Review on Optimized Zippo Chrome Lighter Collection by Noah Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap junk not worth the ZIPPO name

I'm disappointed in this lighter because it's cheap. The case is thin and light, almost does not open and does not make the famous click. It then only lasts for a day or so, I use it once a week and have to keep refilling it. ZIPPO should be ashamed. I tried contacting support to inquire about fuel evaporation. They don't care, they don't take calls, put you on hold and then ask you to leave a message. Then nothing happens. I ended up sending it back to ZIPPO to have it fixed, I thought I just had a weak one. They sent me back a "corrected" lighter of exactly the same poor quality. I will be returning it never to buy a Zippo again. Chinese Kubota lighter, ST Dupont imitation, cheaper, heavier and more elegant with exquisite decoration. And it clicks. DO NOT buy that bullshit lighter that lasts five minutes.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
