How To Make a Shorty Zippo Lighter

[nigbitcch]

They're small enough. What's another centimeter or two gonna do?

[ZutiGufu]

1:50 Poker Face.

[RussianAmericanArms]

So you made a Zippo that will run out of fuel quicker... cool?

[lolley1100]

Vietnam tradition...

[lolley1100]

Beautiful song...

[astro1220]

I want to see someone make a shorty out of a zippo slim :)

[lolley1100]

@astro1220 I KNOW!!!...That would be amazing...

[STREETRAT211]

how did rou reattach the hinge?

[1234Guitarman1234]

@STREETRAT211 shoo goo, glue....



[wouternet94]

Everybody needs to shut the fuck up and grow some balls. There are 140million Zippos out there, and if you cry because of 1 being modded (I think it's great) need to buy one first, because you clearly want one. Maybe your momma doesn't let you buy one?

[fifemaster100]

@wouternet94 its not like they stopped making zippos or anything either

[Zippo101nZippoTricks]

Why do this with a genuine Zippo? Id use a knockoff or even a fake. why would you even want a shorter zippo? regular sized are small enough and the slim is even smaller. This was a waste of time.

[badcoairsoft11]

2:00 kinda looks like l:

[ar4nd0masain]

How did u get the hinge off the bottom part of the zippo case

[renzo260]

In the Virtnam war, they actually made their own 'shorties'...

[renzo260]

why not just take a zippo slim lighter...?

[143yamaha]

@renzo260 cuz thats slim on the wrong aspect

[808CraftsmanCo]

Jeez people how many silver zippos have you seen in the world? I can tell you there is no shortage of them anytime soon, so stop whining and enjoy the video.

[GameFreaks24]

D;

[MrTazrush]

All the comments saying people waste the time messing up lighters are all wasting their time looking for videos on how to mess them up.....

[MrLazyboy4200]

oh god why why he was so young why him why not the idot who made this video why!!!!

[maxo3142]

hahahaa the video is 4:20 long (:

[miketallica665]

Why in fuck's sake would you hack up a zippo?

[wax147]

@miketallica665 cuz it looks kewl

[MADmonkeyMAN999]

this vid suks it needs comintary



[jackfrost1027]

wow did you cut that with a fuckin hacksaw!!! i could do better with a damn hatchet.

[TyroneDbrickashaw]

how is he ruining it?

he used one of the shitty $10 ones and plus the thing still works. I think it's pretty cool.

[DrinkThunderbird]

Wow. A regular Zippo feels too small in my hand. Why would you want to chop one? Are you a Munchkin?

[clubpenguindotcom876]

what is this song and all your doing is fucking up a perfectly good zippo u should give it to me to put in my collection ass hole

[Circuslion101]

All that and its like 1" shorter

[AchivableRogue]

I wonder if this voids the warranty...

[ekhoren]

you could better give the zippo to one of us

[pinkdud3]

1:09 uneven cut. douche bag. Also 2:07, you just keep fucking up don't you?

[almondavid]

@pinkdud3 If you notice, he finishes it smoothly at the end. it all fits , doesnt it?

[RPGrimreaper]

they used these in Vietnam. very collectible.

[ricglos]

seems like a waste of time and effort, unless you are saving space in an emergency survival kit!

[theTicklemehellmo]

@ricglos even if you were putting a lighter in a survival kit, the zippo is a very poor choice. don't get me wrong i love them, but the fluid evaporates inside your kit, and if you carry your lighter fluid separately, that just becomes extra weight and bulk.

I have a Solo Storm lighter in my kit.

has a Jet flame, piezoelectric ignition, uses butane fuel,and is very reliable

[zippomustang05]

now i crying ( ' ',)

[ZippoVarga]

Dudes.......Chill on the destructive issue. He used the most common and least desirable Zippo out there. I've been a collector and appraiser for all types of lighters and I have dealt with people all over the world. Did you know that some of the MOST SOUGHT AFTER Zippos are those that are customized by their owners? It's called trench art. For those of you that are unfamiliar with that term....look it up.

