From a survival perspective, having a small solar charger and the arc type lighter probably means the most uses.
Two parts I would miss. First, when you need to see in the dark, the original Zippo does better, gives more light, and is easier to handle. Second, Once you light the original zip, you can easily manipulate the lighter with two fingers to any place you want too light stuff.
I know these are relative minor things, but for these two facts I ended up going back to the original. Yes, its more work, but I always thought there is something satisfying filling a zippo. But I am old and like that fact that a 80 year old design is still very viable, gives me hope for myself. hehe.
I'm no kid myself, but there's one serious drawback to using a Zippo for light...the case gets too hot fairly quickly, and if there's anything combustible in the air, it's a great way to set it off...ok, that's two things, but who's counting? It's better to keep a flashlight, of one sort or another, where you can easily find it, like I do. I have an excellent little keychain light (sadly, the spring sprang out when I opened it to change the battery a couple of months ago...oops) that I've been using for decades--shaped like a little flying saucer.
@@TheEudaemonicPlague olight is my go to for any flashlights. I keep a couple of batons in my cars with the reusable case.
Hell yeah brother.. plus that arc insert, can ignite diesel fuel too. In case the Frod F-350 King Ranch edition "power stroke" won't turn over. The only real drawback to Zippo's is the fluid literally starts slowly evaporating right after you fill it. It's on a 1-2 week maximum countdown to being empty. And that's if you just let it sit. Honestly, we prefer to use VP racing fuel or kerosene. Lasts twice long.
After getting shouted at right at the beginning, I thought I wasn't going to watch this video, but I was interested, and eventually when you calmed down, it was very beneficial. I just ordered the rechargeable insert for a very old engraved gold-plated Zippo case that says "Love, Louise" on it. Thanks.
i had the exact same thought.
Yeah was very close to leaving after the first few obnoxious seconds...but then things became so much better!
I'm glad that I somehow missed this part of the video 😂
Yeah...I had a bit of extra energy at the beginning of the video. Had so many comments on it so I cut that part out already. You're welcome. 🤣
I havnt smoked for years, but there's still something about the sound and feel of a Zippo.
Glad im not the only one ☝🏼
Great review man, nothing like that click, ordering all 3, have a hundred skins to slip them into. Oh learn the Zippo tricks bro! Thanks
Just ordered my arc lighter can’t wait no more lighter fluid mess but am going to miss the smell
Great review. Zippos in all their shapes and sizes are a thing of beauty. It nice to see them keeping up with the times.
I remember long ago when I still smoked, I didn't like to light one up using traditional gasoline Zippos because I thought it tasted weird. Just thought of that 😄
Hey very good video keep on going!!
I would have apreciated to see the different levels on the butane ones just for you to know. Thank you!
What Thunderbird offers that Zippo does not is a butane with a spark wheel, holes in the wind shield, and a soft flame. I got this for my brushed brass 1941 replica to maintain the original look and operation. The only caveat is that the gas likes to shoot past the spark without igniting, which can be solved by simply tilting the lighter so that the gas is flowing over the base of the spark wheel. Other than the lack of the strong smell of traditional liquid lighter fuel, it seems just like the original.
Just got a dule flame it gets 60 lights per fill up .the single gets 100 so turn down the screw to save fuel !
Just ordered the zippo arc. Rechargeable plus made by zippo can’t go wrong
It’s great if you’re only lighting cigarettes
If they made a yellow flame insert I'd snap it up, but I'm happy with Vector's version, which looks, feels and sounds like the original.
I bought the same and Im so Happy it's soooo Good Quality 👌🏼👌🏼
zippo... where's the traditional wheel for the butane inserts???
Fantastic review brother. I have been a huge Zippo user for many years and looked into butane instead of petrol, which led me to this video. So would you say that the single butane is better than a usb zippo?
Zippo makes a soft yellow flame butane insert now, with the striker wheel type of ignition. Check it out, I think it's pretty good looking for an upgrade, but kinda still retro-ish appearance.
Is it heawier than zippo butane lighter? Because of the battery?
