paint and throw. my fake (kantai) for $ 100 works for spark, Newport, ronsonole, and of course the original. eats any of silicon and wicks in any combination. change and cotton wick and guts and cook in boiling water to remove the fat.

just impurities contained in cheap gasoline evaporates after boiling or float. You can of course use the flickering here ultrasound (?) cleaner, but for this it is necessary that you have had it.

another question: why would you label expert?

an ultrasonic cleaner to clean off stubborn soot, rust, etc., and not from the remnants of cheap gasoline.
and if you are confused that the inscription, then contact the administrator.

"Too much."

Couples are going under cover at all times. Zippoobraznyh property - with lighting a room or in a dead calm on the street - it is necessary to blow the fuse, and then - strike sharply.

White steam will always be, if you close the lid and then open it - stupidly gasoline soars, because the details are heated.

So was a thread of wool in grappling, some grease, oil, feces someone. The idea - and it would come off in time, the smoke is not eternal. :) Maybe lacquer was that? Or even what shnyaga - anything can happen.

If it was just what a hell of a naphtha - would be Chorny soot during combustion, soot and other zhyrny shnyaga, including the smell svezhepodzharennogo carburetor. And lights would be long and difficult.

Not long ago gave Zippo, two. I use one, but with each presented by Bank of gasoline. Gasoline Zippo Premium Lighter Fluid. Reading the topic, yet I think that it original, black pot, triangle, all in English only sticker on the Russian szzadi. Above wrote that he does not smell, and I smell. I normally relate to the smell, but many can not tolerate. This is normal for this gas? Another 15-20 days on the lighter which is constantly used heavily burned wick (I mean black, highly visible wires).

Another question greatly tormented, looked manual for refueling and then again the problem with gasoline. I bend away from the spout zippovskogo gasoline (both banks tried), pouring a thin stream of gasoline, and from under the nose dripping, pouring gasoline all around and makes me mad. In all of the rollers smoothly tonyusenkaya stream flows clearly in kasetu. Can I somehow wrong it cant squeeze?

As a result, gasoline stinks, my wick burns quickly, and drips from refueling from under the nose. Two different banks. Is this normal? THAT is real gasoline?

Thanks in advance :)

Most likely the real gasoline. Do not smell like gasoline generally can not, it's not the water. The wick burned badly when the owners' Pontois "lights up in the wind without closing light hand. By the way I have great annoying when you give a light on the street and asking for five minutes trying to catch leaping tongue of flame in the wind, while wasting my gas and my time ;) And about the jet you might hurt yourself tips of noses when banks opened for the first time, Take a razor or pliers and smooth podrezhte most-most tip.

Gentlemen, there is observation of life zippo)) yesterday returned from the mountains, the Republic of Adygea, Lago-Naki plateau, cf. 2000 m above sea level, krasotischa indescribable! So, my zippo ignited through once, and sometimes it does not light up. Before leaving, prepared a lighter, filled (filled 8ml) syringe, as we suggested in the forum, a new wick (2 weeks), clean, with almost no soot, the wheel is also new, and indeed lighter in operation two weeks. All use branded consumables. In general, all units are functioning normally))! But in the mountains during smoke breaks had to fend gas crickets, they lit up, too unimportant, but more often.

Question to experts: how and what to do, so that even in the mountains, in a rarefied air zippo light up properly?

Comes to mind only one thing: to buy a car shop additive to increase the octane number of gasoline. There are those that are made from your tazike Ferarri to 15 seconds and then the motor just burned the hell out))) and to experiment with the dosage, better in the open ;)

That's part of the description to similar products: Recommended: apply in the event of doubt as fueling, and in cases where there is no fuel with the required octane (modifications).
When participating in sports disciplines requiring a high load on the engine and the natural desire for increased power (the same as when driving in mountainous terrain on the climbs at high ambient temperatures, towing etc.). The additive component comprises moisture scavengers in the fuel detergents, antioxidants, anti-knock additives, combustion promoters.

I mean, the idea is the case, the dosage 3litra a full tank (40-60L), that count how much to pump into 133ml kanistrochku with Zippo petrol.

Thanks for the explanation of the bright! Well, if only one way out - to experiment, you have to become a pyromaniac)) Only sorry if this has a negative impact on most cigarette lighter.

Only here, in fact zippo not work in all weather conditions ...: ((

It is a pity of course, but you can not argue with the manufacturer. Because of the infrequent need to work with lighters in the rarefied air think that Zippo is unlikely to raise the octane number of a fuel to its essentials.

My friends, why are you here stoned? :))))

Octane rating - a measure of detonation resistance fuel in internal combustion engines, and not an indicator of flammability of vapor in the lighter :)))

Well, first it is necessary to conduct experiments with pyrotechnic head (she did not, God forbid not burned), and the lighter itself is not hurt, burn down the maximum wick and cotton wool-pack will have to change-wash. The most piece of iron that will not hurt, it's not the engine that can destroy detonation or too powerful flash in the cylinder ;) Flame-open it ..

All that is suitable for the engine, it is not suitable for the lighter, since there is no oxygen (without which it will not burn at high altitudes). Gas lighters also not burn all, only those in which a mixture of propane, butane, propane, a higher combustion temperature and anything else to the outlet pressure.

No sir, BOB. Just in additives used components which including increased volatility of this most-flammability, just for the operating conditions at high altitudes. If you can suggest where to take it apart from the rest of the superfluous, which is a part of, then come ;) Ether offer is too volatile ;)

Indeed, can anyone know what you need to add an additive to the fuel zippovskoe? Maybe someone has already conducted similar experiments? The fact that I live in the south and am often in the Caucasus, in the mountains, and would love to, and even there successfully use my favorite zippo, and not every Chinese plastic.

I will advise you to pump more oxygen into the mountains.
