When the imitation burns, it emits blue smoke and the flame flickers on and off. The whole fuselage caught fire in less than 4 minutes. And the real thing won't ignite the fuselage until the fuel runs out. Because the imitation steel cover is too thick, the heat dissipation effect is poor; The oil storage cotton core in the machine is of poor quality and easy to leak oil.
2. Quality:
The imitation is heavier than the genuine zippo lighter. This is because the imitation is made of low-grade steel or iron, and the shell thickness needs to be increased to ensure the hardness, so it is heavier than the real one. Open the top cover of the lighter, and you can see that the shell thickness of the imitation is much larger than the real one;
3. Windshield:
Comparing two identical machines, the gap width on both sides of the imitation windshield is different, some are wider and some are narrower, while the gap width on both sides of the windshield of the same type of liner is the same.
4, steam wheel:
The ignition wheel of zippo lighter has been patented from design to material, and made of special materials with special patterns, which ensures that enough sparks can be emitted at one time and is durable. The texture on the lighter wheel is that the upper layer is inclined from right to left and the lower layer is from left to right, and the texture is clear. The imitation has only one layer of texture or the texture is not clear.
Extended data
Use zippo need to pay attention to:
First, don't open the lid and drop the lighter.
This is the biggest damage to zippo. Not only on the hard ground, but also on the soft surface, the upper cover of the lighter is easy to fall off. If you accidentally fall sideways, you can only gently break it to the normal position by hand, or clamp it at the hinge with needle-nosed pliers (it is required to use appropriate force to avoid damaging the hinge with excessive force).
Second, don't open and close the upper cover horizontally.
Opening and closing the upper cover through the lateral buckle will cause the hinge part to receive forces that should not be received at ordinary times, especially when beginners practice, the speed is not fast enough, the strength is not well mastered, and the direction is slightly different, and long-term practice will easily lead to the upper cover becoming crooked.
Third, don't hold the top cover and shake the lighter continuously.
The weight of zippo is mainly concentrated in the inner container, that is, the lower part, and the weakest part of zippo is the hinge part, so it is easy to cause the hinge part to open and close the lighter.
