[NonConformist0130]

[NonConformist0130]

i accidentally overfilled it and it lit my hand on fire hurt like hell thanks 4 the tip

[lincolnstriker14]

very helpful video :) deffinitly subbing you sir :D

[Trotters80]

Nice video, really helpful. How long approx should lighter fuel last? I smoke about 8 or 9 a day & I have to refill my zippo approx every 2 weeks. Is this normal? If not what is?. I do exactly as this video shows, I dont overfill so it leaks I just put fuel in until you can see it soaked in. Thanks

[Christhegenius1]

Thank you for the video dude totally helped.

[Winning8D]

I smoke pot on my 8 perc ice catcher bong and when i saw this video i ran to a smoke shop got me an awesome zippo and i use it all the time and to be honest a zippo last me more times without refilling it then just having to buy a new lighter every time. and also zippos look awesome >B]

[BIOSHOCKisFUN]

this video is rather useful for those who didn't know zippos dont come with fluid in the lighter, like myself...

[HeWhoIsBrave]

I really wish I watched this video before filling my zippo for the first time, because my hands got absolutely soaked in lighter fluid. (it was a disaster)

[XxWoRkDoNeSoNxX]

you can adjust the flame by pulling the wick out more too

[ThePadfam]

i found softtailpete's comment but it turns out he deleted it :(

[kessan0]

great vid

[ItsBuckful]

Just ordered a limited edition mahogany zippo, cant wait.

[stiskavac]

smoke or not. having a zippo is awesome! ;)

[kingstasi99]

great video, and i have the same lighter you used in the video.

[Bangladesh321]

thanx man

[TheTurdnuggetww2]

ive been a collecter for almost a year now and ur vids helped me through collecting thnx for all the help

[hitachi088]

is all zippo that loose (insert)? cause back in the 90's i had one, and it was quite difficult to remove.

[convoku]

i must be retarded or greasyhanded because i cant pull the damn thing out of the case

[tpen29]

Nice

[butthead542]

Thanks for the help

[dg14813]

Your videos are very helpful, just got a zippo I was wondering about the maintenance.

[pastyboy15]

the cam was used as a lock when pushed up for (dun dun dunnnn) actions where they throw the lighter. that sort of thing

[farcasbogdan]

ha ha! shmegma ...is it too late? :))

[GanjaClaus]

AHAHHAAAAA! DUDE!

I totally like the stuff you upload, like this one!

I mean its not about me really needing any advice on stuff like "refilling a Zippo", its just your entertainig way of describing things.

Seriously: 10 mins on refilling a Zippo and 330tsd views..

phat LOL

:D

[MATTNATTMATT]

Can you put petrol in them? my friend said he put petrol in his

[BBenjiW]

@MATTNATTMATT You can use petrol, but you´ll lose your Zippo warranty.

[MATTNATTMATT]

@BBenjiW And in his case, his top lip. thanks for the info.

[hitachi088]

@BBenjiW who they will ever know?

[hitachi088]

@MATTNATTMATT yeah, it work just fine. it will soot (black smoke) more than with naphtha (zippo/ronson fluid) but for the price difference, who cares? lighter fluid 5$/500ml OR unleaded gas .50Cent/500ml.

[jenbarron]

Great tutorial! Very thorough. This is why I dig YouTube! Without your instructions I might've ended up in the ER Burn Unit. Woot! I did it!

[shannongiles22]

does rohnson fluid work just as well as zippo fluid

[MASSRCOR]

@shannongiles22 zippo owns ronsonol

[xArminKx]

you can use the nuzzle to open the thing over the rayon balls, just stick it in and bend it up

[Polskastyler95]

99% Holy shit

[CoreyMcA21]

If I leave it up side down just after I fill it and its in the case etc, will it leak out the top?

[freak999999]

I ... Wasted 10 minutes of my life.... On something kids can do.... I feel empty :'(

[Capr1son]

Thanks man

[dinamitemaster]

Just a tip: Do not use your case as a screwdriver. This guy has a golden case so he can do it but if you have the case colored in any way using it as a screwdriver will mess the paint up. I tried it and now my Zippo has a scar.

