Petrol lighters in their modern form invented Austrians and Germans, and Americans only pizdanuli their idea and turned it into an icon of the 20th century :))) | |

| Incidentally, we have also decided pizdanut they have the same script and do something like the Soviet, seems to be not bad, but for some reason, many view these lighters makes him laugh, and sometimes even rejection! |

This feature of the Japanese character - bring things up to the point of absurdity exaggerated :) To a great extent this is true of collecting. Ie if so the Japanese something seriously carried away, they will do this, and a great sport and big business :) | |

| Well, maybe not like, now revised form pictures ronsona.odnako Americans gave Zippo genius, of course! because form is important! I am here, to me personally, it was like a square shape, like a Zippo :) |

Then George, with his little ingenuity improved design not too successful Austrian prototype, giving the body a rectangular shape and made the cover hinged to a cigarette lighter can be operated with one hand, but otherwise it has remained almost unchanged, even the number of holes in the walls of shelter remains the same . it is essentially just another form made and attached a cover! proved nothing more needed to come up with ... |

| Well apparently yes =) ever since, and make them the same =) and clicking ... Zippo say objectively not a good lighter (my opinion), but that's what makes it different from all the others - so it click! It is for this and I love it =)) (of course, not only for this) =)) |

I think, in principle, we can not say what is the best lighter in general, this is, I think, purely personal, subjective thing! Zippo, perhaps the most popular bp gasoline, but it can not be called the best, what of the people, so many opinions! |

| I'm terribly sorry, but no one has yet figured out how to determine the exact amount of wool for stuffing? well or how tightly the score? :) |

And it will come with experience. As anything else. "The feeling lighter," so it would be called. Cluttered up very tightly - will not absorb oil. Too little - Lighter run for one full filling fast. Well, I would have said that: wool should be thick enough, but at the same time a little bit to "breathe" to be soft. So, I suppose. In an extreme case, if something is wrong with the wool - not terrible. The main hand and a lighter wipe after filling by following the instructions Zippo. |

| Nobody tried, I see, and I liked it: cut cotton pads for removing makeup! It is convenient to insert and well kept! True, the first time overdone, put a lot of - insert swollen, barely pulled. |
