Q: Q: Is Zippo really windproof? Why does it go out when it blows, or is there something wrong with my zippo?
Answer: Zippo is indeed a windproof lighter, which can resist the wind speed of 14 m/s without flameout, which is equivalent to about 30 km/h. The speed of the wind blown from the mouth is dense and fast, much higher than this value, so it is easy to flameout. This is especially true when the wind blows directly into the flame.
Q: How long should the cotton core be normal? When do you usually need to change the cotton core?
A: The new cotton core should be 1 15mm long. With the use, we need to cut off the cotton core constantly. When the cotton core is shorter than 75mm, a new cotton core will be replaced. When the cotton core is less than 75mm, because the cotton core can not cover the whole liner in an S shape, there will be no oil absorption. The most obvious thing is to uncover the felt but can't hit it.
Q: Why is there a black solid on the top of the cotton core after long-term use? Does it affect zippo?
A: This phenomenon is carbon deposition. In the case of incomplete combustion, carbon deposition will occur. The removal method is also very simple, just cut off the carbon deposit, which will affect the transmission of kerosene, so it is necessary to remove it. However, please note that carbon deposition is different from blackening of cotton core, which is inevitable in the combustion process, and blackening does not affect the use of zippo. Carbon deposition can also be avoided. Carbon deposition mainly occurs in the case of incomplete combustion, which will cause incomplete combustion for flame blowing and reignition. So these situations should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, friends who light cigarettes should not put cigarettes too close to the cotton core, so the flame will be suppressed and will not burn completely 000005DC.
Q: Why is zippo's voice not as crisp as other people's mobile phones? Is there any way to adjust it?
Answer: Answer: The sound of zippo is mainly controlled by the baffle of the upper cover. Dial the baffle inward, the sound will become brittle and small, and dial outward, the sound will become coarse and loud.
Q: The top cover of my zippo can be opened 180 degrees. I don't think anyone else's lid can reach it. Is it abnormal?
A: When Zippo was first bought, it really didn't open at 180 degrees. As the hinge wears away, this angle will become larger and larger. But now there are a number of machines that can be driven to 180 degrees when they are bought back, and there is no impact. Please feel free to use them.
Q: I want to replace the inner container or outer shell of zippo. Can I buy it separately?
A: It is almost impossible to buy a separate inner container and outer shell, especially the outer shell. I don't think you can buy it. I heard from some friends that there are places for sale, but I haven't seen them yet. If you have to change the liner, you can only buy a chrome 200 and then only use the liner.
Q: I have always heard that zippo can be divided into licensed goods and parallel goods. Is there any difference between the two?
A: It's the same as licensed and parallel mobile phones. Licensed goods refer to zippo lighters that enter the China market through normal channels. Before entering, they need to pay certain customs duties, so the price of licensed goods is higher, but there is a warranty guarantee. Parallel imports are also called contraband, that is, machines smuggled into China without paying customs duties. This kind of machine can't be guaranteed locally. If there are quality problems, it can only be sent back to zippo headquarters for repair. It should be noted that parallel imports are different from imitations. The parallel zippo is real, and the imitation is fake 000005DC zippo.
Q: Which models are not easy to scratch?
A: The most common fuselage materials of A:ZIPPO are 200 (classic chrome plating), 205 (fine grinding sand), 207 (imitation of old broken flowers) and 250 (polished surface) 150 (black ice) 12 1fb (ancient silver surface), so I won't go into details on other surfaces. As for the problem of scratches, from these common surfaces, I think 207G (copper material) is the first choice, because the machine itself is floral, which covers the scratches. Followed by 12 1FB, the early effect is not good, because the paint will fall off, but after frequent use, you will find that the machine is getting newer and newer! As for what it looks like, experience it yourself! Then it is 200,205,250, 150, and finally it is about 150 black ice. I definitely can't put it down, but I don't think every buyer will put ZIPPO in your window! After a period of use, once scratches appear, because the 150 surface also belongs to the 250 polished surface, the scratches will be obvious and the original feeling will never be found. Please pay attention to the buyer.
Q: My zippo cotton core and the cotton in it have been used for a long time, and now I want to replace it. Can you use ordinary cotton thread and cotton instead?
A: We don't recommend this method. Zippo's cotton core is specially made, and the slender fiber structure ensures the stability of oil supply. Ordinary cotton thread has no such setting, and it is easy to burn the core. In addition, zippo's cotton can store more oil because of its long fiber. Of course, the use of ordinary cotton has no effect on the usual use. We still don't recommend using ordinary cotton instead, because it may leak oil.
Q: My new zippo liner is very big, 000005DC. Is there any way to adjust it?
A: Zippo people should understand the spirit of DIY. Only the machines they set up are most suitable for their own use. Loose lining is a common problem, and there are many solutions. Here are two examples: if the inner container and the outer shell are only slightly lifted in normal use and will not slide casually in the outer shell, then stick a piece of transparent glue on the narrow side of the outer shell. If you still feel loose, you can stick a piece on the other side to increase friction. This method is simple and practical, which is not obvious in normal use. If the gap is too big, the transparent glue won't work. You can find an unwanted 3.5-inch plate, take off the iron baffle on it, trim it to the same size as the inner wall of zippo, then put it on the narrow side of the hinge (putting it on the edge of the hinge will affect the closure of the upper cover, and the upper cover will easily resist the inner container), and finally fix it with any kind of glue stick.
