Cotton Bacon ,is a game changer. Save fuel and buy it.

The inner material from tampons also makes a great packing material for zippos.

Just started getting back into zippos and you're channel has answered a ton of questions I had especially with the hinges I thought I got a dud but good to know thats how they come

Just picked up my first brass finish zippo. Been carrying the same brushed chrome one for 20 years now. Almost exactly 20 years later, a beautiful armor brushed brass Zippo is ready to roadtrip. I had expected after 20 years to see some brass color showing, but even after two decades of traveling and adventuring, it looks pretty new. Ha. So, I gave up. The brass looks classy and the armor case feels great in the hand. I'll have to try these mods out. I never had any issue with anything going too fast on my chrome one, but if I can get more than a week out of it on the road without a refill, awesome! Cheers. 🔥

The Fanatic bag trick and 1.5 inch bike tire tube you should sell the pieces of bike tube Mike !!!

Very informative, especially with the bag trick! Thank you!

I told a co worker today about the bag trick cause he said I love zippos but they chew through fluid , I told him about it and to watch your channel for how to do it and you can get up to two weeks , up here at least , he was like damn ima have to try that

yet another awesome video ZF 👌

Just bought my new organic cotton today and it should be here Friday, Thanks for the tips!

HOLY CRAP.. LIKED COMMENTED AND SHARED THE WHOLE LIST👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

Thanks for the tips

I found it really helpful, thanks

Sweet tricks man.

Man I didn't think about changing cotton. My zippo is 2012 and I never changed it til now because I used to vape and it isn't cotton bacon that I just used. But it's organic and all that and man it holds triple the fluid and now it lights up with just one flick. Also trim the wick as well so it's like brand new again. Thank you. Can't wait to see how long it lasts now. Before I had to refuel every other day and I'm a pack a day smoker and I also light up candles as well with my zippo. So good looking out and I'll let you know when it's time to refuel it to let you know. The cotton name is Native Wicks premium blend cotton

Cool tricks man

thanks for the vid

I'll be trying this.

Just to let everyone know why Cotton Bacon has less of the smell is because it was meant for wicking vape, we don't use those square cottons cause it has been processed, we prefer natural cotton, it' fluffy and it holds a huge amount of liquid and overall it's a good quality cotton, been rocking it for years and yes it works great on Zippo lighters as well 🔥🔥🔥

Man I ordered that Cotten bacon, so weird that the Amazon driver was asking for my DOB to give me cotton lol! This stuff is great! Thanks for all the work you do. Invaluable. Cass piper ☘️

Thx you so much

WOW Mike half a million great big mafia !!!

Wow half a million !!! Hi from NH. !!!

Thanks

Need to get some bacon! Thanks Mike!

I use the bag trick to save fuel but the cotton bacon stuff is awesome.

I need some of that cotton bacon stuff.

Buy VM&P Naphtha it is the same as Zippo Fluid, but at 1/3rd the cost! Another trick is to cover the outside of the lighter with a section of bicycle innertube. Find an old innertube that will fit snuggly around the outside of the lighter. It seals the lighter, so the fluid cannot evaporate. Just roll it down to open the lighter and use it.

Helo i cant wait till my zippo arrives

Does the shorter wick trick help reduce evaporation when you are not using the Zippo? Alsi what do you think about using teflon tape instead of the bag trick?

Does shorter wick affect the ignition process? Will I need to strike it more times? Isn't it going to behave worse in windy weather? If you know any guitar players ask them for empty packiging from strings. It's basicly a thin aluminium foil (I think). It's indestructible and hold the insert perfectly. Worked better for me than the bag. Please make a video about flints and how often it's really necesarry to change them. Thanks!

@Zippo Fantatic 77 From your vids it seems that you`re able to hold more fuel with Cotton Bacon, which will of course last longer. My question is, if you put in the same amount of fuel, as you would with the rayon, does it still last longer?

I see you trying to get a full workshop also nice comment to view ratio all of your viewers are dedicated good job building the zippo community

I got the same playground chip! Most likely I’ve seen u around

Hey Zippo Fanatic great vid. Repacked one of my Father's old Zippos with Cotton Bacon Prime. Need to get more fluid and see how she does. Question: I have a Zippo with the name "Ray S. Koltz" engraved on it. Any idea who this is or was. I've done some searching and no luck. Also the top of the Zippo came off. Everything still there. No dents, kinks or other signs of abuse other than excessive wearing of the finish. The brushed finish is 70% intact with brass showing big time. Any advice on how to reattach top? Greatly appreciated. Liked and subbed.

If you want to save a lot of money here is a tipp: In Germany we have something called Barber Cotton. It is much cheaper 1kg is ca. 15€ its a huge bag and it comes in a very long strip which is very easy to use. It works as good as the expensive Cotton Bacon

I'm on my journey to a free sticker...

I live in canada so the bag trick should help thanks

What you said about all vaping cotton being the same, have you tried a brand called firebolt? None of my local vape shops have cotton bacon, but one of them has a brand called firebolt

do you have to replace cotton bacon? The original zippo cotton never has to be replaced but whenever I read about cotton bacon it seems to be for vapers who constantly have to change it out.

What’s the cotton called? The one that will improve fuel efficiency? Also will it work in areas near the equator?

im gonna try the cotton trick when i can get to town. ps ZLM

Organic cotton will do, any cotton used for vape works to compared to ordinary cotton balls

I’m insure if this’ll be answered but will the zippo fluid go through the plastic? Like burn some kind of hole

I need that awesome sticker… but I’m in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

I'm living vicariously through you.. I'm afraid to damage mine

Quick question: is the "Cotton Baccon", and Egyptian Cotton?

Hello Papi, your tips for fluid longevity work so well. The bag trick is my personal favourite. I'm glad to have a big burly man like you with so much knowledge about Zippos in my life. 😘XOXOXO😘

Hay zippo from school

Hey! As a minor with a zippo I like to take care of it, but having cotton only reserved to people who are 21 or older I cant buy this "highly absorbent cotton" everyone's talking about. Do you think dental cotton would work? Maybe even better possibly?

What do you think about the rubbers what you can buy on aliexpress this onec what you set on the botom on insert i orderit them and what but meaby you alsow try yhem

I know people use 3rd party cotton like Cotton Bakon. But are there better 3rd party wicks than the Zippo brand?

👍❤️👍❤️

Sir, I reeeally dig your Jessica Rabbit custom, how would I obtain this??

What type of tool do you use to cut the wick with, when you shorten it. Thanks

I need to get me a new one

Isnt it just smarter to use bezene? I use it instead of zippo fleuit cause its way cheaper, like 1.85 euro per liter. Plus it works the same asin same smell and flame.

Can i use Kendo cotton instead of cotton Bacon? I have a bag f Kendo that I have left since I tried (unsuccessfully) to switch from regular to electronic cigarettes, and now I don't know what to do with it ...

would organic cotton pad do?

Tribal wicks another good brand if you can't find bacon at your locals

I want to buy cotton bacon but which one which one do you recommend the bacon prime or the V2

The TBT

I do that with my zippos normally , the wick I mean

Trying to learn to juggle.

Can u use normal cotton balls from like target or something on ur zippo

Hi Mike how are you doing ???

Yeah, with 2.5 ML of fluid, and the bag hack only i have 3 days. 30 °c - 34 °c

keep up working on your sound quality.

Its a average size flame

Naptha fluid only 8 dollars a Quart uS, it lasts longer

Do you possibly want some tobbaco seed

Email sent good Sir
