I bought a junior recently (Austrian original) but find that it heats up significantly and rather quickly. I also find that unscrewing the "candle" section is not too easy, especially as the external metal frame gets so hot. I love the aesthetics of the design though!
my cousin brought me one over 20 years ago and i still have it ,i dont recall how well it was working when new but now i am having trouble with it,i put some lamp oil or kerosene(perhaps i should not have done this) because i did not have any lighter fluid,,but i put in a new zippo flint stone and got some zippo fluid and put some inside,problem is when i come to light it i do not always get sparking on the first try ,you actually have to put certain pressure on it to get a spark now and also the spark is not hitting the wick at the correct height,i actually have to bring the fuel cartridge out of the housing about 1/4" down for it to strike and light properly,,also it hurts my hand every time i keep trying to light it because it has a sharp 90 deg corner on the bottom base where my palm goes for holding it while lighting ,, if i use my bic to light it then close it and try again it will light but only because it's warm and has drawn up some fuel in the wick but after a while it no longer works,perhaps it is going dry too fast from those air holes?,,i do not think this is very good engineered lighter but when it works it is nice and everyone one asks me where i got it from,they love it ,at work i went out for a smoke at night with the guys and as soon as they heard the flick and saw a light they realized this was no zippo and then asked me what the hell kind of lighter is that,even before they actually saw it they knew from the sound and light that it was something different,they all love it ,good talking piece and perhaps a collector item now,i love how you can pull out the cartridge and use it as a candle with it's stable base and it provides a big flame ,i did not think of that until recently when i got this lighter out of my drawer and tried to bring it back to life it is working now but i have to strike it several times to get it lit,perhaps the sheet metal construction has creeped out of place and this is why im having problems or could be the fuel or the tip of the wick may need to be blunted to catch sparks? i also brought out my old zippo that another cousin gave me and i had a bit of problems to get it going but it works now right away and is better than the imco,it lights right away with a slight flick ,,idk why you say it wont hold fuel for long,i believe it lasted over a month but imco is very unique nice lighter and i will treasure it
How close do you think the IMCO Triplex super 6700 comes to the Junior 6600. I like the small of a burning Triplex super 6700, it reminds me of old engines.
Thank you for loving the comment, Do you have a IMCO Triplex super 6700. it looks similar the Junior 6600 and it works very well as a lighter and as a candle.
IMCO lighters has ventilation cutouts for the flame, same as the Zippo, but in the IMCO they're exposed, which significantly evaporates the fuel quicker.. Also the IMCO has way too much rivets in it's mechanism, which makes it harder to maintain, unlike the Zippo that has one rivet for the flint wheel
That's total nonsense as with the imco there is a cap that automatically covers the wick. A Zippo has to be refueled at LEAST one a week while imcos can go for several weeks with one refueling.
@@Wuchtamsel I realized that the imco i had, didn't have the cap.. I got it used from a friend. Maybe that's why he gave it to me.. I refueled almost daily and thought it was the worst design ever for a lighter
loving this lighter ... i own a zippo collection ... but they are nothing in front of this ... this kind of lighter makes me feel vintage
And much more cheaper than a zippo.
This video sent me back in time 45 years!
I like these lighters more than Zippos too.
Claus-L. Müller I love them both but this one has the edge

You don't unscrew it, you just pull it out dude.

if i use my bic to light it then close it and try again it will light but only because it's warm and has drawn up some fuel in the wick but after a while it no longer works,perhaps it is going dry too fast from those air holes?,,i do not think this is very good engineered lighter but when it works it is nice and everyone one asks me where i got it from,they love it ,at work i went out for a smoke at night with the guys and as soon as they heard the flick and saw a light they realized this was no zippo and then asked me what the hell kind of lighter is that,even before they actually saw it they knew from the sound and light that it was something different,they all love it ,good talking piece and perhaps a collector item now,i love how you can pull out the cartridge and use it as a candle with it's stable base and it provides a big flame ,i did not think of that until recently when i got this lighter out of my drawer and tried to bring it back to life
it is working now but i have to strike it several times to get it lit,perhaps the sheet metal construction has creeped out of place and this is why im having problems or could be the fuel or the tip of the wick may need to be blunted to catch sparks?
i also brought out my old zippo that another cousin gave me and i had a bit of problems to get it going but it works now right away and is better than the imco,it lights right away with a slight flick ,,idk why you say it wont hold fuel for long,i believe it lasted over a month but imco is very unique nice lighter and i will treasure it
i found that if the wick is chard it lights better
It is definitely a very cool looking lighter, and if it holds the fluid for at least 30 days that's awesome. Thanks for sharing brother.
Massachusetts Prepper well depends on how frequently you use them .but definetly better than Zippo
That's cool, like how you can make it stand alone!!
SUFFICIENT SURVIVAL thanks .. the best thing about which I like is how the fuel lasts to much longer
I've got one passed down from my grandfather
Nice! Try a Zippo Blu....love mine.
TheAidansdaddy17 thanks ! I have a similar Jet lighter but I love the smell of gas :)
What Fuel i should use for it? Is there a specific one?

doest it dry out after a couple of days? thats the problem with zippo
no
The best thing about: You can fill it with a neutral lamp oil - with no more bad taste from the gas.
No creo que sea buena idea rellenarlo con aceite amigo...

@First name Last name very true what you say. I really like zippos, but IMCO consumes less fluid, precisely because it is better sealed.
That's total nonsense as with the imco there is a cap that automatically covers the wick. A Zippo has to be refueled at LEAST one a week while imcos can go for several weeks with one refueling.

Does 4 stroke gasoline work on this lighter
I tried putting it works pretty good doesnt light whit every spark and it stinks a little
You don't say how to fill it up? Fuel tank looks closed.. Arge
Like a zippo
Very cool!
