5 Cool Tricks With Zippo Lighter

Americans have been carrying around Zippos since the 1930s. The lighters are, without question, one of the most iconic American products of all time. But if you think taking one out of your pocket, flicking it on, and lighting something up is the extent of the fun you can have with one, you’re sorely mistaken. Why not get a little more suave with your brass lighter? Here are 10 tricks you can pull off with your Zippo.

 

1# Open It Like ‘Reservoir Dogs’ 

Any Tarantino fan remembers Harvey Keitel flicking open a Zippo and snapping at it. While Mr. White doesn’t pull it off as smoothly as possible, the move is one of the easier tricks on this list.

 

2# Goofy Style

Any Zippo trick is going to involve three basic steps: Opening the lighter, igniting the lighter, and closing the lighter. Once you realize that that’s always the procedure, you can get creative with any of those parts. Goofy Style offers a funky means of opening your lighter, where you hold it between three fingers, and a unique way of flicking it on, but dispenses of any crazy closing method.

3# Light Up Your Zippo With Fingers

Snapping your fingers not only produces sound. It also creates light. Well, it does with the Double Snap (not the official name) Zrick.

This trick teaches you how to light and put out the flame from your lighter with a snap of your fingers. It’s an easy process that needs just a couple of snaps, thus it’s name.

What you do is wrap your hand around the bottom case and face the Zippo downward with the hinge facing you. Make sure you’re not covering the opening. Position the lighter also with a slight tilt upward to make opening it easy.

Then with your other hand, snap your fingers near the lid to open. Then turn your hand upright and snap again against the flint wheel to turn the lighter on.

This is a cool trick that looks complicated but actually only relies on one simple action. You basically just need to hit the tip of a finger to the lid and the wheel. In a sense, you’re flicking it open and igniting it when your finger goes down.

The tricky part though is turning it on since you need to know the approximate distance to create the flame. If your finger is too near to the wheel you could burn it. If your finger lands on the chimney top then it could get sliced by the thin metal.

Turning it on requires a bit of practice then. On a side note, some of you may have seen this trick in action in Kill Bill when Harvey Keitel snapped on his Zippo.

 

#4 Ring Igniter

This trick works for opening and turning on the Zippo. It’s aptly named because it uses your ring finger to ignite the flint wheel.

It requires a fairly simple process involving just four fingers. You start by positioning the lighter with the lid up and the hinge away from your palm. Then you curl your index and middle finger and pinch the lighter in between these two fingers and your thumb.
