Yeah, cool factor and the historic signifiance, they are pretty clunky for everyday use and a Bic or Clipper are (sadly) a million times better. There are tricks to prevent fuel evaporating (some types of gaskets, using a rubber band around the seam). Also, a pipe insert helps with lighting candles.
First lighter I tried to EDC was a zippo, purely for the novelty as you say. I wish they were more functional for how cool they are, but they really aren't. Good video.
@@Ludwig_Cox I'll use my torch for cigars, zippo for cigs. I want to get back into Pipes, but a torch might burn the wood and a zippo won't work.... Matches or Bic?
@@Ludwig_Cox aliexpress... zorro ultimate justice series i just ordered 3 for $30 Canadian... cobra snake series are twice the size of zips and would cost me $220 CND for comparable zip quality but I grabbed 2 for $32.00...almost free in my books.. I use all mine but I smoke... weed though.... u look like an American actor bro..

Yes, I've heard different inserts also exist but in my opinion it's just better to buy a different quality butane torch lighter
Absolutely right. I can only use my zippo for cigarettes, Otherwise I burn my hand lighting cigars and candles. Love the sound too.
Yeah it really sucks that it's only good for lighting cigarettes tho

@@punksmokerKSI use clippers for pipe smoking, cheap and it does the job haha when you turn them upside down the flame extends, extremely practical
@@Ludwig_Cox Cool! I don't think we've seen a pipe review from you yet!
put your zippo in the drawer and get a zorro... waaaaay cheaper and far superior construction..
I can't buy them in Belgium unfortunately but I had lots of Americans tell me they're cheaper and better quality then Zippo
