What else are you doing wrong with your zippos? Comment below what I missed
Loading a wick would be hot for zippo lites 😇👀✌🏻
I’ve been using zippos for 40 years and never knew about repacking it until I seen your videos. Game changer ! Especially with cotton bacon and bag trick.
Thanks dougler how’s the pouch ?
I repacked all of my inserts and trimmed my grandfather's 1986 Zippo (My Christmas gift to him when I was 15) after your advice! And I only use Butane by Colibri, as I have other nice torches for my cigars. It's the best and cleanest Butane fuel.
Nice colibri good stuff.
I've been using Neon 11x in my inserts, cigar lighters and hobby torch for a while now. Got it on sale in a multi pack and it's been working great.
Beginners or not, this is great stuff!! Thanks as always, man.
...COLIBRI all day, baby!
Hell yeah Blake !! Thanks buds
Hi, love your videos. Just FYI the butane that I use, bought on Internet is NEON 5X refined.
It works really great on all my butane lighters
Yes herd that was good also
A couple of other quality butane brands:
Vector and Zikar
One more thing Zippo owners are doing wrong:
They are not cleaning the nozzle/jet of their butane insert. Use a very small flat head screwdriver to scrape it lightly, use compressed air to blow ir off, and use 100% acetone on a q-tip to remove caked in dirt, ash, and residue from burnt fuel.
Thanks for your input !
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors You are welcome. Your channel is great. I have learned a lot from you. 🙌
@@Octavian8249 thanks buds !
Bernzomatic butane runs great
Thanks tody !
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors no problem
Great top five. I seldom use Zippo butane inserts, but the Xikar Tech torch lighter i use occasionally for cigar touch ups, burns Vector brand butane very well.
Anthony my man !
nice vid and your beginner guides are great
Thanks buds !
I’m in the United States. For the butane inserts, I’ve been using Coleman butane. Probably not the highest quality, but it works for me. I don’t know if it’s just Coleman, but the gas is pretty stanky when I fill it up, so maybe keep that in mind too.
Coleman has been working in the torches for u ?
Nice vid! Another thing I'd point out with butane inserts, is to remove all the remaining butane and air inside before refilling 😁
Hell yeah buddeh !!
Enjoy your site very much. I've been using ZIPPOS my entire smoking life. At each fill up I always put a drop or two of 3in1 oil on all moving parts. Have a EDC I've used everyday for 20+ years with absolutely no problems.
Yeah these lighters are built to last
Also thank u for the kind words good sir
the only butane ive never had a problem with is Bernzomatic. they sell it at most hardware stores for soldering pipes.
Never used it but interesting
Great video. Jennifer and I have been using Scripto butane in our yellow flame inserts. No problems so far.
Terry ! How’s it in the torches bud?
Haven't had any issues with the torches either. I've only the dual torch one by Zippo. I also have a Vector dual torch that I use Scripto butane in as well. No problems with either.
@@zippolyonsden1623 nice u should make a video terry. Alternate butane for the zippo torch.
That's I good idea. I should make one.
@@zippolyonsden1623 it will do well. Plus people are always searching the butanes
Awesome that you mentioned buck's forever warranty
Zippo and buck knife the only thing worth carrying. Last a lifetime
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors exactly I carry a 35 replica and a buck toothpick every day never had problems
Now we will be waiting patiently to get a look of your new G-Shock!🎉
Hahaha yeah I still havent made the video. Maybe next weekend.
Looking forward to it!
@@Georgios_koufianakis thanks buds ! I figured the community wanted a zippo videos though. My last few videos kinda yanked
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors true but all your videos are fire so can't complain 😂
@@Georgios_koufianakis thanks buds I try my best
Another awesome video buddy!! All great tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!!!
Thanks! Will do!
I’m from uk and I use a butane over here called swan I been using it with same butane insert for 2 years never failed me
Nice 👍
you started a live after I fell asleep last night I feel betrayed
Haha should be having another one later
@@Zippofanatic77outdoorsawesome
@@michaelschneider8477 sick see u there buds.
1:30 woww...My one is Amor High Polish Brass "I" "22" too...wow I am proud to be the same as you!, altho no custom :D
11x neon is the ONLY butane I will ever use. Amazon, eBay, super easy to find.
