1. Flame:

When the counterfeit product burns, it emits green smoke, and the flame flickers on and off. The entire fuselage is completely burned within 4 minutes of burning. The real thing will not ignite the fuselage even if the fuel is exhausted. Because the imitation steel cover is too thick, the heat dissipation effect is poor; the oil storage cotton core inside the machine is of poor quality and is prone to oil leakage.

2. Quality:

Imitation products are heavier than genuine zippo lighters. This is because imitations are made of low-grade steel or iron materials. In order to ensure the hardness, the thickness of the casing has to be increased, so they are heavier than the real thing. Open the upper cover of the lighter, and you can see that the thickness of the counterfeit case is much larger than the genuine one;

3. Windproof cover:

Comparing two identical machines, the counterfeit windproof cover The width of the gaps on both sides is inconsistent, some are wider and some are narrower, while the width of the gaps on both sides of the genuine windshield of the same type of liner is the same.

4. Sparkler:

The zippo lighter's sparkler has applied for patents from design to material. It is made of special materials and has a special pattern to ensure that it can produce enough light at one time. of Mars and durable. The texture on the spark wheel is that the upper layer is sloping from right to left, and the lower layer is from left to right, and the texture is clear. The imitation has only one layer of texture or the texture is reversed and unclear.

Notes when using zippo:

1. Do not open the lid and drop the lighter on the ground.

This is the most damaging situation to zippo. Not only on hard ground, but also on softer surfaces, the upper cover of the lighter can easily fall off. If it falls accidentally, you can only gently push it to the normal position with your hands, or use needle-nose pliers to straighten it at the hinge (appropriate strength is required to avoid damage to the hinge due to excessive force).

2. Do not open and close the upper cover horizontally.

Opening and closing the upper cover laterally will cause the hinge part to be subjected to forces that should not be received normally, especially for novices who are not fast enough when practicing, cannot control the strength well, have slightly different directions, and practice for a long time. It is easy to cause the upper cover to become crooked.

3. Do not hold the upper cover and continuously swing the lighter to open and close.

The weight of the zippo is mainly concentrated on the inner liner, which is the lower part. The most vulnerable part of the zippo is the hinge, so shaking the lower opening and closing lighter can easily cause the hinge to open and weld. .
