You got me. I just bought a pair for stocking stuffers for myself. Wish I bought them in time for deer season. I can’t wait until next year. But I’ll use them while outside here in New England. Thanks Pal.
Don't know why anyone in their right mind would consider ANY amount of charge time less than four-six hours as TOO LONG for something like this. FIFTEEN HOURS of warmth on low for just a two-three hour charge!
Interesting device. Ultimately the battery will fail to be usable. Maybe it can be replaced. I have a nice long winter parka. I might be interested in a heated vest to go under it.
They probably went back and put in a different resistor or thermistor....I'm not an electrician but they probably saw the flaw in the 1st one (like you said).. getting too hot to hold and that's kind of the point of it.... good stuff Brian....👍
I have two Zippo warmers, a big one and a small one, they are great! I love the small one, I keep it in a small tobacco tin, this allows me to store it for longer with fuel and to put it out by smothering it easily if I'm going to be indoors for a while and need it later, it's quick to fill so I don't need to worry about forgetting to charge it on the one day I really need it as I can buy fuel anywhere should I not already have it. It's always handy to have a lighter anyway, even as a non-smoker these days, so needing one to start it isn't a n issue, in fact it's an advantage to me, there is no accidentally switching it on in a pocket or bag and finding it dead when you need it!

Used mine again today walking the dog. I really enjoy these.

They are great for the cost IMHO...
Two 21700's inside soldered in. Could be replaced with a little "know how".
great video

Either way, they work great for keeping you warm.

In for one, thanks!
I'm pretty stupid going outside and clearing snow without gloves... I could use these to warm my fingers up lol.
It uses two 21700 5000 Ah hour
That would be perfect for the deer stand on those really cold days
My son used both last night. They rock.
