The new insert? Why ?, firstly I like it this insert is the same year and month to the body that I very much like it, and secondly you do not want to buy a new lighter (this lasts long enough so that it just-so write off without a fight and throw on the shelf), or send the warranty is still time, and I do not have, well, you're right of course, I enjoyed the fact that all poluchilos.A last knockout for you "ala meaning" it is a gift that is already four and a half years I drag with themselves and use constantly, so do not want to lose any of the original parts, though burst, nor the body of any insert or screw her.

And I have problems with the lid on the zip guard XV, on the photo you can see that the cover is in favor of housing.

It is possible to fix it yourself?

Of course you can, but it will be a long time, because it is necessary to heat the metal hot.

Clearly, what do you think after the next "test fire" happens vacation metal, ie. wheel will again slide on silicon or not?

Yes, again, will lose firmness, but it is possible to repeat everything. Only after a couple of triples such operations, each time the metal will keep getting worse quenching. A vseravno our century will suffice;-)

Continuing the theme of uyazvimosti-> zip was vulnerable to fat)))), has left a cigarette lighter in a trailer at work, smoke came out, I go, but already there on her lunch is heated, in general, these fat dripped me wick, the flame was quite small almost invisible was pulled the fuse cut, helped a bit, but now once ignited the third (((and in fact only 2 days ago went through her-(. And yet had the experience - when my pretty little rusty, trying to lubricate the cam locking cover, where he With regard to the metal plate, and so - to do so in any case can not be (better to clean it completely) after such operations very poorly lit, grease off or on the wick or even windscreens not concerned, I think the evaporation of grease prevented from striking. Tried weapons oil, grease and then, the effect is the same, very poorly lit.

Maybe someone knows what has dissolved zipu can be cleaned of rust and soot? to shalt not eat the coating layer, now I want her to throw gasoline on the day see what happens ...

The best way to clean (no kidding) - ultrasonic cleaner for jewelry, or at worst an ultrasonic washing machine "Retona" (remember those?). Disassemble the lighter half you put into solution hot water and vinegar and 2.1 depending on the degree of pollution "ultrazvukuesh" it from 15 minutes to one hour. Then washed with soapy water and everything. Result - Lighter sparkles like new and is cleaner than the nipple baby :)

Unfortunately at the time of the commencement of the fotika nebilo, can be compared with the same picture on the page zips №2 + mentally add the rust))). Create one nuclear solution of vinegar and 1/3 2/3 boiling water with Pemolyuks, leave for an hour ... bounced almost all regretted that only two did not leave or three, by the way Raton and have not found, and in fact was somewhere:-( probably the effect would be better. Though the result and so I arranged - see for yourself.

Here, nebilo and a hint of shine of metal, and now th-ah, the beauty!


Blyastit !, shave mozhno..8-)))

Crumbled and fell out of the epoxy filler insert, - that which is attached to the elastic plate and the tube under the flint, that's near the tube all part of it related gone down by 4 millimeters Formed a hole through which a needle can pick cotton. Well, I think everything ended zip: ((. Read all about services and concluded that they simply change insert, and what the hell to me the other lighter, this is dearer to me than the new. Well, decided to break so broken, in any case, you can send and obtain a free yet new. thought thought ... stuck it in a vise, pressed his back and stake the insides from the end, I think here now to get caught and will not go anywhere.


That's how it looks, even delighted that that has reduced the gap between the tube and kresalom flint, now I think it will be me all the way to work.


Collect the lighter opens the lid, it is strange ... opens completely without effort, as if the plate is weakened by the cam, make out, see, now the opposite part went down 8)))))))) and all the item is not held ... pulled and pulled wool it.


Here's how it looks, sorry for drawing nebilo fotika:-))


In general otkovyryat almost all epoxy, all trimmed, put back in and stake the other side.



On each side, a gap is squeezed vise and filled vnutryanku Superglue, the third layer dosyhaet, cracks like no ... By the way, maybe someone knows how to superglue reacts to petrol, he suddenly has dissolved over time ?, afraid of this, and decided to walk on top of another tin, Soon photo essay 8))

I've just on account of tin and thought. An internal structure (which under epoxy) I do not know, but you can just imagine all clean off, a little sanding, gently squeeze the vise and fill the tin. the second option, cold welding. Now here I think probably the second option will be more reliable.

I pologayu that first - epoxy moved, because of the long otmokaniya vinegar in the second - the blow, although I dropped it and just do a big dent (although flat not so long ago dropped), and of a third embodiment of the fill was not reliable initially.

Good time zippomany gentlemen! Today I received a new insert to her, "murdered" on page 1 of this post, "Armor" y. Was very pleasantly surprised by the response times "Korolus" s. Called them on September 1 girl asked me to write a letter in which to specify the problem, address, and model of the lighter. Yesterday the parcel has arrived today took a new insert.Ochen grateful "Korolus" y for the restoration of his "Armor" s. Insert packaged in a corporate package, overall nice. By the way, even for sending me the money was not asked, in short everything is as it says warranty "zippo" -priveli lighter in working condition without taking a cent (penny).

That's about zapaivanieya tin do not think it will last long ... Actually I do know that long tin not stand. About seven years ago I tried to upgrade the Zippo (well, to smell really was not, and is not weathered gasoline) and one of the options was sealing the bottom of the insert - instead of a felt pad put a metal plate, did a hole in it for fueling, Soldered to the opening of the nut in the dip Boltik, thereby closing the hole and the very plate "tightly" soldered to the bottom of the insert. The upper part of the "fuel tank" is also altered - in a hole under a wick inserted hollow rod 5 mm in length, skipped through it wick into the housing cover has attached an aluminum cap, which, when you close the lid is placed on the rod with a wick. In general, at first glance, everything turned out pretty reliably. Refills lighters had to unscrew Boltik and through a syringe with a needle to pump fuel. (Do not ask how, in such a structure has changed and cotton wick - then I never thought about it: D).

The result: After three weeks of use lighter tin to keep the metal plate was lag, nut also fallen off, resolder all over again - the situation is repeated. I do not know whether petrol as it cleverly works on the tin, maybe because of heating of the walls of the insert it is itself sealed-off, but the fact is that ...
