OT: Personalized lighter?

Hi!

My name is Emmely. New in here. :slight_smile:
Please excuse my bad english.

I have a question that’s maybe not on-topic, but I think you might have the knowledge anyway. :slight_smile:

A personalized lighter, Zippo-or-not-doesn’t-really-matter

http://www.zippo.com/customize/
http://www.usalighters.com/personalization/color-personalization.html

That is: Uploading a personal picture and ordering a lighter, not to engrave it

I’m looking for a few tips/options of recommended, skillful and competent sites to do this. I want quality, that is very, very, very important; but not to expensive,
Preferably within EU (I live in Sweden) or can do shipping to my country?
Zippo.com only offers personalization for the US costumers. =/

Thank’s for reply!

Regards,
Emmely

Anyone here from the U.S. want to buy Emmely a lighter?

Thank you Juxtaposer. You were much funny at my expense.
I maybe should have started the thread with saying I’m quite shy and sensitive.

Couldn’t there any smokers here too, you think? I don’t use tobacco in just one way.

Yes, I can be quite insensitive. I guess I’ll skip the hazing then. You have my apologies.

;) 

Tobacco is a lovely thing, and fun to enjoy in various ways.  Juxtaposer is a nice guy, I’m sure he means no harm :stuck_out_tongue: .  This is probably one of the most gentlemanly forums you’ll find on the internet.  Your English is really quite fine, nothing wrong with it, I understand you.

Have you tried searching Google for some personalized lighter manufacturers, or websites?  I did a quick little search and this is what I found.

I have not used any of the sites, nor do I know if their product is quality, but it’s always worth taking a look.

How’s that for a quick list of check-me-outs ?  :-)

Hope that helps you in your search

Ah, it’s okay.  I can take it. :slight_smile: As i said, it is quite off-topic.

Not so much off-topic really, this is a forum dedicated to nasal snuff, but snuff is a tobacco product, and there are a lot of pipe smokers and cigar smokers here I’m sure, and you gotta have an instrument to do the lighting.  I’m sure there are some people here that have some personalized lighters.  Give it a day or two maybe, I’m sure someone will reply with some other helpful information.

As I said I do not know the quality of the websites that I posted.  But to me, they all look very nice :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you MikeMoose :slight_smile:
And thank’s for the links.

Well, that’s sort of the problem…
I guess you can google and there’ll be a thousand of websites offering a perzonalized lighter. But I would want tested and recommended, nice-quality and don’t want to just buy one and it’ll happen to be crap. :wink:

Are you looking for a complex design?

If it is just an inscription, it might be worth checking with local jewellers whether they would do it for you. Then you could buy a nice lighter online and probably get a good price on it too. If you are getting a zippo-style petrol lighter, I would highly recommend getting the real thing. It will be much better for not a great deal more money.

Is the person you are getting it for a cigarette, pipe or cigar smoker? Cigar smokers tend to go for butane lighters (gas), whereas most cigarette smokers and many pipe smokers don’t mind petrol lighters. However, a pipe smoker will require a special kind of Zippo (which Zippo will exchange for free on any lighter that you buy from them).

Thank’s barredbenny.
This is a “photo lighter” and not an “engraved lighter”. :slight_smile:
And I’ll ofcourse want the picture to be durable and withstandable; not easy to scratch with a fingernail etc.

And thank’s for reminding me about petrol vs. butane.
It reminds me about the “Blazer Products - Z-plus”
http://www.amazon.com/Z-PLUS-ZPLUS-Z-Plus-Butane-Insert/dp/B000B7TH8I

It looks fab, but would something like this be any good? :slight_smile:

A friend of mine has a similar insert for his zippo and likes it.

The second link you posted, on your first post, will ship international

http://www.usalighters.com/personalization/color-personalization.html

Glad to help!  And yes I agree, don’t want to end up with crap :wink: .  Which is why I stated that the said links were unknown to me :stuck_out_tongue: .  I hope you find what you are looking for :slight_smile:

I have no comment on this subject matter, but from a moderator’s standpoint have added an “OT” to the thread title.

For new members, just for info, topics other than snuff are allowed, particularly other tobacco related subjects, but please mark them “OT” meaning “off topic” or perhaps “OT-OT” : “off topic - other tobacco” for users who only want to read about snuff.

Thank you Slide!
When talking about a similar insert you do not happen to know which one?

Yes, usalighters.com will ship international, that’s true.
But being a lot stubborn and repetitious I would want tested and recommended, nice-quality sites.
And I’ll ofcourse want the picture to be durable and withstandable; not easy to scratch with a fingernail etc.

Copy and paste, but that’s my five cent’s. :slight_smile:
