High MaintenanceFebruary 6, 2008 teeC4 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Had this lighter for a month and love it. (the 'click' sound when you flip open the zippo is very satisfying, ^o)) I don't smoke but I thought I'd buy it for the sake of it.
I gave it 4 stars because it's high maintenance. I don't even use it much and it's costing me.
- Lighter fluid needs refilling every 2-3 days, even if you don't use it. (lighter fluid is always evaporating inside the zippo) - Wick needs replacing about every 1-2 weeks. - Flint needs replacing every 2 weeks.
You're looking about 5-6/month on maintenance.
You can buy 100 disposable lighters for a fiver. I'm sure 100 disposable lighters will last me more than a month.
