In detail: do-it-yourself repair of gasoline lighters from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Dear Sirs. I myself am not a smoker, but here I was honored to get myself a gasoline lighter (inexpensive, apparently Chinese). But I ran into a problem. I have absolutely no idea how to handle her. How to refuel, change the wick, flint, maybe there are some other nuances that I have no idea about. I understand that the questions sound amateurish. But I would be very grateful for advice and tips.
Buy the original Zippo. Ketayskaya is a completely different device.
Eh .. Duc bought it already. 
Okay, I'll figure it out. Moreover, intuitively, it seems to me a little clear. 
quote: Buy the original Zippo.
do not tell me, the zip died by the fact that the chair was apparently worn off and it became impossible to cut a spark, the lid became wildly dangling in the hinges, and the zipo worked for 11 years in sparing conditions, maybe there was some work, but I bought it in the zipo department, in a box with a patchport for 1tyr ... I bought a Chinese one under zipo, two years the flight is normal.
TSu, the drain is counted, if a person asks the community for help on how to manage such a complex thing as a lighter, then he is not just a bat, he is a BATAN in a cube, well, or jokes
Well, I have a pipe zippo, and a bunch of Chinese are lying around, so they are earth and sky. You can easily distinguish the original in your hand, such a clever thing. And "bdzin" at the opening is pleasant.
quote: in the hand you distinguish, such a clever thing. And "bdzin" at the opening is pleasant.
Well, I’m not saying that my zipo was sitting in my hand or that it’s bzdin was not bizarre, but for 11 years and Ave Maria, the Chinese might bzdin it’s not the same, but I don’t distinguish it with my great ear for music, but it’s a bastard and costs 150 rubles ... So in 11 years, even if a piece is in two years, this is a shikoko, I'll buy them, then until I equal the zip price, well, really, it's licensed along the way, the whole flask is written in letters, the only thing that I understood is this license? ... well, like that eArth at the bottom it says schA I'll try to lay out

If the original Zippo has worn off the chair and the lid is loose, send it to the warranty repair, fortunately, that the warranty is lifetime.
Licensed zippos do not exist in nature.

Believe it yourself? or there is experience, then the algorithm is in the studio, I somehow bought a package of beer with prizes, honestly tapped the caps where I bought it, they told me - they bring us beer, but they didn't say anything about the prizes, go nah from here
Proven algorithm for sending Zippo lighters for warranty repair.
This algorithm was used by hundreds of people from Russia and received their lighters repaired or replaced with new ones.
The main condition is that the Zippo must be genuine! And the warranty does not cover the coating and finishing (but the fallen off pad will be glued if you send it).
“If you still decide to send your Zippo for repair, then you should adhere to some rules:
1. Take out the insert, remove the cotton filler from it, and let the remaining fuel evaporate for two to three days.
2.Put the lighter in the original box (if available, if not, just pack it carefully).
3.Pack the lighter in a large box (the larger the box, the less risk it gets lost in transit). Several lighters can be sent in one box
4.Write on a piece of paper your name, address, telephone number and email address, put it in a box with a lighter
5.Insure the forwarding box and ship using a traceable method, postage paid, to:
Zippo Repair Clinic
1932 Zippo Drive
Bradford, PA 16701
The company will send a confirmation of the receipt of the lighter for repair to the e-mail address you provided.Your lighter will be repaired completely free of charge and will return to you in about 5-6 weeks (however, these terms are rather fair for those who sent the lighter for repair from the USA, they will obviously take longer to get to us).
For more information on Zippo warranty repairs, call Consumer Relations at 814-368-2700 or write Zippo Consumer Relations Department, 33 Barbour Street, Bradford, PA 16701.
Interestingly, the free and lifetime warranty does not apply to all Zippo products (which is quite logical). For example, the Zippo Multi-Purpose Lighter will not be repaired if damaged due to misuse. And for each fix, the owners are charged a payment of $ 5. And on Zippo pens, the warranty lasts only 2 years and of course does not cover the ink replacement process.
The manufacturer also insists that the owners of Zippo lighters do not try to repair them on their own, because can only make things worse, and send or take their lighters to a repair shop. This even applies to such breakdowns as a fallen off emblem, tk. if you stick it yourself, you can damage the surface of the lighter by choosing the wrong glue.
In the same community, you can read the reviews of those who sent and received their lighters.
People from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan.
I myself changed the insert with a released chair (overheated a fan at a concert) under warranty, now I have one of the Zipps with a 1996 case and a 2002 insert.
well, we’ll have a look next time, although one devil will cost 400 rubles, more mail will take off
I also changed in Moscow. I came to the office of the off-importer, a man came out, I took out an insert with a broken spring from the case, and after 5 minutes I left with a new one. They did not ask for any checks, box guarantees, etc.

