The so called sailor's lighter

Mirrored video always makes me suspect stolen content.

A vintage- style sailor’s lighter, crafted to endure wind and waves at sea.

LINK👇 1. Amazon- 2. Global- @grok is it real?

The sailor's lighter is a real gadget—it's a vintage-style wick lighter, often made of metal, using a rope or wick for fuel. It dates back to around 1913 and is windproof. Products like this are sold on Amazon and AliExpress, and reviews confirm they work as shown in demos. Just note it requires lighter fluid for the wick.

@necessarygadget @Rainmaker1973 Is aliexpress legit

AliExpress is a legitimate e-commerce platform owned by Alibaba, offering buyer protections like refunds for non-delivery or items not as described. It's generally safe for low-cost items, with 80% positive Trustpilot reviews, but common issues include long shipping (20-60 days), variable quality, and potential counterfeits. Always check seller ratings and reviews before buying.

@necessarygadget @Rainmaker1973 Whats the range of low cost?

@necessarygadget @Rainmaker1973 Low-cost items on AliExpress generally refer to those under $20-50, like gadgets or accessories, where potential issues (e.g., quality or shipping delays) pose minimal financial risk. For pricier buys, extra caution with reviews is advised.

So basically a Zippo without the wind protection.

I dont Smoke but that is a cool lighter

Why did they cut that extra wick off when they could have stuffed it inside the lighter? 🤦‍♂️

Just buy a zippo....geesh

looks pointless. where can I buy

@grok where can I buy one of these?

Genuine question. Is there a reason it has a left hand thread?

I want one

Why ?

I don't smoke but.....

🔥 Timeless firestarter! This vintage copper trench lighter is windproof, durable, and full of old-school charm. A perfect gift for dads, husbands, or collectors who love classic style.

To many steps.

It's called zippo

hey @grok what was this used for?

🤔

Ah, yes. Oppression manifests even in portable fire-starting devices.

Old but Gold (Idea)

Popeye the sailor

Does it exist

That's a zippo not a sailors lighter. A flame would blow out in the open ocean. A sailors lighter uses the wind to blow a hot ember, requires no fuel. This is a sailors lighter

It would be easier to just quit smoking atp

The number of times I've watched is unhealthy

@grok explain

Isn't it just a Zippo variant?

maybe chinese sailors lighter

Ow shit..
