my parents got me my first zippo when I was around that age. I just thought they were so badass. Nothing negative ever came of it, and it was fun to play with. If anything, it got me more comfortable with improving my manual dexterity. Now I'm in dental school and using my fingers every day, constantly playing with stuff in my hands definitely helped!
I got a Zippo about a year ago on a whim and found you when I was looking up some Zippo tricks. Since I found your channel I've bought a decent handful of Zippos (and got an old slim from my father that he used while in the Navy in the 70s, really cool) and somewhere along the line got into knives too, so now I have a handful of those too. I'm sure my wife thanks you for making me spend so much money lol. Anyway keep doing what you're doing man.
I was actually pretty disappointing when I found out how difficult it was to light my pipe when I bought my first zippo. After looking into it I then realized there was a pipe-specific insert. Iv heard you can send your zippo to the manufacture and get the inserts swapped for little or no fee. But eventually Ill probably just buy one of the pipe models. Would be nice to have a back up zippo anyway. A very good video though! Watching it made me flick mine out just to play around with it again :]
Don't want to taste the fuel? don't draw so hard. That's it. That's the "secret". Draw lightly and it won't pull excess fuel vapour into the air, and you won't taste it.
I have a Zippo pipe lighter and want to love it, but it seems to always light the spark wheel on fire too. Is this something perhaps as a result of not putting the lighter fluid in correctly? Thanks for any suggestions on avoiding this.
+Randywolf244 you are a young kid and you dont smoke, we can see this from your channel and subscriptions, i dont act like an Adult (being fifteen) but i do collect zippos, you react like this to a joke made by a fellow viewer it clearly shows you are immature and probably less mature than this guy that made the fucking joke...
I really like my pipe zippo even if I just got it today but after a few bowls I've found that there is a slight fuel taste but that generally goes after 10 puffs so I don't worry about it, but the biggest problem with it is it's a bit difficult to light the bottom of a deep bowl pipe.
if its smokes alot it more than likely means your wick needs to be changed or theres not enough fluid so your wqick is lighting on fire dry and its burning as apposed to the fuel vapors from it
I actually use one of these to light my pipes. While I do taste/smell the fluid during the initial light up, it goes away as soon as you pull the flame away. I can see where it would bother some people, but I can live with it.
yes the biggest complaint about zippos by far is the fuel evaporating, good tip for that is a thick rubber band to cover the gap between the lid and base for storage longer term so it wont evaporate
I got this lighter as part of a gift set my wife got me that included a Petersen 303 Pipe. I never really used the Zippo because it's much easier to use a standard Bic lighter. You have to draw much harder using a Zippo or a match. I have a ton of pipes. Savinelli is my favorite brand for pipes. Meershaum pipes are really awesome, too. Do you have any Meershaums?
for me, usualy no lanyard, just gets in the way, only time Ill use one is if the knife is loose in the pocket and Ill ahve the lanyard hanging outside the pocket for quick acess...

jeff is fucking awesome he shares his life with us he actually takes the time to reply to comments and even replys to his messages my favorite youtuber by far
I didn't even know these were a thing until a few days ago. I've been using my regular zippos to light my pipes with no problem. I just turn the pipe sideways instead of the lighter. I wanna try a pipe Zippo though.
It will. Over time, it will scorch the rim, as will a Bic -- provided that you are smoking a briar pipe. All pipes I've ever owned had or have scorched rims, it never bothered me. When you polish your pipe, you can barely see a difference, either, the scorched part will be just as shiny as the rest.
Hi Jeff, I'm 16 and love to collect knives.my collection is small but its all quality stuff. I don't have a lot of time because of school and sports so i cant have a job at the moment so moneys tight. what are some good quality, affordable edc knives?
My Zippo Pipe Lighter, is brass, the top woolen a little, and it did from the beginning, but it didn't break yet, its just I wish it didn't wobble, but Cest La Vie.
good point, when lighting any form of smokeable substances, butane/lighter fluid does not ruin the taste or is bad for health or anything. But i have to say nothing is better than rolling up a spiff, striking a match and lighting it up. It's just a feeling no other kind of flame can give. Same goes for cigarettes and cigars but i try to cut down on tobacco smoking :D
Jeff is my favorite youtuber too! He's the only one that I get on daily to watch religiously! Haha I don't care what his videos are about I just want to catch up with my ol pal haha
I'm the proud owner of one of these, just today. It's also my very first Zippo EVAH so with me luck on the very long road to collecting lighters and pipes. Damn, Jeff. You have ruined me and I am totally okay with it...
