12/7 I bought several portable handwarmers from Restoration Hardware as
Christmas gifts-- they're basically similar to Zippo lighters (where
you fill the saturate the lower reservoir with lighter fuel, then light
a wick of sorts on top). Only thing is, it just won't fucking work.
I'm nauseated by the fumes, my hands are covered with dry spots from
spilled fluid, but I can't get the damn burner to stay lit without
completely flaring up. Is there any trick you need to do with new
zippos? thanks.
\_ Son of a BITCH! I just burnt my hand picking the damn thing up.
I guess it's kinda lit... hooray.
\_ I bought a replica WWI trench lighter there several years ago
and had the same problem with spilled fluid and fumes. I think
their stuff is just cheaply made, but it was a cool lighter.
\_ Use the newer proheat reusable chemical hand warmers. Those
things you have are basically wwII tech. Where are you
that you need a handwarmer? |
