Who needs a Zippo pipe lighter

PM sent

Very nice of you masspiper! I already own one, so will pass to someone starting out who needs a good lighter. FYI, mine is a 1942 replica with a pipe insert and it works fantastic. i use it everyday if outside and/or windy, otherwise it is matches. Good score for someone on here! The generosity here never ceases to amaze me!

Thank you, Don!
It will go to good use.

Very nice offer of you!! I love the zippo pipe lighter, a tip on how to avoid fuel taste:

-when you open it up don't light the pipe right away, give it a few seconds
Fuel longevity:

-after filled rub a small amount of gasoline at the base of the insert right above that bump on either side

-you can even get a old by bicycle tire and cut a piece a little small than the length of the lighter and slip that on there. It's tough to get on but once it's there you can just roll down the top portion and your good to go.
That's a nice zippo too.... I kinda miss my brushed chrome one now, I gave it away to someone in need at Christmas time.

Good deal! I prefer it over propane actually, second only to a good match. Tips above right on. Enjoy!

I use 2 Zippos. Love 'em! Highly recommended for the next person to try it.

Masspiper you are the man!(although potentially a woman)
I have 2 zippos and they are by far the best way to light a pipe outside. Good show!

Recently I have been using a bic or wooden match for the 1st light, a zippo pipe lighter for the 2nd. Works for me. And the zippo will light outdoors when the bic won't.

This place is amazing! Haven't been here long, but I have noticed the generosity flows daily around here.

Yes, ZIPPOs are definitely the best lighter outdoors, but if you don’t like the Zippo because of the fluid (you didn’t say why you didn’t like it), it can always be converted to a butane lighter with a Thunderbird butane insert for PIPES. I wasn’t expecting much when I ordered one of these but it works quite well. If you do get one use only triple filtered butane or better in it. The cheaper butane brands will eventually foul all butane lighters. Two of the better brands to look for are Vector and Xicar.
