Zippo Hand Warmer, 12-Hour Blaze Orange

ive tested mine for about a week now and it does the job very well. it doesn’t get too hot where you can’t touch it, but it stays a consistent temperature throughout the day (~110° F which is plenty). i don’t really like the catalyst pads in the new ones, but you can easily modify them with “Platinum Bright Embers” for fireplaces in place of the catalyst pads and it will work a LOT better (~125-135° F). i don’t really notice a smell with it. you can smell a hint the lighter fluid if your nose is up against it, but i doubt you would do that for many reasons LOL. it’s very sturdy and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. lasts for over 12 hours. fits in a pocket very nicely and stays warm. these aren’t supposed to have a visible flame. more like a very dim “ember” (shown in the second photo) that you can’t see during the day. just don’t overfill the hand warmer or it might produce a visible flame which you don’t want. if it does, just wait for a bit of the fluid to evaporate then try again. it’s a great older style hand warmer that lasts a lot longer than the electric ones on the market. update: i used platinum bright embers on top of the old catalyst pad and it seems to burn a lot hotter and more consistent. when it’s in the bag it’s really nice but be careful the metal gets pretty hot. i got mine to run for 18 hours on one fill up and it seems to smell a lot less as well. look up a youtube video on how to modify zippo hand warmer i 100% recommend you do that! update #2: i bought the polished chrome one and it burns a LOT hotter than the modified black one some how. i haven’t tried changing the catalyst, but i don’t think i’ll need to. just purchase the chrome one or the 6 hour version if you want tons of heat.
