I have used BIC lighters for many years, even when I was a kid I had tons of them lying around. I also love regular Zippo's, they just look AMAZING and I love how they are heavy and solidly built. A Zippo is a timeless classic that is known by everybody, it is a tool that will last you a lifetime. And whenever you take out and use a Zippo, people recognize it immediately. But lets face it, a Zippo really isn't all that convenient. It's somewhat bulky, hard to open/close/use with one hand (not difficult, but more inconvenient than a BIC) and it requires constant re-fueling and occasional maintenance (wicks, flints etc).
Now why would I give this Zippo such a good rating when I am rambling on about how great a BIC is? Well this is where the Zippo slim comes into the picture. One of the biggest drawbacks for me adopting a Zippo as my daily lighter is because of it's size. It's really not that big, relatively speaking, but it is shaped differently than a BIC, which is what I have been used to for many years. And as I stated, a regular Zippo is definitely less convenient to use compared to a BIC.
The Zippo Slim on the other hand is much more comfortable in my hand than a regular Zippo is. It is really easy to open and close with one hand/finger, and it's flame size is just about the same as a BIC. Granted it is shorter than a BIC and slightly wider overall, but compared to a regular Zippo, this is as close as a Zippo gets to a BIC in terms of size. And this is by far the biggest plus I have for this lighter.
Now I realize the slim model was originally created for women decades ago when it first released, but I can tell you as a man with normal sized hands, I really like the feel of this lighter compared to the standard Zippo. When opening/closing a regular Zippo with one hand, I always felt like I was on the verge of dropping it, and it always felt awkward using it. Not with the slim, like I said, it feels very close to how a BIC feels in my hand, which is exactly what I have wanted ever since I first got a Zippo. Although for some reason I never bothered looking into the slim line until now.
So now that I have gotten my own personal lighter blog out of the way, let me comment a bit on the lighter being sold here. It is a really nice looking finish, the polished chrome is simply amazing. Every time I get a new Zippo I am always hesitant to use them because they look so perfect and shiny! Sure it smudges like crazy and scratches are easily identifiable, but hey, I say scratches and fingerprints add character to it! What I really wanted was a chrome finish with a basic Zippo logo, but Zippo does not seem to make any of those in slims, so I had to settle for a blank one. Which is still amazing even without the logo.
Another thing I noticed was that the bottom stamp seems to be on upside down. With any regular Zippo when you are looking at the front (with hinge to the left) and flip it to see the bottom, the stamp is right-side up. However with this slim, the bottom stamp seems to be upside down when the hinge is to the left. Maybe all the slims are like this, but I kind of hope not because maybe that means I have a slightly "unique" slim that was assembled with the bottom piece flipped. If somebody knows for sure, please leave a comment, as I would like to know if this is normal or not. For reference mine is was assembled in J-10.
Another thing to note about this slim is the sound of the "click". I'm sure it's obvious due to the size difference, but the sound is completely different than a normal Zippo. It is so different that it practically doesn't sound like a Zippo at all. It has a much higher pitch click and thump when you close it, and doesn't seem to 'ring' as much when you open it. Makes perfect sense due to the size difference, but I thought I would point that out.
Now I could give size dimensions of the slim VS a normal Zippo, but I really don't have anything accurate enough to measure it with. I will post some comparative pictures for this Zippo sometime later, but it's hard to tell how small this really is compared to a normal Zippo just by pictures. But it is significantly smaller. Same height as a regular Zippo (close enough anyway), but has less length and width.
Last but not least is how much fuel a slim can hold compared to a normal Zippo. I am currently in the process of testing out some of my Zippo's to see how long before I have to refill them (collecting averages), and one way I am doing this is by weight. I have a cheap gram scale I got on Amazon some time back, and it can register up to 1/10th gram increments, so it is accurate enough. What I do is weigh my Zippo when it is bone dry, write down the weight then proceed to fill up my Zippo all the way. After it is full I weigh it again to see how many grams worth of fluid I put in it. Not only does this help me figure out when I need to refuel (since I know the weight of the dry Zippo) but this also allows me to figure out the difference between a slim and regular in terms of fuel capacity.
Here is my basic weight measurements:
- Regular Zippo takes just about 4.4 grams of Zippo brand fuel.
- My slim takes just about 3.4 grams of Zippo brand fuel.
So as you can see, both filled to what I think as "full" there is about 1/4 difference in fuel capacity from a slim to a normal. Not that bad really, but you will need to refill more often compared to a regular Zippo. And from my studies so far, my Zippo's tend to lose about 0.8 grams of fluid a day due to evaporation and daily use. But I am still in the early stages of testing. If worth mentioning I will update this review later with information on how long a slim lasts me on a full tank. My guess right now is about 4-5 days before it needs to be refilled.
