I'm here right now, trying to analyze the situation, why do I have so quickly wick burned out? And still more inclined to improper fueling. I poured the fuel to the point when the wick starts to drip, of course a lot of excess ingested, then some time stemmed from the lighter / evaporate excess, ie in the area of ​​the cover was the moisture condensation. The first 3 days after a refueling still has evaporated with an excess, so ignited lighter with cotton. Well, I think it is important for an extra dressing becomes wet wick stupidly, and faster to collect the dirt and grit that is formed by carved sparks from flint, wick turns black. Who can say about that, based on their personal experience? And notice the wind sometimes he seems to be starting to smolder by type cigarettes alone wick. This means that it starts to burn through?

I started to burn the wick of bad gasoline. The reason is that when the fuel quality and the special lighter burn only pairs (petrol), the wick while the idea is only an intermediary, if I may say so. And the worst of it when the fuel burns more and fitil.Tak that from what you decant the idea should not burn through.

I also noticed that when gasoline starts to end the flame in turn nachianet "jump", as it pops off and if it does not extinguish after a few seconds he starts to spark the wick burns wire. A duck is a wick should. 3 months of normal use gasoline with a wick and no problem =)

Hmm .. so said the old wicks - asbestos! They allegedly did not smolder when using the original fuel and original flints. and that not all agree with this hypothesis? many said that in any case the wick burns. let alone the current fuses, one can say with certainty - yes, they smolder, no matter whether native or not to use the fuel. wicks are not eternal! their efforts, we can prolong their life, but do not save them from being replaced at all, unless, of course, our Zippo is not on the shelf.

no, do not have to! but then let us colleague KIR say how he runs the gasoline? if zippovskoe fuel, the original, the reason for burning wick month could become only the immoderate refueling because of other reasons for such exhaustion wick I just can not see! except that he put on her experiences, but also the month of the new Zippo wick burn - it's pretty - still cool!

Gasoline original, it is 100%, we have a desk in the city, and sell original consumables for zippo:

Here is such a kanistrochka. Before a Newport canister residues, first filled Newport once (for the very first time a Zippo came to me), and then got hold of the canister as fuel zippo, only use it.

No, Newport, I poured about a month ago, only 1 time. That was enough to fill Newport week, this week I bought here this original Zippo fuel canister and threw Newport, there remained about 20 ml.

slay, I also think that some wines Newport also present. I bought it in the transition years, five and a half ago (he then tucked some nankeen, then it broke, was thrown out and the fuel was removed in a box, where it languished all this time), ie the expiration date on the package has expired in October 2009. And the lighter I had poured around the end of February. But before that I had checked the drip it on a sheet of paper, no stains did not leave it there, the sheet was perfectly white, and the smell it was normal, like a sweet acetone.

As for this firmakom cans, I do not think she singed since bought a fairly well-known in our city at that sells expensive accessories (watches, lighters, etc.). They are simply not profitable to lose a substantial clientele (which most of them), and the price per canister - 210 rubles, suggests that the percentage pocketed from each sold banks they are not small. In general fooling buyers they no sense.

yours_truly, certainly accomplish your goal, not a question)) Maybe the whole thing just my lack of experience (well, for now at least :)

But if you return to the topic of low-quality gasoline, how do the canister should be protected? That's when I took a can of this, it did not see any seals or labels on the spot where the nozzle is raised. Ie roughly speaking I, as the seller, can safely push the nozzle, and take from each jar to milliliter, to fuel his Zippo. )))) No of course not notice anything. Well, it's just I do right now in the wilds useful. ))) This shop podavtsy - girls, Zippo them to the same thing as me to ballroom dancing, they just know what item to give to queries such as Zippo-wick, flint-fuel and all. :) Who thinks, colleagues? There can be some sort of inside zaschita?

protection, although in our Russian reality it probably would be useful =) But solid, proverennnym shopping really does not make sense to engage in such nonsense =)

Colleagues, yesterday I finally got my birthday present, a lighter Zippo 161 Brushed Copper, which is composed of 99.9% copper. ))

This is a close-up photo, from internet:

And that's exactly my copy, (photographed on a mobile phone camera):

Classy yet these copper'ry! On my lid closes when very tightly is placed on an insert, an inch on the sides not unsteady. Insert covered with a layer of copper. Recently, I began to enjoy zipki flat zheppkami some reason, after the replica 1941. ))) Lighter packed in a plastic bag (do not even know good or bad), in general a cool, I'm happy with the elephant)))

As for the problems with a fuse that had previously haunted me, the decision came, so to speak from experience, as it was I decided not to fill the lighter once 10 ml. fuel, and pour every 4-5 days with 5.5 ml., depending on usage. Experience helps determine when the fire begins to burn like "dry", I immediately know that lighter hungry)) That's it))
