  • I was in my local vape/tobacco shop looking for lighter fluid when I ran across this product. So I wanted to see if replacing the rayon in a Zippo lighter would provide better absorption with the Cotton Bacon.

    Checking into this thanks to seeing your other video. Since I quit smoking thanks to the useless clove ban, daily carry of a Zippo seemed wasteful. But for EDC and camping I adopted the EXOTAC TitanLight. Solves the evaporate in 4 days problem. A more absorbent medium helps, and Zippo fluid is $80 a gallon now .My grandfather carried a Zippo all my life and I have a...few.😂 ...a new Zippo holds 90 drops straight from the can, compared to the TitanLight, that holds about 3 ml.

    I've found a stack of the felt pads, if you can get them that is Zippo does not sell them, is a really nice replacement for the "balls". I can't be certain but it does, at least, seem to last longer.

      @SergeantExtreme 4 місяці тому +1

      That's the double edged sword of using a material with better wicking properties. It'll transfer fluid to the wick much better, but that will cause you to have to refill the lighter more often.

  • @giovanniabazia4394

    Hi, why didn't you put the first 2 cotton balls on the sides of the wick?

  • @petemitchell6788
    @petemitchell6788 5 днів тому

    I just run the wick straight down and cut it. The only time they wear is when you light an empty zippo. If you keep it fueled the wick lasts a ridiculous amount of time. If it does I’ll just use the other half I trimmed off. 😎

  • @YouTuber-mc2el
    @YouTuber-mc2el Місяць тому

    Can't help wondering how much the density of the absorbent material means. How tightly or loosely packed it is. I would think you would want that goldilocks density of just enough to keep fluid from leaking when completely saturated. After all cotton bacon or rayon it is taking up space that fluid could occupy.

    Hello , i would like to ask about somthing , i changed my cotton in my lighter lately , when i smoke a cigaret it taste like the fuel ! And it also make me feel like my lungs is burning and make me always cough ! Before i changed the cotton. the old and dry one i couldn't experience non of that , but the fuel evaporates fast like in three days or something and the wick was like dry too , after i changed the cotton , The fuel lasts longer but like i said burning my lungs and cough , so what could be the problem cause i already stoped using it till i find a solution ,
    what could it be ?

    • @SergeantExtreme
      @SergeantExtreme 4 місяці тому

      What's happening is that the new cotton is holding much more fuel than your old cotton. Thus, more fuel is being transferred through the wick.

      @@HorsepowerHeaven Try switching from lighter fluid to 99% Isopropanol. I did that years ago, and you get a great flame with no taste or smell. Another good thing is that, if your skin is sensitive to naphtha burns, you won't have to worry about burns or rashes when using Isopropanol. The only downside, and I must warn you, is that sadly Isopropanol seems to evaporate much quicker than standard lighter fluid meaning you may have to refill it more frequently than when using regular lighter fluid. However, I find all of the upsides of using Isopropanol to far outweigh the downside of having to refill more often.
