Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Optimized Zippo Pipe Lighters by John Brazington

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as durable as before.

This is the second Zippo I've bought in the last few years. The first lighter with a black tube didn't even last a year because the rocker just stopped working. I thought, well, this is happening. So I bought a second one, it arrived with a problem with the same folding arm. I had to send it back for a replacement. When it arrived I noticed the metal is thin, I mean very thin, the sides flex, and the punch at the tube opening is so close to the back bend that over time it will burn out and become more brittle and appear to break? A week later the loop came loose. They just can't seem to match the quality that Zippo has had in the past? I have many Zippos from the past but can't find tube inserts anywhere. There are links everywhere leading to out of stock items or dead ends, even the Zippo website doesn't tell you how to get them, which is weird.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some little things
