Review on Wastreake Ashtray Thousand Multifunction Collectible by Justin Jeppi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice ashtray over ashtray

Nice little ashtray. Let's start with all the people saying it doesn't work. Did you really use petroleum? Not sure if other countries call lighter fluid like zippo liquid kerosene or if it's a bad translation but use zippo lighter fluid or ronson lighter fluid! Next, the instructions ask you to check the length of the wick. Mine was too long according to the instructions so I cut it off with a small pair of sharp scissors and mine works fine. The instructions say the wick should be half the length of the striker, so the point where the wick comes out of the match before the end of the match should be half as short, as easy as peeling pears. Now let's move on. This ashtray is small but much larger than I expected. It's also very deep, which is a plus. Now on all strike type matches you need to check the o-ring. O-rings dry out and need to be replaced regularly. The sealing ring prevents the liquid from evaporating. The only thing I didn't like was how small the liquid chamber in the lighter is. Its size is about a third of the length of the felt tip pen. It's small. It will run out quickly, the only reason for 4 stars. I bought the gold one and it's pretty hard to keep clean as it's shiny, it shows fingerprints and if you spill lighter fluid on it it leaves a sticky mess that doesn't wash off easily. But it's easy to use. I only used it with one hand to light a cigarette. Overall this is a good product for me.
