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.
It’s been a while since I quit, so maybe memory nostalgia is in play here, but I really don’t remember tasting the fluid. I do remember that the trick with zippos was to avoid the temptation to fill them all the way up. Just enough fluid to dampen the cotton.
I also smoked for a decade - maybe I just got used to it.