Great video will they fit the armor style case
Vector is ok but Calibri is cleaner and less expensive man with a metal filling spigot. On the butane inserts whats the heat from sustained use like on these? Suppose you can heat wrap them just wondering what the potential for catastrophic failure is from the heat. Like the idea behind using what I always considered a over rated but unique lighter. Fill em halfway and look where the spark grounds when they don't light. Dual one just seems like it would burn through the tank and seems overkill for pocket carry.
I've had pretty good experience with the Vector 5x filtered. I have read about some people having issues with Calibri clogging nozzles but I haven't try it myself so can't speak for or against it. Good point on the metal filling spigot. I have actually dropped a Vector can before and broke the spigot redering it useless. Only time will tell on long term reliability of these Zippo inserts. The powerful jet flame and not having the fuel dry out like standard Zippo is nice. For possible survival situations I always have a ferro rod as a backup.
I like the ones with the lighter flued inserts but still these are still cool
I saw it in the Amazon reviews that people thought that the Zippo inserts were fake is this true.
this is a really smart move from zippo ngl
I have the single just bought it and I rather have butane fuel then a regular zippo fuel for cigars.
Wheres the cap from the zippo arc lighter
Do you have any idea if you can take the electric lighter on a plane like you can with bic and regular zippo?
Yes you can.
Frostimator NO you cannot. You cannot carry this on any flight, per zippo’s website
cwill212 if you cannot take the electric lighter can you take butane?
on zippos website, it says you cannot. i assume its due to altitude pressure and the battery. same with pressure and butane fuel. id stick to regular inserts or bics for flying
If you want the clunk you gotta actually let the lid open not just keep holding it
I like the z plus becaus its still has the wheel but I it should have a bad quality. Do you tried them?
I use bernzomatic butane from home depot 5.99 a can is that good
Nice Citizen!
Well done! 😷
The rechargeable arc is a perfect fit for cigarettes. And a J lol stogie go for the old model.
Is it good for blunts like backwood?
I like matchbox ❤️due to issues during entrance checking.so, use it -through it - buy a new one - REPEAT
you can only recharge the arc 300 times? for 40 uses ?
That’s 12,000 uses. 60,000 seconds of active arc time. A little over 16.5 hours is pretty good for a 15 dollar insert if you ask me.
Hello, I'm thinking of buying, but I'm undecided between the single and the double.. What do you recommend?
If you're mainly using for cigars or something that needs a serious flame, get the double. For general use, I would just get the single.
I don't know what you ended up going for, but I think the double flame is the way to go. If you're worried about butane use, just set it to minimum level.
Which ones best in the wind!!
I would bet arc but you don't get the open flame. If you prefer torch then I would say double flame.
Good video 👍
is the stock insert good enough?
It’s perfect, there’s just other ones if you prefer stinger blames. Personally I like the original one
@@damianwadsworth7603 thank you for the feedback
Arc lighter battery charge only 300 times? That's less than a year, assuming you'll recharge daily.
Yes, assuming you fully charge and discharge the battery each day. Most people obviously won't use it this often.
Forty (40) five-second uses per charge.
i buy three lighters for $1 at the dollar store..lol
Does anybody honestly prefer arc lighters?
Yes
No they're not good for much of anything except to light cigarettes. And, you have to charge them often.
So is it possible to overfill a butane lighter?
i imagine so. enough pressure will build up and the butane would probably spew out or kick the canisters nozzle off the lighter.
yes, the insert will burst and you'll probably get second degree burns on your hands and face depending on how your holding it.
Outdated technology? Lol. Its a lighter. It has 1 purpose. To make fire. It takes 30 seconds once a week to 10 days to fill my Outdated zippos. No nozzles to clog. No electronics to fail or wait an hour and a half to charge. I'll stick to old school.
You’re beyond boomer, we get it! 😉
@@woodypigeon I have a double arc as well as traditional. However, guy has a point it takes more time and effort to remove the double arc plug it in wait for it to charge and reinstall to case then just filling the bottom of a traditional and being done with it. That being said I plan on using both types for a long time.
@@GovShtDwnChimps yeah, i get that it takes longer, but its not like you have to stand there waiting for it. The original is still the coolest as far as looks and function though.
@@TwatMcGee Agreed. If the arc is needed though it'd be smart to have a spare just in case, most of us that have conventional zippos have more than one after all.
Lol don't touch the arc insert when on it will give u an shock
Nice zippos!
I expected better quality. But no. Made in china
