I love how zorro insert care about fuel evaporation and have one with full o rings and metal bottom lid and wick cap, it's like they want to solve the problem, while zippo happily selling their original design even adding a bump to the insert to make it feel tight while at the same time adding more gap letting even more evaporation going, since they sell zippo lighter fluid and have bought the competitor fluid brand too and slowly but surely rising up their lighter fluid price especially for people living across the ocean that have to pay for all the extra cost. I can get naptha and wash benzine from local chemical supplier for much cheaper but still it is annoyance to have to refill something weekly that is not being fully used just to keep them ready, and realizing you've been inhaling lighter fluid fume daily that is probably far more toxic than smoking just by carrying your zippo around especially in modern day where we live more indoor with sealed air conditioned vehicle and room, its not fun with the fuel fume being circulated and lingering in the air, no wonder zippo are just mainly collectors item and tools for fingers acrobatic tricks and resorts to gimmick rather than being a real deal edc lighter these days. I hope zippo is willing to upgrade their design and being a relevant dependable main lighter just like SAK/ victorinox that is a close comparison with their all in house production policy yet still being the best in their field and you can clearly see quality gap between original victorinox and the counterfeits and why should we buy the real deal, with zippo it is more about fine prints on the bottom and the details on the leaflet while the lighter itself is as good or the counterfeits might be even a much better deal price/ function wise.

I bought a Zippo before knowing about Zorro. I don't smoke. I want a survival lighter that runs on standard Coleman white gas. The Zorro's seem infinitely better for this purpose.

Great video bud, nice little side by side, I gotta say, if zippo came out with some brass butane inserts with fill windows, they'd skyrocket above and beyond IMHO. I like that there's options out there, I just wish it drove the the r&d and production from zippo into more creativity.

For lighter fluid Zorro cases and inserts are best, since some cases have o-rings and the metal gasket insert is good for saving fluid. For butane Zippo has more options and better quality, and the cases are fine for them since the butane is already sealed in the insert.

Question, if I buy a Zorro 912 it 912s off AliExpress, where can I get replacement flints? I found replacement o-rings on AliExpress, but not replacement flints. Can standard Zippo fint be used in a Zorro lighter (regular, not butane).

I have been using Imco Junior 6600 lighter for 20 years. My Imco lighters have seen a lot of things. One was washed in the washing machine along with my trousers. When it came out, I dried it and refilled it and it worked without any problems. I refill it approximately every 30 days and it is sufficient. I recommend Imco lighters.

you should see the new hinges for the zorro, check out the model 912 and the 538. they look pretty dang solid, not to mention the gasket to keep the fuel from evaporating. In a perfect world, I would pick a zippo, i just kinda wished they did some upgrades to solve the evaporation issue. I dont like the idea of keeping a zippo topped off to only have it be empty after a week of just literally sitting there. I do love the zippo gas operated hand warmers though, pretty sweet when you dont have electricity

The old zippos were tight. The current ones have are made looser with a linear stamped bar at the button which makes manufacturing cheaper for zippo but they leak fuel easier. Perfect example if zippo going cheap to increase profit margins. The zorro inserts are like the old school zippo(well fitted with tight tolerances. Shame on you zippo for going cheap on quality.
