Last year i decided to replace my old charcol stick handwarmer, never very good and always going out, had to light both ends of the stick to get any warmth from it. Got a zippo hand warmer in a sale what has been so much better. So the other day I was looking on ebay to see if i could pick another one up cheap ( I am one of those who gets cold hands and feet, i stick the warmer in my gloves swaping it from one to the other and sometimes put it in my sock, so really could do with another one lol 4 would be great) i came across these small hand warmers.
£4.68 what includes the postage (took 6 days to come from hong kong). At first i thought what happens when i need a new burner head, probably never find a spare. Then one seller in there listing said they sold spare burners, so i took a look and see they fit zippo hand warmers too, so if they fit the zippo ones the zippo ones will fit these lol problem sorted.
As you can see if the picture you get a bag and filler, thats a lever you move left and right to switch the flow off on the filler, I just filled the hand warmer up the same as i would my lighter with the can of fuel.
First lighting it, put my lighter on the burner for 10secs then blow on it like I do with my zippo and no glow, at first i thought it had not lit so i tried again, still no glow. so i decided to leave it for 5 10mins as it was warm and could not tell if it was lit or warm from my lighter. When i took a look later it was still warm, so these burners do not glow like the zippo one i found out.
This is a nice little hand warmer, smaller than my zippo and fits in my gloves better.

Great price
Fits in a glove better, so you can use your hands doing things easier.
Replace burners easy, zippo one you can always get.

Not as hot as a zippo hand warmer, (warmer if you dont put it in the bag).
I will do a update on how long if last on a fill, i lit if at 3pm. My zippo i lit the other day at 8am and went out just after midnight so got 16 hours from it, more fuel was used being bigger.
Picture of a zippo lighter and hand warmer and the new small hand warmer.
Tomorrow i will put the burner on it from my zippo and update the results.
If this was the first hand warmer i had i would not think twice about getting another one, nice and small great for fitting in your gloves. comes in grey, gold, blue, red and purple (vilolet the seller i got my one from called it) out of stock of red and blue when i got my one, wanted red.
