Zippo 121503 Aluminum Fuel Canister

nice little canister for carrying your favorite fluid

I've been a Zippo user for 30 years and I've seen these at the smoke shop for a few years but never bothered to ask what it was. Once a buddy of mine gave me a refill off his, I knew I had to have one. But by now, the smoke shop doesn't carry them anymore so I'm really happy that I found it on the Walmart Site. It holds 1oz of Zippo fuel which is the perfect amount to fully refuel your Zippo lighter once or to give your Zippo hand warmer a 6hr refuel. For me, I use my Zippo many times a day but I have poor refueling habits and frequently run dry. This leaves me aggravated that I can't smoke until I can refuel again. I've already refueled once since it arrived a week ago and I'm very happy with this purchase because it was everything it claimed to be and what I needed. CON - The wire ring to hold the canister to the clip and key ring is pretty weak. I could see it being pulled apart easily which could loose your keys and fuel canister if it gets snagged on something. From the package, that ring was misaligned and I was able to bend it into place with my fingers and very little effort. Also, that screwdriver disk and flint holder seem like novelty gimmicks since everyone I know only finger tightens that screw cap and keeps spare flints under their felt pad but it's still nice for Zippo to include them for a novice user. PRO - It's the perfect size to hold one full Zippo lighter refuel and still sits compact in any pocket or in my backpack. The fuel pours out at a nice pace so it gives the wading time to absorb as it flows. By the time you see it reaching the felt, you're full; in just seconds like filling from the can. The construction is solid and compact so I don't have to worry about my gear puncturing it like I do when I carry the can on camping trips. The O-rings around the main cap and pouring spout sit snug once they're screwed on so I have not had any leaking or fuel vapor smell coming off of it at all. I can absolutely recommend this to a friend and I intend on getting a second one to keep one to carry and one for my backpack. Five Stars!

They don't make many products like this anymore. The quality of this fuel canister reminds me of something from the 1950's. It's solid metal and very nicely crafted. It has the appearance that it would last a lifetime, and I have no doubt it could be passed from generation to generation, just like an old Zippo lighter. It may be built for holding lighter fluid but there are many, many other uses for a water and air tight container this size. It's perfect for anything small enough to fit inside that you want to keep very safe. Like medications for instance. Well worth the price for this kind of quality.

This is a handy little portable canister to take with you if you use a Zippo lighter quite a bit. It's a lot more convenient to pack around than having to pack an entire refuel jar itself. Can easily go on a keychain, or stick it in the car whenever your lighter runs out. it's pretty high quality and made of stainless steel, and has a handy keychain feature if you would like to put it on your keychain. I keep it in my car in my glove box for if I were to need it in case of emergencies. If you are looking for a easier way to refuel your lighter, this is definitely a good option

My brother in law smokes and he was living with us for past 10 years. I have found and thrown at least couple dozens of citrate lighters, when he switched to zipps lighter couple months back. This tiny little fuel canister can help him even more. It's made of earth friendly material that I like so no plastic waste is going to landfill. This is very compact. And the you can refill your zipps lighters with it very easily. And most interesting part is that you can refill this little refill bottle from a big can. So it's a total win win. No landfill easy on pocket in long term as you'll be just buying fuel. And it looks very class. The whole zippo line looks classy. Highly recommended.