Q: What is DIY? What does this have to do with zippo?
A: DIY means do it yourself, and when translated, do it yourself. Zippo players should understand this. Zippo has no high-tech content, but a good zippo can only be handy after its own training. We advocate the spirit of DIY, and welcome everyone to express their DIY experience.
Q: Why is my zippo flame darker than others'? Is it because I used fake oil?
A: It is possible that fake engine oil was used. Please observe carefully to see if there is black smoke. If there is still black smoke after complete combustion, it is fake engine oil. Of course, you can't tell whether the oil is true or not by the depth of the color? 000005DC Because of the "fireworks effect" of metal, the copper wire sandwiched in the cotton core will affect the color of the flame. Pulling out the copper wire inside can lighten the color of the flame. However, the depth of flame color does not affect the use.
Q: Why can't my machine hit once?
A: It may be that fake oil and fake flint were used. If this possibility is ruled out, please check your oil circuit and adjust the cotton core oil circuit in the liner to be S-shaped. In addition, don't pour too little or too much oil. Too little will make the oil supply insufficient, resulting in carbon deposition in core burning. Too much oil and gas in zippo hood will make it too much, and too small air-fuel ratio will make it difficult for lighter to strike a light.
Q: Why does my zippo lighter wear out so quickly?
Answer: Don't rub the steam wheel on pants or other hard objects, which will accelerate the wear of the steam wheel. For carbon steel, the annealing temperature is 727 degrees, and the flame temperature of zippo can't reach it, not to mention that the steam wheel is not at the top of the flame, so it is almost impossible to anneal.
Q: How to clean the surface of my zippo lighter?
A: Several common methods: gently scrub the surface of the shell with toothpaste dipped in water, or wipe it with zippo original oil, or wipe it with high-concentration medical alcohol. However, it should be noted that the first method should not be used for labeling machines to prevent rust.
Q: I couldn't tell the difference between true and false oil, so I accidentally used fake oil. Now zippo has a strong smell of kerosene. What can I do to remedy it?
A: It is common for novices to buy fake oil. The identification of true and false oil is described in detail below -000005 DC, which is not repeated here. As for the remedy, it is actually very simple. Take all the cotton out of the liner, wash it repeatedly with medical alcohol (purity 95%) until the smell of kerosene disappears, and then squeeze the cotton dry (be careful not to expose it to the sun). Then use a medical cotton ball dipped in alcohol to clean the inner wall of the liner and the inner wall of the windshield, because there will be residual fake engine oil smell here. After all the cleaning work is finished, all the machines can be installed. Attention, be sure to wait until the cotton is completely dry before loading, so as not to cause rot and turbidity. This method can completely remove the strong smell of kerosene.
Q: How to identify the authenticity of zippo?
A: The bottom of the shell has the year of production, the month (A stands for January, B stands for February) and so on. The joint on the side of the shell is broken into five channels, and there is a circular concave print on the top and bottom of the joint (precisely, the combination of two and a half gardens). The cotton at the bottom of the liner is very thick, about 0.7 cm. The pattern on Flint ZIPPO is diamond-shaped, and the screws for loading and unloading Flint can be easily unscrewed by hand or coins. False screws are rough, and sometimes a screwdriver is needed to twist them. George. Blaisdell, the founder of ZIPPO, applied for a patent for a lighter wheel made of specially developed materials. This flint wheel makes ZIPPO hit it with one blow and is durable. The fake lighter hub is easy to wear. For more information, please refer to the following Zippo identification!
Q: How to identify the authenticity of zippo special oil?
A: Real oil smells good. As for how it smells, it depends on your own experience. If you hold it in your hand, it will evaporate quickly and there will be no smell left on your hand. If it still smells like kerosene after volatilization, it is fake oil. The best way is to buy real bottles and fake bottles, and compare the tastes to understand the difference in fragrance.
Q: How to identify the authenticity of zippo cotton core?
A: Zippo cotton core contains fibers for oil transportation. When you open the cotton core, you can see that there are almost transparent filaments inside. Because the iron wire and cotton thread of the current fake cotton core are well made, it is difficult to identify them. A better way is to dip the cotton core in oil and light it, and then gently pull it out. If there is still fibrous tissue left, it is true, if it is all gray, it is false. I hope the experts can provide your appraisal method.
Q: How to identify the authenticity of zippo flint?
A: The real flint is packed in black. Flint is thick, so it won't shake back and forth after being put in zippo. The fake ones are thin and have no fixed packaging. In addition, the real flint has no impurities, so it is not difficult to strike the fire, and the fake flint often gets stuck, which seriously affects the service life of the steam turbine.
Q: The flame of my zippo is too big. Is there any way to adjust the flame? What should I pay attention to when adjusting?
Answer: The flame size is mainly regulated by the cotton core, and it is also related to the amount of oil in the machine. The relationship between cotton core and flame is that the flame of cotton core tends to be smaller than that of ignition wheel, and vice versa; The long cotton core has a large flame, whereas the flame is small. It should be noted that if it is found that the cotton core is too short during the adjustment process, to lengthen the cotton core, please remove the inner container and then adjust the cotton core inside. Never use tools to directly pull out the cotton core, so as not to destroy the fiber structure in the cotton core and affect the oil supply.
Q: What is the small hole under the felt in the inner container for?
A: That design is used to place spare flint, not a fuel filler.
