Zippo

Sure

Im not sure but it must cost a lot

It stands for the month of the year it was manufactured.


A for January b for Feb and so on

No, it will brutally explode in your face. And you will die.

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.

yes they are. infact this year is their 75th year of manufacturing of zippo lighters.

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).

take 2 pliers and pull back the thing attached to the wheel but why would you?

what im sure youre looking for is vm&p naphtha. try ace hardware's or any other store carrying Coleman brand camping fluid, zippo lighter fluid, or ronsonol lighter fluid. its not terribly hard to find if you actually know what youre looking for and can avoid appearing as a drug user (for which this is widely used).

now go forth, and extract something great.

Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.

I wouldn't recommend it because the lighter fluid is just a liquid and the normal jet lighter fuel is a compressed gas. Having the gas compressed forces the gas out with the perfect amount of pressure. If you just put a liquid in it, it will just sit there and not do anything; maybe if you pressurize it and then make it into a fine mist when it comes out then it might work, but it wouldn't be too practical because it would be cheaper to buy butane than mod your lighter.

In 1979 an error was made in the date code. One of the slash marks

was removed from the left of the Zippo trademark instead of being

removed from the right; thus the code read: / //. This date code error

was corrected within the same year to read: // /

Effective July 1, 1986 the dot and slash system was replaced by year /

month code. Year is noted with Roman numeral; letter designates month

(A=January, B=February, etc.)

Beginning in 2001, the Roman numerals indicating the year were

replaced with numbers corresponding to the last digits of the year

of manufacture.

in Australia, you can be any age to buy Zippo lighter fluid.

im 14, and so is my boyfriend, and we bought a zippo and zippo fluid yesterday,

so all good.

if you throw it at the ground hard enough it will explode otherwise all it can do for you is make a spark..... save it for when u get lost in the wilderness ?

During the 2007 75th anniversary celebrations, Zippo sold a near mint 1933 model for $37,000.

You can buy it at most grocery stores and convenience stores (it will be behind the counter) or any cigar or smoke shop.

All depends on how old it is and how good of condition it is in, but a brand new zippo usually sells anywhere from 19.99-29.99 for a regular one, but zippo blues are selling all the way up to 60 dollars.

well really it depends on oh much you use it but im sayin maybe bout 2 weeks

Well, honey, technically rubbing alcohol will work in a Zippo, but it's not the best choice. It burns a bit dirty and can leave a residue that might mess with the lighter's mechanism. If you're in a pinch, go for it, but I'd recommend using lighter fluid for a smoother, more reliable burn.

To start fires.

First you need to identify which type of fuel cartridge you need. You can determine this by looking inside the cap you screwed off to expose the fill valve. The inside of the cap will be color coded red, gold, blue, or green. Use a Dupont refill cartridge of the corresponding color. You can refuel a Dupont lighter using a steady hand and a regular butane cannister, but I don't recommend it. I broke the valve on one of mine that way after successfully refueling it for over a year. I was traveling a lot, and had a hard time finding Dupont fuel cartridges, so I got in the practice of using whatever butane I could find. Don't do this. Even if you've got practice at it, you'll probably break your lighter eventually and they're expensive to fix. There are metal screw-in adapters available, which will work just fine, too. Again, these are coded as to the type of lighter indicated by the color under the fill cap.

So, once you have either a metal adapter or a Dupont cartridge that fits your lighter, remove the fill cap, lightly press down on the valve stem to release any remaining gas and air which may have leaked in, and then firmly screw in either the gas cartridge or the adapter. If you're using a gas cartridge, simply let it sit until the cartridge is visibly empty, and then quickly unscrew the cartridge. The cartridges are single use, and your lighter is now refueled. If you're using an adapter, use a butane can with a cone shaped plastic sleeve over the valve stem, and press firmly against the hole in the adapter. Fill until butane begins to leak around plastic sleeve, remove the butane can and quickly unscrew the adapter. Some people recommend freezing the lighter first, by placing it in the freezer for several minutes. The theory is that a cold lighter will allow a larger amount of fuel in before the pressure balances against the remainders in the cartridge. I haven't found this to actually give any benefit. If more fuel is successfully transferred to the lighter this way, it's a very small amount and doesn't make a significant difference.

When refueling, it's also a good time to check your flint. Running a flint too short can result in pushing the flint ram against the striker and cutting a groove in the flint ram. It'll still work after you've damaged the ram in that way, but it's a preventable bit of damage and really annoying should you accidentally do so.

If it is a case lighter (that is a Zippor or Ronson) that is unfilled, you are able to purchase it at any age. The hazardous materials act of your state will give you information about purchasing lighter fluid or disposable lighters in your state. It is not illegal to own a case lighter, it is just illegal to own the materials to make it work.