Great job on the modification. You've increased the value x2 with your alteration.

[zipposNstuff]

do any of you understand how common a normal chrome zippo like this is??? zippo mfg co. reached there 400 millionth zippo a couple years back. so stop Bitching about this guy using one. i for one think its pretty cool and will try it my self.

heres a quick tip to those who feel they're "waisting" one. pick up a fake zippo for like 5 bucks and try this out.

[openarms332]

why would you want to lessin the value of a zippo?

[hopecamel]

cool vid man i dont think u ruined a zippo as apposed to making one kick ass zippo

[TheDittyBags]

Who in there right mind would waste time ruining a zippo...

[bravoalphabravo01]

i can understand why people woud dislike this video.

[killzone100100]

Why does every one care what he does with his $2.00 lighter? You guys sound like his mother.

[MrMattCombs]

@killzone100100 zippos are really like 20dollars but i agree with you

[wwwdotsvmsadotcom]

roflmao fucker cant even cut straight!!

[morganseer]

I'm guessing you're a lightweight backpacker. That's the only reason I can see for cutting down a perfectly good Zippo.

[DiesesedCow]

i mean, why?

[jsimon526]

What the hell is that amazing song?! I like it. Nice vid too LOL.

[rewardboy1]

i like it cool vid

[proazazel]

0:45 - i'd started to cry....

[ashold1234]

@proazazel me to...

[savageboy1000]

u can better use fake zippo's

[readme60]

Nice, they used these "shorty" Zippos in Nam.

[jw2327]

@readme60 why?

[readme60]

@jw2327 well, probably to light their cigarettes since being in the line of fire is pretty stressful.

[M4ST3RL1NKX88]

Fun sized Zippo!

[TarksTV]

miget zippo

[endlessiphone239]

Do that to a slim zippo ; )

[hellomrjunk]

How dare you destroy a perfectly good zippo!

[MrSkullcandiie]

WHAT DID THE ZIPPO DO TO YOU!!!!!

[blabla2132]

oh you are makeing it so that you get a shorter bern

[thatsoccerfan1]

Fake zippo. The M needs to be to the far left.

[Super12strings]

its like. . . making a unicorn into a pony unicorn. . . still cool, but a regular zippo is cooler.

[Flyfishingfan4live]

VERGEWALTIGEUNG!!! SOWAS DARF MAN NICH MIT NEM ZIPPO MACHEN !!

[TheDaneTuts]

To everyone that doesn't get why you would do this: The soldiers in Vietnam did this, why I don't know perhaps it fitted right inside a special pocket this way.

[msbj10]

its not fake the 2000 zippos are like that

[Idiotology101]

since when do zippos come in a package like that?

[E3BlSH0P]

because most people have a power saw and a power sander at home

[ggrriissoomm]

Why don't you just buy a short lighter???

[chunkeymonkey007]

it's a fake also

[mashimo712]

2 words. ZIPPO SLIM

[7fulgore7]

MURDERER!

[ils360]

@7fulgore7 The soldiers in Vietnam did this, why I don't know perhaps it fitted right inside a special pocket this way.

[MrPlaystationboy]

this is a fake zippo 1 the packeging 2 there is 6 rayon balls instedd of 5 and the felt pad does not say lift to fill

[mjndblain]

@MrPlaystationboy the packaging used to come liek that in 2000 in some general stores and they started to use 5 cus it was less money

[zackathishouse]

That was pretty cool

[charliX666X]

i dont get why you would want to do this but okay....

[watchnovru]

now, take the spare parts and build another zippo.

[1994DEVIN2007]

witty slideshow fail.

[fudgenipples38]

its small enough already

[ishouldplayzelda]

that's kinda neat but what's the point? it's not small enough already? btw that was a really cool song.

