Alot of them i have bought they work when they are first filled up and then when they run out and you fill the the next time they dont seem to want to work and i know how to fill them
Zippo is the only lighter on the planet that is warrantied for life.I send in about 30 of them a year to get new inserts.And sell thousands of them.And they are highly collectible.I have Zippo lighters from $5. to $500.
Yes they give you brand new inserts and fix the hing.I buy every broken Zippo I run across.Been in the Flea Market business 45 years.And Zippo lighters are the best selling item I have ever dealt with.I wish someone would bring me a hundred Zippo Lighters every day.lol
The type of butane you use in these lighters makes the difference in them continuing to work. A lot of them have impurities in them. You have to spend some extra money to get some good gas! Google it.
