Testimonials
I’ve collected Zippos for over 15 years, and Vulcanshell’s custom shells have completely elevated my collection. I ordered a Damascus steel shell with a personalized monogram, and the craftsmanship is simply outstanding. The fit is perfect – snaps onto my Zippo insert like it was made by Zippo themselves. Their design team worked with me through three revisions to get the engraving exactly right, demonstrating incredible patience and attention to detail. The packaging was premium, and it arrived from China to New York faster than some domestic shipments I’ve ordered. These aren’t just lighter cases; they’re functional art pieces. Already planning my next two designs!

Our company ordered 150 custom-engraved shells from Vulcanshell for our executive clients, and I cannot overstate how impressed everyone has been. Most corporate gifts end up in drawers, but our clients are actually carrying and using these daily. The quality surprised me – the brass construction has a substantial, premium feel that photographs don’t fully capture. Vulcanshell’s project manager coordinated with us across time zones seamlessly, provided digital proofs, and delivered two weeks ahead of schedule. The custom logo came out crisp and professional. From a business perspective, their pricing was competitive for the exceptional quality delivered. They’ve made us look good to our most important clients.

I inherited my grandfather’s classic Zippo, but the original case was badly dented. Rather than retire it, I wanted to give it new life. Vulcanshell created something beyond my expectations. I sent them a hand-drawn floral pattern inspired by my grandmother’s garden, and their designers transformed it into a breathtaking etched design on a stainless steel shell. They even suggested subtle modifications that enhanced the durability of the delicate patterns. The lighter now feels both familiar and renewed. Their service was empathetic and understanding about the sentimental nature of my project. What could have been just a repair became a meaningful bridge between generations. The quality suggests this will now last for my grandchildren to appreciate. Exceptional in every aspect.

The titanium shell with geometric laser etching I ordered is genuinely stunning – it catches light beautifully and feels incredible in hand. The precision machining is evident in every detail. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was a shipping delay of about a week beyond the original estimate, though customer service was transparent about it once I inquired. When it did arrive, it was worth the wait. The shell has developed a nice natural patina over two months of daily use. I particularly appreciate how the design doesn’t interfere with the lighter’s functionality. For the price point, this represents excellent value compared to limited edition Zippos. I’ll definitely order again, now knowing to plan for potential shipping variables.
