I ditched my Zippo because it is always dry, no matter how often I fill it. And my fuel can invariably leaks.
Never had a problem with fuel can leakage. As for Zippo drying, know your stripes (Roman numeral on the bottom of the lighter, why we always called them stripes I have idea). Most bad Zippo stories are with a III, also known as hunk of junk, never get one less than a VI, if you can find/ afford the XII you’ve a lighter that’ll last forever.
