Zippo Lighter Tricks

[wannabe]

So, I don't even smoke, but I saw such the cool Zippo at the store today. It turned into an impulse buy for me. I almost forgot how much fun it was to play with zippo lighters. Sadly, I only know one trick. (video)

I know that there are a bunch of zippo lighter junkies here on BARF. What is your favorite Zippo lighter trick?

Open it like he did, but light it by snapping your fingers right next to the flint wheel.

Also open it by 'striking' it on your leg in a downward motion, then light it by dragging it against your leg again on the way back up, in one up-and-down motion (almost like an exaggerated guitar-playing arm movement). Hold it in your right hand with the hinge side towards your palm.

I'll try to remember more.

I used to love zippos. The snapping trick eventually fucks up the hinge renders your zippo useless. I used to be able (still can last I checked) to hold it between your thumb and forefinger, and in a quick motion, flick the lid open with the middle finger, and strike the flint by swinging the middle finger back down in a really quick motion. It was less wear and tear on the hinge, and looked cooler than the snap.

Eventually I got tired of smelling like lighter fluid, so I stopped using zippos.

Flicking the flint wheel with your tongue.

I'm going to have to add a zippo to my collection of crap I never use, just in case someday...

Is it wrong that I like the smell of lighter fluid?
