Guys! It is legit. I have tried and tested it. It really made my day. When i put those bacon cotton on it plus the plastic bag trick by zippo fanatic, it made my fluid last 3 weeks plus 3 days to be exact. Oh by the way im residing here in philippines. Tropical country
Bro saan nakakabili ng bacon cotton?
i suggest you use vape fiberglass wicks to replace the zippo wick, they will bever burn.

@@Tailslol Where can we buy a VAPE FIBERGLASS WICK ?
@@bernardtan1 ebay or vape sites , depends of your country too.
Yup! It works! Biggest problem I had was finding Cotton Bacon, down here in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. I was going to just order it online, at between $4.95 - $6.95/pack, but hoped to get it in a vape shop. Few people are making their own coils these days, so nobody's carrying it. Then I found a shop that had some on clearance, for $2/pack! Good to go. I did everything, and my old lighter also had a burnt end on the wick. Did this trick, turning it upside down, and replaced the batting. Fantastic! Zippo changed to Rayon, probably around 30 years ago, and when I carried the lighter in my shirt pocket, I noticed I was getting fluid leaks. Quit using the lighter, went to BIC, which now only works until halfway down on fluid, then quits. Back to the Zippo after all these years. I was going to just deal with the leaking fluid, until I saw this. Even THAT problem is now fixed! Thank you very much for the solution, and now I can use my old Zippo again.
Which shop did you find it at? I started looking for some today in Raleigh but haven’t seen it yet..
@@1581zebra I lucked out. I'm south of Raleigh, near Tryon Rd and Walnut, and there's an Asian Market in a small shopping mall on Buck Jones Rd. When I come out of the parking lot, there's a Vape shop across the street. I stopped in, and asked if they had cotton bacon. The guy said he wasn't sure, but as I looked around, I found a number of packages in a "close-out" bin. I pointed it out, and that the price was $2/package, so he said okay. I bought about five packages and mostly cleaned them out. Since then, I've never seen it at any of the smoke shops I use. I'd recommend trying to find it online, and while it may seem pricey, you really don't need much at all. I'm still working on the first package, and I've changed out the batting in four Zippos. It's easy to do, and produces a major improvement in the amount of fluid and how long that fluid lasts.

Sounds like the food lion shopping center. Thanks. I’m gonna call a few today and see if anyone has any. If not, I’ll order some.
@@1581zebra No, this is up off Buck Jones across from the NC Dept of Vehicles, where you get plates. It's a small vape shop. Either way, calling around is your best bet -- I've checked almost all the smoke shops here, but not the dedicated vape shops. Cotton bacon I think was developed for dripping, which has fallen out of favor as vaping has kind of also gotten less popular. Good luck online, and as I'd said, it really doesn't take much to fill a Zippo. Even one package will last a long time. I don't change the batting much, despite Zippo Fan suggesting we do so. :-) The lighter works really well, even with limited maintenance. The cotton bacon idea was to go back to the old days, when a Zippo would easily go a week or more before needing fluid. And it works!

Onion at 2:am pipe on the patio sent me here. Thanks for your helpful videos lots of good info
I gotta hand it to you, this cotton absorbs crazy volume. I just gutted and stuffed my most prized zipp as per your instruction. Working great. Just like on your vid. I'm gonna do the same with all my sentimental zippos. I know you recommend changing the cotton every six months. However, this is the 1st time changing the cotton in my favorite zipp that I've had for over 20 years, and its probably gonna be the last. Why mess with a good thing? The factory wick was all funky like in your vid.
My hats off to you. You are the FANATIC. Hail to the king, baby.
@@ZippoFanatic77 I'll be there. What time EST?
That flint dispenser is made to just dump the flint into the hole after you slowly rotate it it to the top.
