1, weight
Really? Zippo is generally lighter than imitations. Is this because it is fake? Zippo lighters are made of steel or iron, aren't they? Zippo special material; Some illegal manufacturers have increased the thickness of the shell
2 in pursuit of hard shell, to see the heat resistance of the flame
? Zippo imitations emit smoke when burning, and the flames are flickering, and the whole fuselage is on fire in less than 4 minutes. And really? Zippo lighters burn until the fuel runs out and will not ignite the fuselage. This is because the fake Zppo rigid cover is too thick and the heat dissipation effect is poor; The oil storage cotton core in the machine is of poor quality and easy to leak oil.
3. Will the windproof ability
be true or false? Zippo is placed at a distance of 4 cm from the electric fan. When the electric fan is turned on to the maximum wind force, the flame of the real Zippo lighter can't be blown out. And fake? Zippo lighter was blown out when the electric fan only turned on the minimum wind. Is this true? The windproof wall of Zippo lighter is high; The design of vent hole is scientific and reasonable; Special wick absorbs oil well.
There are the following differences between imitation and genuine:
1. Appearance: genuine? There is a circular concave print on the hinge of Zippo lighter, which is difficult to be exactly the same on the imitation and can be used as a basis for judgment.
2, quality: imitation is generally better than the real thing? Zippo is heavier. This is because imitations are made of low-grade steel or iron materials, and the shell thickness has to be increased to ensure hardness, so they are heavier than the real ones. Open the top cover of the lighter, and you can easily see that the shell thickness of the imitation is much larger than the real one.
3. Windshield: Compared with two identical machines, the gaps on both sides of the imitation windshields are different in width, some are wider and some are narrower, while the gaps on both sides of the windshields of the same type of liner are the same.
4, strike the fire wheel:? Zippo's lighter wheels have been patented in terms of design and materials, and made of special materials into special patterns, which ensures that enough sparks can be shot at one time and are durable. The texture on the lighter wheel is inclined from right to left, and the lower layer is from left to right, and the texture is clear.
Generally, imitations have only one layer of texture or the texture is reversed and unclear, and even some imitations use the horizontal stripes of disposable lighters.
5. Rivets: The rivets at the ignition wheel and cam of the genuine liner are white, while the imitations are generally yellow. The seats for fixing the genuine flint are made of copper, so they are all yellow, and the seats for imitation are generally plated with silver together.
Extended information
zippo lighters can be identified by the following methods:
1. Appearance: there is a circular gravure on the hinge of the genuine zippo lighter, which is difficult to do on imitations;
2, quality: imitation is heavier than the genuine zippo lighter. This is because imitations are made of
low-grade steel or iron materials, and the shell thickness has to be increased to ensure hardness, so they are heavier than the real ones. Open the top cover of the lighter, we can see that the shell thickness of the imitation is much larger than that of the real one;
3. Windshield: Compared with two identical machines, the gaps on both sides of the imitation windshields are different in width, some are wider and some are narrower, while the gaps on both sides of the windshields of the same type of liner are the same;
4. Spark wheel: The spark wheel of zippo lighter has been patented in terms of design and materials, and made of special materials into special patterns, which ensures that enough sparks can be shot at one time and it is durable. The texture on the lighter wheel is that the upper layer inclines from right to left and the lower layer inclines from left to right, and the texture is clear. The imitation has only one layer of texture or the texture is reversed and unclear. Some imitation lighter wheels use the horizontal stripes.
5. Rivets: The rivets at the ignition wheel and cam of the genuine liner are white, while the imitation is yellow. The seat for fixing the genuine flint is made of copper, so it is yellow, and the seat for imitation is plated with silver;
6. cotton pad: the cotton pad of the genuine zippo lighter is very thick, which can be as thick as .7cm under normal circumstances, and the imitation is impossible;
7. Flint: The screws for loading and unloading flint for genuine products can be easily unscrewed by hand or coins, but the screws for imitation products often need a screwdriver to be screwed. The genuine flint and the holder under the flint are all gold, and the surface of the joint is very flat, while the imitation is gray.
8, cotton balls: the genuine zippo lighter cotton balls are five small pieces, and the imitation is a whole piece.
9. Flame: When the counterfeit product burns, it emits blue smoke, and the flame flickers on and off, and the whole fuselage is completely on fire in less than 4 minutes. And the real thing will not 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.
