I agree it is about fire, as he said. I own three Zippos and I don't even smoke.

I don't smoke, but I carry a zippo with me because I really enjoy having one

My grandfather gave one of his to me 2 years ago (he died last year god bless his soul) that he had during WW2 and I carry it everywhere with me... It still runs until this day so I can vouch that this is the greatest lighter ever made. It's one of the greatest reminders of my grandfather I have and hopefully it will be there to pass to my grandchildren.

I got sick of buying lighters every 3 weeks so i just bought a zippo and i have no regrets

3:47 the sound he makes with his mouth sounds like when you light a Zippo... Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

I’m an Aussie. I bought my first Zippo 30 years ago. I now own about 20. In all that time only one has broken, but I’ve had plenty stolen off me. They’re beautiful pieces of engineering and art. Love my Zippo, best lighter in the world, bar none.

i thout that the story was about a lighter that LITERALLY had its flame on for 82 years lmao

I don't smoke but I support by buying I new zippo every 3 weeks

zippo is not just a simple lighter anymore, it's a history, its a legend, and its become an icon

Zippo definitely is a fashion statement but most of us don't smoke, how about making a "101 Uses for a Zippo Lighter" video cause we need a REASON for collecting them so we appear somewhat sane:) You gave some good uses here, but I'm sure there's more, here's some; in a backpack, in a daybag, in a purse/truck/motorcycle/shop, light a wood stove/gas water heater, as a hand warmer, melt plastic cord ends, use as a stove to heat water for tea/breakfast cereal in a metal mug, light your way in the dark, use at concerts, light a gas/propane camp stove etc. All the best.

this lighter is in almost every motion picture where a character either lights up a smoke or lights up a line of fuel heading towards the bad guys car/plane/motor bike and so on plus it shows up in computer games i wonder if zippo pays for product placement or film companies choose the zippo simply because it is more pleasing to the eye and makes that distinct click when opened either way it has been deemed cool and a american icon /classic even though it is easy to purchase 1 of them plastic bic lighters it is nowhere near as classy as poping out a zippo

I own and carry a zippo and i dont smoke i just love them

They are a damn good lighter and extremely reliable. Only thing i dont like about them (and this goes with alot of liquid fuel lighters) is that they dry out so you always have to refill them, putting that aside, you will have a lighter that will last forever.

My brother gave me a zippo with my name on it as a gift when I was fifteen. it's one of my most prized possessions and is carry it till the day I die.

That one who disliked this vid is a pyrophobic.

Massive respect for everyone involved in making this incredible product. I feel proud to pull out a zippo. It's craftsmanship... and you can't improve on perfection...it just works...each and every time. When a product has the same components for 82 years without change... you know it is a flawless design.

I dont think they have to worry about people quitting smoking because of the legalization of weed across the country

Im from Sonora, Mexico, i buy a zippo in 2008 in sanborns and today i use the same zippo, that things works forever...

I’m 30 and I just ordered my first zippo. So their marketing is working on their targeted demographic. The zippo I ordered is plain and simple. It already looks old even though it’s brand new and that’s what I like about it. I also like how it’s such a high quality product and it has a lifetime warranty and it’s made in the USA.

It would be very awesome if on the 100th Birthday they picked a specific time around the globe where everyone goes outside and lights their Zippo for 60 seconds. Not only would it look awesome, it would generate a lot of media and I think a TON of sales. If that was a thing that I found out was happening and I didn't already have a few Zippos I would definitely go out and buy one so that I could take apart of a once in a lifetime event. 100 years, over 1,000,000,000 flames, all at once, multiple generations of designs and users. I should have majored in advertising.

Zippo is probably the greatest "Survival Tool" to every Hunter and outdoor enthusiast out here..... that spark from the flint has lit many of fires in the back country and saved many lives for doing so........... That Lighter has Sat in the War trenches with many a Soldier and still does....... Mine has ben part of my life for over 50 yrs and holds alot of memories and secrets we share between us !!!!

I was born in the 60"s and remember my father carrying a Zippo lighter every day to light up his cigs. I just purchased my first Zippo three days ago and I really am enjoying listening to the click of the lid that i remember from my childhood.

was i the only one blown away by the sheer number of lighters they manufacture per month?!

Great company.

I don't smoke never did and my father same as me. But we have about 20 zippo. I just love the sound and the look and to carry them around

Of ALL of the devices I have ever owned for the past 50 years, The Zippo lighter is the ONE constant. The "UI/UX" of a Zippo has been the ONLY on that has NOT changed. And that's a good thing. Having a Pall Mall sparked by a Zippo right now!

I do not smoke, i have about half a dozen different Zippos

"we will never ever ever build a zippo lighter outside of this community, i'll have the company go out of business before that would ever happen" boy, sure is nice to hear something like that these days.

I am so proud of you keeping your father's tradition and I got three of your best lighters.

