I only have one. It’s a solid brass Zippo lighter.
I carry it ever day, beautiful and sturdy.
 
I've got two. One all black and this one that I bought after my high school graduation in '87. Its still in use. It doesn't get out much. It's primarily my desk lighter.

The bullet lighter was one of my grandfathers.
 
I EDC a Zippo in polished steel. For my wife I bought a Zippo with an individual etching (Valentine´s Day Things ;) )

I have two, one was from my Great Uncle, and he used it for years.

The other one is mine, I use it when I can, but for some reason, the lighter fluid always seems to evaporate or ?

I use this every day for paracord projects. I'd go through too many lighters if I didn't! I buy large containers of VM&P Naptha (varnish makers and painters) from paint thinner/chemicals aisles as the box stores. its the same compound as lighter fluid but MUCH cheaper!!

I guess you could say that I collect Zippo's. I'm not a hardcore collector as I don't actively seek them out like I do knives. But if I'm out somewhere and I see one that catches my eye I'll pick it up and add it to the collection.

It comes with a bolt that's threads mesh with the base plate. It literally pulls the base plate out.

Ahh...I see. I was wondering because you can only see the access for the fuel and flint on the bottom of the case. Thanks.

Is Bil-lit only making them out of brass and aluminum? I'd love to have one made from Titanium and anodized.

I told Greg he should do a Ti version! We'll see...
 
Man i'm seeing some nice stuff posted here... can't wait till mine gets here. I will post a pic. .Thanks guys..
 
Oil lighters work best when used. I smoke a bit less than a pack a day. My wife seldom uses her zippo and hers seems to dry faster than my well used lighter. Something to consider.

I have couple: street chrome and antique brass.
I don't smoke, but I like to have one on me especially when doing rural trips.
I think I might be getting one more, with bit more color for the summer.
 
Zippos are one of my other collections. This is the best pic of them I have at the moment (I know...pretty boring, huh?) but if I think about it tomorrow I might take some better pics of whats actually on them in the daylight.

I ordered a black ice with logo. Not a very impressive 1st order, but a start.
