Product Description
Handcrafted in the US since 1932, authentic Zippo lighters are famed for their durability and windproof design. This model, which features Zippo’s Antique Brass finish, depicts a symbol that stretches across time and through cultures—the tree of life Read More
Just an FYI - I got mine in the drop last May and love it. That being said, the brush finish you see in the drop images isn't actually a finish but some sort of coating which WILL rub/scrape off quite easily. Here's what mine looks like now (still love it, wanted it for the tree).
How are you filling it? Doesn't sound like you're doing it right / putting enough in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK1BZshpVQ0This is how I've always filled mine, I tend not to put enough in to have it drip out the other side while filling, but it doesn't hurt if that happens (just means it's fully saturated). You can use the little "filling hole" but it's much easier to open pull up the solid piece of cotton and poor directly in from there. This allows you to visually see when it starts pooling and lets you spread it out better. I'll usually fill it until I see it pooling over the cotton, wait a few seconds for it to go down and repeat 2-3 times.
If you do end up overfilling/having the fluid spill out wait a while to light it and wash your hands / wipe it off... going to light a smoke only to have the entire thing enveloped in flames is a pain :P.
DermottI don't shop on there enough for it to be worth it. I'm glad they lowered that limit though, it doesn't take much for me to reach 30. Used to be 45.
Piesadid not notice anything about the qty limit though. but based on experience last time, when you see it available, you should join the drop (which i didn't previously and i always missed the drop),
Mine just came in, really like the design of the thing but I have one major gripe about this product that really irritates me. My gripe is the fact that they put a really big warning sticker on the back of the product that leaves the worst residue ever! The sticker left a bad residue line that infuriates me to no end. I loathe companies or sellers that do this and because of this fact, I will never buy a zippo lighter from massdrop again. Other than that it does not come with any fuel inside either! This would be fine for me if it didn't have the major sticker problem that ruined my experience. No fuel was just icing on the sewage cake.
JackYMNo fuel is done because it's a shipping hazard, at least that's what I've been told. Pain in the ass, but understandable.
Try some rubbing alcohol, and a cloth to remove the sticker.
JackYMI didn't have Goo Be Gone, so I took a fresh piece of adhesive tape (masking tape, duct tape, etc.) and repeatedly apply and peel on the residue. The residue stuck to the adhesive and left the surface clean and shiny.
Got the lighter about a week ago.
I noticed that it has some kinds of shine coating and that coating is coming off easily leaving a plain look on the lighter.
Is the estimated ship date stil April 23? I live in the good ole USA ( yes Alaska Is part of the USA), and would hope it will not take that long.
PS I adore Massdrop, and their support and community. Anyone else from AK?
Have you filed a help ticket via My Transactions in your member profile? That is always the place to start. If you have tracking info, then I'd also recommend contacting the carrier - most often, they need to help us both find it anyway. Sorry about that, let our support team know how we can help.
JonasHeinemanThanks for the quick response. Unfortunately I just have the order number, since my friend owed me money he ended up buying me this lighter and leather case instead of paying me back so I don't have the purchase under my profile, I just have the info that my friend has forwarded me as far as order number, and forwarded emails, etc. I just filed a help ticket but I'm not sure if that would help them any since technically it wasn't ordered from my account.
