What I did not know before buying. The fuel evaporates very quickly. Which means, the lighter needs to be refilled every 2 weeks. Leaving it times two weeks are, is the gasoline bought expensive "evaporated". It must also be changed regularly the flint. Who is most often used, so you should always carry a flint bottom in the housing. Annoying, if you need it urgently needed and then you only have to start to loosen a bolt, spring extend, insert stone and then reassemble. The best, albeit degree the gasoline is still again all. This can then take 5-10 minutes before :-)
What I do not also knew with a Zippo can light a candle fixed!
The Advent wreath is on the table, I prefer my Zippo beaming out, but no matter how I turn the Zippo and turn the flame does not come to the wick. Laughter among friends. Embarrassing for me, the ring becomes inflamed with a 1.50 Euro standard lighter within seconds.
Conclusion: A Zippo is really only suitable for smokers who want to light a cigarette or New Year's Eve to ignite firecrackers and rockets, as well as the advantage that wind does not bring the flame of peace so quickly. 2 weekly maintenance of the lighter provided.
In everyday use, it is usually not to use, expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and time-consuming constantly nachzugießen gasoline. And unreliable due to the high maintenance costs (fuel & Feuerstein)
This one should make aware before buying.
