Pipe Lighter - Brushed Chrome 200PL

I am reviewing this lighter vs the VVAY pipe lighter I bought from Amazon previously. I will cut/paste same review for both lighters (VVAY vs Zipo, scores in that order) Skill required 5* vs 3* VVay is just a normal lighter, easy to use. Zipo has a learning curve, but it is worth the effort Safety 5* vs 1*. The VVAY is inherently safe, the Zipo uses petrol (not paraffin or something less volatile) and needs v v careful handling. I now know to leave it to stand as after refill as 1st time it covered itself and my hand in flames ! Aroma 1* vs 5* the same petrol smells wonderful Ease of use 4* vs 2* VVAY is a simple 1 handed press, Zipo needs 2 hands Tactile feel 1* vs 5*. Just can't beat the Zipo here. The magic "click" really is magic ! Lighting ability - score draw. VVAY is perfect but zipo better in wind Cost identical - both unit cost and fuel Practicality depends on how you smoke . Me - only at home, but if you take a pipe everywhere then the VVAY saves another tool in your pocket, although its small fuel tank could be an issue ? Conclusion - The Zipo is just fantastic to hold (and play with !). It's the one I use nearly all the time. Let's be honest - how many pipe smokers don't like tactile !?!?

Lovely wee lighter. Very stylish. Click, flame, pipe lit, indoors or out in the wind. Pipe emblazoned on corner. Impresses folk. Practical. Indestructible. Value for money. Lifetime zippo free repair if somehow it malfunctions. You will need to reorganise the wick and cotton, as it comes in a bit of a mess. Put some love into it, an it's a great bit of kit. This one has the pipe chimney, and a wee hole in the top. You can also get pipe chimney and open top. Love this thing.

Great for pipe smokers. Besides the side flame, not much to say but that it's a proper Zippo, has all the great things about a Zippo. Only downside (as with any Zippo) being that it requires regular maintenance (adding fluid, changing the stone, etc). Hearing the characteristic click every time, having a reliable side flame, and looking cool lightning your pipe with a proper lighter is well worth all the maintenance required.

Easiest lighter to maintain ever made. Literally 2 moving parts which are guaranteed for life. Works outdoors every time. And does NOT effect pipe tabbaco in the slightest! When using zippo fuel its tasteless!!

The insert is great, but the case is really sub par for zippo.

I bought these Lighters because they were cheaper than the insert alone.the insert was what I really wanted. The Brushed Chrome Case looks good, the insert works extremely well for a Pipe Smoker and I am pleased with my purchases. I would also like to add that the delivery to Spain from UK was much faster than normal mail. The prices at Amazon were also pretty good compared to my local shops.

Good lighter but not perfect takes a lot of effort to light a pipe you’re better off using a clipper long nose lighter that only costs £2

Great zippo pipe lighter. I am very happy with my purchase.

Para mi el ser zippo y original ya es mas que suficiente ,

I have never had a Zippo lighter that failed me. This is the second lighter I have purchased - it being a standard flame version. The beauty of these products is the ability to replace consumables, such as the wick and flint with easy for a life time of use.

パイプを吸うなら一つは持っといて損なし 簡単に着火できます

Ottimo accendino, la qualità non si discute, accende bene la pipa ma può essere usato anche come accendino normale. Occhio che a me è arrivato completamente scarico, credo sia un articolo rimasto in magazzino per un pó di tempo, quindi magari munitevi preventivamente del liquido apposito per ricaricarlo.

Zippo não é mais o que parece ter sido. Ele é na verdade leve demais, não parece robusto, a articulação é frágil e veio Machado de amarelo na caixa e um leve cheirinho de ferrugem nela. A obsolescência programada conseguiu danificar a qualidade da marca
