conventional fuels
zippo released the zippo blu in 2007 (although there are many 2005 pre-release models). these are butane torch lighters, which zippo has gone to great lengths to make sure are still "identifiable as a zippo". specifically, the lid and cam were "tuned" so that the lighter still makes the distinctive "zippo click", and also it is one of the only butane torch lighters that uses a flint and striker wheel. there is also the blu2, which features a more square frame and eliminates the fuel gauge on the side of the original zippo blu.
