  If you live on the coast or other windy region, Zippo works better

    I found that to be the weirdest incorrect assumption. I bought a zippo during my time in the navy, they don’t work well in windy conditions certainly not much better than regular gas lighters. What does work better are storm lighters, those with high pressure flame

      I’ve definitely had better luck with them, although it depends on how windy and rainy it is. If it was so bad that a cigarette was going to be soaked before I got it lit, then nothing was going to work. Plus, you also have cold temperature performance; liquid fuels (for lighters) will continue to work in exceptionally cold weather, while butane lighters tend to not.

    Agree. I bought one to go on treck, but you need to refuel it every week. Maybe 2 weeks if you tight it in inner tube. I ended up buying a storm lighter instead.

      I was also pretty disappointed when i found out Zippo’s drain themselves passively in 1-3 weeks. I thought I was getting the best version of a lighter… :(

    Zippo (too) sucks for windy weather. You want one of those blowtorch ones

    Zippos are really only around still because of aesthetic and cool factor and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

  Zippo sucks. If you don’t wear it on your body, it will be too cold and won’t work. And if you leave it lying around for some time, the gas will evaporate and it’ll be empty when you want to use it

    They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.

    They are pretty much the best at sea, though.

    Also the smell of the carburant is off putting to me.

  I’ve seen plenty in highschool, even owned one.

    Really ? Never saw anyone use it. Are you in Northen Europe/cold area maybe ?

    • TheYojimbo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      South of France, so not really.

  Cricket lighters are better. Much more reliable.