Is it in COROLUS on Ryazansky prospect 75, building 4?
That was a long time ago?
It was a long time ago, the end of the 90s, the beginning of the 2000s, approximately. And the office was at Aviamotornaya, if my memory serves, I don’t remember the name of the company
she did Zippo and Maglites.

The first breakdown of the lighter! I had to optimize, that is, remove unnecessary details, for its normal operation.
When I was unpacking the lighter I noticed that something was rattling inside. And I decided to make out to see what was there. Ref.

Entry from 24.10.2014. Lighter Zippo (Zippo) ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋.
I wanted to make a gasoline lighter with my own hands ... But what you want, you have to do!
Soldering will be used in the manufacture.
I figured out what might be needed for her:
I started with a simpler one - I made a cover for the bottom:
I soldered a 10-kopeck coin to the nut from the axle box crane and cleaned it.
I started making the body of the lighter - I sawed off the butt of the spray can and polished it with a drill:
I soldered the thread from the valve of the axle box to the ass, having previously bored the inner diameter of the sleeve with a mini milling cutter:
I put a tube on the spout of the balloon, and wound a little stripped copper wire on the nipple to reduce backlash. A copper tube was expanded in the nipple to reduce the inner diameter. I connected the whole thing and soldered:
Now the hardest part is the flint tube. I made it from a bar with a blind thread, drilling through it. The bar was fixed to the neck with a flattened brass tube. And he hung up the snot and soldered:
I didn't warm up much, I was afraid that the previous soldered parts would fall off, so an ugly seam came out.
The wheel will be attached using two L-shaped ears:
It's time to make the cap. To attach the chain to the top, I soldered a small screw:
And the mount for the chain on the case:
Update as of 02/17/16
Lighter version # 2 (I don’t make the previous version):
Difference from the previous model:
- The lighter nozzle is directly pressed into the neck of the can.
- One-piece flint holder and wheel.

