    Yeah they are pretty sweet. All these zorro videos make want to bust out the titanium. Also I think u talked me into getting a copper one. Your 100% right I could get two different ones with solid copper inserts for cheaper. And 20 times the copper lol it’s really a no brainer

      They definitely are worth it. I ordered them November 16th and they arrived today. That was pretty quick coming from China. The three barrel one is 180 grams and the five barrel is 185 grams for just the case. Definitely a better constructed lighter for less than half the price for a Zippo solid copper.

      @ yeah I actually just pulled out my brass one that I silver plated. Used the brass zorro insert also. I’m zorro fanatic 77 for the next few weeks

      I saw the video on the one you silver plated. It turned out really sweet! I may have to go with gavin.lannan's suggestion and be Zorro Lyons Den for the holidays, lol. I have a titanium one coming in the mail yet. Been thinking about getting one of their pinball movement inserts.

      They really are sweet. With all the talk about possible new tariffs on Chinese goods, I felt I'd better get them before that happens, lol.

    Great video, I've had a Zorro 912 (w logo) for about a year, going to order a 912s. I've always thought the Zorro lighters to be very well made for the price. One thing that drives me nuts on AliExpress is that you can purchase a few lighters, and months later the store may not exist anymore. I've never had a problem ordering/receiving, just wish I could go back and order from some of the stores I purchased from in the past.

      Thank you very much. I know what you mean about the stores not existing after a while. I bought a nice Game of Thrones Zorro lighter a few years ago, and now I can't find the store/seller who had them. Only problem I've ever had in ordering was a store had sent me the wrong color lighter than what I had ordered. They refunded me the purchase price, except the shipping cost, and let me keep the lighter. I've had worse happen ordering off of Ebay from people in the States, lol.

    Great video and amazing value... I am going to have to buy a zorro now.. Zippo will always be #1 though!

      Same here for me that Zippo will always be #1. Being a collector of other brands of lighters as well, though, I felt I needed these in my collection. For the price, I couldn't resist.

    Very beautiful set of lighters. I wonder if these are overseas or stateside? Is Zorro Lyons Den in the future? 🤪

      @zippolyonsden1623  6 днів тому +1

      They really are better than I thought they would be. They came from overseas somewhere in China according to the tracking. Lmao about the Zorro Lyons Den 🤣🤣. I wanted to order a few they have available before any new tariffs may take effect.

      No secret. I ordered them through Aliexpress. I didn't think to put a link in the description, lol. I always forget about doing that. I must be getting old 😁. I'll have to fix that when I get home later.

    I bought the cheapest Zippo lighter and it never kept the lighter fluid for more than a couple of lights. I tried adding more cotton and even bought the rubber seals for it, but never got good results. That was the end of my Zippo adventure.

      Sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue before where it only lit a couple of times before running out of fluid. I have to ask though. You did use regular lighter fluid and not butane, correct?

    • @trog69
      @trog69 3 дні тому +1

      @@zippolyonsden1623 Yes, though we do have both types of fuel because we both got the adapters for butane. Since my lighter (my brother's works great) never worked right, I haven't bothered trying the butane.

      One more question. Did you repack the insert? Running the wick through the rayon in an "S" pattern. They do not come from Zippo packed correctly. Adding more rayon than what came with the Zippo could also cause it to be packed too tightly and not letting the fluid to absorb up and through the wick. There are a few good videos here on UA-cam that demonstrate how to properly repack a Zippo insert. As for the rubber seals, I've found them to be not worth it.
