Is there an age limit to buying aerosols?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In general, there is no specific age limit for buying aerosols, as they are commonly used products. However, some stores or local regulations may have age restrictions in place due to potential misuse of aerosols as inhalants by minors. It's always best to check with the store or local laws in your area.

Can you use lighter fluid in tiki torch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would definitely not recommend it. Stick with Zippo or Ronson lighter fluid. To be honest, I'm not sure if it would work, probably would, but you don't want to be sucking in those fumes, even in small amounts.

Can you take lighter fluid from one lighter and put it in a zippo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

im not sure if you mean taking the fluid from a regular lighter and putting that into a zippo or just simply zippo to zippo but I'll answer both.

I wouldn't recomend putting normal butane lighter fluid into a zippo because it runs out really fast and makes the flame far too big to be practical.

if you want to change fuel from one zippo to another simply remove the insert, peel back the first felt layer, take out the cotton from inside and putting that cotton into the other zippo.

hope that helped :)

Will Deodorant work in a zippo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, deodorant burns to quickly it'll probably explode or just completely incinerate the wick. if your zippo is of any value, and if it's a genuine one it should be, or if you value your zippo at all you won't put anything in it except for genuine zippo fuel it's pretty cheap anyway.

Could you use alcohol as a substitute to zippo lighter fluid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, vodka (at 40% alcohol) has too much water in it. Everclear (75%) may work and everclear @ 95% will work the best. It still won't light as easily as zippo fluid but it'll work; if not, let your zippo dry out and you'll be all set to try something else.

Does zippo lighter take the same lighter fluid as a bic lighter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Bic lighters -- and most other throwaway lighters -- use butane gas, which liquefies under modest pressure. When struck, the pressure tank is opened and the butane vaporizes and travels through a small orifice, or jet, to the spark wheel. Zippos, of course, use a naphtha-based liquid lighter fluid and a woven textile wick, which conducts the fluid to the spark wheel.

Why won't my Zippo light?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your question is a bit ambiguous. I would say first, add fluid, make sure the fluid has soaked into the cotton, and keep the lid shut for a min before lighting. If that does not work then I would suggest moving the wick to the flint, this can be done by using a key and pushing the cotton-metal wick towards the spark end of the zippo. Suppose that does not work... you can always purchase zippo parts from a cigar shop and they will be more than willing to help you if you buy a pack of smokes from them! Last case buy a cheap zippo and put the center pice into yours... it will work fine and you will have your zippo art with a genuine zippo center!

Remember if you have a problem with your official zippo, then they all have a lifetime guarantee, so you can always send it back to your regional zippo centre.

Is it safe to light fireworks with a zippo lighter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, in fact that would be a a suitable substitute. Probably much better than mineral spirits or gasoline, as those two products are extremely flammable and much more volatile that zippo fluid. Whatever you decide to use just be cautious when you strike a match to it so you can be around to enjoy your BBQ. Most flammable liquids are way more explosive than zippo fluid. Also, make sure all the coals are completely red before you begin cooking anything. That way the residue from whatever you use will have had a chance to burn away.

Can you fill a creme brulee torch with lighter fluid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not usually.

Most creme brulee torches use pressurized butane gas as the fuel. This is the same as your regular BIC dollar lighter. It's the most common and cheapest, stored in aerosol cans.

But more expensive petroleum fluids, such as Zippo or other naphtha fluid commonly using in camping stoves, and gasoline are not compatible with a creme brulee torch.

Can you take zippo lighter on plane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the TSA website (TSA.gov) lighters are permitted under special circumstances. You can bring a lighter on in your CARRY-ON baggage. Lighters that are unfilled/unfueled are allowed in your CHECKED baggage, but filled/fueled are not allowed unless in a special case (this is because prefilled lighters, such as a bic, can explode in the unpressurized underbelly of the plane, while the cabin is pressurized, which would prevent rupture).

now go forth, and extract something great.
