There is nothing to boast of, waiting cherished parcel from the U.S. :) Pre toad strangling, ordered 27Z Armor Brushed Sterling Silver. It will be my first original Zippo. Why her? I like the silver - precious metal, gold a little too pretentious, and too expensive for me :) And Armor instills a sense of weight, strength and reliability of the product. In general, as soon as I get a report with photos. |

So, three days ago I received a welcome Zippo. Thing! Now I want to share first impressions and do a little obzorchik eyes beginner. Before that I had only kEtayskie crafts. Original KEtaya different as day and night. Lighter I really liked. It has a certain charisma, which belongs to the original Zippo lighters. Plastic gas lighter - it's prose, and Zippo - this is poetry! My lighter has the stamp of Armor, but the big difference in the thickness of the walls compared to standard Zippo I've seen in the store, I noticed. Wick lighter somehow my long flaring up. That is, 1 - 2 seconds. lit a small flame, which then flares up high "pillar" of the flame. This is all true or just me? Despite the flame does not go out in the wind. And if the past with cricket I had to stop and turn around in all directions, hiding from the wind to light, now I'm on the go I light a cigarette, just having covered hand, if the wind is strong. Then some pictures. Photos are so-so. I'm not a photographer, and the camera is not very good. Also in the photo a little lighter zalapannaya.            Zatara little :)  My main hobby - small arms. So I could not resist and sfotal here such all-American still life :)

By the way, I forgot to say. She insert is not covered with silver, like chrome. This is the way it should be? I just said that the silver Zippo insert silverplated, while gold plated. The case is completely silver, even a loop :) PS: I want to try any tricks to do with a cigarette lighter, but it somehow sorry. Probably have to buy another, easier XD |

Well what a steel insert that is understandable. But the gold gilt it, so I thought that silver should be anologii with gold. A loop of the magnet and not by the color of the silver! |

People, remove the parking brake. The definition of "gold" and "silver" to the insert, it is only a slang definition of the color inserts, as their is two (or gold and silver). Silver insert so-called same chrome or steel. Gold may call dyeing, copper plating, yellow, etc. All these definitions are only for clarification of different color inserts, and not about their alloy composition. Clear pepper that all inserts, steel, and coatings make them lighter for different models to match stupid design. Would look silly chrome insert in the golden lighter, right? Or conversely, gold insert in chrome lighter ... The materials used in the Zippo, this brass (body) and stainless steel (insert). And all that on top of them is, it's either paint or galvanizing (and rarely pure brass uncoated). ZY With this logic, as you can and original Zippo flints golden call ... Do not forget the saying "All is not gold that glitters," and remember that in the world of metals and alloys have a bunch of metal similar in appearance and sometimes even in some respects. |

Well, it is logical to assume that is made of non-magnetic metal ... |

Wolf, you may be surprised, but a brass Zippo and (obviously not silver) loop is also not a magnet)) But the fact that the loop is not made of silver for sure, I've recently wrote that purely by chance their oxidized silver replica to a state of "purple black "And so the loop shone like" cats pride ";) |

| Shifted the wick in your Zippo. When pulled wool, found that the fuse was crumpled in a heap, and pinned to the wall at the top of inserts. Also in my annealing is clearly not enough for a piece of cotton sleeve. There was just a void (void volume). Vata inserts seemed to me an unusual. She's not as medical from the pharmacy. Wick had a length of 9 cm Vata insert was very tightly packed. I shoved it back I have always been an "extra" piece. In the end, I divided it into two parts, one part hard-packed top and put another of the pocket, where there was a void. Wick razlohmatilsya top of all these manipulations and was trimmed by about 4 mm. In general, the quality of laying me a little upset. Made a conclusion that I will move all at once after buying a new lighter. |

Hmm, but it's the thought, thanks. Later I will do, when gasoline is over, and that in fact it is necessary to take out wool. Damn, so she started playing, he had dropped on the floor and bent cap (I do tricks, but as they say, let the fool glass ... I mean, it came out like that joke about the Russian, who is one steel ball broke, another lost. An hour tinkering , bent loops in every one did, only now hinges Kotzk of diagonal cutters (hinges are made of very soft metal. Still, not in vain, I bought a jig for tricks easier, sterling silver would be a pity. |
