/fa/ - Fashion

This is cooler, and more efficient, and you don't end up smelling like lighter fluid by handling it

>>17436395
what do you need a lighter for every day?

>>17436406
>what is smoking

>>17436412
i assumed that, but i wanted to ask first, since smoking is not fashionable. so i was wondering what fashionable could warrant a lighter. in any case, whatever lighter can be hidden inside whatever carrying container you utilize for your cigarettes is the most fashionable. you'll be standing outside in the rain with your head retracted into your jacket because it's cold. there's nothing fashionable about smoking.

I only see trash hiding their lighter in their cigarette box.

>>17436412
actual smokers use cheap bic lighters

>>17436395
only high schoolers think zippos are cool
>muh sound
kill yourself

>>17436395
They're cool but the lighter fluid gets everywhere

>>17436549
Only if you overfill it like a retard

>>17436478
If you're poor sure

>>17436533
This

>>17436478
this. i don't want to be babying my lighter or get worried about losing it while drunk

>>17436395
why can't I find those slim gold butane roller lighters? They seem ubiquitous from old movies but I don't know if they make them anymore.

>>17436533

>>17436395
>Are zippos still the ultimate fashionable EDC you can carry? The mere sound of it screams cool.
Yeah, if you're 12.

>>17437173
They make new ones, but they are expensive, a vintage one from etsy is your best bet, but beware of fakes, dont pay too much.
>>17436404
>€1000 for a fucking lighter
Here, I found the right one for you.

>>17437510
I guess you have to worry about if it even works, though, right?

If I were rich enough to spend $1000 the same way I spend a dollar now, I'd buy a Cartier lighter.

>>17436478
I smoked a pack a day for years and used a Zippo, but that was just because the lighter affects the taste of the cigarette and I preferred the way my favorite brand tasted when lit with one. I'm also in the habit of opening Zippos slowly so that they just click and don't make the loud metallic sound typically associated with them.

>>17437173
Try cigar shops or especially places that sell tobacco pipes and accessories if you can find one, that's where I've seen them before. The real Dupont ones are stupid expensive but I've seen reasonable knockoffs that aren't totally insane, maybe $80-100 for passable quality.

>>17436395
zippos are cool but the constantly leaking fuel is less cool

>>17438477
good idea, thanks. $45 would be nicer but $80 isn't too bad.

>>17437163
A zippo is 13 dollars, it's not like your exactly breaking the bank

>>17436406
Leave this board retard

>>17438932
Dohoho, Zippos start at €30, going up for anything fancy, going up through €75 up to €120.
Only cringelords spend their money on Zippos, let alone mods. Lighter flick tricks are all up there on the cringe level of 2005 amateur beatboxers.

if this was true you would know zippos make ciggies taste like shit

>>17440059
You do know people have different tastes right? Someone milk like the zippo taste, some people thick cigarettes taste disgusting. My point is that you're an idiot.

>>17440070
>My point is that you're an idiot.
that's rich coming from a retard that apparently likes the taste of lighter fluid. just spray some aerosol in a bag and inhale it and save yourself some money on smokes.

>>17440059
It's just what I'm used to, and it's really only with the specific cigs I smoke, Marlboro 27s.

Dunhill are superior but expensive, Ronson are pretty good. Tbh zippos are nice for that nostalgic old school feel not reliable at all. If you want reliability just use a bic.

>>17440657
Thank you anon, I was trying to remember which other brand that started with D made those rollagas style lighters apart from dupont.

>>17440074
>just spray some aerosol in a bag and inhale it and save yourself some money on smokes.
>making fun of someone while literally addicted to inhaling toxic smoke for fun
I stand by what I said, you're an idiot, I'm also not the guy who enjoys the taste of lighter fluid, I don't smoke at all.

>>17436395
>Are zippos still the ultimate fashionable EDC you can carry?
they certainly look nice and are wildly impractical compared to a standard bic, so yes.
>Or are there better lighters out there?
most gas station bic lighters are going to be more useful, cheaper, and you won't feel like an idiot when someone steals it from you at a party. the other options are super tryhard like a plasma lighter or any non-zippo, non-disposable lighter

>>17436395

>Or are there better lighters out there? Butane insert aside.

I've got my dad's 1959 Zippo but the only time I use it (after refilling it with fuel because it all evaporated...) is when I need to dress up for a wedding or funeral, to go along with my (modern) nickel plated cigarette case.

As a fashion accessory, Zippos are cool and classy and the construction top notch and history is neato but as a practical tool, a simple Bic disposable lighter is much better.

Max /fa/ - vintage all metal lighter that's not a Zippo

High /fa/ - vintage Zippo, the older the better

Modern /fa/ - all metal butane lighter

Daily /fa/ - Bic lighter, color-matched to the cigarette pack

pleb /fa/ - cheep shit Chinese lighter you get for free when you buy a carton of smokes which never run out of fuel, as it will break long before that, with the heat shield first falling off after a couple of days requiring you to keep pinching it back on, then the spark wheel completely breaks off while the lighter is still half full of butane rendering it utterly useless and you now have to ask someone to borrow their lighter, like a fucking hobo.

>>17440668
absolute retard

Clippers is where it's at. Well made, refillable and good for clenching in your hand if you need to punch someone in the nose and don't want to break your hand.

>>17440808
Come back to me when you quit inhaling toxic smoke for fun and then we can have a discussion about intelligence.

>>17440810
aluminum knuckles are already part of my EDC

>>17440810
Huh never thought of that.

>>17440810
I use my roll of payphone dimes for that purpose

Zippos are cringe.

The reason smoking is cool is because it gives off an air of nonchalance. Spending more money than you need to on a smoking accessory diminishes that.

Every Zippo user I've ever met has made using a Zippo their "thing".

That's the opposite of nonchalance.

>>17440786
max /fa/ and only /fa/ - not smoking.

>>17441690
>smoking is cool
>>17436423

I used to carry matches and that got me the most "cool" compliments from people surprisingly

>>17440857
aluminum knucks? are those less illegal or something? i have 2 pairs of knucks somewhere but i have no idea what they're made of

>>17436395
Dupont lighter will always be more fa

zippo best for a rougher look though

>>17441757
sexy! can i cop em on thrift stores or are they too sought after?

>>17441719
Illegal in most places.
