I dislike zippo lighters because lighting any kind of piece is nearly impossible

Nothing says I'm more badass then the following: pulling out a grape swisher while riding up the lift and then busting out a solid silver windproof zippo lighter and lighting that delicious roll of tobacco up. Love me a zippo, carry one everyday.

zippo + piece = bad idea. Not only is it hard, but it's really bad to inhale zippo lighter fuel

No offense and all, but I fucking hate it when people smoke on the lifts. I mean, its a public area, and people on the lift with you dislike it, they don't usually say anything, but it's just rude it seems. Mainly because all I smell is smoke, and I dislike the smell very much.

if your gonna smoke a straight up cigar, at least smoke a good one. Stick to cigarettes otherwise, swishers are meant for blunts and people with no class.

I hate my zippo tbh, its a dirty and inefficient lighter compared to bic or clipper. The fuel smells and the flame leaves residue on shit easily. Badass wise its pretty cool, but besides that I have no use for it

This. I love my zippo though. It works great and its fun to use. Kind of a comfort item for me now. Just leaving it in my pocket is what I do.

Instead of buying a hand-warmer Zippo:

Pour a tiny amount of lighter fluid in the opened lid.

Let it burn until all the lighter fluid is gone.

Close Zippo.

Really fucking hot hand-warmer acquired.

Dude fucking cigarettes are the worst. But I agree swishers are very shitty quality and arent exactly the classiest, I just like them for some reason. But also how do you feel about wood tipped black and milds? And also to the other person that hates me comment haha I would never smoke with a random person on the same chair as me, rude for sure. But I figured the smoke dissipates enough to not bother the people behind you?

Black n milds? I know you probably dress like a hoodrat black person while skiing but you don't have to smoke like one

I lost my zipper last year on a trip. As soon as a new one catches my eye I'll buy another.

If you're talking about with a piece just don't even bother using a zippo. Just use a bic.
If you're just talking about fluid to use you can buy Ronson fluid that works.

my friend had some kind of butane attachment thing for his zippo i have no idea about it, but it was sick. I'm sure you could find it if you looked it up.

alright. so after i made this thread i went out and bought a no name zippo because i didnt want to spend so much after all the bad rap everyone gave it. i'm happy to report that smoking with it can leave a bad taste but it is mild the smell is what gets me but you are usually outside hen using it so it isnt too bad. and after some research i have found the thunderbird butane zippo insert that is basically a bic lighter shaped to look and fit into your zippo to take away the drawbacks of an open fluid lighter. hope that helps anyone. became an expert in a couple days. lol jk

sparknotes: I like my zippo but if you dont want smell or taste get a thunderbird butane insert for it. all the badassery minus the smell and taste.

They make the ones with more of a flowing (rather than jet stream) flame. Better for you and easier to use on pieces, but not as windproof.