Didn't know that. Thanks. I like knowing the little design traits of things that are not readily known.
the best of the best. Haven't filled my main lighter in at least 2 weeks
@@ZippoFanatic77 i know i was pissed about that just logging in now to all of my things. OH WELL lol
Dad would go to California and back with his whole family working on farms during planting to harvest time, one of the things they did was pick cotton. He mentioned short and long strand cotton. Long strand was a superior cotton. I suspect that Cotton Bacon is the long strand.
You’re the true Zippo master, Sir!!
Just put some in a zippo as I'm commenting got 3 bags because I found them for 2.89 a bag great deal. Hope this stuff works great!
how’d you end up liking it??
Best youtube channel hands down
@@ZippoFanatic77 ive been watching your vids for the past week, nothing but informative content, starting a new collection and recently been obsessed with zippos, keep it up!!
@@ZippoFanatic77 for sure haha!
I be doing this , we don’t have cotton bacon up here but we got good quality stuff
Thank you
This is awesome info brother! I’ll be heading to the vape shop this week!
Its a know fact that lambswool is able to absorb more moisture than cotton. Once wet it also take longer to dry. Maybe wool is even better than cotton?
@@ZippoFanatic77 I dont know how wool react on fuel. But I think it's worth a try.
@@ZippoFanatic77 Maybe at first just put a piece of wool with fuel in a jar to see how it react. If the fuel dont dissolve the wool it should work. Maybe I will try it myself. I just need to get an old piece of wool.
This may sound funny. However Walgreens ibuprofen has cotton on the top looks and feels like cotton bacon. Probably is not as good but if you can’t find cotton bacon or a way to save a couple of bucks I bet this would work.
Wicked information dude thanks
I shredded up a German shammy. (viscos reyon) shits great
I have a ton of this cotton because I vape, and yeah, sure is working much better.
Good work man!!!
And how about using the medical / baby cotton balls?
Man I gotta get some of that cotton bacon
Thanks mate for sharing good stuffs as always! Learned a lot really
@@ZippoFanatic77 bro are u a member on the group? Hehe i think u are. Hehe
i suggest you use vape fiberglass wicks to replace the zippo wick, they will bever burn.
Got mine in the mail today.
Hi, I don't have cotton bacon prime, but I used Native platinum blend, which is a very white and very absorbent organic cotton. I used it for vaping, and it was very performing. Now I've marked the date, to see how long it lasts.
thanks for showing.
You my good sir are an innovator and a scholar
Faster absorption doesn’t mean more capacity. I’ll try it out but I’m not quite convinced. Maybe you stuffed more cotton in the new one compared the old one. Like I said I’ll give it a try.
I was going to ask you about this cuz i have tons of cotton bacon, guess you've got a video for everything lol.
Epic , my organic cotton is on its way , even regular non organic cotton holds more fluid too , but from what I understand organic vape cotton is even more so than that .
@@ZippoFanatic77 indeed
@@ZippoFanatic77 yes
Yes there are very differnet qualitys in cotton. There is cheap one and very expensive cotton.
Good job bro, keep it doing this videos. Saludos.
I was thinking about using "Kendo Vape Cotton, Gold Edition" it might absorb even more fluid
nicholas, i'm not smoke anymore i'm vaping now. but still collecting zippo. trust me, kendo has different texture than bacon. it's a fiber cotton or something not as absorbant as cotton bacon.
@@irfanarachman91 thanks for the info, i haven't tried it yet but I was considered about the texture
:-)
@@irfanarachman91 terimakasih bang info nya baru mau main zippo soalnya
Thanks for sharing man!
Thank you. Then I'll take a look at it.
@@ZippoFanatic77 I am in Italy for now. If you ever know if any of the brands produced here are good, just let me know.
@@ZippoFanatic77 anche io sono calabrese.
Lol I got gauze in mine, it works, use it for the wick too
I have to try that
Sweet. Thanks for another great vid ZF
@@ZippoFanatic77 are you having a fight companion?
@@ZippoFanatic77 lol sounds good man. Enjoy the fights man.
Really helpful
Very cool
How many lighters would one bag fill?
