will the fuel vaporize in a few weeks like a standard zippo?

I've had it for several months on my key chain almost every day in my pocket. So far it has not vaporized. It still lights.

No. I leave one in my backpack and check it now and then. Just make sure its tight

I don't think so. This stuff is pressurized butane. Zippo's use a squeeze bottle of lighter fluid. I used to use Ronson brand

No it won't last that long, calculate minutes, it died roughly in 2 days using it 2-4 times a day. Small quart size bags, 7-10 seconds to seal the bags. Look into the ziploc hand pump if you want to use it unlimited days if traveling or camping, they worked well for me. Just put the seal area on a folded towel or on top of some napkins to help with a good seal, a completely flat surface can't allow air to be expelled.

Lighter fluid evaporates fast so if you don't use the Zippo for a while, it probably evaporated. I fill my lighter to overflowing, shake "free" fluid off for safety, and use it. Be sure to lift the felt flap when refueling. And be careful!

It will hold the air for quite a while. It will eventually deplete but over a long time period. If you shoot a few times a night, it should last for weeks

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

a bottle of fuel would last at least 2 weeks used every single day but probly more like 4 weeks. not expensive for fual and flint man ronsonol fuel is cheap and good and flint is cheap too...i have this thing and love it to death in the winter...if you want to save fuel what i do when its not in use is pop the element off and put saran wrap over the top of vent and rubberband it so the gas doesnt evaporate out.

Probably not. The manual says "Propane tanks must have sufficient capacity to provide adequate vaporization for the full capacity of the equipment at the lowest expected temperatures. Consult a propane company expert for correct sizing."

My CO2 cylinder has been in the gun for over 3 months, and is still fine. My guess would be that as is it ages, it will last less, due to the seals.It's not a very expensive gun...............we'll see!!

Yes, it takes about 5 minutes for the electric heating element to start vaporizing the liquid, then it will start smoking at the tip. Also recommend you use a heavy duty extension cord of 14 ga.

Zippo is pretty good or anything that says 'triple refined'. Before you fill it be sure to vent it first by pushi down on the hold with a nail or pen. The gas coming out May be cold so wear gloves or be very careful. Vent until empty, refill, then wait about five minutes to give the temperatures a chance to equalize.

This 12oz can will probably fill 12 to 15 of the Zippo lighters or fill 1 lighter 12 to 15 times. That's a guess.

My experience is over 200 in 2+months...but, as would be the case with any Co2 cartridge, when you are near the end, there is less power popping the pellet...less speed, distance and accuracy.

I have not attempted it but it is the standard size of a zippo lighter, it works well

I guess you could if you REALLY wanted too....but I think you'll be dealing with a marshmallow mess after. As far as tank time..depends on flame setting..on high I get about 5 hrs. This thing is really for atmosphere. ..not cooking.

No you need the Zippo Butane Fuel for it to work and it works very nicely once you get the right fuel.

I have only had mine since this january (2014) and it still has a stong flame . I have heard that it will hold the fuel for some time from other buyers of this product.
