The Type III Anodized Peanut Lighter XL is a larger version of the original, holding up to three times as much fuel as its popular predecessor. Added fuel capacity makes the XL version great for extended camping and outdoor trips when you need fire for more than a few days Read More
They put their "CAGE U. S. 5VK" to make this look like it's US army issue like most of their over priced items (i do realise some may be actually issued to soldiers "
Bit dodgy.
The main advantage of this over a Zippo is that it's much more airtight, so the fluid takes way longer to evaporate compared to a Zippo. Zippos evaporate in a week or so, but this will stay filled for months, maybe a year or more.
The pictured item doesn't look like anodized aluminum. It looks like the titanium version which is more expensive. Something is clearly amiss here since you can buy a stainless version for $19.99 and the aluminum one for $23.50. I'm thinking they are selling the more expensive titanium one.
LSK3Hey Everybody - thank you for pointing this out, not sure how this happened and I'm looking into it now! I'll update this post shortly.
***UPDATE These are supposed to be $19.99 - fixing it now! Thanks all.
@LSK3 This is type III hard anodization a slightly different process than normal color anodizing.
Massdrop still has this listed as 32 USD postage to Australia. Enough people have pointed this out so I guess it is not an error. They have a tent listed elsewhere with almost the same postage cost. Is there any justification?
Silicon grease (thick sticky kinf, not the spray o kind)may help lubricate the o-ring and keep it from deteriorating as quickly. I use it on my dive camera gaskets and it makes a nice air tight seal too.
