Cheap Zippo, New

[bullet08]

Replaced the wick once after falling into a river fully clothed. Didn't want to dry, so replaced the cotton filling and the wick. Probably lost that Zippo. First few Zippos were my uncle's old ones he didn't use any more. Lost all of 'em. Then there were few others. Remember dark navy painted one from 82. I know where I lost that one, local pizzeria. Then there were others in college where I lost them during camping. For awhile, just used Bic. Then Marlboro started doing promotion and picked up few. Reused them when started smoking pipe. Softer flames than Bic. But they both get the job done.

I really want to like my Zippo, I really do.

I'm still on the fence about getting one.

Absolutely nothing special about this, other than they are on Amazon for between $12.60 - $12.90 all the time.

Basically the street chrome model with a little design. I actually don’t think it is great looking, but it isn’t terrible and the price seems right.

I guess what I’m saying is get ‘em while they have them. You know, if you actually want one of course.

I'm considering getting another one, I use the first one all the time.

I'm just looking at them now....
In particular the Armor type.

My only complaint about the Zippo is that it's not so great if you have to relight towards the bottom of a pipe with a deep chamber. It's not possible to really get the flame deep into the chamber like it is with matches or other pipe lighters. Other than that, I love my Zippo pipe lighters.

It's a smart idea to have a back up. What is you have to send yours in for warranty?

True, but if life is transient I still think love is permanent

I don't think I'd ever send it in for warranty repair. It would probably cost more in postage than buying a new one. I have a butane soft flame pipe lighter and matches to get me through in case the zippo craps out. Also have a bunch of lighters that my mother collected that would work in a pinch. But I really love the zippo pipe lighter.

For me, it was only 3 to 5 dollars for shipping to the warranty department. So it is close, but I can probably get a brand new brushed chrome for 12.00.

But I like using the warranty, so I'm not throwing away more lighters. I like the idea of less waste.

Found this cool (perfect for me) old Zippo used and cheap and put a new pipe insert in it. Win!

Sometimes that’s a wick issue - but then again, so many things in life come back to wick issues.
