Review on Zippo Black Ice Pocket Lighter by Charles Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unfortunately not worth the effort

This is my first Zippo lighter. I have no idea if they're all like this, but if they are, it's no surprise that most people use disposable lighters. First of all you need to be careful that you order Zippo lighter fluid as it is not refilled. Second, most of the time it doesn't work even after filling. Although the instructions say "don't overfill," just dampening it down I got it working without overfilling for a week. It's never worked consistently since then, and while I don't use disposables, I've had no choice but to get my box out. It's a shame because I love the look and feel of this in my hand. Maybe the cheaper zippos don't work? I don't know but I know from the youtube video that I filled it in correctly and it's not reliable.

Pros
  • Original Zippo Windproof lighter with Zippo click
Cons
  • Small change
