Rumour has it that inside the spare flint is a spare lighter.
And repeat
That would actually be really cool if that was the case. Like some kind of nesting doll of lighters
You must actually be fun at parties😂
Was expecting you to open up the spare flint for another surprise
Same lol
$100 is pricey but this thing is pretty awesome. I really like how it holds extra fuel, flint and is waterproof.
I wish it was a hundred bucks now hindsight's 20/20
The design was so thoughtful, I was sure there would be a spare flint somewhere in there. Saw the spare fuel talk and thought "oh well, that's fine too I guess". The reserve-reserve flint caught me by surprise.
Same lol.
Long-lasting easy to use lighter is pretty well worth the price.
I don't know if this is really quite a survival lighter, but honestly, it looks like it'd be perfect outdoors.
I’ve had one of these in brass for a while now. They’re pricey but definitely worth it.
Awesome lighter. Love the quality and functionality. Too bad I'm on a 10 dollar Walmart Zippo budget, but that doesn't stop me from admiring a well made product.
Great design esp for using the spare flint and fuel compartments for other small personal uses..
Probably the coolest lighter I ever seen. I was sick of piezoelectric braking all the time and this thing it seems is so sooooo much better and reliable and not to mention how sexy that looks
this is by far the best lighter i've ever seen
this is the type of lighter you lend to someone and never get back
This is the type of lighter you never lend to anyone. They can have it when you are dead.
lol I have no problems lending people stuff but I watch them use it then take it back...
@@cutlerylover wow I'm the exact same way
@@cutlerylover do you have your own catalog and website? My website is CancerCure7.com
Are you going to give this lighter the ol' "how long it stays lit before it blows up" test?
I bought my son the DOUGLAS FIELD "L" brass model. SMOOTHE, that's how best to describe it. The threads are buttery, ignition is very easy and a constant spark each time. VERY VERY WELL MADE !!! Fuel Lasts to....I highly suggest it. I want the FIELD "S".....I am an avid camper, outdoorsman, cig smoker, and I think it will do me fine.
Price is subjective guys. Had one of these for about two years with the smooth body in brass and I think it's great for occasional use. Only criticism is that the flame is a bit too deep inside the storm gaurd to use for some tasks even though it doesn't look it in this video. I have tried adjusting the wick and such and no luck. It's an easy think to get around though. At the end of the day it is an expensive novelty, if that's your thing, awesome and even if it's not don't you dare try to tell me you didn't think this was awesome before you heard the price.
An imco lighter with this fuel and flint tank would be perfect probably the best lighter ever made
That would be a cool camp lighter.
Zippo could take a couple lessons from this lighter
I've always thought that zippo could put a small tube on the opposite side of the current screw to hold spare flint.
Same thing with the flint that touches the striker. This lighters got a way better design because the spring isn't exposed.
Idk how they would add spare fuel but I always seem to run out and forget to refill it.
If zippo would add some sort of seal to the bottom of the insert. I feel it would last a little longer. I know you can buy them but I want zippo to do it so that the insert will still sit flush with case.
Jordan K you do know the little hole in the cotton bottom of the zippo is for holding an extra flint right?
@@bobwilliams22 yeah but I don't like it. I always feel like I'm going to drop it when I refill or lose it inside my lighter.
Great review! Love that lighter. Too bad it’s out of stock everywhere.
Can you please make a video on how to change the week and the cotton because I can’t find any videos on UA-cam about that
Great build
I like the extra moves that’s needed to unlock
Very cool lighter!!!!! Thank you for the review. I will buy one for sure. ♡
Outstanding design.
So if you take the flint piston out, is there room for a back up match? Hehe.....very cool lighter Jeff, thanks for showing it! I wouldn't pay that much for one, but I'm not a big lighter collector. For those who do collect them, very neat for the collection!
I love this lighter.
I love my zippo's but now I really want one of these. Mainly for if I'm out camping and get caught in the rain.
Jacob Stout ride the lightning!!!!!
Been looking at these Douglass Field lighters for a few years, really tempted to try one but the price is a bit off putting hehe! Thanks for sharing!
Please field test this Jeff! Love brother!
check out the field L version of this lighter it gives up some waterproofness in exchange for solving your quit lighting issue and is also a very good lighter.
It’s nice but I’m going to stick to my classic Zippo with the thunderbird butane insert.
Smart choice but the Thunderbird insert gets boring over time so I had to switch back to the normal insert
I always burn the tip of the wick and twist it and then get the tip through and pull it in with tweezers works even with the thick bulk chinese wicks on. Normal oil lighters
Excellent presentation. Thank you!
