botas,

Here I disagree with you. (I hope it is a healthy dialogue) Smile

Yes, the Zippo lighter can be done only and only ZIPPO!!! But the fuel, here I think Zippo uses full its brand. Americans have never been very high quality indicators of petroleum products for the domestic market, take motor oil or gasoline, for vehicles manufactured for the U.S. market does not need to be adapted for the Russian gas and even Ukrainian. I think for the production of refined fuel is required expensive technologies. I do not exclude that in order for Europe Zippo produces fuel, the same company that makes Newport just different tehzadniya production or something like that.

Again, back to the parallels between the perfume. For some, one flavor acceptable, and someone he does not fit. After perfume on what criteria are selected: a) enjoy and b) after the time should not charm him, only associates. so it fits your body. So maybe in our case with gasoline, just different perception of flavor. After all, the topic I started in the first place as Newport on the quality and duration of burning gas station, and only here is the protest and for me it is not inferior characteristics Zippo. In general, I support the use of fuel Zippo, because I do a lot for morale nicer just love to debate on the pleasant topic :)

By the way, I have not seen Royal, who produces it and how it compared to Newport?

Until next communication, I must bainki tomorrow stressful day.

Regards Andrew!

At the expense of oil, I agree with you and gasoline, but the company itself has Zipp has its specific requirements and obligations and they will never raise suspicion from the point of view of the consumers if they fulfill all the quality. Royal on the account I did not give anything I can not see him like that ... Tomorrow still sleeping Wink

What I only did not pour his Zippo for so many years ... Even once poured alcohol (with it gives a very small transparent blue flames at what is only the bottom of the wick, and then the alcohol does not come up.)

Lighter works on anything that burns. Numerous attempts to identify which fuel provides more reliable ignition led to the fact that there is no permanence. Then so much the better, then another.

As to the smell, then, alas, all gasoline stink ...

Yesterday I bought "canister" 335ml Zippovskogo fuel affordable price - 75grn (about 10 dead raccoons). Foreseeing benchmark Zippo and Newport, accomplish your goal.

All the good days!

Continuing the theme of gasoline, I want to share observations. 4 months. ago I was given a Zippo: 24,184 Lifetime Guarantee and kanistrochku corporate gasoline for it. Refueling lasts an average week, does not stink, the word is good. But it is worth it in the tobacco shop where I go regularly, about 180 p., And next is ronsonol (a bright yellow canister) for 90r. I bought a try. And after a month of use it seems to me that:

1) quickly erode. Fact, but by 7 days is not always enough filling, and not a lot of smoke (about half a pack of-day).

2) quickly burn the wick.

What about the smell I do not know. It seemed to me that smells a little sharper than the native zippovsky, and his brother said that ronsonol smells even better mother))

All good health! After careful consideration (or just reading) cans Zippo and Newport in the context of the fuel realized what was different. Zippovskoe synthetic fuels (made-syntethic isoparaffinic hydrocarbonat) - a product of synthesis gas vapors, and Newport natural pure gasoline "solvent naphtha" (what was until recently Zippovsky).

A little Googling on "syntethic isoparaffinic hydrocarbonat" concluded Zippo switched to artificial fuel after 2000 as most of the patents to the specified product are dated 2000, found sites all in English and mostly American, used the translation of Google in the total set of words. Found on another forum and from the translation anglitski realized that it was just about going to the artificial Zippo fuel. Who in English proved a search for "syntethic isoparaffinic hydrocarbonat" appears many sites and can find bolle accurate information, and that Google's translation gives some charades.

I understood why my normal odor of Newport. The point is this: my first Zippo I bought in 1994, it was a simple chrome slimka cheapest in Dnepropetrovsk only shop bargain real Zippo and it cost about 70 green and petrol zippovsky there cost about $ 20 for me, then it was crazy prices but his lust for the Zippo was taking. And I think the smell of gasoline then had exactly the same as it is now Newport. And in memory deposited inexpressible emotions of owning real U.S. Zippo, I thought, holding a cigarette lighter that I am holding some kind of a priceless thing. And with that in mind, and then deposited the smell of gasoline.

MANDREY69,

Of course this is a healthy dialogue :) If was harsh - sorry.

Korolus promptly replied: "Or is it a fake, or is it from the old gasoline supplies, the formula of which has not been improved. Indeed, a new original petrol is odorless and leaves no trace. "

Yesterday went to one shop, told the seller of gasoline-scented. She has one customer, odorless gas which is said that it is a fake, because the menthol smell. So :)

By the way thanks for the investigation of the Zippo fuel, very interesting :)

Looks like I bought a new Zippo fuel supply because at that price and large cans a week ago on sale nebylo. And it really has almost no odor. Before that I had probably Zippovsky petrol previous generation since buying it long ago, 5 large cans on sale - the guys at the repair shop closed with further restructuring and gave it at ridiculous prices.

By the way, this composition of Google came to the forum in which experts talked like tattoos from Australia and the U.S.. They discussed the topic of removal or deposition (translation of Google and even conversation, imagine what a charade) tattoos using Zippovskoy liquid. And in another forum also discussed the use of fuel Zippo in medicine, for which I did not understand.

That's what it is diversifying our favorite Zippo fuel. Cool

Gasoline was originally used to kill lice and germs (ie, as an antiseptic), and sold almost exclusively in pharmacies. So there is nothing surprising in the fact that petrol lighter is used for medical purposes.

Here Ballistol gun oil - this is in truth a versatile ... and engine oil, and the means to care for wooden parts, and for the treatment of wounds, and laxative (yes, it can be taken orally) ...

Oh, cool, in Tyumen is the big banks! In Moscow, for example, never in retail did not see them - do not demand, that is ...

Regular gasoline, unfortunately, kills wick - it quickly fades away.
