PPFISH Mini Brass Lighter - EDC Peanut Lighter Keychain - Waterproof Fire Starter Especially for Survival and Emergency Use

Took a bit to get it to light but after you let it burn for a bit the wick breaks in and it lights almost every time. This is great because sometimes people ask me for a light but I don’t smoke so now I have a cool way to help them out. For some reason on the bottom it has the words stamped into the metal “fine copper” maybe it is copper and its just a brass coating. I hope not. The brass lid and body are not as thin as I thought it would be, its actually quite thick which makes it durable but the actual tube part that holds the fluid is not a roomy as other lighters. However this is a keychain lighter and its sealed unlike zippo’s so the fluid wont evaporate. Id expect this thing to be able to light just fine in a year if I never open it.

Great little lighter, it is nice and heavy for the size and looks built well. One thing that was a downside is the inner cylinder that contains the fuel cotton and striking wheel wants to slide out pretty easily, but I was able to fix this by placing a small strip of quality clear packaging tape halfway around the bottom of the inner cylinder so you can still take it on/off without issue and still have it not fall out. Now that this has been done it doesn’t slide out and now has an airtight seal since you can hear the air being pushed out when putting it in, and a small suction pop that occurs when you pull it out to refuel. This also likely will lengthen the life of the fuel. I took a picture that has the logo of the brand of tape I used and what it looks like for anyone else that has this issue.

This lighter is a quality-made, reliable little lighter. I purchased one to keep on my everyday carry key-ring. It seems a little heavy for a lighter this small, but you get used to it after a few days. It's on my key-ring every day that I'm out somewhere. I was carrying a Zippo lighter in my pocket prior to this, but the fuel in the Zippo evaporates out quickly and the Zippo always smells of lighter fluid. This mini-lighter has a rubber seal that prevents the fuel from evaporating and it lights first try - every time. I test it every two or three days and on the first fill-up of lighter fluid, it lasted more than three weeks. To be sure, a Zippo might work better when you're using it in the wind, because there is no shield around the wick in this mini-lighter. But I'll take this over the Zippo any time for the convenience of its size and the fact that it doesn't leak lighter fluid or have any odor. This is a great little lighter and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to carry around a good-quality mini lighter without having to constantly replace used-up Bic lighters or carry something larger. I suspect some of my friends will be receiving this mini-lighter as holiday gifts next Christmas season.

This is a fluid-fueled lighter that is designed to prevent fuel loss through evaporation, unlike Zippo-style lighters that lose their fuel typically within a period of days or weeks at most. It's small and very sturdy and has a conventional flint wheel and wick for ignition. The two body pieces are finely threaded, and an O-ring provides a positive seal. Bushcraft enthusiasts say you should have at least three different ways of creating fire in the field. I suggest you make this one of yours. Having a butane lighter is okay, but too often they're empty when you need them.

Perfect in almost every way. If you have wuss hands like I do this flint is gonna be hard on your skin. The striker wheel left little cuts in the first layer of my skin. A zippo has never done that to me

Update: been using this every day for a few months now... Multiple times a day. Still 5 star! If I lost it I would immediately but again. I still haven't worn out either the wick or flint. Lights every time and I'm starting to like it better than my Zippo. Also the replacement process of the wick is going to be a bit tricky.... be prepared to use maybe needle and thread to get the wick thru the hole of the lighter. BTW.... i have yet to replace my wick.... only tugged on it (via pliers) to bring it up by 1/8th of and inch. I think i could do this maybe another 4-5 times before having to replace the wick. This thing has been solid in ALL temp conditions (butane lighters can be brutal in cold temps) and outdoor uses (wet or snowy fingers). I don't know if its the flash point of butane is so much higher than typical zippo fluid or that if you grab this brass piece out of your car it warms in your hand much quicker than a plastic lighter would... either way... I've snagged this lighter in sub zero weather and had it light up quickly....30-60 seconds faster than a plastic bic lighter. it seems to kick off in 1-3 strikes in 1-10 secs vs a bic that is 1 - 60+ strikes in 1sec - 2 min in extreme cold (i.e. 0 deg F to maybe -10 deg f). if above freezing than a bic / this lighter works... below that go with this style lighter. If you are outdoorsy go with this lighter.... its more tolerate of moisture and its not a huge weight impact. I'm ordering more a few more lighters! Original: I really like this lighter.... stays "fresh" unlike my Zippos. Not nearly as wind proof as a zippo but always lights. This is a great backup lighter or camping piece of kit. Very solid construction and comes with a lot of spare parts etc. Would definitely buy again.

This is very high quality for the price it’s brass and it’s heavy worth every penny ! It also stands up to wind and rain perfectly no leaking and the flame is perfect

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this lighter. It came with spare flints & wicks, a small cleaning brush, and a couple spare rubber O rings. It’s stamped “fine copper” on the bottom but appears to be solid brass. I actually prefer brass for an application like this. The completely sealed design keeps the fluid from evaporating like it does in a Zippo. It’s not really large enough for big jobs like lighting a cigar, but it’s perfect for lighting a candle or starting a campfire. I ended up buying a second.