I totally missed Jeff saying the price in the beginning. Went to amazon to buy it and NOPE NOPE NOPE. Dude I have bought pistols for less than this lighter! haha
Yea I just bought a S&W model 10 for 60 bucks like 2 days ago this lighter is too expensive for me I'll just loose it.
secondswell damn I didn’t realize some of those revolvers got so cheap.... you guys going to pawn shops for these deals or what? I just picked up my very first which is a Cimarron single action army chambered in 45 colt
Very cool! You’re gonna cost me money. On the hunt for one now.
3rd downside is $150. love zippo sound and style but i dont use it enough to counter the absolutely mindbogglingly horrendous evaporation.
Nice review. Love this lighter. I’m not a smoker but keep one as part of my EDC kit. Great for sealing ends of paracord, etc. Question: where do we get spare parts (flints, etc.)? As an aside, I’ll be in Japan in the Spring and will be looking at picking one up there. Thanks again. Edit: found the parts on Amazon, duh.😉
Nice review it’s cool it fits in your pocket organizer !
:) I was very excited to see it fits as well
Cool lighter it's diffrent reliable lighter that it doesn't evaporate out of the lighter and it can carry extra fuel with it is a plus. I carry a small bic lighter it very rarely gets any use. I have a butane blue flame lighter for my arts and craft bench.
つるんとしたダグラスフィールド買おうと思ってたのにこれ見るとこっちもよく見えるんだよなあ。悩むぅ～
got one of these from the war my grandpa served in it was passed down
I really like this very beautiful lighter!
Douglass lighters are def cool but too expensive compared to a nice Imco, that is a fraction of the cost.
JockOfAges imcos are made in china now though, so unless you want a vintage one and risk losing it...
They're definitely nice
So is the Exotac Titan light, but I'd still love to have one of these. As long as you screw the cap down on an exotac and treat it like you do a Zippo as far as safety goes, that thing will hold charge well over a year. Fewer O rings too!
@@The8thCharacter My Imco broke a few months ago, i think i had a Chinese one, my local tobacconist said that they have stopped making them, but i just found out that Etsy is a good place for the older Austrian models at good prices. I suppose lighters are like a lot of other things, ie you get what you pay for. Not everything though, i'm back to using an old Clipper i've had for years and cost 99p.
@@tikkidaddy The Exotac Titan is a great lighter, especially for bushcrafting etc, but i'm after something i can operate with one hand.
I’m getting one of these. Very nice. Just what I was looking for. I’ve been looking at different trench lighters. Nothing of this quality in the manufacturing. Let us know how long the main chamber holds fuel.
Hello!
How long can it be lighted before O-ring gets burned or damaged due to temperature?
You want to waterproof and cut down on evaporation?
Take a plain zippo, cut a piece of bicycle inner tube and slide it over the lighter.
does it work well with pipes?
that field S looks cool but field L is where its at
too bad the flame canister dont pull out like an imco but wont that rubber seal under the flame melt if it's lit too long? these things get hot quick unless its heat resistant rubber
Does a zippo flint work in the S?
How's the Field-S 4 years down the line? the cap and wick cup came apart on me and I just never got around to sending it in for repair. It's just a glorified zippo at this point and the fuel evaporates as such.
Russian doll lighter very cool thanks for sharing!
Need to cover how it works in the wind.
Damn jeff thats a really cool lighter. Ide like to buy one. Ive never seen all those features
Will it take zippo flints and wicks?
And also my Douglas field S lighter diamond cut. I trim the wick so there’s no more black stuff on it but every time I sparked the lighter the flame is big for about five seconds and then it fucking dwindled down to nothing
Make sure the wick is correctly set inside, going through the container with cotton all around it. If you have bought it second hand, consider replacing the wick and why not the cotton too because if someone has tried to burn other than dedicated fuel in it, unburned residues may have blocked the fuel flow. Using Zippo brand wick would give peace of mind.
beutiful ligher, mine broke after 6 months of not much use though, striking wheel stopped turning with the lid so i had to glue it in place :/
I assume the lighter is chrome plated (?). What is the metal used for the components? Aluminum will get far hotter than brass, and brass will be hotter than steel. Is it all-steel?
Does it use regular lighter fluid?
looks like a fancy imco triplex
Love this lighter but looking for flint replacements. Any suggestions?
how does this keep from burning the o ring or it warping from heat?
