Zippo handwarmers, refilling the wick

(1/2) > >>

Mo_coon-catcher:
I have a couple of Zippo hand warmers and only one of them worked. Since hunting season is creeping close I decided to see about getting a new wick for it so I can run both of them. While looking for a new one I found out what you can replace the batting in the wick with. The stuff used is called Platinum bright embers. So if you have some of this style hand warmer that doesn’t work anymore or have some without the batting in the metal wick. You can repack them with this stuff. It’s about $25 for a bag but that bag will do Atleast 100 refills of the wick. So essentially a lifetime of keeping these guys going.

I recently learned about this so figured id spread the knowledge

Actually, they get pretty warm >:D (lol)!  If I remember correctly, one fill lasts all day, there is(was) a larger model that would run about 24 hours.  Jonee was the original brand name, about 60 plus years ago.
