[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 451131, member: 2140"] Stick, I use a zippo or Nimrod most of the time and have for longer than I care to remember. I've used just naphtha, zippo fluid, Ronson (owned by zippo for a long time now), even used charcoal lighter fluid for the bbq in a pinch. Never noticed any residual flavor. Only occasionally do I taste anything as I light. Service is top notch from Zippo but Nimrods are easily fixed at home with zippo parts. Over the years I've picked up 6 or 7 zippo's and 2 Nimrod Commanders and 1 sportsman. As to evaporation issues....I cut an 1&1/2 inch section from a bicycle inner tube and roll that over the junction of the lighter cap when not in use. Slows down the evaporation enough to be noticeable.