Hello .. I would like to buy a lighter from you ... post an answer to the mail
Good day. The author of Pts liked your lighter. Let's write by email. mail. Thank you
Good afternoon. I wrote to you by email. mail.
If you are ready to buy this lighter, write in a personal message.
It's cool, to grind, if everything would be snot, and there will be candy, I myself have been thinking of bungling a lighter for a long time 🙂
beautiful and how much will you sell this miracle
Thanks, I started doing something like yours, but I just cut the threads on the M8 on top, is that easier ?!
You can completely make a lighter with threaded connections, and it will be easier or more difficult to say, I cannot say to whom.
It depends on what thread you cut "from above" - You could not cut an external M8 thread, because the outer diameter of the balloon head is 9 mm. Apparently you cut the internal thread to screw the nipple into it. In this case, the nipple will turn when unscrewing / twisting the cap and gasoline can poison through leaks. So you still have to solder.
The margin on the sides of the cylinder head when using an internal thread will be 0.5 mm each, which is not very good, the thread will be loosened and, most likely, it will simply tear the head off the cylinder when cutting.
Another important point is the thread pitch. In the main one, it is 1.25 mm. The thread pitch of the nipple is 0.8 mm.
So I want to see what you did there - proof in the studio!
I don’t know what cylinder you had, but I cut the external threads. Moreover, the thickness at the tip of the balloon was 2 mm, so there was still 1 mm left. I'll post a photo here when I'm done. And where else did you get this flint?
but at the expense of the step, I will not tell you because I do not have a pedometer or whatever it is ?!
You can measure 20 turns with a caliper and divide by 20)
Flint is obtained from any lighter with a wheel, or purchased separately (special for gasoline lighters). It should also be borne in mind that gas and gasoline lighters have flint of different diameters.
The thread pitch can be roughly estimated from the photograph, the thread on the nipple (small) will noticeably differ from the thread on the bolt (large).
If you cut a large thread, then you have to make a cap from a nut.
Here is a comparison of 2 different cans. The one on the left is a balloon for pneumatics with an increased volume, the head diameter is 7.2 mm - the M8 thread, in principle, can be cut, but it will turn out to be rather weak. When cutting M8 threads, the outer diameter must be 8 mm.
Well, yes, everything is correct, I made a nut-cap (I just soldered a sheet of tin from above)
And at the expense of the wheel - I bought a simple lighter - there the wheel is not flint, there is flint separately (because of this I can not continue to work).
The wheel is generally made of hardened steel, and the flint is a small cylindrical column, pressed against the wheel by a spring.
Exactly. But you put something completely different?
I did not put something completely different, I have the same thing, and in all other lighters in general the same thing. I repeat that you need to carefully read the article, and even more carefully look at the photos.
Krasava. Skylki godin bulo spent on qiu jigu?
I don’t remember exactly. 2-3 pm approx.
what flux did you use and if there is a gas soldering iron how can it help?
and what can be attached like a tube for flint
Absolutely any tube that lends itself to soldering and fits the inner diameter.
Used soldering acid. You will need a gas soldering iron if you are going to solder with refractory solder.
and what kind of gasoline to pour into it?
Ideally, special gasoline for lighters.
In general, any flammable liquid can be used.
Such a question, did you buy the wick or did you make it? If you can't tell me something from yourself?
You take threads (not synthetic) and wind them, for example, on a piece of cardboard. Then you remove it from the cardboard, twist it and cut the ends on both sides.
I took a thread from an asbestos fabric and braided it with copper wire.
Looks like Artyom's lighter from Metro 2033
Super! I saw a lot of drawings of lighters, and almost all of them have such caps for the wick. Please tell me where this piece was taken from.
You take any camera, be it a car or a bicycle, arm yourself with a knife and cut off a nipple. Then you saw off as much as you need from the nipple. The cap is naturally also from the nipple. Nowadays, plastic caps are more common, but metal ones should also be sold. My cap is from Soviet times.
I also made a tank for spare fuel
He already resembles steampunk. Well done, it turned out great.
IMHO to solder something different from radio circuits with such solder is unreliable, especially when there is an open flame next to the soldered elements. Wouldn't be unsoldered ...
So the solder melts at a temperature close to 200 * C. How many hours does it have to work to reach that temperature?
And in what it should be kept, so as not to get burned) I am interested in such a question - is the microscopic amount of lead that remains on the hands dangerous? Or is it better not to hold such things in your hands before eating?
It does not heat very much, the body after 2 minutes of operation is warm, a little hot thread around the wick and the wheel. Not dangerous, but if you are so afraid, then wash your hands before eating.
I think the concentration of lead on the hands will be approximately equal to that after reading the newspaper or buying a bouquet of flowers near the track)
What kind of solder? Not tin-lead by accident?
Paint, add gears and you get a good steam-punk-style unit
Krasava!

Absolutely sealed gasoline lighter. A great addition for NAZ and a cool souvenir for friends.
Once in search of spare parts for my primus, an idea struck me. I found that it is quite possible to make a camping, gasoline lighter from the primus pump, from which the fuel does not evaporate during storage. Many users of Zippo lighters will understand me.
I found all the parts for assembly at a flea market.

Author of the article "Do it yourself: DIY gasoline lighter" Shuhratux
It would seem, well, why reinvent the wheel - make a gasoline lighter when you can buy it without any problems in any store? Well, firstly, because it's interesting to do something with your own hands. And, secondly, a homemade lighter can become a source of pride, as well as an original gift for a friend. And you can make it from scrap materials. Well, shall we try?
Cut off a small piece from the copper plate and bend it with a small letter "p", drilling holes in the "ears" so that you can install and fix the chair (a wheel from an ordinary gas lighter). At the bottom of the plate, you need to make one hole for the flint.
On the outside of the part, a short piece of a brass rod with a plug at the end is soldered, inside which a "cavity" is drilled - the flint itself will be here. The body of the lighter is made of a hollow copper tube, over which a plug is fitted.
A hole is drilled in the center and a piece of a rod with a hole inside and an external thread is soldered so that a cap can be screwed onto it. From the side of the copper plug, you will need to carefully solder a brass rod with flint and a chair.
We cut off a piece of the wick of a suitable length and wrap it with copper wire for greater rigidity, after which we install it inside the tube. Then we seal the plug so that it does not open. We fill the body of the gasoline lighter with cotton wool and seal it tightly with a plug (again, using soldering).
You need to solder a brass nut to the plug, into which we screw in a brass bolt that matches the diameter. See the video for the step-by-step process of making a gasoline lighter.
