Hello! I want to tell about the unreliability of the wheel on my armor high polish chrome 167. Lighter was in use every day (about 15 ignitions per day), never overheated, consumables all original, not used for other purposes not always treated her gently. Bought new, used 2 months. When I was at a concert Scorpions (incidentally sorry that there zippo with their symbols, except scorpions, but that's another topic) on their most famous song broke down and lit by rising above his head held for 5-7 minutes at most. Heated strongly. the next day was the worst strike sparks, the day after the spark and almost completely disappeared. Apparently wheel Rascal and blunt. That just did not do, wheel cleaning toothbrushes, needles, twisted to failure screw enclose another silicon for greater emphasis in the flint wheel, slightly stretched spring, all to no avail. If anyone has not the desired insert, then please respond please buy it! After buying a new expensive for this purpose, and b / I have not found in the city. In repair also do not want to send already heard about their work.

Wheel from the heat release. It was necessary to immediately pour cold water, now it has become soft.

In your case, "repair" - This is the replacement of the insert, under official studio - free.

Do not want to bother with a studio - buy a new insert ... (ebay.com - zippo insert (in the graph search))


Thank you, did not think so many inserts sold separately from the buildings. A zippo quality is poor ...

Problems are found in the minds of people having zippo, but it's not my case, and the quality zippo before I did not quite satisfied. Before you buy a lighter in which either a decent shop I check at least 5-7 pieces, as many that are not so yes, mostly problems with hinges, inserts less crooked, but also occur. But since it is lighter still not a piece of jewelry, that these problems can be tolerated. But five minutes of burning and Khan wheel to it unless good quality? At the forum, a case where one scholar palil lighter 2:00 a row and it is clear that it is no good would happen, but 5 minutes of burning and raskalivaetsya wheel - it's too unreliable in my ...

Taschemto live long ago adopted the "shine" small screen cell phone - and shines and is not heated. :)

A claim to the quality ... damn, the combustion temperature of gasoline - 700-1100 degrees Celsius. Files kalyat at 800 C. Only after heating to 800 ° C in cold water of lowered. :) Rascal perekalenuyu tiny metal detalyushku to 800 + degrees - what you wanted to get the hell? What was going to happen physically - that's what happened, metal release, all Bob-cat. Process as simple as a hose and predictable as the fate bottles of beer on the biker rally.

Butane Lighter, incidentally, gives 400-800 C - "colder" gasoline, if Cho. :)

I advise you, buy a Chinese clone, and he put the wheel, if not tell anyone that your lighter wheel from the Chinese no one would guess :) rivet itself there is also longer than ZIPPO, Kit that's it!

Good yield to a new insert is not long to wait. Just please be a steel tube or rod at worst, to rivet zavaltsevat carefully.

This .... Opa!!

And Hartman says all about right and melting t nothing to do with. In principle, it is logical to assume that the steel used in the Files may be similar to that used for the manufacture of steel wheel.

Just try to reverse the process mentioned by val1730, worse certainly will not.

Or yes, change the wheel ... but the best one is still in service replacement inserts. Well it did not repair, so that they are unlikely to be able nakosyachit ;)

Thank you all for advice)) But the decision came naturally. Found only in my city listing for used / have zippo, went and looked - proved true, except that the stamps and housing and inserts are not the usual state rules only cover a little loose, to buy it for 200 rubles. Here I think of it to put an insert in my almost new armor))

I, for producers Zippo, live in a very remote province, but 200 meters from my house, in a not very large supermarket sells ANY inserts. At the most, a rotating small stands Zippo. 80uah Price = $ 10. Yes, on ebay for the money you can take 3 of the insert, but 200m and 2 weeks of waiting + postage negate the difference in price. Free repair - is another matter, but as I understand it, it is only in the capitals: (
