| How many grams at a time fit into Zippo? How many gas stations have enough standard (125 ml.) Cans? How many ignitions enough flint? I, personally, today stuck to a piece of paper and began sprays hacks do. How will end count. Scratch, of course tired of counting. But it may have that information? |

| When goryuchku be interested to know, though says differently, who at 1.5 months to someone for three. I on average one and a half - two months missing. At the expense of chert more complex, many different factors, as I understand notches on the wheel, not all the same, plus for example after refueling if perelesh, flint may become wet due to this increased consumption, as the first time hardly lighter to light up, in general there are too many factors. Besides silicon also are different, for example, I often take away from friends crickets and Theodore, they give flint spark better. )))

For full charging Zippo need 10ml of fuel. | |

In Zippo breaks exactly 5 grams of fuel (tested on the scale), it's probably about 7-8 ml. Of silicon do not know for 2-3 months probably did not check. | |

| and I have here what is a strange story with a new flint flint ... standing there when buying worn for about ten days (of course, in that time I could not "enough of" strike sharply and every 5 minutes), which I was very surprised. Then put in the absence of firm flint of cricket, (it was 2.3 mm), and then became less light ... and even with all that he erased in 5 days ... Surely such notches on silicon, it's so much "eats" a flint couple of scratch? I welcome your opinions friends. |

And why not? The company has a firm and it is made specifically for another one, and here it is not clear what kind of flint here's the result.! In general, if you value the lighter does not shove it in "D" silicon and "G" benzo, and pretty soon your ZIPPO also become "G".  | |

Welcome. I am a newbie on the site (the site awesome by the way) but Zipp possess 6-7 years. As for consumables. I may be mistaken but I think not all the same silicon Zipovskaya horoshi.U my 2nd lighter (yet). The "old" 2003 (purchased in 2004) model "Brashed chrome" Seems called - and so her torment. While not erased the "native" Flint was fine. Then he bought the company in the Silicon (various cities to buy), and the problems began. Lighter or vkakuyu would not light up properly with 1 times. Probyval all - wheel cleaning brush, cotton shifted, slightly stretched spring-loaded (which by the way has helped but not much). SPARK is still not the one with origainalnogo flint. Right now, an old woman appeared "little sister" - model 2007 Venetian goda.Kupil week as. Tinkling, whet, - charm. But with her, I kremeshok and inserted into an old woman. She rose with one time! Immediately changes to a whole new Zipovskaya flint - hell. Requires an effort on the wheel to drive the normal spark. A finger is not "backgammon" won ;)) I do not exclude "clobbered" of the wheel on the old woman, but not too early right? Externally, the new and old wheels are nearly identical - as if a new little different notch - a little "island" chtoli. Your opinion, Sir, about my assumptions. Could it be that in the lighter "spare" is worse than the original part? Or all the same problem in a different (packing, Nedolya hails collector is on this lighter ;)
http://zippocollector.ru/forum n/topic-52 ..... - in the way similar problem ;) PS: By the way somewhere then read about the different "relief" cuts on wheels - tell me where you can see the photo? |

| Thanks for the praise :)) What about photos of cuts do not remember, like long_boy lecturing somewhere on the forum, it's better to ask him. Silicon - Dunno, I suppose, that different parties may vary with different hardness, because of this, and the spark is different, then a silicon sensitive to moisture, lie down somewhere a bit and is not a spark, too ... hard to say for sure, I never bother, but the spark that really different, I admit. A wheel should not grind fast, he lifespan of 10 years with daily use. | |

| Greetings! I'm new here, but let me share the following observation: the wheel grinds off quite quickly (do not rule out that, due to non-genuine "moonshine" silicon) for 10 years with not grind teeth everyday use so that the spark was much weaker in any silicon - had to change the insert. General observations - is juzat as possible soft flint, despite the fact that he scored a deepening wheels - it's at, as you can clean ... :) And sparks at it more dense. Photos: First - the same grind wheel, the second - on the wheel brought last summer from the U.S. new Zippo (yuzaetsya time - smoke), and the third - the new insert, not to use, standing in a vintage cigarette lighter :) "on the shelf". It can be seen that the first ground off, the second also noticeably less sharp edges of cutters ... Figure until all encountered the same was ... I think ... :)

| Not so much a grind as beating a little bit ... 2 kypexin: somehow you are caring for the wheels (grease?) - I have a bit of rust in any case, although the storage conditions are very dry. |

| No, why care? Although I have rotated the lighter in the pocket very much, I rarely poltzuyus a long time :) Also, I do not smoke, light a fire, and so rarely :) | |