Very nice! I love collecting trench lighters. 🍻
Very cool lighter, great video
Love mine, have you tried any other flints besides the Douglass ones? I hate to think those are the only ones at about a buck a piece. They are bigger than Zippos.
Cool lighter!
Hey Jeff, whatever happened to that Zippo tank canister thing that would hold fuel in a Zippo?
he did a video on it recently
@@NavyBlueExile ua-cam.com/video/lUaXC3kzj4M/v-deo.html
I don't think he every made a follow up video in this one.
If the lid doesn't close how do you change the setting on the ballbearing ring? I have read that somebody did it but didn't specifically elaborate about it. I'm afraid that I will brake it. Is it a clockwise or counter thread? What instruments are suggested to use. Looks very tight to me. Thanks for anybodies advice!
Meanwhile I found out something! The users manual says that you just have to oil the lid ring, but never mentiones what to use. I tried some oils (coocking oil, WD 40 etc.) I found out that the best is to use oils which are used in air-cooled engines. My friend has a Harley. I dipped a piece of cotton swab into it, put it on the ring carefully, so that the sparkstone doesn't recieve any, waited a day, dipped it again! Never had that problem since! It doesent matter how hot it gets, it closes.
One more thing! I didn't just swab the ring but I rotated the ring around its place, on the metal.
Gosh darn it I love lighters !
Saw it on Amazon for around $138 depending on the exact model you get. They also have a lot cheaper models.
Cheaper places to get them.89 bucks at urbanedccarry
What was the other lighter shown in this video that the Douglas replaced?
I wish I could afford one I really like it.
You sound like the guy from the pron channel "Private Society"! :D
Anyways thx for the video!^^
Really cool lighter 😀👍👌
Very nice !!
IMCO is better, but the idea of an extra fuel tank is useful
Have one on the way, most likely on board a slow boat from Japan 😢☹
Nice lighter for the non-smoker. Where is the IMCO rewick video you referenced in this video? I went looking for it, but can't find it. Original IMCO wicks have leaders on them similar to those on the Douglas wick. IMCO wicks are still in production, presumably from China.
it was during the testing video where I lewft the lighters lit, the afternmath vid...
Do they make butane one for pipe usage ?
Any other lighters like this one that are maybe a bit less expensive?
great review! mine should be here after a week.. these lighters are nothing less of amazing.got my field L today... small AF but pure jizz. 17719* your serial number..
im at 62333* they doing well makes sense sold out everywhere.
Hello i have the field s and i tried replacing the flint, but now its like the wheel is stuck and its not getting a spark
Why the fuck your vocab so good? You sound like an engineer. Great video man ty
It’s so crazy watching this guy growing up and getting me into zippos at 10 yrs old for me to come back and watch another lighter video 🤣
christ how long has this guy been at it?
Damn dude that's a really cool lighter. Very surprised, I want one hahaha
Helluva thing to lose. And you know you would. I lost a IM Corona Pipe lighter that I found. It still hurts a little.
Gorgeous lighter suburb design but at 100 dollars that’s steep for something to start a fire when there’s 20-30 dollar water proof lighters that do the same. Also I would like to see this rigorously tested. If it past some abuse testing and stays water tight I’d probably but it for novelty as well as a good bug out bag item
Wonder if the name is a reference to Douglass McArthur
It’s wooter proof?
I see it has some wind shielding, but how well does it work? What kind of wind speed do you think it could stay lit in?
I field tested it in Hurricane Katrina and it was fine.
Personally, I still like zippo. I like the feel of them, and they sell butane inserts if you’re tired of filling it over and over. Also you don’t spend about $100 too.
Problem is the butane inserts are boring
@@warthief3401 that’s why you keep both inserts.
@@ZSmith-yy4lv I agree with you there
Agreed. I use a 1937 Zippo replica, awesome looking lighter, and I use naptha gas as fluid, love the feel of the Zippo and naptha works well as lighter fluid and is at least 10 times cheaper if not more.
Would it make a good pipe lighter? And where did you get that case?
Lighters that use liquid fluid like these impart a taste on whatever you are smoking, so not really good for pipes.
Does it hold more fuel then a Zippo?
I wish I could get excited about things
Wtf? This is one depressing comment. Or did I miss something?
It a lot like a imco
Nevermind found it 😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣
👍
Is it still your favorite edc lighter?
Make sure your tobacco is also waterproofed.
Anyone else have a problem with the ball bearing not clicking into place?
I bet it was designed by a true engineer.
I wonder how much gear you actually own and is in weird places 😂
lots :)
Types of fuel?
standard lighter fluid
The leader is called a "messenger line" darling...
