my zippo's out of fuel and i don't want to go out and buy zippo fuel when i have something at home that might work. i have tiki torch fuel. would that work? zippos and tiki torches seem to work the same way so i assume it would but i don't want to risk blowing something up or starting a fire or anything like that.
a zippo is so simple that it will burn anything. Frankly, it even works on deodrant.. and yes, thats fromexperience. So anything that if flamible will work, from petrol to alcoholic airsprays. Even high concentrated alcohols will work. Just try it out..
surely thats exactly what you want to do? btw. they'll even burn petrol, though i wouldnt advise it as it smells terrible and you'll need to replace the felt bit inside before putting anything else in it
I would just go and get zippo fuel. It will be easier than having to get and fit a new wick in a couple of weeks time.
Personally I use all those cheap woolworths miniature aftershave bottles people give me at christmas because they don't know what the heck I want lol
Great idea dire wolf. Cheap manky aftershave as lighter fuel...don't know why I never thought of that
you guys think liquid flux would work? im mean.. its deffinately flammable (again.. experience.. youd should see my desk)
well i tried something but it didn't catch froma spark but then i found something that did. how would i get the non-veryflammable stuff out of it? would something bad happen if i took the felt out?
Just use Swan lighter fuel works a treat and is cheaper than zippo fuel. Regards GiGo PS dont light up after useing said cheap aftershave, the pain, it burns....
It comes out in a block so you can just whack it back in once all the stuff has evaporated. The fuse is kind of worked through the wadding stuff.
alternate fuel -i used deodorant and it took a long time before it turned on fire but later i used nail polish remover and it worked great!
