Zippo and vape cotton

[MaceoBorker]

Does anyone ever use kendo or cotton bacon to stuff their Zippo lighter? Just curious lol, I stuffed my new one with some kendo and filled it with so much juice.

Nope. I haven't used my Zippo since I quit smoking almost 5 years ago. I'm not even sure where it is now.

I've gone the other way - I used wick from a (new) Zippo in an atty once, it was not very pleasant.

I know where my Zippos are. I use 'em once a year, and that day is coming soon!

I don't know what I'd ever use a Zippo for these days, but Bics are good for popping off Sam Adams caps

Gas station here used to give away cheap disposables with every carton. Still ended up buying Bics, cause the others break at the valve, and stranded me.
Never was a Zippo fan. Couldn't seem to get the hang of not over/under filling them. Too finicky. Like some RTAs. Bic just worked.
They should include the cost of lighters/fluid in those banners that trumpet savings!

What do you need a lighter for? Haven't you quit smoking?

I'm a 'couple of light beers' guy, but to each their own. I do on occasion use a lighter to start BBQ, or light a brush pile, or something. Sweat wont ruin it like books of matches. Handy to have around. Don't carry in pocket all the time, anymore.

I have one of those long lighters for the grill.. my husband still has a pack of bics somewhere in his "stuff".. stuff that I'm not allowed to clean or organise.. lol..

Every time I tried one of those, it gave up the ghost after 1-2 tries. You must have a good one.

That I do..

I have a zippo collection but I don't use them. Never took em apart to build with though.

Zippos are great. 150 years old and life time guarantee. And after all the vape related wicking techniques you can probably more efficiently place the cotton. How about 4 big Scottish rolls.

One never knows when you might need to set something on fire.

Speaking of bees, did you know there are bees that make milk instead of honey?

No never been that creative and I kinda hate Zippos to be honest. In this kind of heat they last about 2 torches.

I haven't tried wicking with my bics, either, although I am THANKFUL to no longer have that empty hollow feeling you get when coming across lighters and thinking, "I used to USE that." LOL. That was always HARD in my former quit attempts.

There are some pretty decent refillable butane inserts available for them now.

And there is something uniquely satisfying about the sound of a Zippo opening and closing.

Shortly after I started vaping and stopped smoking I dropped my car keys on the ground one night. First thing I did was reach into my front pocket to get my lighter. I had to go back into the house to get a flashlight..
