Review on Optimized Zippo Chrome Lighter Collection by Jessica Sanders

I collect Zippo lighters for hobbies and light tricks. I saw this lighter and wanted to add it to my collection. Of course I wanted super shiny chrome for brilliant shine and good grip when doing tricks. I can say that this lighter is very different from ordinary zippos. It is significantly heavier and the clear clattering when opening the lid sounds different. When I opened the lid and connected the sides, it didn't give like normal zippers. The walls are thicker than traditional Zippos and feel heavier. I haven't done many tricks with it because it feels very heavy and I've broken a few Zippo lids in the past. Since the lid is heavier on this one, I figured the heavier weight might make it easier for it to detach. Very beautiful and durable, this armor series has a nice bulletproof name. You will be satisfied with this powerful lighter. I also bought a regular chrome Zippo. In the side-by-side comparison, you can see the difference in thickness by opening the lid to view the wall thickness. Two completely different clanking sounds when opening. I use the normal one for my tricks. It's also cheaper than armor. If you look at it closed they look the same until you pick it up, feel the difference in weight and open it up. Chrome shows fingerprints and a lot of oil stains on your hand and scratches easily. Unlike brushed steel which slides when gripped and doesn't shine as brightly as chrome. You could probably use the chrome plated zipper to signal help at sea or when camping, it's so shiny. Very nice Zippo!
