Advice/Help Vector Thunderbird G insert

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just bought a vector Thunderbird G insert and I love it but I’m having a problem with it. Overheating super super fast. I was wondering if anyone on here would be able to help me and tell me if there’s something I can buy to possibly put over either the whole insert or at least over the thumb wheel so I can rest my thumb on the wheel but right now it’s so hot. It burns my thumb. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you all

I saw this zippo listed as glow in the dark on the hungarian zippo site, but the american site doesnt list it as one. Does anybody have this specific lighter so they can check? If the image doesnt load, its the zippo records design.

Advice/Help Flints keep breaking

Post image

I got my first Zippo a few days ago, but I'm having an issue with this. The first flint that came with it broke after like two days. I put in another one, and I'm the third day, it's about to happen again.

What's happening is, is that every time I use it, it evidently bends bit by bit. It also becomes much harder to light it.

I can't imagine I'm "using it wrong," but what's going on here?

I've had this Zippo for a year and a half. It's a 1941 brush brass replica. After I bought it, I polished it a bit to make it smoother. It's with me every day, but I carry it in my backpack. I play with it occasionally. You can only see it in the photos at a certain angle. When will it have a nice dark patina?

I have started making these polymer clay detailed zippo lighters that have a opening mouth design! I’m really happy with how they came out! They have uv resin glazed eyes and teeth! I have listed this one on eBay and just want to gauge if people like them or would want one!

Why you should remove the orange sticker.

This is for everyone who asks why I and others always suggest removing the orange sticker from your Zippos. I saw this one for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Regardless of what you've heard or read, it adds no value to your Zippo and is not needed to prove it is unfired. All it does is potentially damage your finish.

When I first saw this Zippo, the design looked familiar. And it turns out the design was recycled in the younger Zippo I own.
