oh maaaaaaaalcom!!!! tongue
it would be ever so coolio
i reckon it'd be a cool thing that if you ever happen to be at a random meet you could, by chance bump into a HoPer through recognition of the lighters.

4 enthusiastic thumbs up for the piccies mech!!

Butane = frown

I would totally %100 buy a HoP zippo, but not a butane lighter.

Perhaps we could do a poll.

well



so far we have



hope you like them, comments and critism welcome.






Hmmm none of the images came up for me.....



But in general a black lighter would not seem like such a good idea cos they are easier to use. Chrome with a colour HoP logo and no writing would be my fave....

And firey man is good too. Have a range.. they will sell!

Going back a bit,

The bunsen lighters aren't really gonna damage your wicks much at all really are they? I mean, you only want to light the fuel, not hold it there until your wick is burnt to a crisp... and if you light one partof the wick, surely the rest of it will follow on it's own, without the use of a lighter any more?

But, yes, the Zippos do look better when you pull one out of your pocket for lighting cigarettes in bars, but, like UCoF said, it's not really windproof if you can blow it out, now is it?

I like pretty much all of them....and will more than likely purchase it whatever it looks like...however, if pressed on a fav I would go with "2nd Gen Hop Zippo"....not that my newly "no longer a noob" opinion counts...I also agree it would be dope to bump in to someone at some random rest stop or something and see the HoP lighter.. smile

Actually, I think you'll find that the Zippo corperation makes butane lighters of that description. wink

These all look amazing-- just yesterday I was looking on ebay for a zippo as well to use to light up with and now the clouds have opened with the perfect solution.
