Why do you not own a zippo?

[Anonymous No.14873946]

Because I don't smoke and zippo is the least kino firestarting tool

I like the smell of matches when lit, but I usually just use a normal gas lighter to light my cigarettes.

This probably applies to non-smokers. I smoke and I actually like the smell, but especially the taste. When I light up a cigarette with a zippo, the cigarette tastes like shit.

The only time I use it is new years eve since it works with a little wind and can tolerate the sparks or when I have to use a lot of shrink-tube on electronics.
Otherwise when camping I use cheap ass BIC lighters that just work and last pretty much forever.

Wich ones are actualy good for outside use, I might consider getting one if it does the job well enough.
>>14875412
The main flaw of the Zippo-design is that it doesn't form a decent seal on the lid.
That means the fuel evaporates all the time and the wick can get wet from outside moisture.
Even if you don't use it, the fuel runs out rather quickly.