Oh and while the slim does weigh about 15 grams less then a regular Zippo, it still has nice heft and weight to it, which I like.
So there you have it, my ultra long, and possibly pointless, review on the Zippo slim. Hope somebody finds this info useful!
The plating on this lighter held up better than the copper plating I have on one of the other models. I still took some care —I would not to throw it into a pocket with change or nails, or what have you. But the normal use over a couple of months showed that the quality of the plating is high. So, if this is what doubts you — don’t worry. Would be nice to have an entire lighter made out of sliver, but it is expensive, and silver is softer. Having a steel core may do the lighter some good. Best of both worlds, really (at least to some extent).
I collect most of the “Armor” type Zippo lighters and this is one of my favorites, because of the plating and the texture, making it look more antique than it really is.
My favorite are the plain brass ones, see how they get scratches, oxidize, and age, starting to carry a bit of a story. There’s no plating to worry about, yet brass is not as strong as steel, but for normal use — it matters not. They also have the most musical cling, but the Silver Plated One — also has a nice, slightly muted cling, not much different from the steel & chromed models.
If you collect such lighters, and it is on sale — grab it, you will enjoy it (; Certainly could make a fine gift. A decent Zippo to start with, certainly more interesting and unique than average gas station steel models (though, practically, there’s nothing wrong with those).
OK, so where do you get flints and lighter fluid? Before the highly reliable, long-lasting, disposable butane lighters were invented, lighter fuel was available virtually everywhere: Mom&Pop stores, hardware stores, grocery stores, drug stores. In fact, it was hard to find a store where it WASN'T available. DON'T buy flints and fluid online. It is way too expensive, and they are not that hard to find in stores. I found the Zippo 12 oz. cans of fluid at my local grocery store (a well known national chain, which I don't want to plug) and it was priced at $3.50. The best place however, to buy flints and fluid is at the nation's largest retailer (the one founded by the late Sam Walton). It is usually located at one of the check stands. They sell Ronson flints for 40 cents (5 pack), and Ronsonol fuel (8 oz. can) for $1.65 (I'm plugging Ronson/Ronsonol because it's made by Zippo). Also, you can obviously find these products at specialty stores which sell pipe tobacco, cigars, etc. These are usually located in shopping malls and strip malls. You might pay a bit more at the specialty stores, but still, it would be cheaper than having to pay shipping and handling charges for online purchases.
User problems:
I still can't get over the number of people who think that this type of lighter should come filled with fuel. They aren't allowed to ship them that way. These lighters are not sealed units and are subject to evaporation. A tightly sealed shipping carton would fill up with volatile fumes. Such a box might even technically be considered a BOMB!
Can't get it to light?
(1) Sometimes after filling the lighter, raw fuel gets onto the flint, or the wick is oversaturated (too wet). Leave the lighter upright with the top open, and evaporation will take care of this problem. In a few minutes, try again.
(2) Bad Technique? If you are new to this type of lighter, you may be having trouble with the thumbwheel. Practice your technique. Flints are cheap! Remember when you were a kid, and somebody taught you how to snap your fingers, to make a very loud pop? It is the same sort of technique for operating the thumbwheel. A wimpy turn of the wheel will produce little if any spark. A hard, quick snapping of the wheel will produce a massive spark, and increase your chance of success.
Some final thoughts & suggestions:
These flint and naphtha based fuel lighters are relics of the past, and are best thought of as nostalgia, or collectable art pieces. If you are going camping or hunting, ALWAYS carry spare matches, or a butane lighter with you as a back-up. As several people have mentioned, these lighters lose fuel fairly rapidly due to evaporation. Always fill them on the day of your outing, and bring spare fluid and flints with you (Zippo makes a cute little key-chain canister which holds one lighter full of fuel, and an extra flint, available from Amazon). Another good reason that you MUST keep your lighter well fueled, is that the wick will burn up when it goes dry, and you will have to replace it.

After reading the reviews on a bunch on Amazon, I started thinking maybe the quality has decreased since my original made in 2013. Someone mentioned Armor, so I checked it out and loved the look of the silver plate. Had great reviews so went ahead and ordered it.
Arrived today. Worth a bit of wait to Canada. It’s beyond my expectations. Heavier. Solid. Came with wick and flint installed. Clean. Beautiful. It’ll probably be my daily carry going forward - even after I get my original one back.
Best Zippo!! Don’t hesitate. Add to cart.
