Midas thank you for the heads up, I might be tempted to go back to using a Zippo.
They are marvelous in the wind,when trying to get a fire going.n at a pinch will run on other "Liquids".should petrol not be available..Originally Posted by ian c
The best thing about them is once lit they are lit until you close the lid.unlike "BICS"were you end up burning your thumb.?Well I do .lol.

One drawback if you are not a smoker and need to fill them up regularily...once you need it, it will be empty as all the fuel evaporates....lol
I use mine very seldom...

I bought a turboflame insert for my zippo.
That way you have the cool, retro, look of a zippo, but the strength of a turbo flame.
I bought it ages ago. Hold on, I'll see if I can google one...
Yeah, here it is:

I've got a Zippo but I've never felt the need to burn down a Vietnamese hut...
Right...yeah...erm...OK.
Good to hear it.
Not entirely sure how that's relevant.
A good point well made, even if it is 45 years too late...

Thank you Humakt for the turbo insert tip.
Zippo do make a gas lighter.but for me that defeats the object,of having the choice of petrol.
PS I also own a turbo lighter..very useful for the odd emergency soldering job.lol.