[rskarmaisabitch]

JUST FUCKIN' TELL ME HOW TO FILL DAT ZIPPO.

[Contact40]

@rskarmaisabitch If you don't have the attention span to watch a video, then read the instructions that came with your Zippo.

[billydips3o4]

i say it locks like that for blowen up gas shops

[videogamefreak987]

Oh ya first coment hha no lol :)

[howeydo93]

Thank you that was hella usefull!

[CI321]

how long should 12 oz of the zippo lighter fluid last if i dont use the lighter all that much i also have that zippo hand warmer coming

[ADTheAwesome]

Thumbs up if you agree. If he knew anything about lighters he would say the butane is for Zippo blue lighters.

[16mmDJ]

Hey man, you should make a playlist with all of your zippo-related videos so we can have them all in a list.

[MrDavid1095]

WTF!? why does it takes 10 fknin minutes!?

[BlackSGMan]

@MrDavid1095 Explaining it. Derp.

[lawyaarhuncha]

that was really helpful man! THanksss

[dasad323]

Your the coolest guy in the world.

[Mathius92]

how often do you have to fill it??

[LimeyPipeSmoker91]

@Mathius92 depends how often you use it buddy. Not too often though.

[JaKE17x1]

dude your zippo is awesome !

[SonyFoLife]

Thanks a lot man! I'm a big fan, have been for awhile (More bali vids please!) and i just found a knock off zippo that an old flame (Bum-bum, Pshh!) left here about a year ago... it was bone, dry, had never been filled. realized I had some lighter fluid out in the living room for helping with fires (When that wood just wont go!) and am now the proud owner of my first Zippo(sorta). and my, is it beautiful :D

[ipodhacker1998]

omg just get to the part where you put the fluid in....he could of made this video one miniute if he didnt run his mouth

[coolhuman96]

how to make sure its full?

[BuddhaBoi96]

[BuddhaBoi96]

Shmega

[thebastardnerd1337]

Thanks :)

[alexpspgamer]

[BurnLightningStorm]

@alexpspgamer Because of tricks :D

[RAZORBBQ]

[bsmetal]

helped me out. thanks bro ;)

[cutlerylover]

@softtailpete you need to call zippo on this one, calling someone an idiot then telling wrong information makes you look really stupid

[Harisharan699]

u doing toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much of fooolish talk

[MsBickle76]

@cutlerylover @cutlerylover Excuse me. The video is 240 p so I can't make out detail but what is your lighter about?

It looks cool, but what does it say? Where can I get one like that? 

[unclesoflaugh]

@softtailpete you are SO dumb..

[Danno0618]

@softtailpete it even says to lift it on the manual it comes with

[freestyle1331]

@softtailpete your fucking retarted bro.....

[jbirdqwertyuiop]

do zopos come with fuel

[tacomunch0115]

@jbirdqwertyuiop no

[MrTomas112]

what if i overfilled it? when i start to light the fire, it bursts and flame is gone.

[tacomunch0115]

@MrTomas112 u should watch one of jeff's more recent vids on "why my zippo wont light"

[sstone333]

Thanks for the vid! Super helpful!

[TheComputerfreak2001]

Cool

[Eddieost0309]

my flame is HUGE and its right in the middle. it says star on the bottom of the case...

[mannr100]

Hey Jeff I have a question .. The cartridge on my zippo is a bit loose from the container.. How do I fix this ?

[TheSbw4554]

Just a question, can you use zippo flints in clipper lighters?? :)

[propcomicdoinyourmom]

i think the hole is so that u can pour fluid without pulling out the felt.

[IsFfNi]

if you leave your zippo for a few weeks will you have to refill it or will it still have all the fluid in it?

[JohnnyMurata]

Do you smoke? I'm askin this question cause you own so many lighters

[Hipcatkb]

Thanks dude... I completely appreciate a 'how to do' vid on this! I am in a band, and bought a zippo for our lead guitarist's bday). So, I bought the lighter and got it engraved with her name and a four-leaf clover (she's irish), as well as a ' -love the band.' So I had the engraved case, inner lighter, and wicked box... then I wanted to try it to make sure it was good to go. No flame. So, I'm watching your vid a couple times to make sure I don't light my place on fire! U saved my present idea!