Herd good things about that butane
yeah i had several times skin irritation due to over filling my zippo..its true happens with me.
American here using butane from the UK, Whip-It North Sea Premium Butane.
Nice. I’m using special blue also from the Uk
Amazing video! Just bought my first "zippo" yesterday (its a knockoff but the cheapest zippos where I live cost about 70 euros) and already did most of the tips and tricks you sugested (incluiding the plastic bag on the bottom, except it's a cut off finger off a plastic glove). Love your channel and subscribed. Greetings from Portugal!
Thanks ! ❤️from🇨🇦
Really bro the cheapest zippo in your country cost about 70 Euro 😮😮
I picked up something called 9X Just Butane. Supposed to be "premium purified."
Most of the use I have had with it has been refilling clipper lighters. I have had no issues with it. Havent had much testing with the Zippo inserts.
I assume it will work fine tho.
Nice buds. It’s doesnt take a premium to run a soft flame. It’s when it’s in a torch u know if it’s good.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Ohhhh so the issue really only pops up with the torch types?
@@FidelCashflow_YT yeah mainly the torches brother.
Thank you love your content mr zippo
No problem thanks !!
1:37 ah I see a butane torch in an armor fits well. I read various times people saying it doesn't fit right. Even zippo website says it doesn't fit an armor...which is weird cause for regular insert it's the same for armor or regular.
Depends on the armor. Most it doesnt though
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors you mean most doesn't fit? or most fit?. I think (after thinking about it for a long time lol) I finally arrived at the decision to use normal insert...it has lifetime warranty too. But I live in Malaysia and if you send to zippo in my country they say they will have to send to the USA and you have to pay for the shipping...so I probably gonna wait for more than 1 insert getting loose before sending...I have a lot of insert as I bought alot 10 years ago.
I lost all my armors tho so I am buying High polish brass armor most likely.... I am an Armor guy lol...must have armor...armor or bust! :D.
Thanks for the reply.
Buy zippo fluid if you want to keep the brand going is what i suggest, for me in my personal feelings about vintage old classic style there is no point in using butane inserts, if you are a cheap person or want to save some money buy a gallon of naphta for about 40 bucks because all lighter fluids are naphta, the powerfull reason to buy your favorite brand lighter fluid is to help to keep the brand going on.
Yeah most weed smokers don’t want fluid though they want butane. And butane has opened up the doors for zippo to a whole batch of new customers. So many people that wouldn’t use zippo before now do because of the butane inserts. So I would say they are keeping the doors open for zippo more than u would ever imagine.
I got an aluminum lighter fluid keychain. It's small but holds more than enough in case you run out. Mine has never leaked either.
Yeah I’ve head mine for 7 years or something. I have no issues
Btw if you use bad butane purge it you can take the butane out
I'm new here in zippo community and your video helps a lot. Anyway, do you know any insert that's fuel efficient and don't need any button to hold the fire. I'm not a fan of torch style though, I just want the usual soft flame or traditional yellow fire with some red and blue on it. I don't mind if it's for pipe or what, I just want a fuel efficient and doesn't have any button to hold to keep the fire going, windproof will be good too if you have anything to suggest. Also what armor is great to have? And the size or number, I've noticed 41 is really good
ua-cam.com/video/3jVrHvv7WwM/v-deo.htmlsi=cp8QWq8IyLDh5pnt
I'm gonna be honest and say that I've done all 5 of these things lol
I took care 4 of them, only 1 remains, and I think I need your help for this one.
would it be awesome if you make a guide on zippo maintenance? I'd appreciate it, honestly.
Haha me too that’s how I knew to make the list
I use the ronsonal haven’t had an issue
Nice 👍
Got a bit of a loose hinge but it’s not on one of my sentimental ones so that’s the upside, plus as mentioned in the video, zippo has a lifetime warranty so if it ever breaks I’ll just send her in to get fixed up
Yeah also they will tighten it better than when u bought it
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors thanks for the tip brother!!
@@Deathstroke1394 anytime
Special blue 5x or 9x(preferred) refined butane is what I run. Also, since I'm using my Zippo for my project uses as well, don't use the flame for more than 30 sec(fluid or butane).
