powler Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 One of the lads I used to work with had an electronic lighter, it didn't use gas or petrol, he just charged it up and away to go. The wind had no effect on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuffy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Zippo , all day - every day . And the life time guarantee works , one of mine I've had for at least 35 years - it's been back twice . If you picked on an old knackered one for next to nowt , send it to zippo - it'll come back like new or you'll get a new one + all the old bits back !

cuffy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Zippo for Europe is in Germany - Google will find the address . Send your lighter to America and they'll send it to Germany for you . Last time , after about a month I got a letter from an America telling me how it works , next day lighter turned up - from the fatherland .

Back when I used to smoke , I contacted zippo about repairing my lighter . They said that they'd happily repair it for free , but the post office would probably find it and destroy it before it got to them , as it had contained lighter fuel . I didn't want to risk it as it had great sentimental value. I was gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
