You aren't a modern day aristocrat if you don't have a zippo always with you
>>18088821leaky shit would rather just use a bic but i quit smoking a long time ago
>>18088821>i'm 12 years old
>>18088821How do you recognize a Zippo user?He smells like gasoline and asks for light
>>18088821I just carry around a jumbo box of matches
>>18088825>>18088824>>18088823>>18088822>>18088821If you don't have a watch you mean
>>18088826but i do have an f91w
I carry around a little bottle of gas station xxxtra hot sauce and light my cigs with my butthole.
>>18088827Congrats anon
>>18088821I had one of these in the classic "black ice" finish when I was 13. Everyone at school thought it was really neat. I've never in my life smoked a cigarette.
>there are people that don't even know what kerosene tastes likeI'm dying.
>>18088821in the long run its cheaper than buying throw away lighters. hardly an object of status, more an accessory for smart people that need to light stuff
>>18088832How? In 100 years they haven't figured out how yo make flints last as long as a $2 gas station lighter. So you have to buy those. You have to buy the gas. And then you are more likely to lose it than keep it long enough to ever outvalue buying bic lighters.
>mogs you
>>18088833>And then you are more likely to lose it than keep it long enough to ever outvalue buying bic lighters.Maybe if you're a stoner who's always spacing out about things, but I EDC'd Zippos for like 18 years and never lost one.

>>18088821>>18088826Yeah you become an aristocrat by buying these Reddit trinkets

>>18088821>>18088826are chinese preteen mall dwellers "aristocratic" now?
>>18088826For lighters what would be the casio f-91 equivalent?
>>18088821Imco is superior.>does not leak>much smaller enclosure over the wick, lighter fluid does not evaporate as quickly>can be disassembled and used as a candle or a "matchstick" to light a fire, much more convenient
>>18088821You aren't a modern day aristocrat if your family net worth is under $100000000000 MINIMUM. You probably ride public transportation.
>>18089575Bic
>>18088833You can extract the flint from empty gas station lighters and put it in your zippo
>>18088821>overpriced boomer garbageChinese lighters are better made and don't try as hard to be cool.
>>18088821My Zippo keeps drying up. What do?
>>18093923>>18089669>>18088996
>>18093923it's going to do that, they're not air tight.you can stick a butane lighter in the case, either from zippo themelves or a third party like vector thunderbird
>>18088821Zippos are so ubiquitous they've ceased being cool. You can always tell someone thinks they're badass when they whip out their zippo because [spoiler]I thought I was too[/spoiler]>>18093923Cut the wick shorter. It'll last 2x longer because a lot of fuel evaporates through there, it also makes the Zippo more windproof since the flame "sits" lower.
