The real Zippo will feel astringent when it is first lit without full oil. The reason is that flint is new, and flint friction produces not small sparks, but clusters of flames, which is one of the reasons why Zippo hit it with one blow. After refueling, the ignition is basically a dozen, and the flame is very stable.

There are great differences between them, as follows:

1, different undercut

(1) The top flame of the letter "I" of Zippo is two small flames when carefully observed;

(2) The first symbol in the middle of the bottom line of letters should be: ","comma;

(3) 3) The registration sign "?"in the upper right corner of Zippo. It is deeply embedded, not embossed, and the letter "R" can hardly be seen.

(5) In the five letters of 5)ZIPPO, the three raised points in the middle of PPO are connected into a line, and the height of these three points will not exceed the tail of the small flame behind the letter Z;

(6) The date and year of lettering (A stands for 65438+ 10 month, B stands for February, C stands for March, and so on) are fonts with the same letter size as the bottom line. For example, the letter "D" of "D ZIPPO 08" and the number "08" belong to the font with the same size as the bottom: "Made in America".

2, hinge identification is different

The conventional model of genuine zippo hinge is five shackles, three narrow and two thick, which generally protrude from the fuselage about 1.5 mm, and the rollers are 0.5 mm away from both ends of the hinge. Seen from the inside of the fuselage, there is a dotted line at the joint of the upper and lower pieces of the hinge. When lifting the lid, the upper and lower dotted lines will be trained into a straight line, but the imitation is generally not made. The solder joints above and below the hinge are not regular prototypes, and the size of each solder joint is different.

3, the liner is different

There are many scratches on the surface of genuine liner, even some of them are dirty, and many of them are scratches left during processing. The inner container of the knockoffs is mostly made of chrome-plated iron plate, and the surface is very bright. The specific differences are as follows:

(1) The flint wheel on the genuine zippo liner has obvious concave radiation, while the liner of the general cottage product is not deep even if it has radiation;

(2) The edge of the genuine liner shrapnel is flat, the incision is smooth, and the bottom of the shrapnel protrudes downward by about1mm.. The edge of the shrapnel of the cottage machine is blurred, especially some shrapnel has burrs;

(3) The cotton pad of genuine liner is white (partially orange), and the font is very clear, mostly with three lines, and the flint hole is located in the center.

4. Is there an anti-counterfeiting code?

You can find the anti-counterfeiting sticker outside the lighter box, scrape off the coating and get the 20-digit anti-counterfeiting code. ※.

If there is no such label on the outside of the lighter box you bought, your lighter may not be officially produced. ※. Please contact the merchant you purchased for a second confirmation.

The new version of anti-counterfeiting code sticker was launched in March 2007. Due to inventory reasons, new and old packaging will be listed in the near future. ※.
