I think that when lyutom cold when wearing it on the waist pouch, it will act up, but if you put it in a warm pants pocket :) it will be all OK.

I was standing with a friend at the bus stop 20 ... and we already cushy ;-) busy talking about something, get a light from zippo, (at the time he bought the crickets).

- Wow! wind, cold, and you're saying here blatuesh with one hand without covering supposedly rotten show-off. Well, I'm a couple of times and pochirkal before he rolled his nose. :-) Well, this dispute is screwy. - Let's say now bury it in the snow for about 15 minutes, and she'll get right the first time podozhgetsya ... In general, we were arguing so symbolic for beer ... until there were 20 minutes passed, I did have people buried near the road directly from the bus were aiming heels stepping on a pile lucky. In short get it opened so solemnly! (To be 100% sure that now is the flame) whet! ..... And .. and ... y name nifiga mood immediately disappeared ... whet, there sovtorogo times, but this is not it. So I am upset and went home.


And lost the argument that just because your fingers are wet until it dug, sparks practically nebilo.

Indeed, gasoline frozen at about -60 c. It does not threaten us. Another thing - ignite the vapors (weak at -20 for example) or not. There are many factors to consider: what fuel is used, the quality of the sparks, the degree of "fluff" wick, the angle of it ... That's about it only just an experiment. He took the simplest ZIPPO 207 street chrome, pulled out of her all wool, but not thrown out, and allow to dry (after filling with alcohol) and correctly laid back, missing wick "snake." ZIPPOvsky ended petrol-fueled "galosh" darling and put it into the freezer refrigerator, for reasons of clarity at 2:00 .... I pull out of her, all in the frost, finger stick, 98% are not sure that will work with either the first or the 10th time ...... teals - and lit! Everything is exactly as it is written in the instructions to any ZIPPO!!!

On the canister itself there is no data on the expiration date, not even a date.

That is - nothing. But you yourself know that gasoline can be smelly, too fast volatile smoke can and stuff ... And what is there to think, or it has deteriorated and lost their properties, or it was originally a low-quality ... :)) I changed the canister - and the problem is gone, is not it? :))))

So I have had a problem during the holidays. Wanted by Zippo street child a sparkler to light - whet, whet, whet ... and nothing. Brought home - brighter than the sun shone ;-))) Zippo 250 regular high polish crome. Tucked two days ago, maybe, I do not smoke, fuel consumption is minimal. All native - gasoline, silicon wick. I myself zazhigalochka since 2005. A made in 2003 in the month of September. In the warmth works flawlessly with 1-2 times. And in that time was in the pocket of your jeans, the frost was around -7 C and we were walking on the street with a half-hour. Most interesting is that the day before the cold lit perfectly. Gasoline missing somewhere for 7-8 days. Maybe the problem in the fuel - maybe, a jar of gasoline (black met. Russian bank with a triangle label and embossed) bought together with a cigarette lighter in 2005. Just lighter lost twice and twice was ;-))) Here and fuel being used. Wick for once just pulled. Flint original "out of the box."

And with regards to the flame temperature around here was Tiomka. if you remember the lessons of chemistry - the hottest flame is at the tip of the tongue is bright orange, and the coldest at the bottom - blue. When the wind lit sparklers, lighter certainly not died out, but the hot tongue all the time, got lost, the temperature of blue flame is clearly insufficient to ignite the magnesium fire is not lit. It was necessary to cover the flames with her hand as an orange tongue and a second fire burned through four ;-)

Once again Zippo out of fuel ;-) I Disassembled it, fluffed cotton wool pulled up the wick by cutting off the burnt part, put it, "snake", filled back fleece, filled to overflowing the old fuel (already dripped with wick) ... and the problem was resolved! Now, in any frost with half a turn - and whet the flames! For 10 days, as charged, the ignition is great. Even put it in the freezer for 15 minutes, wrapped in predvaritelon package. Took out all the lighter in the frost, opened, whet - OFF!

The farm zazhigalochka very useful - it could burn a thread, then shine where necessary. And during the holidays can light candles and benkgalskie lights!
