that comment on the zippo was amazing, i never knew that. i actually jumped up and grabbed my zippo, which is notorious for not lighting on the first light, and tested the theory, and it worked.

The latest Peanut lighters have a recess groove for the o-ring to ride on, and is completely tucked away when the cap is screwed on. Copies have the O-ring partially explosed and when subjected to environmental conditions the waterproofness tends to be short lived. My only peeve is that the inserts could have been more snug, threaded could be better, especially if its carried upside down or on its side more often than right side up.

I wouldn't say Zippos slowly dry out; mine are dead if I leave them alone for a day.
@gamerjoe2210 жыл бұрын
You're not putting enough fluid in then. I'm a smoker and a filled zippo will last me 3-5 days of use, before It's completely empty.
@gamerjoe2210 жыл бұрын
***** The time it takes for the fluid to dry out will also depend on the humidity in the area you live in. I live in a very dry area so a full zippo dosint last long.

Bought the peanut lighter and loved it so much I bought another for my boyfriend. But, the prices have changed dramatically...the peanut lighter is around $30. But I'd prefer to have the real deal and not a knock off, and hopefully Countycomm will stand behind their product so if I have any trouble with the lighter down the road I'll get good customer service.

Many gas tanks have a funnel shaped screen in the filling tube for the purposes of filtering what goes in the gas tank (and preventing siphoning). The idea of "tying a string to this and dunking it in your gas tank" might now work. Don't count on doing that in an emergency unless you KNOW that your gas tank does not have a filter screen in the filler tube.

oh ok, well thats true...whenn I 1st got the peanut lighter I oput it on my keys, about a week later I went to take the keys out of the ignition ina rush and I grabbed the lighter when I pulled on it the split ring ebhnd out verfy easily..so it was no longer usable...I replaced it with a small piece of cord, not 550, it woudlnt fit, the cord wasnt very reliable...and I lost the lighter in the driveway...true story...

You struggled to get a good spark from the smallest one, which made me wonder that there actually isn't enough room for the flint, spring and screw, am i right? The spring must be terribly short, which may become a problem when the flint gets short and the spring should stretch to give pressure. I have the original one as a keychain backup thing that i don't much use for real but it's nice to have and is a cute toy lighter.

Nice! I am definitely going to buy one of these. I don't like my zippo because it doesn'y stay lit if you turn it sideways too much so I can't smoke a bowl with it :(. And I don't like bringing it anywhere because I don't want to lose a $40 lighter. But this is perfect, because it attaches to a key chain, and will probably light a bowl better :)

Sorry to hear abotu your problem, try this, once filled leave it closed and upside down against somethgin so it wont fall over, leave it for an hour to make sure the fluid inside is beign soaked up by the wick exposed at the top, hopfully gravity will do its part to get it started, then try it...

@enjoythewildUSA15 жыл бұрын
I had many problems with mine. The wick fails very quickly. While the steel shell is very tough, my O-ring failed quickly. This allows the fuel to evaporate very quickly. This is not a good piece of surival equipment. The flame goes out very quickly in any wind, particularly once the wick begins to degrade. I loved this when I first got it in the mail but realized after about two weeks that it is not as reliable as billed. I'm back to Swedish firesteel for the trail.
@totallyfrozen11 жыл бұрын
It's the same design as a Zippo. In fact, the manufacturer basically stole the Zippo design, and put it in a small case with an O-ring. A Zippo wick will most likely work but you may have to cut it short, of course.

Fast forward to 2020...Exotac Titan Light! Same principle just bigger. I love the things. Zippo needs to get in the game and make a BIG one, with a huge reservoir.
@Matityahu-the-God3 жыл бұрын
Zippo just needs to diversify more in general. I think they're seriously ignoring just how desperate we are for products from trusted them. If zippo made something like the exotac, and the split pea as well, they'd make a killing. Most of us are weary of buying one of these due to fears of bad quality, but we know and trust Zippo.
@tikkidaddy3 жыл бұрын
@@Matityahu-the-God Agreed. I think Zippo could make the highest quality peanut style lighter that would hold more fluid, but they make more money on fluid, flints and wicks than they do the actual lighter😂the Exotac really cuts fluid use way down compared to Zippo, and fluid is $80 a gallon now😂😂

I see there are fat O rings on the lighters -- not at all like mine from county -- the original O rings were so thin they not only didnt keep the fuel from evaporating , they disintegrated after a few uses.. If you get some fat O rings - I mean even fatter than the ones in the video so that the cap butts up against it - dont screw too tightly or youll cut right through it - but this is better than the mere friction fit it comes with.
