Review on ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Exquisite Bronzy Carved Constantine Antique Style Lift Arm Oil Petrol Lighter: A Timeless Vintage Collectible by Vickie Kraus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Twice as long as the best lighters and matches

This is a good little lighter. About the same volume as a Zippo 8ml liquid +/- (although this is about the same volume, it won't fit in a Zippo belt clip). It's shorter but wider than the Zippo. I ran out of fluid today. Filled up 8 days ago. That's twice as long as a Zippo lasts (for me). When refilling, I put my old Zippo, which I had refilled the day before, on the shelf in front of the door. I checked the Zippo today and it was bone dry. Aside from an excellent system that prevents the liquid from evaporating, the flame, when it gets smaller, is tame enough to be reliably lit by it until the liquid is gone. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to open with one hand. if you have nerve damage and can't tell which page to open without looking. It also sits higher in the palm than the Zippo when opened with one hand if you have large hands. (I'm still practicing) I'm seriously considering soldering another thumb lift tab higher on the lift arm. Update: I modified the lighter using a broken piece of Hellhound tooth I had laying around. a bit smooth) So the image is pretty much in its raw state. Although it works great.
