zippo blu lighter

[LORD PUFFER]

Loki, use your cell. I'm sure it's fine.

I got a coupon code for a free one in the mail and it said up to 16 weeks for delivery and I got it in 2. This thing is total crap and definitely not worth $40. It's not worth $5 to me. I used it once right when I got it about a week ago and I haven't picked it up since. I plan on giving a review with pictures so that no one here actually spends the money to buy one. Free is free, but don't actually fork over money for this POS.

Is this the same one people have talked about coming out. I heard they were making a "quality" butane lighter for the market. If this is it and it turns out to suck, I will just get my Z-insert.

Got mine today and I'm with Ginocide on this one -- it's a piece of junk. It's very heavy, doesn't fill easily or fully, and the whole two-step process to use the flint is a literal pain. I'll just stick with my Z-Plus thanks.

Mine came today also. The hinge seems very weak - not like my regular Zippo's. It seemed to fill okay - but the lack of a flame adjustment (unless I'm just being stupid) is a negative also.

Mine does light without the two-step process they describe - it lights just like any old bic.

I seriously don't see this thing selling for $40 bucks - $8 to $10 maybe although that may be pushing it also.

On the plus side - it was free.

As everyone knows lighter is gone, however, I did score a flashlight!!

[Cadilon]

I requested one but haven't received it yet. Does anyone think this will be the one they'll sell for $40, or is this just a cheap-o freebie to get the name out?

When I heard zippo was making this I was really interested. I hope these models are not indicative of the whole line.

I received a letter yesterday saying that they couldn't verify my age. Too much trouble to fill out the form so I just threw it away. Ohh well, sucks to be lazy.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Seems to work well for me. Lights fine and fills fine. It is a bit on the heavy side, but so are regular Zippo's and unless you are a little girly man it shouldn't be a problem. The price was definitely fair.

I got mine today.

I guess I will filler up and try that baby out.

Got mine today. It IS pretty large. I think I would rather it looked just like a regular Zippo. I can't imagine spending $40 for one, give how good the sub-$3 Ronsons from Wal-Mart are.

Well I got mine today. I was not expecting much after reading this post. When I first opened the tin I was disapointed to see how this thing looked. The finish or lack of finish on this thing is ugly. I must say I thought about throwing it in the junk drawer, but I decided to fill her up and give it a whirl. I love the way this thing lights. No flame adjustment on this thing but I don't see why you need one if it burns like this all the time. The true test of this will be how reliable it is and how long between refills. If these two things are met I will be happy with this lighter. Hopefully when they come out with these they will have a nice selection of finishes on them.