Japan? Where are you getting that from? It says made in the usa on the back of the bag.
Where do you get cotton bacon. can't find it on amazon
Bacon! 🔥🔥🔥
So there's no call to put more than one flint in? It's not a pistol mag.
yes
Hey zippo man, this isnt related to the video but,
In one of my zippos, I was changing out the flit, and the small little piece of the flint while I was taking it out flipped and got stuck inside of the little flint pipe. Right in the middle of it. Other than just bashing it apart for an hour, do you have any recommendations of getting it out?
@@ZippoFanatic77 I definitely can do that, didn't think of it. Ill let you know in a livestream how it went! Thanks.
just wondering about something, ya say that the cotton is made in japan, yet on the back of the `cotton bacon' package, it has `made in the u.s.a.' . which is it ? either it's from japan or the u.s.a.
Cotton Bacon is not Japanese cotton, I think we was confused. It is processed and packaged in the US.
My zippo is a slim one. Is there a specific method for the slim?
can someone explain to me why there is copper wire in the zippo cord ... does it have any function?😱😱
Damn that’s a good idea. I have a bunch of that stuff from when I tried to quit smoking lol. Glad there’s another use for it.
That bacon is 100% cotton?
liked and subscribed
Wow
Cotton Bacon pack is not available here in India😢. Any other alternatives?
when the lighter is open longer and lit does the flame decrease? This happened with medical cotton wool even if the lighter was full. Thanks
@@ZippoFanatic77 I used ordinary medical cotton wool 100% from the store of 1 e 50gr, it happened to me when I light a lighter after 5 to 10 seconds the flame decreases, so I wonder if the same thing happens with cotton bacon prime because I intend to buy? Thanks zippo brother :-)
@@ZippoFanatic77 better cotton than the original zippo, I bought and installed it on two of my lighters, it can fit more petrol and I like it, it absorbs well and has no flame problems
It's okay to use normal cotton?
I have japannese or vhinese cotton from wen I was going can I use it?
@@ZippoFanatic77 thank you ..i suscribed yesterday and liked
How long did it last before it dried out?
I bought my first zippo a few weeks ago and my fluid is not lasting more than 4 - 5 days. Is there a cheap alternative fuel I can use?
@@ZippoFanatic77 Thank you. I will try that. You got a new subscriber :)
Where is the bacon/bag combo vid?
been suspecting organic cotton for a while and now this settles it lol, I read somewhere that Zippo actually recommends 100% organic cotton. maybe on their repacking video? not sure but do check it out
@@ZippoFanatic77 dang it. I tried looking around but it appears Zippo had deleted their comment. it used to be on their wick video and FAQ as well. it used to say "we actually recommend 100% cotton" or something like that. I wonder why...
and no, there aren't vape stores near me, but I can order some bacon cotton online. do you recommend packing it like the regular rayon balls or twist it like you do?
@@ZippoFanatic77 I will wait for your update before experimenting then. Cheers!
I wonder where I could find this at
Hey, should you always pack the cotton as much as possible? I got my first zippo a few weeks back, it held the fluid for almost two weeks with the plastic bag trick, and when I was packing the original rayon balls, it seemed like you could fit almost twice as many in there
@@ZippoFanatic77 so the best solution would be switching to this cotton altogether? Also, love your channel, your videos helped me out quite a bit
Thanks a lot :) i have one zippo that I carry around all the time, so taping it off would rid of the experience of using a zippo haha. Zippo's are awesome, only bad thing is that I'm from Europe and all Zippo's here are really expensive, even used ones (the most basic go for around 15€), not to mention the new ones, especially with a nicer design - those go for around 60€, which is like 70€. Are the prices in USA just as high?
@@ZippoFanatic77 I see. Well, maybe it just seems really expensive when minimum wage taxed is around 550€. Shouldn't get a hobby if you got no money haha. Anyway, thanks for the help and keep up the good work!
Awesome...I wonder if it's available in Canada.