Not at all. While I enjoy many blends of Latakia and aromatics, it's about collecting beautiful pipes. I wish to, one day, have as many pipes as I could ever want.
I say yes, sounds great, if he really wont ever use the regular insert, look online on ebay or amazon for an old ziplight insert, he can still do some tricks, its a flashlight insert...when he wishes to do tricks that involve lighting it, you cna swap it out with the regular insert and be around the house for that for safety...and he can have the light one in everywhere he goes...accept maybe school
Oskar Mora I don't see why not, some people I've talked to say that they taste the fluid when they smoke weed with zippos but I've never experienced that. I use a standard zippo to smoke my bong bowls regularly
Love my Zippos. You should have lit it. Also if you have a regular zippo and want to covert it over. Send it in to zippo the will put the pipe insert in it for you
they were thrown out with tons of other stuff from a movie unit becasue my grandmother couldnt afford to keep paying for the unit, it wasnt like the shows where they auctioned it off, back then they just threw out everythgin when peopel didnt pay after goign through and taking what they wanted
Ok good for weed smokin for bowl or bong but again back to the taste I don’t prefer to smoke weed with a Petrol lighter I orefer pressure butane lighters for that but good video Jeff love ya buddy
hey cutlerylover can you do some reviews on hookahs i think they are cool cause its relevant and its ok for underaged people to do, at least the non tobacco stuff
I have a Zippo Pipe Lighter as well as a Butane Lighter and have experience no difference between the tastes of the tobacco. You may experience a higher consumption of lighter fluid with a Zippo Pipe Lighter, because it takes longer to light a pipe than it does a cigarette.
Okay, but I found a better solution for me: get a Thunderbird insert. They even make a pipe-lighting version, which I have. I love mine, because I get a nice-looking Zippo case, with no fuel leakage from the butane system, and it still produces a very 'soft' flame, WITH a traditional flint striker lighting system. Win-Win.
don't expect the pipe design to stay on there, I've had mine for just about a year and it's completely gone. and I lost my top piece, don't know why it's removable just seems dumb it's a pipe lighter.
I'd still be concerned about imparting flavor since you're tipping the zippo over to light. I know you can work with it but its just another variable If you're looking for a high value butane pipe lighter I'd recommend the HONEST brand pipe lighter off of DealXtreme. For about $10 I got two of them; they don't hold a lot of butane so I carry both incase I run out. They don't come with instructions so look up how to properly fill a lighter.
also, he might take it apart to see how it's really just a few simple items combined to make a system. Tinkering with anything you find interesting is great for young people... something that should always be promoted,
I use a zippo for pipes, can't detect any smell or taste. But what I dislike about zippos is you have to keep filling them, and they dry out. Its gets annoying.
While the pipe insert works pretty well and doesn't really change the taste of my jazz cabbage; I still find that Naphtha feels harsher on the throat than either butane or electric arc lighters. Zippo now makes an insert of each type, and while the butane torch one is decent the arc lighter is useless for pipe smokers. You can find random no name Chinese electric arc lighters that work well with pipes, but it's a total crapshoot in terms of quality and whether it will fit into your pipe.
Believe it or not, they will give you a pipe lighter insert. If you send in a zippo regardless of needing repair or not and request a pipe lighter insert they will swap it out and send it back.
That whole time without showing it working Jeff!
Would be a great review...if it showed the pipe being used.
my parents got me my first zippo when I was around that age. I just thought they were so badass. Nothing negative ever came of it, and it was fun to play with. If anything, it got me more comfortable with improving my manual dexterity. Now I'm in dental school and using my fingers every day, constantly playing with stuff in my hands definitely helped!
Anyone else love Jeff's unintentional pun of "whatever the case may be"
hehehehe.... wordplay.
10 years later, still great.
I drilled out the holes in my Zippo, about 30 years ago to make my own pipe lighter....Still works today....
What size drill bit should I use
@@jacobmesser2624 A Dremel works real good
omg jeff thank you for putting up a zippo review... i love all this stuff this is what i subbed for originally and grew to love the rest... thanks

Don't want to taste the fuel? don't draw so hard. That's it. That's the "secret". Draw lightly and it won't pull excess fuel vapour into the air, and you won't taste it.
Waiting 1-2 seconds before using the flame helps too
Yeah just keep it lit till the smell goes away
I have a Zippo pipe lighter and want to love it, but it seems to always light the spark wheel on fire too. Is this something perhaps as a result of not putting the lighter fluid in correctly? Thanks for any suggestions on avoiding this.
