Just to put it out there: There are 2 of these fueled zippo's '6hr' & '12hr' editions. I have the '6hr' smaller zippo handwarmer and I've seen it go for up to ~12 hours. Depends on some factors though.
I use the soft flame insert from Thunderbird. Why won't Zippo offer one? It looks just like a traditional Zippo flame, but butane . Also, have the single torch from Zippo. It works great , but not as pretty as the TBird
I watch your wine making videos and I have to admit I was definitely but pleasantly surprised to see your face when I watch a hand warmer video! A man of many talents!
The IR temp reading will differ based on the absorption of the material you measuring. You must change the settings (material type) to have accurate results, a Thermocouple are RTD would be the preferred method for this test.
Wow, great review! Thank you for taking the time! I'll admit when you 1st lit the zippo I was concerned, but the test came out well. I've used both and even used a knockoff zippo style warmer that failed. Zippo is king though! Thanks again!
I had one of those zippo warmers. It was nice for about 2 months....then completely stopped working on me. Hot hands ALWAYS work...and they are way more versatile. At my walmart right now they are $1.50 for a 10 pack. I stocked up on em cause they are good for over 2 years. Nice video
But the zippo ones bulky and hard. Cant imagine using it inside palms while working with gloves, could one expect it to warm up the bottom part of the hand when placed this ont he back of the palm? Also the initial investment, 14 bucks or so, is it just for the one piece of a pair?
You have to shake the Hothands. I have one in my pocket now and it is almost to hot to hold. The Hothands need shaking and air flow to keep it charged.... I have had a few that lasted over 8 hours and were still going strong.
Things are different when you put the hand warmers into your pockets. The less air, the less heat with the gas ones, they cool down quick. electric ones were much easier to control. I bought both. 2 for wife 2 for me ... It is like sitting at a camp fire on a cold night. you put your hands to the flame and you get temporary warmth on your hands
I pack a zippo warmer and I do something a little different I have a 2 piece jacket so a liner and the cover. I put my hand warmer on a necklace and put it in my jacket, it keeps the entire jacket warm in frigid winter. Now and then I pack a second one for my hands.
I have used both. Hot hands have the "throwaway" stigma, but I have gotten chemical burns from the fuel that tends to seep out of a full Zippo hand warmer dropped into my pocket. Very painful. Never been burnt by a hot hands. I live in Tennessee, doesn't get cold and stay cold like northern states. I only use them while deer hunting on really bad days, I will stick with the Hot Hands.
@@doradean3097not at but you absolutely need to follow the instructions and not overfill it. You should be able to tilt it upside down without the fluid exiting.
Without the pouch, you'll get more heat depending on how much oxygen you allow, but at the same time, you'll get fewer hours since it'll be using more fuel. The more air allowed, the hotter it'll get, consuming more fuel .
Hes taking the temp of the zippo while its in the bag. The actual divice out of bag gets over 120 degrees 130 at the hottest and it gets hot quick. The bag reduces air flow which also slows the fule burn making it last longer and burn colder.
My dad used to use those zippos in the 70’s while deer hunting, and of course they should stay warmer as u have lighter fluid burning. But, THE SMELL! Everything, even in the car on the way home stunk like lighter fluid! It cant be good for deer hunting, which is why i watched this video.
Haha, I love the smell! I don't necessarily want all my stuff smelling like Zippo though. Seems like as long as you don't spill any fluid, they are not too smelly anymore.
Your personal smell probably all that needed to get a deer to avoid you in fact your personal smell is probably the strongest factor in avoiding you. A dog with you probably up there on the scare factor. As stated in hunting guides if your upwind they are going away from you. And deer ability to smell tops a dog. So I would not worry about it.
The build quality is really good. It is about the same as any Zippo lighter. Mine doesn't say where it is made on it and I bought it a few years ago. I am guessing the design should still be the same if it is made in Taiwan. Might even be using the same dies to stamp the metal.
Put hot hands back in its bag to control the air getting to it, more air more heat less life, less air less heat longer life and keep this type dry at all times to get the best from them.
You have to use the hand warmers as directed...it takes more than 2-3 seconds of just shaking it to get air moving thru it to reheat the elements in it
Hit Hands don’t get as hot as they used to. They suck now. Because they change them and they suck now I went and bought the zippo and the Peacock and I love them I am done with Hot Hands.👎
The main problem I see with the zippo, is safety. You need to have an open flame to light it up, and if you are hunting Up in a tree and pull out a lighter to turn it on, it's an obstacle to me. If Zippo had its own ignitor, would be great... For example add a resistor that can turn on the hand warner instead of an open flame. I cannot believe that Zippo has not figured that out already... Make it safer, more practical, and simply better....
I’ve had the same zippo style hand warmer that I was given as a kid over 30 years ago. It was well used when I received it. Never had a problem, never had an accident or even a close call. And this is before they came out with the snowflake proof version.
@@soniacampos8791 Because its safe to use as it doesn't use a flame to emit heat. Hot hands you have to constantly buy and once they are done you thorw them away. As opposed to the zippo lighter where you just refill it and you can use the same warmer for years. Over time the Zippo is far cheaper because after you buy it you're just using a small amount of fuel which as he said costs about 30 cents per fill up. Its less trash and waste to keep using the zippo than it is hot hands. I think its pretty easy to see the zippo is the better buy