Finally found some cotton bacon
@@ZippoFanatic77 idk I filled it an hour ago but it does suck up fuel better. Although I don't know if that's good because if it fills up slowly does that mean it retains fuel better or the other way around
@@ZippoFanatic77 probably not my Internet sucks and I have been going to bed very early recently but I should get my Internet fixed soon. Also I see you have been pretty silent until like a week back is that to do with the big C
Commenting for a chance to win the giveaway
I tried it and instead of three days the fuel lasted four. Not exactly the result I was hoping for. Maybe I didn’t have it packed tight enough so I have stuffed some more in there. Or maybe I over packed it I don’t know.
@@ZippoFanatic77 I’ll rewatch how you packed yours and do the same.
@@ZippoFanatic77 it’s cotton bacon.
How long do you fill it? I counted out about 20 seconds worth of fuel
Just started this new channel its just gonna be music for people to stream with since its all copy right free
@@ZippoFanatic77 lol no worries Zippo. Hows it going?
Another great video man, so I have 500 flints on the way , now ordering cotton and wicks , looking for a lifetime supply lol. Bought a gallon of Coleman white gas today for fuel. Any wheel replacement you prefer? Or wicks?
How does the Coleman white fuel burn in a zippo. Does it smell much different? If I am thinking right, the Coleman fuel doesn’t contain naphtha
@@klatonpowell I would actually say it burns slightly with less smell. I love the zippo smell though. You can also get Naptha at home Depot.
@@klatonpowell actually got the cheap Crown brand that's supposed to be the same. Works great imo.
@@JMGeranimo awesome! I will still use zippo fuel on the regular, but I will keep some of that crown fuel around just in case! Where did you find it?
@@klatonpowell Walmart camping section
Still gotta buy this cotton
Zippo cotton costs 50 SEK and a pack of cotton bacon 70 SEK 😅😅
1 Zippo worth of cotton 50 kronor and a whole bag of bacon 70 🤷🏼♂️ what a differens. How many Zippo can one pack from bacon, more then one I assume 🤔😋🙃😄 för 2 dollars more... unbelivable
👍❤️
Hey Zippo guest who?
What's the update on this?
Well screw it, just ordered a pack for myself
@@ZippoFanatic77 I gotta be honest, I'm extremely glad I stumbled on your channel
Have you seen they have a version 2?
@@ZippoFanatic77 they have a few different versions. I wasnt paying attention earlier. I see you have the prime bag already.
@@dylandepuy3715 Prime is actually newer than V2, and more absorbent.
I've bought some cotton bacon from amazon for less than £5 with delivery and it arrived yesterday. Filled my zippo with it today so will see how long it lasts compared to the rayon that the zippo came with? I usually get 6 to 7 day's anyway but if it lasts longer then its a bonus! If not then I've not really lost much coz it was only £5 and I used hardly anything so got loads left
As I'm a heavy smoker the bag trick would become annoying if I was taking it out 20 times a day. Tbh I'm happy if the cotton bacon just makes it last a day or two more, in a survival situation a extra day's worth of fuel can be a life saver, not that that particularly applies to me 😂
Well initial findings aren't good unfortunately. I filled to full on Monday and now is Thursday and it's run dry, this is a lot less than when I was using rayon. Not sure if I've done something wrong or it's a case of working in? But I've filled again and will see if it's better this time around?
its me
Hello in this video you said you shouldn't take out the cotton that's on the side of the flint tube in this video at 3:49 ua-cam.com/video/u9j-DBGKL94/v-deo.html but you take it out here what should I do I'll be using cotton bacon
Edit: you said it can cause problems by taking out that cotton
Fluid is a pain to maintain thanks for the info
Hackitty hack hack hack.
I need bacon
So vaping wick
No I will not use my weight cotton in my zippo that shit cost too much money😂😂
@@ZippoFanatic77 yea i buy bulk for my vaping lol.. i use cotton backn good idea tho to use it does it really extend the fuel