[Psych02K]

Why?

[ils360]

@Psych02K The soldiers in Vietnam did this, why I don't know perhaps it fitted right inside a special pocket this way.  he wanted to make a rep

[yovlad12]

[hopecamel]

[mjndblain]

[priyahthewhite]

[DeathMasterAn]

[Wooz57]

[ekhoren]

hoe maak je een zippo kapot kijk hier boven je ziet het zo

[0lecm0g]

Do this with a Zippo Slim XD

[chappythe3rd]

[ugoslow]

I think you may have voided your warranty :D

[beep388]

hinges on the mini zippos are really crap so make it smaller is good :)

[BEZIK2K9]

song?

[KamiNoKeiko]

The Master of the drunken Saw , nice cutting Skills xD

[adidasbooi]

lol whats the point? :S

[InsanePeoplePosse]

he obvosly nos wat hes dooin but y ruin a nice zippo

[MrItalyguy]

theres one for 45 dollars its under jumbo table lighter on ebay

[tangapirat]

hahahahhaahh its sooo funny!!!

[scruffyrunkin]

all these assholes asking why do that that to a zippo?? because it's there and it can be done!! thats why!!..... row your boats merrily down the stream you party poopers

[AmebaToast]

Why is this good? Cos Zippo tricks are harder to do with it? Cos it runs out of fluid faster? Why?! Having a small looking zippo isn't worth it, since you have less fluid in it, and the tricks are harder to do with it... And you can say good bye to the warranty also..

[tyga42]

make sure to hard bake the apoxy resin and reduce the wick to around 2/3 the size it was.. :D

[iheervoyses]

Seriously??? Why???

[dougodistructo911]

sweet!

i want 1 haha

refeul it every 10 mins XD

[theonethebeast]

How do you hold the hinge in?

[fuckiraq12]

why in the world would you ruin a zippo??

[airsoftguy85rocks]

@fuckiraq12

you can get a "zippo" lighter that is made by the chinese at dealextreme for about 5 bucks

[hockeyplaya131]

@airsoftguy85rocks But it's still not a zippo.

[shefakeditXD]

@fuckiraq12 they were used in Vietnam, the lighter ur gear was the easier u could move

[bunit1001]

what is the song

[MEEPMEEP9999]

Look at The info

[ei8htball13]

It's cool to see but why would you ever ruin a zippo

[supermoocow2]

so wut ur saying is take a perfectly good zippo and rape it of its awesomeness.......

[fighterfat11]

i think it makes it better because of the look. I wish zippo made these

[matandclo123]

what size is the tap for the flint tube?

[Isakceim]

come on cut straight dude

[zknn93]

This is "How to kill a zippo"

[tyga42]

@zknn93 or how to make the lower casing only 20mm

[1matt1025]

How did you put the hinge back on the bottom

[HELLPINAVENGER]

@1matt1025 i think he paste it withthe shoe goo

...

[chce999]

[loku1125]

thats gay now its smaller and holds less fuel ya cause i always want to carry a container of fuel with me everywhere

[TheAjkool]

cant you just buy one

[chazzerchazic]

maybe the reasons he did this is coz the us army had small ones like that vietnam they were called shorties

[path1963]

And this is useful for????

[stealthbeast]

.. being smaller?

[powelltonredneck]

ANY Zippo pocket lighter, when returned to our factory, will be put in first-class mechanical condition free of charge, for we have yet to charge a cent for the repair of a Zippo pocket lighter, REGARDLESS of age OR CONDITION. The finish, however, is not guaranteed.

This guarantee gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary state to state or country to country. Other Zippo products carry their own specific warranties.

[gowk0]

@powelltonredneck your point is?

[powelltonredneck]

Guys if any of you were zippo collectors at all you would stop whining and know that the warranty is not void. What they would do is send you a new zippo. They would send the other back too at your requst.