Yeah I don’t keep mine lit forever either
I’ve been using zippo butane for my single torch insert but I’ve got a can of colibri that came with my cigar humidor for free when I bought it so should I just stop using the zippo and just use the colibri? I’ve still got another small can of zippo butane I haven’t used yet.
Oh nice ! Zippo butane works for now but it won’t probably come winter. That’s experience I have anyways. When u notice your insert is having a hard time staying lit. Switch to colibri
Id like to see the Gravity Falls custom. Isn't listed in your customs playlist. Thanks!

Howdy fella. Just found your channel and been going through videos. Going to do that repacking trick you mentioned to mine tomorrow. Thank you for the advice and wanted to ask where ya got that lighter on the left with the critter skeleton its right fancy lookin.
Thanks man. I made those zippos I make customs
How would I go about ordering one from you? Looks like they'd make great every day users and Christmas gifts.
@@CelticSamoan they take me a whole weekend just make one. It’s not something I do all the time. I’m actually not making any anymore. I do have one available for trade it’s in my community tab. A rose gold armor custom I made.
I can believe it they're right impressive so a weekend is still pretty darn fast. I understand and hey just wanna say thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions and thanks for sharing these videos with us all
Calebri
I used the butane jet insert for lighting rockets. Do you have an advice how to properly clean the jet nozzle?
Also greetings from Germany 😊
Rubbing alcohol and a qtip
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors
Thanks ☺️ The answer was easier that I thought. Will try.
Nice good video
Nice good comment ventress !
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors haha xx
I have had good luck with Neon 7x or 11x filtered. Works great with the single tourch unit as witn my yellow flame.
Oh nice Dan thanks for sharing!
I use colibri premium…No issues ever
Colibri is top shelf butane
Is zippo canada good place to buy zippo?
Oh yeah I buy all mine from there
This is off topic but still zippo. Found a nice Vietnam era zippo and I wanted to ask where I could maybe check if its real. Stamp looks real and so does everything else.
So if everything looks real why do u need to check. Is this zippo over 1000$ or something ?
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Well because it's brass. I know brass FINSIH zippos didnt exist during vietnam but it just looks like the chrome wore off since its general finish does like quite used and nothing like ive ever seen before. It kinda has a slight rainbow effect like some gasoline puddle. I dont as much experience collecting, especially anything before 1980. I just dont wanna get ripped off basically.
@@AliMer20 well if your buying it because u think it’s a Vietnam war used zippo. Ill tell u now it’s not don’t buy it. Your getting scammed. If your buying it because u want a zippo from the era. U can get them for like 5$ lol
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors did some more checking and i think its fake. Took a while but a lot of the fakes have slightly different logos than the original. Thanks for the input and tip for the future
Do you know any online shop that sells zippo lighter. Can't find anything online that seems legitimate
I only order directly from zippo.
how do u oil the hinge?? just olive oil it or what? thx!!
I use mineral oil
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors so u just put a drop on the hinge and let it dry out?
@@ladysman2175 well open and close it work it in there. Wipe off the access oil. Have u never oiled anything your life before ?
to be honest not really besides my bike chains lol. but how often do u oil the hinge if using it regularly every day? @@Zippofanatic77outdoors
😊😊
BernzOmatic
Zippo fluid
Tried true and tested
I use Swan fuel here in England but have just ordered some Zippo fuel prior to watching this video, i thought it must be the best, not sure now as you’ve said it’s shit 🤔
Haha yeah it’s garbage. It will run a yellow flame insert just fine. But not a torch. Youll see. Don’t get very much time out of it until the jet starts fluttering and struggling to stay lit. U need that premium butane 9-10 times refined
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors thanks for info mate, appreciated 👍🏻
@@pompeylad1977 anytime my man. Just stop by and leave a comment if u have a question
Never run your zippo dry about every 3 or 4 days put 5 to 7 seconds of fuel in it.
Larry what’s up my guy! How’s the silver armor edc ?
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors doing well just working and taking care of things. The silver armor is still the go to EDC had to switch the insert with another zippo the cam spring broke on the original insert.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors posted pictures in discord
Don't do tricks. Hehe. Agreed.
