ZippoSlim Orange Matte Pocket Lighter, One Size

It represents the brand well.

Love the quality and price ... Made it a great item for a gift

This lighter is a nice color and perfect for any zippo user. Would highly recommend, however don’t drop it in a field late at night you won’t find it.

It's a matte Zippo what more is there to say

I'm a collector so have several zippos. A+ quality always!

Filled it with lighter fluid and voila - it's gots flames.Ours was an orange powder coat finish.Seems Very durable.Happy, happy.

I love Zippo. This shell in particular is a little loose so the torch (or butane wick insert) slides out after a few opens. If I felt it at a store I wouldn’t have bought it, I would have tested others to see if it was loose, but it works.

Match color to match the person who's gift it's for.

Way back in the mists of time (okay the late 1980s) I had a matte black Zippo lighter that was my best friend. Never let me down, even in the middle of a windy Festival field. Somewhere between getting married and birthing a sprog I lost the blinking thing. So, 26 years later and unable to kick the nicotine habit and getting increasingly sick of disposable lighters (not only do they have a habit of jamming the flint when still half full but they are plastic of a non-recyclable kind) I decided it was time to treat myself to a new Zippo. I did look at various designs and pricepoints but decided that I would go with a direct replacement for my old favourite and purchased a black matte lighter.I have to admit that the price did make me wonder if this would be a genuine Zippo, when I looked at them in a local shop even the basic versions (ie. no nice design or engraving) started at £30. I am relieved to report that it is very definitely a genuine product and the build quality that I remember is still there. The lighter units sits snuggly in it's case and there is no lid or hinge movement when closed. Just waiting until I've had it 6 months and the hinge relaxes a little so you can flick it open with one wrist flick and then flick it closed again - annoying little habit but one I look forward to resurrecting.Comes with the wick ready threaded and a flint in place in a cardboard presentation box with guarantee. The box is nicely styled and does make it look special. You do need to provide the lighter petrol yourself (somehow I still had half a tin so didn't need to purchase any) but it is readily available both online and at Tobacco kiosks and counters in Supermarkets. Filling it is easy, and easy to overfill too - I did and there was fuel on the case outer and inside the lid. Makes it fun those first couple of strikes as it will catch. However, despite having a little fire on the outside of the case it did not damage the finish which shows no sign of my clumsiness.In these days of Climate Change small changes can make a difference. So, if you are still a traditional cigarette or cigar smoker or like the Great Outdoors and usually carry a disposable plastic lighter one easy change is going to a sturdy, true refillable lighter (lets face it those plastic things have a butane refill port but who bothers to try?). A tried and tested brand that is functional but somehow manages to remain stylish and will last you for your lifetime (if you are careful and don't lose it) has to be better than adding to landfill.

These don’t feel like the other Zippo lighters I have and a bit of research at Zippos website finds that they have all the hallmarks of counterfeit goods. The serial numbers should very rarely match on the case and the actual lighter yet these both do! The hinges should be stainless steel with a silver finish but they are painted over. And generally, they look badly finished and lack the heft of the other genuine Zippos but have bought. Do not buy. Fake goods. Shame on Amazon for selling them.

The price is fairly cheap but the quality is very low. I've had Zippo's in the past and they've been superb but stupidly I've lost them so I thought I'd treat myself to a knew one. The problem is the new one is very cheap, the lid doesn't close tightly and so fuel evaporation is an issue and it takes several strikes to light. At first I thought I'd bought a fake but it seems it's genuine. Maybe you have to spend a lot more to actually get a decent one but I've been put off Zippo's and will not be purchasing another one which is a shame because they have always been cool.

I've owned several Zippos, since 1986, all of which have been pretty decent and exactly what you'd expect from the brand... but this latest offering, dated March 2021 according to the code on the underside, has left me wondering if Zippo started making their stuff in China.The hinge is loose-fitting and there is far more play in the barrel than any other Zippo I've known. The lid is also a looser fit over the chimney and there's enough movement that the lighter has quite a loud rattle, even in the pocket. Previous lighters have always been a close fit with the lid holding tightly shut. I actually have one Zippo with a busted hinge, yet this new one is even looser despite being fresh out of the box!The case metal actually feels thinner too, perhaps a touch lighter, suggesting they're scrimping on material. The insert, however, is of a newer design and instead of a snug fit is actually quite tight in spite of the thinner casing. The new ribs along the lower section are possibly to blame, but it's quite an effort to pull the insert out for refilling.Overall not nearly as impressed as I should be, and I like to think I have some degree of familiarity with how a Zippo should work and feel. End of the day, the lighter works well enough, but I'd *never* believe this one was a genuine Zippo™ if it didn't say so on the casing!

The fuel seems to evaporate rapidly meaning it hast to be regularly refilled even if your not using it much and mine already seems reluctant to igniteTruth is I was better off with a disposable plastic one
