Zippo Hand Warmer Review and Temperature checks 

Great review and thank you! I have 8 of these Zippos...fabulous. Keep them tightly closed in the bag..better still diss the black velvet bag and use a nice thick cut off sock with the heel cut out..and it will burn warmer...and much longer..mine runs 20 hours on a 12 hour fill consistently and feels warmer with the sock. Keep it in the bag or sealed sock...the bag or sock should be closed at the top with a clip or stitching. It will not go out. Peacock handwarmer bags are better than zippo as they have velcro to seal the top. An open exposed top or even a small opening at the top of the bag, will cause it to lose heat, and will supply it with more air which consume the fuel much faster. Get one for Granny too, she'll will definately love you for it if she suffers from cold hands!

just bought the zippo hand warmer and love it.... and if you want to stop it and save some fuel put it in a salable plastic bag and the burner will not get any oxygen and burn out. takes about 30 seconds. hope this helps

I got one to today and I love it. I took the temperature once it had fully warmed up and I was getting around 46 degrees C in the pouch and over 70 out. It certainly gets too hot to hold without the pouch but I think the temperature depends on how much air gets to the unit.

Very good review. I wasn't sure about the warmer but after watching your video, I'm going to buy one. If it works out, I'll get a few for friends / family

Great review and comparison, especially with the thermal cam.

Great review, I love mine and it works a treat….. a note about the chemical sachet type hand warmers, they have lasted about 8 hours when I’ve used them before (sometimes a ‘jigging about’ of the granules helps) and are ideal for preparing a pair of gloves or wellingtons before wear and also keeping near your photography equipment to stop fogging when removal from your bag etc, my extreme cold weather gloves have a pouch on the back to hold small chemical type warmers on the back of the hand which the Zippo would be too large for……….everything has its place I guess, good review tho, keep it up and stay toasty 😊

Nice review. Ideal if you're living off grid. The FLIR looks like a great gadget too!

Just to clarify, for you're not a clutz like me, you probably won't spill the fuel. I can't recall of anyone else complaining about spillling fuel and I don't always have the steadiest hands.

I just ordered mine and love it, thanks for the great review.

I have heart issues and I use hand warmers on my feet. I'm going to try a set of these out. Thanks for the video buddy.

Well done. The Zippo hand warmers are fantastic piece of kit. I have a few of the Zippo 12 & 6 hour hand warmers, as well as some Peacock hand warmers. Both are fabulous… but I especially love the small 6 hour Zippo hand warmers, and use them the most. All my best…

Good review man. I don't see myself ever needing a hand warmer here but if I ever did I'd go with a Zippo one for sure:)

I have had 2 for a few years now. Highly recommended. Zippo recommends not putting directly on your skin. Once I put both in my pants front pocket’s. Worn under insulated overalls. Ended up with having minor chemical burns on my thigh’s. A learning experience I’m sharing, use in external pockets.

To turn off the Zippo, put the warmer in a zip lock bag. When the O2 is gone it stops being warm.

Link to buy the FLIR camera?

Thank you very much I just ordered one because your video

Thanks! I just ordered 6 of them for my employees.

Gotta get one of these. You can buy the fuel by the gallon at Walmart in the camping section too. Camp fuel , works perfectly in my lighters. Thanks for the review.

quick tip you can hold a finger over the fill hole to regulate the flow wile filling the zippo handwarmer😉

Nice review! You said for the disposable ones that you dont know in whar scenario to recommend them. Well, some goves have small pockets designed for those hand warmers, and that works good aswell :)

bought a zippo 12hour its awesome

Hello I just got a Zippo refillable hand warmer from Amazon, I just filled it an hour ago and just now checked the temperature on it because it felt extremely hot, sure enough, it measured 185F! Had no idea they got that hot.

Really awesome video mate

Where was the pouch in the box because I can't find it

always had trouble getting it to lite, gave up with the thing.

Just to clarify the catalytic converter isn't consumed it just wears out due to heat that is the point of a catalyst

Are these any good for warming cold feet? i always get cold freezing feet when camping!! Zippo should make Monster ones!

