Thank goodness the flint didn't strike properly, because the lighter exploded and release all the butane in less then quarter of a second covering my hand in liquid butane. It could have been a firery fireball hand. Seriously not impressed. I will now send this piece of rubbish back. I will request that they send me a replacement standard Zippo lighter instead. I already have a standard Zippo lighter, and it works as stated.

Which brings me on to another piece of Zippo failure; the Zippo Fuel Canister. Don't bother, it is rubbish. It constantly leaks fuel. Don't use it as intended, highly flammable smelly itchy genitals may result. It will also be sent back. frown

Edited for profanity!


If you have something like the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission over there, I urge you to report this to them. For that matter, report it to the CPSC as well. http://www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/Contact-I...rmation-Center/