Can you light crack pipes with these
You can but a zippo blue would make your life a lot easier
Let me guess you own a fedora and have a small amount of aspergers too,right? *****
+Randywolf244 you are a young kid and you dont smoke, we can see this from your channel and subscriptions, i dont act like an Adult (being fifteen) but i do collect zippos, you react like this to a joke made by a fellow viewer it clearly shows you are immature and probably less mature than this guy that made the fucking joke...
+Randywolf244 although i do smoke cigars
Randywolf244 in what fucking century? Jesus...
yes Ill do a video on armor zippos too sometime, but an armor zippo just has a thicker case outside diametere all inserts work in them
I really like my pipe zippo even if I just got it today but after a few bowls I've found that there is a slight fuel taste but that generally goes after 10 puffs so I don't worry about it, but the biggest problem with it is it's a bit difficult to light the bottom of a deep bowl pipe.
Thanks.
is it difficult to light the tobacco when you get to the bottom of the bowl?
Love the review dude. Buying one for my dad this christmas.
Hello,
I was looking for a good lighter pipe.
Now, the choice is obvious.
Thank you.
David Madejski (Poland)
if its smokes alot it more than likely means your wick needs to be changed or theres not enough fluid so your wqick is lighting on fire dry and its burning as apposed to the fuel vapors from it
Just picked up the 1935 replica brushed with the dual torch insert. I don't smoke, but thought it'd be a good idea to carry a lighter
Jeff, are the inserts interchangeable with the armor zippos?
I actually use one of these to light my pipes. While I do taste/smell the fluid during the initial light up, it goes away as soon as you pull the flame away. I can see where it would bother some people, but I can live with it.
yes the biggest complaint about zippos by far is the fuel evaporating, good tip for that is a thick rubber band to cover the gap between the lid and base for storage longer term so it wont evaporate
Are Zippo Pipe Lighters windproof like normal Zippo?
Hello can yo switch inserts between a regular and pipe ?
I got this lighter as part of a gift set my wife got me that included a Petersen 303 Pipe. I never really used the Zippo because it's much easier to use a standard Bic lighter. You have to draw much harder using a Zippo or a match. I have a ton of pipes. Savinelli is my favorite brand for pipes. Meershaum pipes are really awesome, too. Do you have any Meershaums?
What a coincidence, I recently got one of these too (in matte black). Before watching this, I didn't even know you could remove the cap, thanks!
for me, usualy no lanyard, just gets in the way, only time Ill use one is if the knife is loose in the pocket and Ill ahve the lanyard hanging outside the pocket for quick acess...

i just got one and it works great for me. i don't feel the "fuel taste", not a problem for me. a great lighter, i recommend it :)
I didn't even know these were a thing until a few days ago. I've been using my regular zippos to light my pipes with no problem. I just turn the pipe sideways instead of the lighter. I wanna try a pipe Zippo though.
really neat Jeff o got to ask on your knife lanyard or no lanyard
Will the regular zippo insert work for pipes too?
It will. Over time, it will scorch the rim, as will a Bic -- provided that you are smoking a briar pipe. All pipes I've ever owned had or have scorched rims, it never bothered me. When you polish your pipe, you can barely see a difference, either, the scorched part will be just as shiny as the rest.
I've had my zippo pipe lighter for many years. they're durable, but the fluid evaporates like crazy.
Thanks Jeff, didn't know they made that one. I enjoy a pipe a few times a month.
i have one of those, but i don't use it for tobacco pipes if you know what i mean
Hi Jeff, I'm 16 and love to collect knives.my collection is small but its all quality stuff. I don't have a lot of time because of school and sports so i cant have a job at the moment so moneys tight. what are some good quality, affordable edc knives?
Thanks for the comment Brandon
It was my first zippo. Got it 1996. love pipe smoking. Made in the USA and lifetime warranty. Think I am on my 4th guts of it ;)
where i can get the pipe plug for any zippo?
Does this work with weed pipes.
ive always wanted a pipe lighter but i hated the case design, now that i know that they are interchangeable ill def be getting one
A lighter review where you never light it is like a flashlight review where you never turn it on lol
Hey Jeff, if you get the chance check out the vintage Nimrod brand pipe lighters. They're pretty sweet.
