As a long time owner of a zippo, I must say that I dearly love my zippo, but I would N-E-V-E-R even consider flaming up a bong or pipe with it. They are good for one thing and one thing only, and that's lighting ciggies. BICs are by far the absolute best for weed. Although you can use a torch just fine, I only use a torch If I'm outside with the wind blowing and rain/snow falling like crazy. Other than that, there's no point, because you will end up burning too much of your weed prematurely, and that's never a good thing.

Keep your zippo for looks and for lighting ciggies, but other than that, just use a trusty old BIC.:jointsmile:
