Invited to post in this thread all the issues arising in the process of using lighters and accessories ZIPPO.

My question. The problem with the operation slimovyh Zippo, one poorly lit after night lie down, the other not at all, only after the singe the wick from the other lighters and it is hot.

Both the original, petrol and tried different flints, wick and cotton also tried to change all useless. Comrade Slim works fine, and it ran benzinm.

Tried vstvit cotton wick of slimovoy standard, season one and thus managing gasoline, works like a watch, even if the two - three days did not touch.

What could it be? Or is it a design feature slimovyh Zippo (so one runs after the jolt, and another, as I have already said no).

Slimki always more "whimsical" and can sometimes really bad light, it's the same fakt.K require more frequent refueling.

I can not advise anything specific ... always use native zippovsky gasoline and flints, in principle, many of the problems it solves. If you shift the wool inside, not to fill too tightly. Another problem might be that little gasoline poured and dried up the wick.

I slimki its solved this problem by stretching springs for flint! santimer half-maximum stretch, just look neperyatyanite, nesmozhete twist! Attacked sparks becomes much stronger, thereby solved the problem, and there is nothing more to do Wink

Thanks for the tip Kyrexin'u. And the problem was solved in the following way: Remove all of the wool inserts, fluffed it and evenly without utrombovyvaya very laid back. As a result, both received one Slim excess cotton rolls of relatives. Both lighters work perfectly zaprvki missing for 7 days (maybe more, but I usually zaprvlyayu after a specified period, not to stay up without the fire).

From this thought: perhaps the factory in Berdforde placed a little more wool than necessary, because he could not have the same effect on the two lighters.

Thank you again for the help, all who faced the problem of ignition slimovoy Zippo prdelat advise to try the same thing. Wink

he said - he said :)

actually the problem was because of the flint. they generally like horses, fastidious. found somewhere old. like in zippovskoy package, everything is fine. but when buying a new look that old some were slightly ribbed. but as a brand new set - from the first to the second time flashes. beauty)

My friend, the Russian Post is doing badly. Point.

I still had to send, sent from the U.S. in January and February. With that we should accept. Sellers are not guilty, and submitting a claim with PayPal, you're only making things worse for all of us - the sellers will simply refuse to send a parcel to Russia because the Russian mail problem - it's not their problem. That is, the chain will actually is, "said - money back - make a will - the seller never with the Russian will not be the case."

Humble yourself and wait for the arrival of their parcels :)

In-in ... I'm already resigned to the fact that a couple of parcels (January-February), have not reached ... Now I try to completely abandon the first class mail as there is no insurance, no tracking, and therefore it makes no sense to "fight" for money ... although priority, in some cases, a little expensive ... but he goes and pretty fast!

Strange, but my personal observation - not only our mail does not work well. Many sellers in the U.S. who sell "U.S. only" do recommend the use of "priority", as both have almost lost ... They just do not hide it.

Mail works best in England (in my experience). Everything is predictable and, in real terms, even without tracking. Maybe that's why it's called "Royal Mail" ... :))))

Vladimir I perfectly understand, here the problem in the next, one vendor with whom negotiations were held and I requested and paid for sending EMS sent first class for some unknown reason to me, but referring to the fact that the insured parcel (although money was transferred as per EMC) the second did not send tracking number due to the fact that this administration it is not, that they think I'm an idiot! USPS site public, and any international departure is room, though not every tracked our shitty kobylnoy mail. Feedback on both the seller in full and as a kind of positive wrote in Australia received a parcel, and the second which kind of insurance for this one about whom I spoke to Vladimir after I stole from sending the submarine forces of Russia, he sent me the same free I'm confused . and poorly or who do not want (and especially myself because I have a lot of interesting things they have in stock) and 200 bucks on the road do not roll. Bl .. n not the country named Honduras, one of the parcels have long left the customs territory of the United States

No one is immune from the very stupid sellers :)

What about tracking - the first class it is really not if sent abroad (compared to the EMS, for example, the tracking number which is stored on the territory of any country). Even with PRIORITY neponyatki and then some, in the sense that it sometimes happens that there is no tracking number (and so far I did not understand in what cases).

Tov. Ulyanov her mail (well, more and telegraph, telephone and so on, I think, and interenet too) as captured in 1917 - so this hemorrhoids and worked ever since. Fools, plus the road - both Russian troubles in one.

End of March? Hehe, it's not for long. It's still early.

The bottom line is that ebey for Russia - it sort of gambling. With two moves - you can win the auction. And then they have to win in the Russian Post. Such is the charity lottery.

The essence of the gestures - 5 days from the U.S. to Moscow. Then - as the bones will fall. Customs - with peacocks and Vereshchagin - may take up to ten days (sometimes more). Movement between the station and the customs and sorting - a week. Another week - between your mail and central. Well, to your local mail it to lie three days at least, until you notice discharged. Well, and again - until the department gets notification delivery, and then - in the mail.

That is, from Kansas to Moscow can be for five days, and the uprising in St. Petersburg to Moscow - a day of the week. Aytishnegi call it the "last mile problem."


Plus, keep in mind - from the U.S., it letil eyropleynom in Europe, repacking, and over Europe - and over it naperdel volcano, aircraft in flight choke feces and fall dead to the ground (tereticheski). So mail can now fly for very long.

A similar "problem" was at my friend ... But miracles, I think, does not happen. The seller simply forgot "to send, or put in a parcel" ... And then, O prodigy - Send free! :)))))))

We are all people ... And there is at least our mistakes ... :)

Miracles-no-miracles, but here it was, so - sending hangs in Russia and a couple of months is completely MIA. I am writing to the sender, they say, sorry, bro - but struck up parcel, alas us. No complaints, I do not want anything back, just FYI. Man begins to insist on ribeyte I otpinyvayus, then - evading that sent other lighters, apologizing that the second such Mosda he does not, but ..

Second poslka reach. I swear a little, for it is no more my fault.

And recently, I get that, first - MIA was POW - just walked oooooochchchen dooooooolgoooo.

Unsubscribed, they say - first came.

Well, he says, for her I got insurance, so I think - a gift to you by mail.

On that and decided to do.

But the patches (patches on the form) - three times valiantly sleep ... if our postal service. Three times in a row. Much as it was awkward to man - he had them twice on the ball sent. None came. I had to get a special delivery from the States.

I think that in the U.S. "forget" difficult, because postal inspectors, and that's what they're called erected in the whole federal structure have weapons and even empowered to impose heavy fines)))

A klyat understand them at all. Three times in a row - that's me most torknulo. Apparently someone out there stuck to them all and floods, as in Baghdad went and fought there. :)

Me with jeans for my wife liked it - sent from Milwaukee, EMS - all rank-rank, to Moscow. In Moscow - ber-mudsky triangle. Hung.

Then brought in with a bunch of papers - some sort of nit package tore at the office and apparently tried its zhYrnuyu Joppa cellulite pants tightened. Thank you is not broke. The case was clearly somewhere in the rain - wet jeans. Why parcel weight increased. It turns ten days of paper written - Topic Options acts, the commission collected (those apparently also compete), then close up the package and tape - brought ... Zvinyayte supposedly shYt heppens.

Would be the size of chassis, large - probably would nedoshlo. :)

Flint is not likely to come off, and ended ... You need only change to a new one ... You must remove the insert from the housing, unscrew the lower screw, remove the remainder of flint, and put back a new one.

Find Zippovskie flints in Moscow - no problem ...

About slimki. I have one. The same problems with ignition. Tried all the procedures that are already listed here, and have never used non-original flints, fuel, wicks, still poorly lit. So I put it on the shelf, let stands for beauty, and the regular use. Probably a bad job Slim is the result of another form inserts and housings, although this is not 100% sure. Just a guess, since nothing works. But I can not say that all slimki bad, just can get bad.

The problem is probably not just me! Madly in love ZIPPO, but it's time to just enjoy it!

Besides wearing ZIPPO necessarily CRIKET, then, who exactly is working flawlessly!

My classic ZIPPO lights when she sees fit. Judging by markerovke, made in March 2001. I gave her 5 years ago. Almost always light up with 5-9 times in the streets - never, of frost can not even speak. Slimovoy used rarely for the same reason.

The other day was Coroluse. Insert exchanged without talking. Happy as a child - a week from the first light up anywhere, anytime. And here, again declared amerekanets cold war Russian!

Since then tried everything advised - 0. I think amerekantsy prosrali their war by ZIPPO or other unreasonably publicized, and technology. Point!

PS What do I do? I terribly like accessory

Miracles happen, of course, but in your case ... If you replace the inserts all work, no war, no ads have nothing to do with it ... I do not know what and how do you fill up, but Zippy has always worked!

Maybe she feels your attitude to it and does not want to light up? ... :) And it's all this? :))
