Zippo. You don't order shit off alibaba or eBay or the swapmeet. Buy American or Italian shit.

probably not. all that gasket sealed shit gest worn out pretty quick if you edc it. if you want something nicer than a zippo get a dunhill rollagas or a st dupont. if you're cheap get them used off ebay and restore them. its easy and fun.

Zippo dries out fast. Not a problem is you already carry white gas for camp stove. Not my choice for survival.

I got one, the top gets hot pretty quickly, ended up cutting out some leather and making a cap cover so I don't burn my finger when I close it. Tbh it's just a more complex zippo with less fuel.Also like a zippo It will dry out fairly quickly. So unless you bring more fuel it's a fancy lighter that will cause you more problems than it solves.

I was gifted a copy of picture related, it's marketed as "trench lighter", in truth it should be a model from the 1920. I never had an issue with it.
In some models the fuel compartment can be separated from the body even when lit, making some tasks easier. They're overall better designed than zippo.

>Zippo dries out fast
Only old, abused and worn out zippos (or cheap copies).
>the 5th pocket in Levi's is specifically made to fit a zippo perfectly for miners lighting their lamps.

Not true. I have an official zippo that dries out constantly. If you use it regularly you might not notice, but i use mine like maybe once every few months, and every single time i go to use it, it is out of gas. Even if I had filled it after using it the last time. Zippos are low key trash.

Same. I filled one and used decent packing tape to seal it closed for some unexpected emergency, a few years later I took the still well sealed tape off and it was bone dry.