Just like their windproof lighters - They basically sell the things near to what it costs them to make. They make all of their money off of the fluid sales (and for lighters also the flints - and for the also the catalytic burners.). - That's why they bought out the Ronson company - because Ronson/Ronsonol fluid and flints were a little cheaper and people were buying that instead. So now the Ronson branded stuff is the same as Zippo because they reformulated the fluid to match (basically why bother having 2 different formulas.). Although the Zippo fluid is in the fancier metal can where as the Ronsonl comes in a bright yellow plastic bottle. So same stuff, Ronson is still a little cheaper, so that's what I buy except when I buy stuff as presents for people. I don't how well their lifetime gurantees work outside of the US - but it's great here. I sent my now 16 year old lighter to them for repairs 3 times now. - 2 times because the cam spring broke on the insert (the piece that makes the classic click sound and holds the lid closed, after so many uses it can break off) and once because I dropped it on the ground hinge got bent and it wouldn't close properly. It always came back with a new insert hinge realigned and tightened and in a new box with the old broken insert - I'm guessing they give the broken part back because a lot of Zippo lighters have a lot of sentimental value to people - my step father in-law doesn't smoke but still loves his lighter from his friend that passed a while ago.

What's the average temperature of the zippo while in its bag?

Good for those with hand arthritis attack during winter, or if you're having cold hands/nervous before a very important presentation or interview. Some interviewers are turned off when shaking hands with nervous job applicants with cold hand.

been using a zippo style hand warmer for 40+years. worked perfectly every time. a usb battery will not last 40 years, and you will need a new one. buy a liquid fueled one....buy it once.

I have given up on rechargeable ones, none of them last nearly as long as claimed. Now ordered a Zippo

How long does it take the reach maximum heat after burn

Wish you would have checked the zippo again at the end to see how hot it finally got.

i filled mine and lit it with a torch lighter barely 30sec later. quite warm in less than 2min.

Just watched codys labs video where he was refining car catalytic converters. He showed that if you heat the catalyst and supply fuel it burns without a flame. I wonder if you can build yourself a unit like this with a car catalytic converter. Might be a bit overkill but still...

A Taiwan made hand warmer called LAMP(LP-740)cost only USD$7.4, with little enhensive modification, it can last 21 - 23 hours, uses all kinds of hand warmer fuel.

Wow 20 pounds? The doctor says I'm worth 200 pounds. Lol. Good review

I misplaced the case. I wonder if they will mail me a new one

Hi. Could you please let me know, if you can remember, was the Zippo unit you reviewed made in Taiwan? It's just I have purchased one off Amazon and it is really cheap and does't work well at all! Curious. Thanks

Wonder about the fuel smell when hunting? I have good cold toughness but sometimes when hunting, I'll have my shooting hand out of the heavy glove to run range-finder and take the shot. Then after the shot I've needed to do an emergency warming of my hands. This would better than sticking my hands down my pants....

I bought a cheap chinese copy and although quite decent, it does have some issues. I didn't know i would use it that much so i should probably go to buy this high quality Zippo version. I want to carry the Zippo lighter but don't smoke, so the hand warmer makes some excuse to carry the lighter :) Good to have this under coat when riding moped in cold weather. Btw cheap alternative fuel is good for this too.

Pls review the Led selfir light the one u show on organizing ur cables

Can you put the cap on the other way so the camo lines up?

Good review, I'll go buy none or two.

Hmm, I wonder how the Peacock compares.

is it ok to leave it in your pocket ?

The zippos ate nice but so are the throw aways and yes they do last as advertised. I use the throw aways a lot more you can stick them wherever you want, that's just me, but yeah the zippos work good too.

I like how they do it in camo.. yet recommend putting it the bag when in use :/ clever

If I use the Zippo Hand Warmer to warm my hands in a sleeping bad in a tent and fall asleep holding it is there a danger? A danger it will take the oxygen. Carbon monoxide poisoning?

I want to mount this just 5-6cm (2.3") under my fretboard on my guitar, to warm my left hand while I play. How far does this RADIATE heat? would it warm my hand 2-3 inches from my hand? I can't 'hold' it while playing for obvious reasons :-p

what did you use and plug in mobile phone to measure the temperature?

Would you say the zippo handwarmer is good for use in a sleeping bag at colder temperatures close to 0'C? I mean, since it''s already in a cloth bag, the risk of it catching fire must be extremely low?

The question we all need to ask is how long does the wick last. How many times can it be relit?

How smelly is it? I bought a cheap electrical one for my hands in the car during winter while it's still warming up. Haven't tried it yet. Saw this device beside it for 5 dollars more but I figured I didn't want to smell like fuel if I go for a walk and take it. Does it smell?

Just ordered one from Amazon for $8.50

What is the volume of lighter fluid for a 12 hour burn?

what app are you using to check the heat?

