Wicks are used to buy its petrol lighters Chinese manufacturers:

They're cheap as shoelaces (10r. apiece) and sold in any shop where they sell lighters (not even necessarily petrol).


I'm here at the store "Send gifts" found such a set:

and in the middle of a very similar package on my own, only in an online shop, it is on a cardboard box, and I sold it in a form as in the photo.


I've been curious about it in general whose production and who are faced with?

This Zippovskie native wicks production, surprisingly Zippo. The similarity is explained simply - the Chinese do not invent anything, they all copy including packaging. Differences between native and non-native only in the fact that the Chinese laces comes apart as ... Chinese laces))

Oh by the way the account raspletaemosti, saying that reinforced plexus from branded wicks (black-box) is much less resistant to wear. As long as I put a new fuse, it already looks like a dandelion, and those wicks that photo is much stronger in terms of weaving. Once they are thinner and slightly less then the diameter reinforced by wire, they are more flexible.

From this statement, I can only agree with the price. The width of the contrary, they are a little thinner because of the thin wire reinforced, and the length is longer than the time signature. In particular, the packaging of these Chinese wicks napisanno 11.5 cm, and the firm Zipovskaya 10 cm

flints, yes, it shows the normal (one flint I set a Zippo) but the lace Chota does not inspire confidence, though, and packing them with flints like is the same as printing, printing. I just saw the other and they seem thicker. a black-cardboard packaging

taschemta packaging periodically changing. as gasoline sobsno.

and silicon in the same package, you can buy and left. in a tent near the house of a set costs 15 rubles in my opinion. Current themselves flints there otlichayutsya.s them such as paint easily (gold) are easily torn off.
