Zippos have been around for decades, and although they seem to be a lot more frequent in films than they are in real life, these lighters are the best option to go for and I'll explain why.

To refill the lighter, you need to take the main part out of the case and pour you're lighter fluid/petrol into the cotton at the bottom (there's often a hole to pour it in) and place it back. Sometimes I've poured litres (exaggeration) of fluid and it's only produced a tiny flame, other times I've been greeted by the towering inferno but despite this my lighter has always returned back to it's standard sized flame before long, just try to watch how much you put in. How often you need to refill your lighter largely depends on how often you use it, but once every three days should be enough for the regular smoker.

Although Zippos can be expensive, sometimes £40 or even more if you have it engraved, they are a good investment as a long as you can get hold of lighter fluid and flints, you're zippo will never stop working. On the minus side, changing flints cant sometimes by tricky as they are very small and the silver Zippos can get scratched pretty easily, ruining the way it looks. Also, if you have a roll up or joint (of legal herb) high zippo flames can seriously hinder you smoke, making it burn down to fast or sideburn within a second, but you can get use to the technique to stop this happening. However, Zippos have more elegance than disposables or clippers, the flame emitted is a lot more weather-resistant and will obviously last several times longer than both of them put together, so if you smoke somewhat regularly buy a Zippo, especially if you can get one cheap.
