>>358000>this is something easily testable. If it's easily testable why don't you test it and let us know how it works out? A video would be tremendously helpful. But what if the BIC is in temps lower than freezing?
>So there are stipulations and conditions on how you store your Zippo? None whatsoever, my rubber seal takes care of that.
>I would argue that weighing well over 70 grams is a "design flaw".The design flaw is an open top and the lack of any seal to protect the valve body.
>your Zippo will require a rebuild to put it back in service. I still have 5 other BICs....Negative. I had an old shitty one and let it cook in a fire to test. Even without the rayon balls and wick, a small bit of kindling placed on the eyelet and a small amount of any flammable liquid in the reservoir functioned admirably.
