Although, if you use them a lot (like, a couple packs a day βa lotβ), you get good at filling them the right amount, and itβs just something you do.
Zippos are pretty fantastic for cigarette smokers. Theyβre horrible for someone who just want to carry fire around in their pocket βjust in case.β
Back when I was smoking I got a Zippo because it was cool. Refilling fuel and replacing flints got old, but the taste of gas in your mouth was just the worst.
Every weed smoker had a zippo they didnβt use because it tasted so bad. Theyβre fidget toys more than anything. And the βwindproofβ feature doesnβt work all that well compared to a bic lighter. Who cares if it keeps a tiny flame alive if itβs not going to ignite anything else. You have to shelter it anyway.