Vladimir, I can only add quite a bit :) In the top photo - the wheel of the lighter 2005. At the bottom - the new 1998. After six months of use shows that the notch a little worn, but quite clogged flint. Not to say that lighter badly burnt, but after seeing the downtrodden wheel, just cleaned it a thin needle. Now works like a charm :) Zippo flint about impermanence - not surprised. Fairly significant is the recent cases of selling gasoline brand Zippo (in black bank) with a sharp odor of solvent, which in my opinion is not "buzzing". jalcom, interesting pictures on the middle brown patina, I do not rust or from the non-proprietary silicon? And how old your vintage Zippo (bottom)? And thanks for the great photos - now we know what it looks like 10-year-old Zipp wheel :) |

| botas, about the photos - just at the time he was very upset because of such problems as the weakening of the spark saw no possibility to fix anything ... and lighter favorite, first. She is about 14 years almost (C-XII) and they saw a lot, even as she is a vintage brass replica '37 ... uh, where was I? Yes, well, when I saw this topic, something pricked, I wanted to share pictures done (sorry for the bad focus sometimes, shot with it, and it is fatal if makroGRIPe :) as you know), I hope someone find something for himself / just look at it. A rust do not understand, where, quite possibly non-original flints, yeah - when I saw the pictures the next post, already stunned - had never seen a black wheel ... how so? :) |

Well, yes, black silicon is used only :) zippovskie (other here in Minsk, Belarus, is not there). I drag replica-41 in his pocket for coins in jeans. Rust in your Zippo, perhaps, the use of "non-native" flints. A focus at the normal pictures. Well it's still the All-macro - actually photographed through a microscope :) |

| It is, yes, exactly. :) About black surprised because I have all the wheels are gray, not such a rich, almost anthracite. By the way, you can create a theme with beautiful "Still Life" with Zippo, like not seen such here. I have always been drawn to capture your favorite lighter prettier, for the sake of art ... I think patrons resource has something to boast about. :) |

In order not to spoil the wheel, we need to use the original Zipovskaya fuel. Since the pairs of the fuel does not spoil notches on wheels. (Source - sersis Zippo in Kiev). Here you have the same time and the difference in fuel. |

| On consumption: Gasoline Brand 6 milliliters / "cubes" - exactly one week, on Monday filled - for dinner Monday to strike. Flint - as an example, my 41-I replication, obtained at the end of June, from the time in the daily ispolzovanii, about twenty lighting a day. Put a new flint yesterday - native ended. Where is the four months he lived. About stesavshegosya wheel - x / z, the very first Zippo was in somewhere with the millennium, five years clean time used, the wheel quite working. | Happiness is a belt-fed weapon. |

| Hartman as a bit of talking about Imkovskih flints that they are soft ... Tested on their own experience. I have a fairly fresh Zipp 2004, bought with it for 200 rubles. So what is it with a wheel ... maybe released, can simply be erased. Zippo flint from it does not take ... flies out there that is fine and that's it. Lighter naturally does not ignite properly. When put back imkovsky flint, all at once felt good ... a lot of sparks, lights up as expected. Just returned here to live a rather old lighter, it is made of bone. There is another picture of the wheel it just eats imkovsky flint and instead of what would strike sparks, she peels it bluntly. With Zipovskaya flint everything works fine. So perhaps we can conclude that those who are afraid of the wheel should be used imkovskie flints. Straight tribology some sort =) |

Interesting opinion. Had never heard that couples nezippovskogo fuel spoiled wheel. Can anyone else hear about this? I want to switch to fuel Ronsonol or Newport, but on two zhigah I already weak wheel (on the way they want to put flints Imco), and that's worrying as it is no longer ubilis. |

| Yes, yes, yes. Flints "nezippo" spoil Zippo, petrol "nezippo" spoils Zippo, Cigarettes "nezippo" ruining Zippo, eblische user "nezippo" Zippo accelerates corrosion and so on. Gasoline, he's stsuko, is - evil. Pochuet wheel of someone else's - and eat well, its there in the dark - just crunch costs. And when the Zippo lighter is not, but in general Sarome a thread or Rowenta - so they generally pipets directly from the gasoline, because the mother is not, what does not pour - a stranger, Khan wheels. People who speak authoritatively this crap, of tainted gasoline wrought iron, naive listeners, they are there or servismeny biznesmeny - must score in the head rail spike, half-length - to be seen. A hat crutch polish on holidays to shine. And irrigated petrol Zippo, not to spoil. The first Zippo which just did not pour - until the gasoline from the Army of the Urals, only to burn - like the wheel was never spoiled. And in life rarely nepolevoy pet lighters "native" gasoline, more ronsonovsky love. And all the wheels, horror of horrors, intact - even lighter and even pre-war production and Zippo at all.
PS No, well, how does a fabulous dunce have to be to bang it, "In order not to spoil the wheel, we need to use the original Zipovskaya fuel" as well? It's just a holiday Kokoity ....
