Zippo disappointed against the good reputation in many ways!

Zippo lighter chrome Standard brushed Regular Sturmfeuerzeug (equipment)

Customer Review

First of all I was surprised that the lid when opened slightly back and forth "sloppy", after consultation with other customers I was told that this was normal. Then I noticed that the engraved in the housing bottom Monatsj / year identifier is not the same as in the inner part. This struck me as strange, which is why I have contacted a few weeks ago the official Zippo support via email. After merhmaliger request for information I have received no response to date. Very disappointing.

What I did not know before buying. The fuel evaporates very quickly. Which means, the lighter needs to be refilled every 2 weeks. Leaving it times two weeks are, is the gasoline bought expensive "evaporated". It must also be changed regularly the flint. Who is most often used, so you should always carry a flint bottom in the housing. Annoying, if you need it urgently needed and then you only have to start to loosen a bolt, spring extend, insert stone and then reassemble. The best, albeit degree the gasoline is still again all. This can then take 5-10 minutes before :-)

What I do not also knew with a Zippo can light a candle fixed!
The Advent wreath is on the table, I prefer my Zippo beaming out, but no matter how I turn the Zippo and turn the flame does not come to the wick. Laughter among friends. Embarrassing for me, the ring becomes inflamed with a 1.50 Euro standard lighter within seconds.

Conclusion: A Zippo is really only suitable for smokers who want to light a cigarette or New Year's Eve to ignite firecrackers and rockets, as well as the advantage that wind does not bring the flame of peace so quickly. 2 weekly maintenance of the lighter provided.

In everyday use, it is usually not to use, expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and time-consuming constantly nachzugießen gasoline. And unreliable due to the high maintenance costs (fuel & Feuerstein)

This one should make aware before buying.
