I see there are two different Zippo hand warmers, the original and this new "A-Frame". Can anyone tell me what the difference is?

The difference is the burner element. This is the replaceable piece. The fibers in the original go to the top of the metal "cage" and it is more enclosed. The new a-frame burner is more open at the top middle and the element is only at the very bottom. I don't have any experience with the original, but I feel like the a-frame burner isn't very good. I had trouble lighting it and then keeping it let. After the third use, the burner pretty much disintegrated. I'm not sure, but from reading reviews it seem there are problems with both models. I think many people wrote reviews after minimal use, mine worked fine twice. I also wonder if there is a lot of variance on the quality of the burner elements.

"armor" means that the lighter's metal walls are thicker than the usual Zippo. I've been very pleased with mine. I have two now - one that I've inserted a separately purchased butane insert and the other has the origninal. I love them both and would recommend both.

Not sure about super body hand warmers. I'm just happy with Hot Hands. They never did give up on me and there were times I was out in O degree weather all day. If they slowed down, all I had to do was pull them out in the air and shake them couple times and they fired right back up. If fact they were still warming the next day when I went to replace them. If super body and hand warmers are better I would like to try them as well.

You can use Zippo Lighter Fluid.It worked just fineZippo makes a hand warmer that's just like the jon-e just no wick to get it started.Jon-e and Zippo have the same smell when running.Hope this helps you out.

I am making the assumption that the ones you are referring to are the body warmers. They are bigger and do last longer but there are fewer to a box. Each package in the box of body warmers contains 1 warmer and each package in the box of hand warmers contains 2 warmers (i.e.1 pair).

Hey Bradley, there is quite a difference in the size... I have found that the difference in the "melt time" is even bigger than the appearance. It takes a couple cycles for the large size to freeze to its max size, especially here in Florida unless I have the air conditioner very cold inside which I dont like.

can't say really. looks like by amazons description the super body are larger. I use my hand warmers when I ride my motorcycle. hothands are just the right size to fit in the palm of my hand and keep my hands warm without interfering with my grip while riding. they are fine next to the skin, they are warm but not too hot. they last all day. Now my kids steal them to put one in their jacket pockets because they walk home from school. so for me, I like the size of the hot hands.

I like the the brass, but if you are going to have it engraved (popular thing to do in the military) then the chrome/silver finish is better as it shows the engraving better. Bottom line? I have one of each, both with my Army unit symbols on them. On my old silver finish Zippo from the VN War, the base metal is brass. It just has a chrome finish over the brass.

I doubt it, otherwise they'd tout it! All the cans say "Premium" on them. I'd hate to see what their version of regular is! Probably candlewax- You want to look for Vector brand and/or Gasone. - If you have a lighter that just can't get it up, or can get it up but not keep it up, you'll want to look towards those other two brands mentioned. Zippo unfortunately lives up to it's name.

I have used both and had the more expensive one first. It did not heat the lotion as well and if you used more than a few pumps it was cold. It quit working about a year after purchase which prompted me to purchase the lower priced model when I replaced. The lower priced one seems to be much better and keeps all the lotion nice and warm. It is easier to clean and overall I like it better. I use mine in my massage therapy practice so it gets a good workout each day. Overall I am happier with the less expensive model.

Brylane sells one that looks just like the Sanyo Toasty. I'm thinking about ordering it online, since my sister adores her Sanyo and I can't find one.

I would suggest you put your Zippo hand warmer out when you do not need to burn the fuel. Fuel is not cheap, I believe somewhere in the instructions are details on how to extinguish it correctly. If your instructions are missing ask again and I will fish mine out from hiding to more completely answer your question.

I bought this for a friend and have only seen it once. From what I recall, it's demintions are exactly like my zippo and any I've seen. The picture on amazon makes it look smaller.

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.

I purchased the warmer on Amazon and the one I purchased is called the Satin Smooth Professional Single Wax Warmer. It works great. I think it was $34.95. I also purchased a container with various sizes of sticks that look the same as popsicle sticks, but in three different sizes.

I don't know the difference but must admit that I am happier with this one more than the previous one, it seems lighter and more durable. Sorry can't be more of help