This little "case" is called a pouch. It works most excellent...so does the cheap Chinese knock-off sold on eBay for a couple of $

I've had mine for a couple of years and love it, however I've lost the little filling device. Can anyone please tell me how many mls of fluid you use to get to the 12 hour mark? I love your video, and comparison of the handwarmers with various heating types. You've got a new subscriber.

Can these be filled with petrol (unleaded) or will they only work with lighter fuel?

How did you tell the temp on the iPad??

Do you get your Amazon stuff shipped here in the Philippines or when you're aboard?

You can extinguish it by placing it in its pouch, and putting it in a zip lock bag, to suffocate it

The military needs to start issuing these things out, I can only imagine how nice that would feel if you tucked it into the breast pocket of your uniform on a cold day in the field.

to turn off the zippo, take your pocket knife and on either end of the burner is a slat and all you do is pop it off. You let it cool in a safe spot. Once cooled you can just put it in the vented lid and put the lid back on. Thats how you turn off your zippo hand warmer ...

Surely it has to smell ?

Screems usa zippo is awsome.

Their best use is under your jacket. They soak heat into you that circulates all over.

i've gotten mine to last 24 hours before don't know what i did, was using zippo handwarmer fuel.

I knew they would be awsome being zippo to be around sense ww2

Remember that the pouch hand warmer has to be touching the surface of your skin to increase the heat...

The disposable one needs to be put in a pocket. Sitting on the table it won't get as hot.

Really wish i needed a hand warmer, around here the air is enough to warm you...

its lit baby....ok too much

A catalytic converter is a part to a car

Take off the lid? Mine just falls off.

Nah, S-Boston hand warmer has lasted me over 15 hours and can be turned off and restarted again. The S-Boston also starts up using batteries so you don't need a flame and it stands vertical on its own.

Cool

This is how a Zippo functions....Zippo hand warmers do not run on lighter fluid..in fact lighter fluid should NEVER touch the catalytic burner ot it will be ruined. ..but instead run on the "fumes of the lighter fluid" as it evaporates up from below and into the little burner head. As the fumes fill the catalytic burner material, a grey fuzzy stuff coated with a very light coating of platinum found it the head that pops off when filling.....the burner begins to glow like an ember when a match is put to it. Touch the blue part of the flame to the wick..not the yellow part of the flame. ..ithe burner will looks orange, almost like the tip of a cigar in a dark room and will then continue to glow with heat, as it consumes the fumes which constantly rise up from the bottom fuel holder below it. When all the fuel has evaporated, often 12 to 20 hours..the burner simply goes out. Your cars converter has heat from the engine flow over tiny platinum balls found in your cars catalytic converter under the car near the tail pipe. .this burns off engine odors. The hand warmer operates the very same way.

LOL! Of course you don’t have to remove the catalytic burner with your fingers. The small pliers in your Swiss Army knife (you DO have a Swiss Army knife don’t you?) can pinch it. Also, you can tap the unit upside down firmly and knock the burner off in to the lid.

got mine for 2 dollars at a flea market in EU :D

Seems like I’d spend a lot on fuel if used regularly. Once in a while zippo seems like the best option.

Yuru Camp Manga brought me to here lol

Hello

I just charged my iphone and i have a fucking hand burner

Why am i watching this, i live in tropical country.

frhee hours

to warm my hand i just light a zippo for aroung 30 sec and than i just keep it in my hands :D

I used the disposable chemical hand warmers and about an hour later I got a terrible metallic taste in my mouth because the warmer is filled with iron oxide and I was absorbing it through the skin while holding it in my hands. I threw the hand warmers away and will never use them again. What a terrible product. Use the Zippo or electric heaters instead because they work better and are much safer.

Your handy warmer video is so great !! Awesome!! I subscribed your channel ! If you have time , please visit my aerial travel and drone channel . Have a nice day !!

I use my Swiss army knife to take off the catalytic converter and put it to the side

but for some reason That USB powered heater is much more safer

Put it in a sandwich bag to put them out.

Don't use this while deer hunting unless you like deer snorting at you and staying too far away for a bow kill. I was hunting from a tree stand yesterday in below freezing temps and never saw a deer. I just heard them. It's a great hand warmer but not for deer hunting

buys cammo or black or clear zippo puts it in bag then in pocket lol so whos gunna see it no one stupid just make one color

First

че это за хрень?

nice product but not suitable over here :)

Don’t buy Zippo:..... no spare parts- no wicks available- you must buy a whole new Zippo! 👎.... Zippo👎
