Evaporation issue.. I ordered the designated Zippo lighter fluid.. my only concern is that it evaporates rather quickly?

No more quickly than any other brand of fluid, at least to my experience. Actually, Zippo and Ronson's seem to be two of the better choices available. Cheaper brands, such as Neon, seem to get "used up" much more quickly.

Zippos do that. Nothing is wrong with it. It does it because the Zippo isn't sealed like other lighters. Get a Zippo Butane if you want to avoid this issue

Make sure the spout is closed tight when you finish filling your lighter,if your speaking abour your lighterI fill mine every other day !

I would think it does not evaporate quickly because its in a bottle. But just this lighter there is no lighter fluid.

It will, as the fluid travels through the wick and evaporates, much like it does when lit. The aerosolized fuel is what's on fire. Same when not lit. Hope this helps.

I use zippo but either works fine. Just don't wrench down on o ring or fluid will evaporate quicker. When fluid does evaporate quickly you know it's time to replace o ring! :)

As long as you keep the cap on, it will evaporate on a much slower rate compared to a regular zippo. But don't assume that it will still be full if you filled it and left it there for a year or two.

Zippo Lighter fluid. You don't have to use the Zippo brand fluid though. I use Ronsonol and it works great.

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.

I remember you could buy a 1 refill pack from Zippo (0.15 oz. 5ml.) so it should last you around 25 refillsAs mentioned before by Andre do not overfill, a lot of people lose fluid because of that.

It is large enough to fill a Zippo lighter 2-3 times, so it should give you one fill on your handwarmer. You will find it is a temporary fill, because you will lose some to evaporation. I don't see its capacity listed anywhere, even on the Zippo website and I threw away the package.

Zippo recommends that you only use Zippo fluid. I have an extensive collection of Zippos and have used Ronsonol and a few other brands, and the lighters don't perform as well and other fluids evaporate quicker.

No. Mine was shipped empty and I had to purchase a can of butane. Depending how much you use it a can will last you a long time. I've already refilled my lighter 6 times and the can is probably still have full.

i carry mine with me for the quick little touch ups -- living in louisiana the humidity is horrible -- i have not had any issues -- i just pulled mine out and tried it -- screw cylinder in -- push the "on" button, listen for the hiss, then slide the ignitor (took 2 times), touch to feel the cylinder getting hot!!! ta da!!! works like a charm!!! hope this helps!

I use ronsonol or zippo fluid. I would worry BBQ fluid wouldn't burn as clean and leave a residue behind and gum up your lighter.

I am not sure if it s pressurized, but I have been using it with Zippo lighters for over 20 years. You may be thinking of the cannisters of fluid used for butane lighters. Authentic Zippo lighters will always work with this product.

yes you need to put lighter fluid in it. It isn't shipped filled ready to go unfortunately.

I don't seem to have this issue with mine. While it does lose a little bit of the smell because the water is evaporating, It's not that much different than when first turning on. Another thought would be that maybe you are "used" to the smell after diffusing for a period of time that it doesn't seem as strong.

If you lighter uses liquid fluid as combustible that can be poured for refilling, YES you can refill it with this. If your lighter uses gases like propane or butane, then you cannot use it. Those lighters need to be refilled into a chamber through a valve that keeps the gas under pressure. This Zippo lighter fluid has to be POURED to a compartment that has a plush that absorbs and keep it.

Cool. It's ionized so there not actually much vapor, just a thin stream. I love mine and I even thought about getting another one if that ever tears up. It's great for eo's :)
