like i said ive had them both for about 2.5 years and apart from regular fluid and flint changes ive never had a problem
like V said...with zippos you get what you pay for..the only reason the one in the above link is so cheap is cause its been around for about 5 years..when i bought it 2.5 years ago it was twice that price

bics are expensive as hell in Tennessee lol. their like freakin $5 for a lighter you cant fill. im talking about the cheap crappy clear ones that the tops fall off of if you flick too hard lol. and between me and the gf we empty lighters fairly quickly.. shes at about a pack a day lol.

I think it'd be cheaper for me to buy some two packs over here and mail them to you.

I think that one I posted a pic of only cost me maybe $2.

Thats what they usually cost around here for the same size/style. You can get a pack of 3 or 5 at wal mart for about $5

maybe im just looking in the wrong places... i dunno. part of me just wants to be one of the cool kids lol. but every gasstation/walgreens ive been to theyre way more expensive than at home...

and i laughed hysterically at ur stop smoking comment sarah. my parents smoked my entire life. hypocrites had me hooked on 2nd hand and wouldn't let me smoke actual cigarettes till i could buy them myself lol. and lauren doesn't smoke enough for 2nd hand to be sufficient lol

on another note, any tips on where i can get them engraved in script? the zippo site only has traditional lettering. i was thinking one might be a good random present for lauren lol.

You could probably get it engraved at a jewelry store.
