OT: Zippo lighter users

[GrimReaper]

Have a Zippo that's older than I care to admit and it still works. Don't use it that often, but noticed that the lighter fluid seems to completely evaporate 3-4 days after refill. Packing material sems to be in good shape. Is my experience common or does it, as we say in Yinzer, need fixed?

I’d replace the interior of it with a torch style insert lighter.

Leaks don't get better, they get worse.

Not when you seal entirely.

Even if you blow a seal?!?

Have one albeit by a different manufacturer in the days before Zippo decided that they were missing a good opportunity. Also have more torches than Carter has pills.

Lake effect snow and lighters. Who doesn’t love Bradford?

No apparent leaks. looked on other forums and it seems my experience isn't uncommon.
