Gerritt Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am not really sure I was a device that relies on combustion in my gloves or float suit.. in fact the thought of it terrifies me... I will stick disposal hand warmers... G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggyj Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Neat little gadget. I have seen them before. Lots for sale on EBAY at a much cheaper price than the retail price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Assuming they still work well in frigid temperatures for ice fishing, that'd be great to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 They're useless, they don't stay lit if you keep them in your pocket. I bought a battery operated one from Bass Pro that's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 They're useless, they don't stay lit if you keep them in your pocket. ....Yep, what Mike said. I had one many years ago, damn thing would never stay lit and everytime I went to use it after a few days of storage it would need refilling.

legacey Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I just bought one as a present for my Dad. Not sure if he's used it but they claim they're better than the old models and use .4 ml of fluid or something like that and no flame. I got it on ebay like previously suggested. Couldn't get one in Canada anywhere and zippo won't ship them to here. Either way, they're cool and for some reason, I love zippos of any kind....like Harley for others I guess.

John Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not sure about the recent versions, but they needed oxygen to support combustion. As soon as you restricted the supply of oxygen, (pocket, gloves, etc. etc.), they stopped working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 http://www.coghlans.com/catalogue/productList.php?catID=5 I have used this type for several years. Work great as far as I'm concerned. I lit up both ends in the truck let it stay open for a few minutes while I finish loading up the boat. Stuff em in my breast pockets and when my fingers got numb from casting, My pockets were always toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem with it staying lit and it does keep the hands toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bly Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Tested the fuel version and the stick version last year and concur with the prevailing opinion. The fuel ones get nice and hot but ONLY when given proper air flow and yes, they dry up when not in use. The stick versions need a minimal amount of air flow, heat up well and the replacement sticks are not pricey. I considered the battery style but after estimating how many batteries I would use in a roughly 2 week period......to costly for me and not very enviro friendly.
