Review on ⚓️ Nautical Zippo Lighters by Jenn Hartman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing lighter! - Lighters and matches

This is my first "real" Zippo, I've had cheap fakes before. Great price on this one here at Revain compared to Zippo.com! Most negative Zippos reviews don't understand how they work, they come empty and you have to add liquid fuel. I also ordered a butane insert, obviously butane doesn't work here at 9000 feet above sea level. I've had reliable Bicks, but they'll pour all the fuel in the bag. I've also bought very expensive butane lighters, most don't work at high altitude and most others are very unreliable and irreparable. There's a reason the Zippo was the number one lighter used in both world wars. Here's a tip: Cut a 1.5" wide section of bike tubing and cover the entire lighter, this will keep the fuel inside for months! It also protects the finish. Ideal for an EDC hose lighter when not in use. During the world wars they also used petrol as fuel in these lighters, they used wire and dipped it in the petrol tanks of their vehicles lol. Once you really understand Zippo, you won't use anything else!

Pros
  • Reusable for life; For best performance we recommend high quality genuine Zippo fluid, flints and wicks
Cons
  • Quick Guide
