| How do you feel about the petrol lighters other companies and brands? Personally for me it is certainly Zippo closer than anything else, well, that does not even know what to say about the other . What do you think? share your thoughts, and who may be on the way by collecting Zippo and others?  |

| Had experience with Imco Supertriplex and Streamline. / Right now we comrade. Kurehin will ban :) / In a nutshell: IMCO cheaper and more compact. But it is less reliable. IS there anything to break. Details later. |

| There IMCO (15 years old) rusted, rubbed, but it works. I bought it in a hunting store and is mainly used only for fishing and it is rare when fishing "seroznaya" with soup and there is a possibility of loss of the fire :) :) :). There is still a Spanish DON, she, too, for 15 years. Prodavvalas with a lifetime certificate of execution pohlesche Zippo and upakovochka cool cork in mschochke burlap, right drive wheel broke after a month of use. But body looks good. Just have a gas Ronson. favor very well and rarely miss it immediately for Zippo, well, not tasty cigarette prikurinaya not from Zippo. My dream is to get hold of the lighter from my childhood, I remember there was gasoline in the form of the boat manufacture of the USSR. Maybe someone will fall mayaknite. |

Impressions of the IMCO (2nd post from the top): http://talks.guns.ru/forummess ..... 03-18.html In the same place and on their so-called 10-year-old "guarantee." Supertripleks very capacious - up to 10 days may work. Streamline - 4-5. Love Streamline - elegant and ignited Supertripleksa better. I highly recommend everyone to have a benzinschiku! A Supertripleks good as a backup lighter camping / vacation / kebabs, because the compact. Poluzapravleny, he lay on a shelf at home 3 weeks, no less, and lit up. Reliability as they have - dumb. Traction can fly in six months. Now obmeryal caliper 2 igniting (in cm). Same: Height (Imco Streamline / Zippo slim) - 7,7 / 7,62 width - 5,05 / 5,0 thickness - 3/3 Zippo Slim was launched in 1956, and Imco Streamline-58. All Imki: http://www.johnfloresgraphics ......

During 4 years of use no osechki.Da, gasoline holds really dolgo.Konechno it is not as well-known as Zippo, but it has its own era, a symbol of the Wehrmacht no matter how how ... Streamline bought in the 2005th, but almost did not use a couple of times can be tucked.  |

Dilinger, so I just had no luck with it :) kurehin, the picture is good, like a guide to IMCO. Because on their official website at the minimum information (www.imco.at.). But the Chinese are lit in a literal sense, however: http://www.imco.com.cn/products.htm . (Urgently needs to learn Chinese - I think on this site more disk imaging than the native avtsriyskom ;)) And it seems like they still make them and, because there Supertripleksy in Moscow with the "wrong" wick and slurred emblem stamped on the bottom (http://talks.guns.ru/forummessage/197/419303-22.html. 4th top post, klm45) And my STE. That Streamline, which went for repair to Germany, where he was not "met", but promised to either repair or replace a new one, and came back. So, too, with a history of lighter :) Just in Minsk we do not have such: (  PS The Chinese have won that figyachat: http://www.imco.com.cn/another ..... roduct.htm 
Put in their gas-piezo insert into the body of Zippo - and "forward-personnel mines" :) |

Exactly! :)) Golden-Joker, yes, it is. Fits Most Popular Liquid Fuel Lighter Case! 2 easy steps: Remove the original lighter insert and replace with the Z-Plus insert and you're ready to go. That would be ... No one in China has no friends? ;) |

I have these Chinese pseudo-zippo gas repeatedly seen in the stores here in St. Petersburg. Even thought to buy the already mentioned replacing the insert in their native zippo on the gas, but did not. The meaning? If zippo loved me as a whole and not just for the shape of the body. Body, which, by the way, I was most impressive in the older 30's and 40's, but not in the current version of the most common. And a fake will replace:'s like to put a Porsche engine from ... Zaporozhets. By the way, in addition to zippo blu, zippo is because gas and other modifications, contempo Japanese, and there are even versions for caught smoking pipes. And designs and there is a lot of coverage. 
However, it also has "other", sorry for the tautology. For me and slimki zippo - this "other", and the standard size - a single, unique and true. All other lighters may be of value only in their personal history, a special vintage, original mechanism or confinement of a distinguished what some dates, such as conventional gas, but with the label Euro-2008, which is valuable to me only that was brought from the match, which provided the Russian national team prize. In addition, zippo convinced me that the "real ignition" must be only petrol. Gas lighter for me - it's like ... non-alcoholic beer. Then it is better brew, that is - the match. When I was working at Lenfilm one of my colleagues regularly asked me to give him a light just because he wanted to feel the exhaust from gasoline zippo. He himself, however, having to do a lot of opportunities, currently some reason did not buy zippo, doing cricket ... |

Contempo zippo is in the photo. One of the options. Here, in one of the zazhigalochnyh sites, the selection of good: http://www.belgianbuyer.com/ow ..... ntempo.htm And, as you can see, there and "peypervorki" a guarantee or even a page from the catalog of the 89th year of such zippo. All I want to find yourself at the auction pipe version (her flame burns obliquely, not up), but they are very rare. |

As a historical artifact - fine. And from a practical point of view - it is inconvenient. The lid must be kept in the other hand, or it hangs on some lace-hook. If the wheel is not on a separate post, but right inside, then the ignition flame licking the pad of your thumb. Yes and no wind protection at all - goes out. But in the room as a reminder of past events - especially with engraving or soldering (there are curved around the liner coins, for example), very good. Just like the Nazis, with screw cap: useful only in the room, but, damn it, the shadow of past events ... especially with, say, SS skull on the cover and, for example, a sword and a Gothic inscription Wiking on board. Or, for example, luftwaffe ... In general, the story - it's always interesting.  |

| "Valued" - this is for me, rather negative. Because it means that the auction will have to pay for a thing bank. But "love" - it's me. As I often say I'm not really a collector. Like or thing, or its suspected / known / related to her story. Collectible principles "that's cool, because this is a very rare thing" (though the thing itself can not "warm heart") are alien to me. Perhaps as alien. Collectibles - is a continuous "Descent into the Maelstrom," sliding down the wall of the whirlpool. The more - the further away from the surface, that is, ordinary human notions of what is good and what - bad.  |

Support. Themselves as well belong to the category of admirers Zippo. The collection so far only modern lighters purchased under the principle of "I like it." Helped to understand the interesting and informative interview with Mr. Kypexina magazine "MASHINE". After reading decided on the theme of the future collectibles - "Zippo production in 1969" (my peers). While I regret the "crisis" does not allow to distract finances, barely have time in the family budget "hole" to patch. And as saliva ran for photos posted in the "Price guide" brass Zippo 1969 onwards , Is the desire to possess them awakened. There are other problems with the registration on E bay. In English, almost complete zero. Can anyone help, and lay out detailed instructions for "dummies" registration on ebay and paypal, payments through this system. I would be very grateful.  |
