2. Appearance: The genuine product looks exquisite, and the new product is generally flawless. The rivets at the ignition wheel and cam of genuine liner are white, and the fake ones are generally yellow.
3, feel: authentic Zippo generally feels lighter, because Zippo is a special material, other imitations can't do it.
4. Sound: Genuine Zippo will have a very crisp sound when it pops open the lid (except for products with veneers).
5. Ignition: Authentic Zippo will feel astringent when ignited for the first time without oil, because flint is a new reason, and flint friction is not a small spark, but a cluster of fires, which is one of the reasons why Zippo became an instant hit. It will be ignited after refueling, and the flame is very stable. There are two stripes on the side of genuine zippo striking wheel cutting flint, the stripes on the upper layer are diagonal lines from upper right to lower left, the stripes on the lower layer are diagonal lines from upper left to lower right, and the stripes on the right side of striking wheel are radial from the center to all around. (This is the lighter wheel of zippo at this stage. There used to be straight lines and twill. ) the flint holder under the steam turbine is really brass, and the fake one is often silvery white.
6.Logo: Genuine Zippo shell and liner bottom have product logo. The logo at the bottom of the shell introduces the production time and other information of the product.
7, cotton pad: genuine Zippo cotton pad is very thick, generally up to 0.7cm thick, generally imitation is impossible, there is a 1mm hole on the cotton pad, and some friends say it is oiled from there, but it is actually for spare flint. .
8, cotton balls: genuine Zippo cotton balls are 4-5 small pieces, not a whole imitation.
9. Windproof: Genuine Zippo has strong windproof ability, but don't try other ways. On the surface of the experiment, many domestic products are no less windproof than Zippo^_^
10, the inside of Zippo shell is not polished, not smooth and even looks dirty. This is because Zippo pursues firmness and durability, so it doesn't clean the inner shell, while some fake inner shells are smooth instead.
Other considerations:
(1) The bottom of the shell has the production year and month, where A stands for January, B stands for February, and so on.
(2) The transverse seam of the shell is divided into five channels.
(3) There are circular intaglios on the top and bottom of the joint.
(4) Shelling ~ The cotton at the bottom of the movement is very thick, about 0.7 cm.
(5) The pattern on the flint is diamond.
(6) The cotton thread of the wick is wrapped with copper wire, which will take a long time.
(real ZIPPO screws for loading and unloading flint can be easily unscrewed by hand or coin. False screws are rough, and sometimes a screwdriver is needed to twist them.
The ignition wheel of 8)ZIPPO is made of specially developed materials, Mr. George. Blaisdell, the founder of ZIPPO, applied for a patent for this. The manufacture of this lighter
ZIPPO hits it with one blow and is durable. The fake lighter hub is easy to wear.
