Hello Going to present for its 18th anniversary to get the original quality lighter zippo. Such that served me for years, does not break or refused. Now the question.


There is a shop Zebra. Many know him. There is a gifting, where spinning platform with a Zippo. In the same department, I bought myself a fake zipku wick and flints. Wick and flints original. In this I was convinced (the port does not wick, flints always give a lot of sparks) So tell me where the original lighters sold in such platforms or fraud is?

I currently possess a fake Zippo, and understand all of its spaces.

Back in the appendix. In the original Zippe whether empty housing (without inserts) in a closed form to move around (the effect shattered loops, when they have a gap, both the housing cover to move towards)?

Zebra pro shop will not tell, but in general all the shops with revolving stand selling fakes extremely rare, it is not profitable, the cost of fraud and original lighters are quite comparable. About the play hinges: it is quite common for lighters last years of release (unfortunately) ...

I probably will write a banality, but learn how to be a section on forgeries, dating on and off, armed with printouts, or the link if you have a smartphone or tablet with high quality resolution, and go to the store. Seller always allow twirl-examine the goods and make a decision.

I confirm that the seller always allow twirl product))) When I recently went to buy a new lighter (I wrote about this in his topic) the seller got me all lighters from the counter, that I considered them, I opted for matching the release date inserts and housings at the same time checking backlash (left-right) of the body without the insert. Unfortunately all zhigah have this play, I got more or less, play small (approximately 1 mm in both directions) ......

And there are such characteristics as looseness wheel, snapping loose tongue, sleeve is not fully soldered (divided into two parts, with a dense gap increases and tightening the bolt to spin indefinitely), rust inserts inside of the petrol oblazene schelkanya tongue coating?

And by the way, prevents this play? There at all hard to make?

Val1730 original inserts are sometimes inserted into the left case (usually in flip flops). so check the body required.

And so to the heap, fake Zippo, it's about how to forge a paper banknote of 10 rubles. Even the central bank refused to produce them, the paper comes out more expensive than his own denomination)))

No, no, I did nachigil all the original, it is lit on the first try. But hang loops as g.vno. Her take on risuonk look, start the top cover back and forth to drive here to get a piece of inserts, ie, the gap with the top cover movement on even the insert. Maybe you do not understand what I say, but in a broader sense it is clear that the Chinese lighter.


But who's not hard to tell the characteristics of your lighters. Theirs advantages and so on.

Yes almost have written. Only here's the answer to the question. Is it true that modern Zippo will last a lifetime? (I do not mean just for life, but the meaning is clear that a very very very long time)

My answer is not right, to give food for thought :))))

And you know how many years of life, the human body is targeted? There are different data, but what I've heard - it's about 250 years, but it is in perfect catch, and how many people live with us? ))))

So if you throw a cigarette lighter from a plane, and drop it on 10 times a day on concrete, how much it will serve you no answer. And there are people for whom it does not work for decades.

I think the meaning of the answer is also clear, right? :)))) One of my 12 years so far, and I think that she still outlive me .......... But the Chinese have called my hoo how much, is still one lying around at home and one at work.

Well, then it's understandable. Break there is nothing in principle. But the Chinese have. There piston for the wick is too narrow for the wick. I had to loosen it, and it comes off, and the end of all the lighter.


You can not remove the topic when purchased Zippo, accomplish your goal here and will post pictures of the genuine or not.

Agreed to remove until I will not. Waiting for photos and other experiences. Incidentally, I remove the "left" and "cloned" theme, not because I have nothing else to do but sit and monitor the site, "Chebyshev I remove this today?", And at the request of users, who complain that it is impossible to find a nichrome )))

Bought. Photos later. I bought a replica. Everything about her seems real happy. But it is alarming that there is an inscription on the bottom of PAT. 2032695 and the inscription ZIPPO without a spark. Lighter 2011.

Photos may not be very good quality. I also want to add one thing. Very disappointed that there is no comma after the bottom BRADFORD.

This necessarily means that the fake Zippo? It works perfectly, steel hinges, cabinet appears that nickel plated snap great, lit the first time. Dense, it is seen that thing.

Do not worry! Neudobnyak replica fake too. For insert original (fuck-through riveting even the Zippo did not want).
