Thems look gooder fr upgrading amd price. Thinking of cuting a test tube and covering it, but would need air hols at bottom. Ive seen them be used with lanterns, too.

This of course will burn just about any fuel as long as the wick can suck it up... Alcohol, lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosine, lamp oil, olive oil, any other mineral oil, synthetic as well and yes, even burnt black hard used motor oil... Only difference will the amount of soot coming off it and or smell. Maybe flame brightness will differ a bit.. Its just as simple as the oil lamp a roman legionair would have used or any peoples way, way way befor that.. just the form factor is more modern... But: treasure, not junk! Always a useful item 👍🏻

Lol I actually just got one of these……. I half thought about using the zippo fluid I have but I was like nah that’s stupid…….. he made me real nervous with putting the fuel straight in without cotton especially with that vent hole there….. I’ve set a bathroom sink on fire with a regular zippo when I over loaded it once, the dollar store sounds like a good idea….. they also sell stereo which I cooked a whole breakfast on and it worked lol

@kidoryn2 Please, what thickness of wick do I have to buy to order both things at the same time? There are for sale in 1mm, 2mm and 3mm. It seems that now they sell it without a wick. Thank you.

I've learned since I made this that you can use it without a wick and the fumes of the alcohol are what burn. But I just used a zippo wick here.

@@kidoryn2 OK thanks. But if there is no wick on, will the liquid spill when it is put in the backpack? I bought it silver and a piece of 2mm thick wick. Let's see if I'm lucky. I have read that with paraffin oil it lasts 3 times longer on fire, and paraffin does not stain, smell or smoke. We will see.

Put some cotton balls inside like a zippo lighter to save fuel and stop spills. Also, you can fill it through the "vent hole" with that Ronsonol bottle

Good video. I am especially glad you tried to light it with a ferro rod. The lighter wick works better than the one that is supposed to come with that device. And lighter fluid is pretty much Naptha, so it burnt well.

The point if alcohol is that it burns clean with no carbon monoxide emissions so it can be used indoors safely for heat or light. You cannot do that with lighter fluid.
@petrmaly90872 жыл бұрын
You can, but that requires a bit hotter flame. The real point of alcohol lamps was they were used around the time people were distilling their own alcohol at home and were left with a lot of methanol, so these lamps offered a convenient way of using it and saving money on candles and lamp oils.

A great source of inexpensive fuel is to buy gas line antifreeze at the dollar store. It's basically pure ethanol and it burns soot-free. The yellow bottle of Heet is basically the same thing. Now, you can use 91% isopropyl alcohol, but it is very sooty. If you used isopropyl and utilized this as a stove, the bottoms of your pot or pan would be completely blackened with soot.... a nasty mess.

If you are going to use a wick. Try filling it with cotton then. It absorbs the fuel and prevents spills of it is knocked over.

i got 2 of these from wish before watching your video mine came with wicks ... you can get string from hardware store and use the wire from bread ties if you strip the ties down to make wicks by twisting em to the string just make sure its proper size ive done this for yrs with various wicks the wire works good to hold em together if its cotton string only use cotton ... lolz ... ive seen old timers take cotton balls appart and use the bread ties to hold it together to make a wick also but string lasts longer in my opinion as its braded to reenforce bread tie also makes it easier to feed through the hole if you wrap it thanks for video guy .... :-)
