the bottom of p>Zippo has the year of manufacture.
all the products produced in p>1932-1956 were written with the word "Zippo" in block letters.
It was produced in p>1957-1976, and the "Zippo" shape was written in italics.
since p>1977, it has used the trademark modeling with flame pattern.
since 1957, all the bases of ZIPPO lighters have been engraved with marks representing the year of manufacture, which is convenient for collectors to identify. On the right side of the trademark, Roman numerals indicate the year of manufacture (II stands for 1986 and III stands for 1987), and on the left side, English letters indicate the month of manufacture (A stands for January and B stands for February). Products before that can only be identified by S number or design type. Among the above features, fake Zippo lighters are generally absent or incomplete, and the printing is also very rough. Performance, quality and appearance can't be compared with real Zippo. However, since 2, the year is 1 2, and the month is ABC ...
the p>Zippo movement uses laser lettering, so the handwriting of the movement is very clear and not rough. Because of the laser, the engraving is very shallow, so it feels smooth by hand.
At present, zippo adopts the code spraying technology in cotton core. The cotton core is wrapped with copper wire, so it is very neat and straight.
ZIPPO also has the following characteristics:
1. The bottom of the shell has the year of production, and the month A stands for January, and the month B stands for February, and so on.
2. The lateral joint of the shell is broken into five channels.
3. There is a circular gravure on the top and bottom of the joint.
4. The cotton at the bottom of the movement with the shell removed is very thick, about .7 cm.
5. The pattern on the flint is diamond.
6. The cotton thread of the wick is wrapped with copper wire, which will last a long time.
-----------. Twenty-one kinds of parts are used in lighters, and the production and manufacture need to go through 18 processes.
Some situations and solutions (or explanations) of p>ZIPPO's poor ignition. ZIPPO sometimes doesn't strike a light well for the following reasons:
1. The oil is not enough, so it must be topped up.
2. A girl's hand strength is small, so she must be strong enough to rub the steam wheel when striking a fire.
3. Sometimes, because the friction between the flint and the lighter wheel is not good, pull out the inner container, slightly lengthen the spring for screwing out the flint, and then tighten it.
4. If the cotton core is too long, just cut the exposed part of the cotton core to be flush with the middle of the lighter.
5. The cotton core in the inner container is too short or improperly placed, and the oil circuit is not smooth, so it needs to be replaced or rearranged.
6. The temperature is relatively low in winter, especially in the morning and evening, the fuel of ZIPPO can't volatilize at once, which affects the hitting rate.

is p>zippo really windproof? Why does it go out when I blow it, or is there something wrong with my zippo? Zippo is a windproof lighter, which can resist the wind speed of 14 m/s without extinguishing, equivalent to about 3 km/h. The speed of the wind blown from the mouth is dense and fast, which is much higher than this value, so it is easy to extinguish. In other words, the wind is not blown by the mouth, and it can't be blown from top to bottom. Because there is no wind falling from the sky in nature, it is a crosswind, so you can use a fan to test it after purchase. Zippo is against natural wind!
ZIPPO cotton core is black, do you need to replace it?
a: after ZIPPO is used, the cotton core will gradually turn black, which is a normal phenomenon. When the carbonization of cotton core affects the hitting rate, the cotton core can be trimmed. The method is to pull out the cotton core about 1 cm with needle-nosed pliers and cut off the carbonized part with scissors. The total length of cotton core is 115mm, and it is no problem to trim it for 5~6 times. Generally, it can be trimmed once a year, and it can be trimmed without affecting the use. So the service life of a cotton core is very long. If it is trimmed frequently, the total length of the cotton core will become shorter and shorter, and the contact area between the cotton core and the cotton in the inner container will become less and less, so a new cotton core needs to be replaced.
what can replace the cotton in the liner?
a: medical absorbent cotton.
what's the use of the small hole in the felt under the liner?
a: some machines have a small round hole in the felt, which can be used for direct oil filling or a spare flint.
what should I do if the friction of the flint wheel is small?
a: just lengthen the spring in the liner, which has obvious effect on improving the first hit rate of ZIPPO.
what should I do if the flint wheel doesn't work?
a: flint is used up, so it needs to be replaced with a new one.
how to clean p>ZIPPO liner?
a: just dip a cotton swab in ZIPPO kerosene and wipe it. Mainly to clean up the dust inside the combustion chamber and on the flint wheel.
what's with the blackening on the outside of the firewall?
a: when the flame is blown to the outside of the firewall, the firewall will burn black.
how much oil is appropriate?
a: it should not be too much. generally, you can see that the cotton surface is wet. The newly bought machine can be filled with a little more oil, just wipe up the spilled oil.
how many days will it take to fill the oil once? How long can a flint last?
a: the amount of oil and flint used varies from person to person, and there is no uniform standard. ZIPPO's oil is very volatile. If it is not used properly, it will evaporate after a while. Generally speaking, flint is replaced every 1-2 months. If you practice playing, you may need to change one in 1-2 days.
why do flames sometimes jump? Why is the lower part of the flame sometimes empty?
a: one reason is that the position of the cotton core is too close to the firewall, so it can be solved by placing the cotton core in the middle of the combustion chamber. Another reason is that we are running out of gas, so just refuel.
what should I do if the lid of p>ZIPPO is misplaced?
a: slight dislocation can be corrected by hand. Do not use too much force, otherwise the hinge will be deformed.
what if the cover shakes from side to side?
a: there is no good solution. Most machines have this problem when they leave the factory.
why are there two pits near p>ZIPPO hinge?
a: solder joint.
the flame of my zippo is too big. is there any way to adjust the flame? What should I pay attention to when adjusting?
A: the size of the flame is mainly adjusted by the cotton core, and it is also related to the amount of oil in the machine. The relationship between cotton core and flame is that the flame of cotton core tends to be smaller than that of ignition wheel, and vice versa; A long cotton core has a large flame, whereas a small flame. It should be noted that if the cotton core is found to be too short during adjustment, to lengthen the cotton core, please remove the inner container and then adjust the cotton core inside. Never pull out the cotton core directly with tools, so as to avoid damaging the fiber structure in the cotton core and affecting the oil supply.
what is an ice machine? Why isn't the black ice I bought pure black?
The so-called ice machine is called an ice machine because its paint has a good luster, and it will shine like ice when it is irradiated by light. Black ice, Lan Bing, colored ice, golden ice, sapphire blue ... Because it is a bright "ice" surface, it will reflect light, so it will "change color" in different light and different angles. For example, black ice does not mean it is black. Sometimes the light is dark and black, sometimes it is brown in the sun, and sometimes it is silver at the angle of reflection. There is also Lan Bing, where there will be changes such as dark blue, blue and purple at different angles. So it is called "discolored ice".
