In 37 years I've never thought about scratches giving character to the lighter. As a matter of fact I stopped buying Zippos over 15 years ago because of the scratches. I actually like how your 1 year used one looks. I vape now and smoke cigs maybe once a month after some beers or with friends. You just sold me on the armor version. I'm going to check the brass versions on their website. Thanks for the video.
Dents and scratches are very important on a zippo in my opinion. I don't even care if it falls on the ground because İ will just be happy about another "flaw" that shapes my unique zippo :)
I still have one of my 1st zippos. Bought for me on my 16th birthday. 23 years later (and a ton more zippos) Its absolutely beat to death. I still carry it all the time and it's my favorite in my entire collection
Hmm, interesting pocket choice for keys and phone lol. My right picked is dedicated to my phone and phone only. I'm right handed so I have more coordination to take my phone out and unlock it one handed. 🤷♂️ to each their own I suppose lol.
Ya but i dont like the fact that the hinge on the armor zippo is same as regular zippo, so the chances of breaking the lid is more... so i think regular zippos are best.
If I had to send my zippo in for repair, I imagine I could get by 3 weeks using 1 or 2 of my other daily users. I rotate my carry between 6 of them anyway. 😅 I do like my armor for the same reasons. Nice video.
True , however armies are good for those who are either really rough on zippos or drop them a lot , however the hinge wears fast and they cost more , armors I mean
Still a good video! Just a suggestion & please don’t think I’m saying you don’t know better, I wipe my iPhone lens before each use for better focus. It’s so easy to forget & it interferes with focus when I do. Thank you for the video. Very informative. 👍
Getting a small dent in an armor Zippo is probably worse than getting a slightly bigger dent in a standard Zippo due to their relative costs. Best buy a Zorro 902 - stronger than an armor Zippo and cheaper than a standard Zippo.
Well my idea was in this statement that if your doing tricks and you drop it , an armor will stand better than a normal zippo , but your right the hinge will take a beating .
