Zippo handwarmers

[fish2704]

Got a couple of zippo hand warmers for xmas. They light no problem but once I put them in my floaty pocket they go out. Tried lighting an hour before I go out but make no difference. Any solutions.

My brother has the same problem, I bought a couple of the copies from eBay and there spot on.

Got the Whitby warmers and they are red hot and last for ever when filled up plus as Scotty says they are better without the black bag

I've just got one they're totally fine and very hot be careful if you take them out the pouch when alight as they could burn you

They go out as the catalyst comes off the bit where you pour the petrol in be as careful as possible with them and they will stay alight

Interesting. My Zippo one does the same, but the Peacock ones I have work fine.