[douchebatch]

You just answered your own question of why people would want to flip the cam. WHILE saying that you don't know why people would want to do it.  >.>

[jakemk1029]

child proof my ass i was screwing with lighters when i was 7

[kort77876]

shmegma

[denim494]

if my flame is kinda sputering or getting low do i need to refill it? also, how long does it take for all the fuel to evaporate my zippo ran out within 3 days.

[dragonbreath722]

stick the nozzle in the hole thats what she siad!!!!!!

[anjfermor]

This was awesome and incredibly informative! Thanks so much!

[added23]

will adding an extra cotton ball make the fuel last longer???

thanks for the vids. extremely helpful

[NeutralSnap]

my zippo burns like wildfire... what did i do wrong?

[dragonbreath722]

thanks for the vid I was just about to throw my zipo out

[ShaneNL69]

TY it helped :)

[XIXColemanXIX]

I used butane fluid...I recommend not using unless your want your hand engulfed in flames.

[xXlonewollfXx]

@XIXColemanXIX ya i know what ur talking about wish i watched this first :P

[MrAbdumalik]

@XIXColemanXIX I used butane fluid... got my hands on fire, saw my cat, tried to pet him, got him on fire, he started running around the house = more air = more flame = a burning bio-elemental substance, he set the curtains on fire, burned my house down, now im typing this from asylum cuz they thought i was a pyromaniac. Moral - smoking is bad.

[dlabrecords]

@MrAbdumalik you don't need to smoke for have zippo in your pocket! ;)

[Pointburn]

@dlabrecords Do you smoke?

[George32027]

@XIXColemanXIX huh huh fire! fire! huh huh huh huh cool

[toshaughnessy8]

Your instructional videos are exceptionally well done—they're easy to follow, comprehensive in their explanation and, with regard to the extra 'tips' offered, very helpful. You're You Tube's resident author of Zippos for Idiots.

[CADETINATORT1000]

SHMEGMA!!!!!!!!! XD Did I win? :P

[avengedbulletgrace]

Lol my fluid decided to come pouring out faster than I expected and I over filled it and now the top is all soaked..should I just let it dry out?

[charkee167]

@avengedbulletgrace yes

[avengedbulletgrace]

@charkee167 It won't light D: I think I just need to replace the flint though..Thanks :D

[davhaa]

@avengedbulletgrace love your name.

[hizshizle]

Maybe you want to keep it lit so your hands stay warm lol

[zombie19844891]

Thanks!!! i now how to fill a zippo but your techinque ii dind't know of, THANKS!!!

[superironman0]

Great video

[TheHobbylover]

I want a zippo so bad

[dontbelikedat11]

@TheHobbylover buy one off ebay! bought mine today

[TheHobbylover]

@dontbelikedat11 thanks but i found a place that sells them cheep

[MajorDestruction]

Ah I think I will start filling mine upside down in the case, normally I just let mine drip into an old can or something I got on hand. My biggest issue is my zippo is lighting like crap lol when it was new it lit fine with a small flick but lately I gotta strike it repeatedly even though I maintenance mine regularly.

[PeaCocksDude]

Well found one...

[IvanUrek]

the dislike bar is a size of justin bieber 's penis

[LFElite]

very helpful

[stein7541]

Today I bought a zippo and is great :)

[gezuz99]

where do u put the flint?

[JellyfishPotato]

@gezuz99 Theres a screw at the bottom, un-screw it theres a spring, then you put a flint in the hole and screw it back in

[CallOfDutyBoss64]

*love

[CallOfDutyBoss64]

Dont u lobe all the people who still write shmegma 2 years layer even though someone already won the contest

[ohmymikey135]

shmegma



[FirstSingleLetter]

can you use alcohol instead of lighter fluid?

