Why Chimney Caps SUCK!

[@CelticSamoan]

Thanks for the info, I'd been tempted looking at these for how much it reminded me of some trench lighters and wasn't aware of the downsides
As an extra thank you I just got back from five days in the back country and your cotton repack and bag trick kept my lighter going long after my buddies were out of their keychain refills. Always nice to have some extra bragging rights around the fire.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Hahaha no way ! I loved reading that. U guys were all using zippos and urs outlasted everyone’s haha. So glad to be apart of that camp fire informative story.

[@CaptainGrims]

I know they soot up the wick and what not, but i do like them in my Armors. It can be tedious, but once the Zippo runs dry, a little wet q-tip down in there cleans up okay and gets some of the soot off the wick. Then you use a different lighter for the day and refill it the next and you're good to go.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yeah I like the whole cosmetic of it too. Steps up the zippo in just a little more classy

[@dylandepuy3715]

I DONT CARE!!!!!
You sold me on them.... deal with it!

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Lmao

[@user-ok9hu1jd2v]

Replace the chimney cap with a regular cam piece and you have a solid brass insert.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

I have the original Zippo butane with the flint sparker (now discontinued), and another Zippo with the genuine Zippo butane insert (single jet...l thought the double jet was too much). No more problems with leaking, rashes on my thighs from lighter fluid, and now...true hot, windproof flames.
I keep a couple of the regular Zippo fuel lighters around for the apocalypse, for their ability to use multiple fuels...but l don't EDC them anymore.

[@milescorporosus4058]

Whatever happened to the "ultimate insert" mod with the metal gasket, did I miss that vid?

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

No buddy I never ended up doing it because I learned it would only work if u wanted to never use your zippo. I use mine and even in a sealed insert. It will only last me as long as my regular insert. Because there’s only so many lights in the insert. Just like a car only gets so many miles per gallon.

[@DanielBeuthner187]

Love your videos bro keep up the good stuff

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Thanks Daniel !! Appreciate it

[@paperface1590]

You're the only guy I watch if I need anything to know on zippo. But I'm in a bit of a pinch.
I'm gonna get a new zippo lighter (I already have 2, one matte black and the other chrome), and I'm kinda stuck between 4 choices. 41 black crackle, 41 chrome, vintage look, and normal black crackle. Which would you recommend?
Love from Malaysia, love your vids.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

41 brass one of my favourites.

[@paperface1590]

@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Alr man, thanks!

[@jbinfa7k]

I place my zippo upside down when I am not using it. I just hope the fluid sink to the top. I am too lazy to use your "a few drops on the wick every night" method. :D

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

I don’t do it every night

[@scottmcintosh2988]

Thanks Mike you saved I almost took the bait thought it would stop the evaporation sticking with your Frezer Bag trick giving you credit along with GLAD Frezerbags for better fuel econemy exspect an EPA. Award soon

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Hahah yeah that’s why I stuck with the bag trick. Thanks Scott !! Appreciate it

[@victorleon9587]

What about the other Zorro insert withe the cap? The full metal one, do you recommend that one?

[@danielji2742]

Does the chimney help prevent with evaporation?
I have the Zorros metal gasket ones, no cracking 👍.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Only if your not gonna use it. A full zippo only has so many lights

[@jester_killzem3005]

Have mine for decoration anyway lol. None of my lighters in the collection even have their flint installed 😎

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Yes I take all mine out also

[@LoudMouth01]

Quick question, is it normal for my wick to have the fiber glass exposed at the top?

[@vvvhhh6303]

I still love zorro inserts since they’re still flat and fit well. Do you know how to remove the protective layer of resin on a street brass zippo? I want it to tarnish a bit more.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Rubbing alcohol

[@johncoleman7308]

Or acetone (fingernail polish remover). I soaked mine overnight and the clear coat rubbed/peeled off.

Hi i just got a yellow flame insert and i was thinking about buying a rose gold as my second ever zippo that i own to go with it and because you have both i was wondering if you could check for me if its a good combo in your opinion
(Also im a big fan, keep it up!!)

just to let u know yes they go together very well. I have a recent video where I show it. But !! Zippo just released a gold yellow flame insert. And it I feel it would pair much better with the rose gold

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

Pretty sure it’s the seal on the armor that keeps it from evaporation

[@spacepope87]

I've carried two of those inserts.
On the first one the hinge plunger broke from fidgeting too much. Carried it in an Armor Zippo. You can blame it on my but that's never happened with a zippo insert.
On my second one there is no spark when I strike the wheel. I carried it for almost two years and in a Titanium War Armor type case like yours. I was striking it once or twice a month since I had noticed it get fuzzy on the flint. I changed the flint 4 times and cleaned out the insert but no luck.
