How to tell the authenticity of Zippo Classic Black Ice 150ZL?

It is not recommended to buy black ice, because the style is beautiful but not wear-resistant, and it will not take long to run out.

It is recommended to buy 200.205.207 series, which is more wear-resistant, more styles and more mature and stable.

First: weight

Real Zippo is generally lighter than fake, because fake Zippo lighters are made of steel or iron, not special materials for Zippo;

Some unscrupulous manufacturers have increased the thickness in pursuit of hard shell.

Second: look at flame and heat resistance.

When the Zippo imitation was burning, smoke came out and flames swayed, and the whole fuselage caught fire in less than 4 minutes. A real Zippo lighter won't ignite the fuselage until the fuel runs out. This is because the cover just made by fake Zippo is too thick and the heat dissipation effect is poor; The oil storage cotton core in the machine is of poor quality and easy to leak oil.

Third: windproof ability

Put the true and false Zippo at a distance of 40 cm from the electric fan, and turn the electric fan to the maximum wind power, but it still can't blow out the flame of the true Zippo lighter. The fake Zippo lighter was blown out when the electric fan only turned on the minimum wind. This is because the real Zippo lighter has a high windproof wall; The exhaust hole design is scientific and reasonable; The special wick has good oil absorption performance.