Amen brother…it’s my favorite 👍🏻
My Zippo Pipe Lighter, is brass, the top woolen a little, and it did from the beginning, but it didn't break yet, its just I wish it didn't wobble, but Cest La Vie.
does this work with crack pipes too?
what is the zippo of the right side please
I never got one because it has less windproofing, but it is a pretty good deal if you get it with the case.
What is this lighter less windproof than?
good point, when lighting any form of smokeable substances, butane/lighter fluid does not ruin the taste or is bad for health or anything. But i have to say nothing is better than rolling up a spiff, striking a match and lighting it up. It's just a feeling no other kind of flame can give.

Jeff is my favorite youtuber too! He's the only one that I get on daily to watch religiously! Haha I don't care what his videos are about I just want to catch up with my ol pal haha
Hey Jeff can you do a demo of how it works while smoking a pipe
Got my Zippo repaired 6 days ago I want it baaaack alreadyyy 😭
how often do you have to fill yours?
About two weeks
I'm the proud owner of one of these, just today. It's also my very first Zippo EVAH so with me luck on the very long road to collecting lighters and pipes. Damn, Jeff. You have ruined me and I am totally okay with it...
Not at all. While I enjoy many blends of Latakia and aromatics, it's about collecting beautiful pipes. I wish to, one day, have as many pipes as I could ever want.
Gray Au AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FO DAT!
Wulfle i just bought this exact lighter today. To add to my collection an i just seen this video😂😂
lol, yes fire still burns everything it touches...
i got a butane pipe insert for my zippo i dint mean to get the pipe one but it works
I like mine - but its hard to light my pipes if I pack them tight.
Smh i got a pipe zippo instead of the classic kinda disappointing but thanks I didn’t know you can take the top off
It's not advised to use a butane lighter for pipes. The flame is too hot and can damage the pipe. You want a soft flame for pipes.
I say yes, sounds great, if he really wont ever use the regular insert, look online on ebay or amazon for an old ziplight insert, he can still do some tricks, its a flashlight insert...when he wishes to do tricks that involve lighting it, you cna swap it out with the regular insert and be around the house for that for safety...and he can have the light one in everywhere he goes...accept maybe school
Yay I love zippo videos!
so what happened to your grandfathers pipes?? if you don't mind me asking
I use a Zippo with pipe lighter insert for lighting all my pipes and cigars with no detectable taste or smell. A thumbs up from me
Christmas is just around the corner, that'd make a great gift
Is this good for bowls? (weed)
Oskar Mora I don't see why not, some people I've talked to say that they taste the fluid when they smoke weed with zippos but I've never experienced that. I use a standard zippo to smoke my bong bowls regularly
yeah and if you have good weed you shouldn't taste the fuel
Works great 👍✊🏼
This would be great for candles too
I heard somewhere that if you dont want the lighter fluid taste in your tobacco, you can use alcohol.
Love my Zippos. You should have lit it. Also if you have a regular zippo and want to covert it over. Send it in to zippo the will put the pipe insert in it for you
May I get a link plz
"Ting" I love that sound..
hey i make new videos dayley of zippos and zippo reviews come check it out
Jeff!! I love you:)
i live in brazil and zippo lighters are 120 reais(brazilian money) at minimum price, the good ones are about 200
they were thrown out with tons of other stuff from a movie unit becasue my grandmother couldnt afford to keep paying for the unit, it wasnt like the shows where they auctioned it off, back then they just threw out everythgin when peopel didnt pay after goign through and taking what they wanted
Yeah, I get a very foul taste from lighter fluid used in Zippos. Some say the Black cans were an improvement, but nay in my experience.
Nice and Helpfull Review!
YEEEYYY Zippo Videoo!! :D
My pipe stem paint rubbed off, now it's just the bowl. I just noticed it. Damn! 😠
Very cool to throw a dagner shout out Jeff!!!!!!! Lol
i love zippo videos

Thanks. I am a match guy. Hi Gus are you still around. Long time no see??????
I want the Blu2 to come back, common Zippo just call it something else and we'll be done with it.
Come on jeff! Where's the good knifes. Good reviews. Nice guns. Something. :)
You can also send your standard Zippo to the repairs department tell them you want a pipe insert and they will do that for free.
Hey Jeff, no tags?

i have the exact model, personally the tobacco tastes better with zippo
I have the exact same one cx
I find these work great in windy conditions
Well they're aren't called windproof for nothing
hey i make new videos dayley of zippos and zippo reviews come check it out
spyderco tenacious and Kershaw leek are good
