time every time. Worth every penny. Bloody love the thing!