The warranty is as follows:

[busyhands94]

nice idea, reduced weight and it looks just plain cute if you were to do that to a zippo slim :)

[donteatchocolate]

thats cool. im gonna give it a go,

[Rubik456]

you just took apart a zippo lighter and put it back 2gether

n00b

[MattG196]

why would anyone want this its stupid

[therocket88]

u can buy the slim version of zippo :)

[joshwill4]

DUMB... DONT DO THIS!!!!!!!!

[brotherofsteel100]

this may sound really stupid but....why?

[Untracable315]

Pointless u can just buy one I have a short one and it is gay my hands are to big

[myxguitars]

Just don't do it to a "Made in Canada" Zippo as they are getting rarer everyday.

There are also a couple of close copies made that you could do this to, but Why Not a Zippo---there are millions? out there

[pewster31]

All of my (3) zippos look almost the same accept the right hand side with 200 XVE mine says 08. They are real, but i wouldn't do this cause i bet the fluid doesn't last long. Probably runs out right quick. Although it is a cool and very unique idea, Might buy one for collections sake.

[anderskrong]

that zippo is fake sorry

[Mooohrhuhn]

and why it's a fake?

[rockpetrad]

the markings on the bottom don't look right

[joshwill4]

@rockpetrad thats what i thought

[lolymiles]

no dude lots of peeps make thos

[tinyjoker666]

True. the markings on the bottom totally give it away.

[FISHURMOMBALL]

that is a horrid song

[FunkyFooNikkel]

What, FISHURMOMBALL, the tea party don't have a strong following in Singapore? I suppose there would be some cultural dissonance. I doubt anyone from Windsor, Ontario is humming "Stand up for Singapore".

[FISHURMOMBALL]

im sorry. its just my opinion. no need to get angry

[MadnessIsMySpecial]

How do you put the lid and the bottom together?

VERY cool idea.

[splasz]

i think glue because of the last picture ?!

[newFaction64]

Wow to the comments. You do this BECAUSE YOU CAN and because Zippos are awesome.

[videoGunZ]

good work guy! really cool :)

[FISHURMOMBALL]

why would you want to do that

[MortalKiller2006]

the fluid wont last a day with that size

[lilham10809]

lol the time for the video is 4:20

[gdsantoso]

i want have one..

[pbace440]

every one asking why you would do this, its a zippo collecter thing ,if you know alot about zippos they did this in veitnam so if your aserious zippo collector you would liketo add one to your collection! its not dumb at all and it wont void the warrinty at all!

[DrummerBoyZack]

how does that not void the warrenty?

[187chona]

just tell zippo u washed ur lighter and it shrunk

[joe5100]

thats pritty gay

[DylanAndersen]

only zippo i would cut up is a zippo blu

[fluffy2700]

the cool part is that dosnt even void the warrenty

[DeanLyman]

cool. only bad thing is that it wont hold a much fluid

[theDenmarkshow]

Why would someone do this?

[defin222]

why the fuck would you do this

[luckynumber58]

send it back and see what they do :P just to settle this little dispute. it would be awesome if they didnt even notice

[jessekarate08]

haha shoe goo i use that to make guillie suits

[snackeye12]

haha i use that when my shoe rips

[tdog501st]

thats a waste

[wackedout991]

why do this now if it breaks and you cannot fix it your screwed zippo wont cover moded lighters

[tippmannc3]

send it back and get a new one

[wackedout991]

They wont take that. Are you kidding me. So if i cut my zippo up they will know that i did that and they will not replace it.

[tippmannc3]

2 things #1 calm down it was a joke and #2 dude as a test i cut mine in two last year sent it back and thay sent me a new one :P

[wackedout991]

so #1 it was not a joke. and #2 that is not covered by their warranty unless they they where stupid enough to think that a random saw fell on it cutting it in half making it a accident.

[tippmannc3]

i will say it one more time i cut mine in two sent it to bradford and thay sent me a new one:P

[luni003]

Hey was kidding u idiot
