Although, if you use them a lot (like, a couple packs a day "a lot"), you get good at filling them the right amount, and it's just something you do.
Zippos are pretty fantastic for cigarette smokers. They're horrible for someone who just want to carry fire around in their pocket "just in case."
Back when I was smoking I got a Zippo because it was cool. Refilling fuel and replacing flints got old, but the taste of gas in your mouth was just the worst.
Every weed smoker had a zippo they didn't use because it tasted so bad. They're fidget toys more than anything. And the "windproof" feature doesn't work all that well compared to a bic lighter. Who cares if it keeps a tiny flame alive if it's not going to ignite anything else. You have to shelter it anyway.
