As a “noble brand” in lighters, Zippo has a large group of loyal fans to pay for it, both at home and abroad. One of the important reasons for making Zippo lighters world-famous is its ingenious windproof design: the windproof wall placed inside the fuselage and the unique blowhole design perfectly ensure that every Zippo lighter can keep burning in a windy environment. Because there are a large number of counterfeit products on the network platform, Zippo has recently launched the second rights protection case this year.

Brand introduction:
Zippo (Zippo) is a metal lighter made by Zippo Company in the United States. Zippo’s windproof technology can meet the demand of ignition at any time in any bad weather. Its fuel is a very stable petroleum extract, and the flame produced by its combustion is not only safe and reliable, but also extremely clean. This liquid fuel is hidden in the glass fiber movement inside the windbreak wall. The unique design makes it easy for users to judge which product is the authentic Zippo brand, and also makes Zippo users feel better and more proud in harsh environment. In fact, the way Zippo burns is like an oil lamp, which is why it has such strong windproof ability.