Love how reliable and quality the Zippo lighters are, American made

i have an authentic canadian made zippo. they made them here too from 48 to 02 if im not mistaken. if you have one made in Niaga Ontario hold on to it. im pretty sure eventually these will be rare

I’ve always loved Zippos. Before I even knew the name, I knew I wanted one. I think I got my first one at 9y/o, and now I think I have 40 plus. I’ve been carrying them daily for most of my life.

Thank you very much for the video.

I love my Zippos !!!! If this great American company can still do this made in USA then why cant others???

I agreed!! Zippo is not just for smokes anymore, Thumbs up!

before I went to nam my gramps caught me smoking with an imco and slapped it out of my hand and gave me his zippo and stated that this was the better option. used it in the trenches in ww2 and had a picture of him lighting a ciggarette with it. ever since he passed away in 86 I carried it with me. Gave it to my son before he served in iraq and was killed on duty. zippo is the only lighter I will ever use.

I have the Wolf in Black Ice and the 1941 replica in Black Crackle :)

What he just said about having the company go out of business before he sees Zippo being made outside of Bradford. Man, that makes me so proud to be a first time buyer as of today

I love the zippo brand its been in my family for decades and decades My grandfather had some then my mom and pop and now i do theres just something about them you can't go wrong with i mean this is a piece of American history thats been going strong for almost 90 years with a lifetime warranty still standing to this day it works or we fix it for free no other company can beat that. Godbless George Blaisdell for creating such a wonderful reminder of good old America.

Zippos make great hadwarmers in a pinch. I love Zippo Lighters so much.

I have about a dozen Zippo lighters. They're cool, charming, and evoke heroes, villians, rebels, tough guys, and they're often used to start a fire and kill bad guys in movies. The hero nor villian never sets gasoline on fire with a Bic lighter. Even the sound of a Zippo sounds cool and masculine as you flick it open, light it, and snap it shut.

I'm a Scout. The Zippo always comes with me. If I only had two thing to survive I'd take a zippo and an Esee6

I thought there was a Zippo which has been burning for 82 years straight.... derp

Always wanted a Zippo since I was a child, owned a few in my day but I'll ask please bring back the old school thick hinge with the big boy pin, these modern ones are looking like everything these days shaved down. Robust Armour 169 but to get one brand new that flops around was heart breaking. ✌️🇳🇿

Just found a Marlboro Brass No.6 at an antique shop Im gonna replace the wick. Thank you Mr.Zippo for fine craftsmanship!

It is well used and very durable from Thailand.👍

I bought a zippo and use it all the time for everything I do. I like them because they are durable, refillable, and fixable, unlike the cheap plastic butane lighters that most people use today.

I bought a non smoker friend one as a Christmas present. He just loves lighters. And Zippo are among the very best.

I'm not a smoker at all but the older I get the more I enjoy little relevant bits of my past like a Zippo (bought one last year for the first time), above all when the company has such great values in particular producing in the place they have always been. I now have a Zippo and a collection of Opinel knives, created in my land of Savoy and still produced entirely there (like Zippo dies). I would go visit the Zippo museum in Bradford if I were not living in another continent. Long live king Zippo!

i love how extremely reliable these lighters are

I have 5 and I love each and every one of them. They are just gorgeous and quality was very well maintained over time.

My buddies and I don't smoke but we have kept our Zippos on us since we were teenagers for every camping trip.

I am not sure if this is ok, but I had the same "theoretical" Zippo for over 30 years I think. It's not the same Zippo I started with. Over time, I cannibalized other Zippos to repair mine. I never fully switched it. I switched the cover, the core, the flint, the wick, the cotton balls, the fuel. I don't have anything from the original, but the thought. I lost my wallet, keys and phone more than 10 times combined. But not once in my 50 years of life did I loose my Zippo. And I feel it is true. You don't need to smoke to carry a Zippo. Man made fire. Man carries fire with him. Much love from Romania.

I just came across a Zippo I had from 17 years ago. Don't smoke anymore so it got pointless filling it up every couple of week. I reckon I will get a new one now that they are starting to do the butane inserts. Can just gas it up and have that lying around and occasionally use it for normal things.

Love my zippo and I would love to start a collection.

I want a brass Zippo so bad!

I switched to a butane insert, but I still have my original from college.

I am not a smoker, but I have owned at least 3 of them. Mainly as a collectors item, but it comes useful when having a bonfire and lighting other things.

With zippo lighters, I bet you'll think you need more than just one. I have 3. Street Chrome., brushed brass and a power button. I keep all three fueled and ready. My power button has a zippo pipe insert. I don't smoke but just love these lighters. My street Chrome goes everywhere I do. I'm thinking of getting a couple butane inserts just because, but really like the zippo in original form burning zippo lighter fluid

Love zippos dont smoke cigarettes anymore and i use a jet for cigars but i always carry one from my collection because they are so useful when you need a flame

I got a Zippo Marlboro in the box. Whats more iconic than that? I'll keep it forever.

I'm Japanese but i didn't know Japan was the largest market 10 years ago, I love Zippo.

Great! a real American made brand.

I bought a Zippo lighter today. Black Ice design. Pulled it out of the box only to find out that it was made 4 years ago and sat unsold in the store for that long (July 2015 date stamp). I never plan to smoke, but as he said in the video, it's useful as a firestarter for many things other than smoking.

I

i have 3 zippos,one Zippo Blu,one Zippo for pipe and one replica of a 1941 Zippo.I love it since i was a student and i am gonna buy more.Its by far,the most reliable little thing money can buy.

The main reason why i don't use zippo a lot is cuz they don't light when you buy them. You need to purchase fluid. A lotta times when you need a lighter you want one that works out of the box so you can light whatever it is you need to light. I'm surprised they aren't sold with the lighter fluid already in them like all other lighters. Or at least like a tiny bottle of fluid sold with it in the same package. I"m sure there's a reason tho.

My Zippos aren't closet/display queens. I light them all up. The way they've been intended to be. Almost using them to punishing levels and never ever had to have any one of them serviced in the Zippo Clinic. You just have to love these little tanks. Impressive to say the least. Then add the heritage and the epic history of the company. You got a bomb of a combination.

I love Zippo lighters have used them for forty years the only problem I have with them is periodically I lose the current one that I use on a daily basis but I always have a few spares

So glad to see that there is still American companies that manufacture their products in the United States and made by American workers with American standards of quality on making the products... instead of just making it an American brand but it's made elsewhere great job Zippo!! Wish more companies would follow the footsteps of zippo especially Apple and their china made iphones!

I'm 23 years old, I do smoke Marlboro black menthols, but I owned zippos before I started smoking, and if I quit I'll still own Zippos. It's just a damn good lighter, and if someone ever asks for a light it doesn't get cooler than pulling out a zippo. I carry a Bic and a Zippo for those times when my Zippo is dry. It is amazing to me to sit here in South Carolina and think that an American company makes a very large percentage of it's sales exporting product to China.

I opened and closed my zippo all throughout this video

I love my Zippos, I lite my cigars with the torch insert . I carry one with me always. My old, my new, my custom lighter. Zippo just says class.

i want to get a zippo lighter that looks like an arny gas can to put on the back of my scx10

As a country boy we love them the click it just perfect

Yo tengo encendedores zippo desde los 10 años. Mi primer zippo es un clasic crome brushed de harley davidson del año 2000

They're an icon, like the Swiss Army knife, or the Leatherman multi tools. Just have to have one.

Listening to the consumer is One Of Zippos strengths As a icon. I'm not a smoker but always have a Zippo On hand.eaven in OZ I am effected by a bullet proof design and company

I don't smoke but I love zippos, hate that the fuel dries so quickly but other than that it's cool.

i don’t smoke but i have a zippo collection with about 10 zippos. they just make you happy there’s nothing else that can describe it for me

it works. unlike all the other butane including super expensive cigar lighters. hate the taste but gonna try the non evaporative fuel an see if it tastes better. i watched a video by zippo on how to replace or pull up the Wick an according to where theu say my wick should be the zippo lighter came from the factory with the Wick just smashed in there an not in an S shape amongsts the cottons an the wick seemed too short for that as well. but its still working a month later an that means it'll keep working.

I have a collection of 9 zippo lighters. I don't smoke and have no interest in smoking in my lifetime. I like zippo lighters because they are the original windproof lighter, it went to WW2, Vietnam, it has been made in America for the past 88 years. My grandfather had a zippo when he smoked cigars. His lighter was passed down to me and I will pass it down to my kids one day. All Hail zippo

Been collecting Zippos and knives since I was able to get my hands on one ☝🏽. I get like 2 a year now.

Awesome 😍 😍👍👍

I use one and another 20plus is for collection.

I LOVE Zippos just because they’re fuckin cool and retro and reliable! And I love how Quentin Tarantino’s characters use them like the resivoir dogs and Vincent Vega from pulp fiction! It makes me want a zippo even more haha. I just ordered my first zippo today

I like Zippo lighters especially the roll arena one

I want an original 1933 Zippo!

Where can i get some of these dope designs?

my father had that zippo ( 3:37 ) for 10 years, he gave it to me yesterday.

Sitting in the hot seat. What brave warriors.

2:13 You'll NEVER hear that anywhere else! Excuse me, I gotta go buy ANOTHER Zippo now!

Thanks to Austria's lighter design that didn't have the hinge, that our Zippos were made. God bless.

I do smoke with it and gotta say best lighter for that

I've never smoked but own 5 here in Australia. I remember being fascinated by them as a kid and still love the look, sound, smell and feel of a Zippo.

🔥🔥🔥🙋‍♂️

LoL … my 1st use of Zippo was in Resident Evil 2 , to light the Fire place to get the Gem … 😂

I won't light my cigar ,only with a Zippo!

A Zippo is a very reliable tool. Simple as that.

I smoke so I need a Zippo, but it also comes in handy for other things I'm below the age of 22 and I truly believe everyone should have a Zippo or at least some kind of lighter ya never know when ya might need one