[PulpFictionized]

Guys, I'm having trouble lighting my Zippo. I got the flint in and all. The only lighter fluid i got is Nibo, and says petrol on the back. will that work on my zippo? :( please help me out. thank you :)

[knotsandstuff]

[chanman789456]

FML my parents wont buy me fluid!! i havent gotten flluid for my zippo yet i won it at ceder point i only spent 5 dollars on it becouse they wouldnt buy me one but i love zippos i dont even care!

[clodester]

Red dwarf baby yea! "Shmegma" (altho in my day we said "Smegma" without the SH part but to each his own sir! ....Anyway I realize the deadline has passed. I would like to just say I love your zippo vids, and you are brilliant in that your able to explain/show everything in clear and cool ways. Like a zippo haynes manual. I have a may 1988 zippo, but needs repairs/restoring. I wanted to know If i send it to Zippo for fixing, do they replace or repair inserts?

[clodester]

Normally I wouldn't mind if inserts are just replaced, but the 1988 is important to me, so I dont just want it returned to me with a 1988 case and a modern insert. (I want a zippo born the same month/year as me (1988). If it will be a modern replacement then i might as well just repair myself to make sure its all still original....do you know how they work things?

[iWatchVideooo]

i buy my first zippo today...and your video are nice :)!

[ExtremeLonely360]

can i use regular like dupont lighter fluid?

[MrZachpow]

Thanks

[pietzeekoe]

2:30 the fact that you can slick the cam up in the open position isnt a feature, when its closed it on the other side of the "lip" to keep it closed........that fact that you can do that when its open is just a "byproduct" of that mechanism

[floris221]

at 5:06 you tell to five but you only tell 4 sec... :D

[VillainTricks]

You could wash your hands, but what I do is I burn the fluid off my hands.

[TheClusternuts]

What kind of fluid do you use for torch lighters?

[VillainTricks]

@TheClusternuts Butane because it's pressurized.

[bossman12334]

something fucked up happend when i filled my zippo i use the ronsonol fluid i filled it just like u said might of used to much and i cleaned my hands and lighter but when i lit it my whole lighter caught fire diditn explode just the whole thing on fire

[XknightOfRift]

Do you ever have to replace the wool in side the insert ?

i am very new at this am a pretty high smoker and someone give me a zippo for my birthday

if you could get back to me it would be much appreciated

[Speedo1997]

Very simple thing, that I and many else do in 30 seconds, but you used almost 10 minutes to explain that thing. Respect for that!

[nedge46]

haha shmegma... i watched ur conest vid n found the word on the first try. haha

[ElWhappo97]

i appreciate the fact that you're making a video that helps us. But seriously, you don't have to drag it out so much.

[7halos1]

how come the fluid doesnt come

and what does that lever do right next to the hing

[7halos1]

how come the fluid doesnt come

and what does that lever do

[madsdamm5534]

Dont know why, but my flame is HUGE :)

[iTechEveryWeek]

awesome video. great content man!

[EclipseDante]

When I open my Zippo, I can't take the inner part off (the part inside the casing) anybody knows what the problem could be?

[livinpie]

@EclipseDante They're tight sometimes when they're new. I suggest getting a bit of wire, threading it through the holes in the chimney, and twist the ends of the wire together over the top. Then, either use your hands or a pair of plyers, and pull that sucker straight out. After the first time, it should come out relatively easily.

[TheSnake463]

Lol gluemarned the video DOESNT start at 4:10,all those 4:10 mins you didnt watch, helped me a lot :) Thank you for your vid man YOU ROCKKK

[TheSnake463]

Thank you very much! you're doing great job,But i didnt really understand how do you know when to stop filling the zippo ill be glad if you help me :)

[Kkoga987]

what about gasoline

[picka1112]

good tips .

[TheAtomicBreakfast]

Thats what she said: Depending on how you wick goes through that hole, if it's a tight fit... XD

[vikneshXD]

wtf.my zippo got chilled man!,like it went cold man!!!!

[supermike831]

How do I know when my zippos out of fluid as oppossed to like... needing a new wick or whatever?...

[Sunderas]

@supermike831 When it's hard to light or you really can't light, fill it up. As for the flint if it sparkles well it is alright.

[CricketThomas]

you wasted time

[p0sinn]
