DaveGarland Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nice! How long does a burn last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethmob Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'll be honest I have never took the chance to fill it to the top. It says in the range of 6 hours but I'm a short bursts person so I'm never out that long but obviously if u keep a can of fluid with u u can refill at any time. The catalyst does have a lifespan but it's a few thousand uses and their fairly cheap to replace Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoLion Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nowt wrong with Zippo hand warmers but wouldnt be over keen on carting the liquid fuel about with me and re-fueling a lit item . Have a look for Charcoal Handwarmers on Google . It 'l give you stacks of hits . They work well , slowly and safely burning the charcoal stick down inside the refractory lining .Probably cheaper than the Zippo. PS You may need a Zippo or a gas lighter to set the charcoal stick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethmob Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hey soz I released when I was in work (just got home) you have to light the zippo but it dosent stay alight it's a catalytic reactionSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've used both. They're both very good. I found the charcoal good when lit, but a bit fiddly to get lit. The zippo is good, lasts longer than the charcoal, if you put a good amount of fluid, but does have the smell of the fluid. Depends on whether you like the smell or not. Hard to pick between.Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSkywatcher Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I love the smell of zippo juice. Often thought about buying a hand warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolenfeather Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That could definitely be useful for both stargazing and going out on the snowmobile!Isabelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've got a Zippo hand warmer and can recommend them. The should run for up to 12 hours on a complete fill - I've certainly had mine running overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGarland Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Mine arrived yesterday so I tried it today. And it did last a full twelve hours! Excellent for camping. I'm glad I read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike73 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Another vote for the zippo hand warmer from me. Light it, stick it in your pocket and forget about it. Gives of a good heat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
