Awesome Vintage Style and Use

Awesome lighter. Honestly something that will last many many years, if taken care of! Sturdy and effective! The match takes some practice learning the striking technique but once you get it down it lights rather easily. The regular striker and wick light up every time with ease. It comes with the spare flints, but they are the same size as the ones Bic lighters use. This means that just like a Zippo, you can take a empty Bic lighter, rip out the top, and use the remaining flint from it.Ver más

Nice Dunhill Lift Arm type lighter

Very cool dunhill type lighter. The lift arm functions perfect almost every time. I've had one bad close out of about 30 so far. The match function is OK, you have to scrape away a bit before it'll spark. Easy to light one handed, and fits on your hand nicely. Definitely worth the price especially if you don't want to dish out real vintage money for a similar type. Seems to hold fluid well, comes with some spare parts, extra wick, flint, etc. Was able to get an old zippo working with the extra parts which was nice. The finish is very nice as well.My only wish is there was a variant without the match, or a way to plug it and do without, but regardless it's quite nice, especially for the price.Ver más

Actually pretty neat

I collect Zippos and similar lighters.I ordered this kind of on a whim, and it’s honestly way better than I expected. It’s hefty (for its size), feels pretty well made, functions great, and shows no signs of leaking (or even evaporating, to any real extent) fuel.I like it a lot.Ver más

Looks good, functions well. Read the review for necessary tips.

This Is a neat little lighter. The flints that come with work really well. I had some name brands just in case. There are two things that people’s really should adhere to make this lighter/ permanent match work to its fullest. 1. Use a quality lighter fluid. I tried the kerosene oil. Same as you’d put in those hurricane store oil lamps in. It was to hard to light the lighter and I couldn’t get the match to start in its own. 2. When it comes to the permanent match and lighting it. You need to go slower than you’d think with the strike. The match head will out run the sparks if you go to fast and it won’t light. The paper that it came with did say go at an angle and go slow. That’s exactly what needs to be done. With a premium lighter fluid and the going slow with the match it takes me no more than 2 strikes to get the lighter and the match lite. It does take s as little patience at first, if you don’t have patience this is not for you. If you do this lighter will come in handy, for me it sights on my dresser next to candles and some hippie incense that I like to burn.Oh btw the fluid will evaporate and not light after 3-4 days I’ve noticed. I put about 1’/3 full maybe more and that seems to work for me.Ver más

Great look, poor performance

I love the look of it, but functionally it's just about useless. I've had it for a little over 2 months now, and it's been able to light maybe 3 times. Sometimes the flint will create a great spark but the wick doesn't catch, most of the time the flint won't even produce a spark. I've tried tightening and loosening the knob that holds the spring pressing the striker rod against the flint wheel, and both actions have had mixed success at producing a consistent spark. The match is interesting, it can pretty consistently produce a good spark, but it literally only actually produced a flame today for the first time.I really want to like this lighter, but it's really just become a paperweight/shelf decoration. If anyone has any recommendations for making it work, I'd love to know.Ver más

IT WORKS! Leaked from Top While Filling.

Just received yesterday. I like the lighter, my new favorite, but I only gave it 3 Stars because it leaked fuel from the top when I was filling it, so, I don't anticipate the fuel will last very long, will evaporate quickly if it isn't air-tight. Below is my detailed assessment of the lighter (pros and cons):1) It was packaged in a tin container. I could not get the lid off the tin container. Finally I used a silicone jar gripper to hold the bottom while I pried the top off with my fingers. Whew!2) I like the weight of it. It feels like brass, so I'm hoping it is and that it will last for generations.3) The little tool that came with the lighter worked great to turn the bottom screws without using a screw driver. I put that on the key ring of my small Zippo EDC fuel canister. It also came with instructions, an extra wick, 2 extra flints and 2 extra O-rings, although I'm not sure where the O-rings go? That wasn't in the instructions.4) As I held the lighter upside down to fill it with lighter fuel, the fuel was leaking out the top. Was I suppose to put extra O-rings at the top so fuel would not leak from the top? Already I can tell the lighter is not air-tight and fuel will evaporate fairly quickly. I wiped off all the leaked fuel and let it sit for awhile for any extra fuel to evaporate before lighting. Only need to wait 2 minutes but I waited longer for cotton and wicks to absorb the fuel.5) When turning the flint striker wheel clockwise (to my right), I could not get it to light, no flame. I turned it around backwards and tried it and I got a flame. Ah-hah! Is that a Chinese thing or a safety thing that it only lights when wheel is turned counterclockwise (to my left)? Lights every time when I turn the wheel counterclockwise (left). Never works when I turn the wheel clockwise (right).6) I read a review (different lighter) that the side striker was coated, so I expected that I would need to strike the permanent match several times before it would ignite, and sure enough, I had to strike it several times before I got a spark. Once I started to get sparks, it lite fairly easily, although I haven't got it to light on the first strike yet. I like the permanent match though. The flame is really high and I considered trimming the wick, but, I don't want to risk the spark not igniting the wick if it were smaller? Anyway, in the another review, it said not to leave the permanent match burning to long, so I put it out right away.7) More about the tin container packaging. I can re-use a tin container, but not a box, so I like that the package material is re-usable, but, I'll need to add a silicone jar gripper to my EDC if I use it for EDC. My hands are getting weaker with age, so a silicone jar gripper is good for me to add to my EDC list.8) I did all my testing in the kitchen over the sink, just in case the lighter caught on fire. Now that I tested it, and everything works, I am comfortable using it elsewhere in the house.

Fantastic!

I love this! It works well. I will say the match for some reason does not. With that said, I've lost one, still have one and would absolutely buy another!
