I've got a regular Zippo that I got a butane insert for. I'd love to put a bunch of cigar bands or something on it to personalize it, but what would be the best way to go about that and have it actually last.

Any crafty peeps out here with suggestions? Thanks! :-)

Only thing i can think of is of using some sort of epoxy and paint it on

I don't personally know how to do it but I am guessing that you are talking about doing something such as Squid's lighters.

They do look very cool.

I've also read somewhere on internet that the jet inserts for zippo's are no longer being made, could be rumor though

EXACTLY like that... is that the same "Squid" that posts on this board?

The ronsons are impressive. Amazing what you can do with a sub 3.00 lighter.

Dan I believe this is Architeuthis http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/member.php?u=1594 and not Squid although it doesn't look like he has signed on in a while.

I know he is on Twitter and it looks like you can get a hold of him on the website.

Can you elaborate on this? What, specifically, do you recommend?

I may test it with a couple ronsons before I irrevocably alter my zippo.
