For outdoor activities, you can't bring a lighter, because it is one of the indispensable survival equipment, so most of the friends are willing to buy and use the Zippo lighter with windproof function. There are many brands of lighters in the market, zippo is famous outside, and it is the most copied. What are the methods for distinguishing between zippo and lighter?
1. First look at the appearance. There is a circular gravure on the upper and lower sides of the Zippo lighter. The two circular marks on the casing are really difficult to be identical on the imitation machine. in accordance with.
2, the bottom of the real Zippo has a manufacturing year. It was written in 1932-1956; it was written in italics from 1957 to 1976; it was used in 1977 to incorporate the logo of the flame pattern. In addition, since 1957, all Zippo lighter bases have been marked with a symbol of the year of manufacture, which is convenient for collectors to identify.
Products before this can only be judged by S number or design type. There are four kinds of marks representing the year of manufacture, which are (•) (used in 1957), () (used in 1966-1973), (/) (used in 1974-1981), and (\) (used in 1982-1986). ). Each token is used for 8 years. There are a maximum of eight of these marks, which are engraved on the left and right sides of the Zippo logo (ie, up to four each). And adopt the method of decreasing year by year, at least only one left.
3. Beginning in 1986, in addition to the year, the symbol of the month was added. The right side of the trademark indicates the year of manufacture in Roman numerals (II stands for 86 years, III stands for 87 years, IV stands for 88 years); the left side is in English letters for the month of manufacture (A for January, B for February, and C for March). This type of push). Among the above features, the fake Zippo lighter is generally not or incomplete, and the printing is also rough. Performance, quality, and appearance are not comparable to real Zippo.
4, weight. It's true that Zippo is generally lighter than counterfeit. This is because fake Zippo lighters are made of steel or iron, not Zippo-specific materials; some unscrupulous manufacturers add thickness to the hard shell.
5, look at the flame, heat resistance. Zippo imitation products are burning with green smoke, the flames are flickering, and the whole fuselage is fully burned in less than 4 minutes. And the true Zippo lighter has been burned until the fuel is exhausted and will not ignite the fuselage. This is because the fake Zippo steel cover is too thick and the heat dissipation effect is poor; the oil storage cotton core inside the machine is of poor quality and is easy to leak oil.
6, wind resistance. Put the true and false Zippo fan at a distance of 40 cm from the electric fan, drive the fan to the maximum wind, and still blow the flame of the real Zippo lighter. The fake Zippo lighter was blown out when the electric fan only opened the minimum wind. This is because the windproof wall of the real Zippo lighter is high; the design of the vent hole is scientific and reasonable; the special fire core is good for oil absorption.
