Zippo: Subscriber Request/ Fixing Zippo Blu Problems

[MATAtheFIRST]

My zippo blu keeps burning a few seconds after I release the button, any suggestions?

[Speedogg138]

@MATAtheFIRST How long after? Most burn for a second or 2 after as the spring pushes the fuel lever back up.

[MATAtheFIRST]

@Speedogg138 yeah, it's about 2 seconds, so it's normal then?

I noticed yours went out immediatley though

[Speedogg138]

@Speedogg138 Yes, normal. Mine sometimes does the same thing when the spring is cold or too hat etc.

Not sure criticism is warrant for 'banishment.' There's loads of problems with the blu you dont r

[Speedogg138]

@apoisonoussymphony I'm all for criticism, but being a jackass about it is not something I'll have on my channel. 

[apoisonoussymphony]

Hi Speedogg138 I am a fellow zippo collector and was wondering if you could make another unboxing video for the zippo: 24330 Hazardous maybe do a review of it because i am wanting to buy this zippo. Thanks your fellow subscriber the Unboxer15

[poopawaz]

im buying my first zippo, im buying it for $22 of amazon, should i buy it or a different one?

[Speedogg138]

@poopawaz ...I don't know which one you are getting...:P

[barreltrollololol]

For people that don't know this and complain that it doesn't light properly. You're suppose to hold down the flint wheel for 2 seconds for the gas to collect/build up, then you strike.

[Speedogg138]

@barreltrollololol True, but in their defense, that even didn't work a lot of the time. :)

[Speedogg138]

@jasonkim11 You paid $120!? Outside of the US I'd assume? Aslo, in the US it costs $5 to send it back Priority Mail. As for your issue, did you use up your flint? I'd check and see. Make sure you are looking at the FLINT and not the FOLLOWER.

@Speedogg138 or it could be the rivet cause somethimes they are a bit tight and you just loosen up the sides of the flint wheel with a knife

I just bought the zippo blu vertical chrome and i whant to know if anyone knows if it is going to be 2 gen or do you have to buy zippo blu blue2

[Speedogg138]

@ripper11772 I have the Bul2 which is the model name. Blu2 because it is a Blue Blu. As for Generation 2, the only way to tell will be if it works or not. :) (I believe they updated the innards some time in 08)

[August8800]

Did you just send it in, without there was any problem with it?, and do you know how i can see if i have a 2. gen?

Thanks

[47guss]

hey, when did they come out with the 2nd generation inserts. im gunna buy a zippo blu and i wanna make sure its a 2nd generation. im looking for like a date if possible. thanks.

[gumdrops27]

What kind of fuel did you use? And is the 2nd gen more windproof? How long did it take for them to send you a new one? Lol sry for all the questions.

[Speedogg138]

@gumdrops27 Actual Zippo Blu fuel, no, they both are not as windproof as the wick lighters, but they get the job done usually, and it tool less than 1 week to have them send it back.

[WilliamPereiraTerra]

Thanks :D If you put the name of the lighter on tittle or description is more easily for people find it, beyond the tags of curse :)
