It works. Never seen anyone do a side by side test, to see its efficacy against VM&P or whatever, but it evaps clean, and certainly does the trick. A bit expensive generally, but whatever. "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha

Yeah it definitely works. Its all I can get too. Xylene is also good for a full spectrum pull and it cheaper than Zippo fluid. Its just quite noxious. Sonorous fractal manifestastions,

Be aware that there are some impurities in zippo lighter fluid. I bought couple myself but after reading about it on the web I decided not to use it. Just try google.
Would it be a surprise if lighter fluid wouldn't be totally pure?

R0nsonol in the UK is VM&P naphtha if you can get hold of that in Ireland as well…

Yeah Tele I also saw some other additives. I know alot of lighter fluids contain some sort of oil to stop rust, but Zippo doesn't have anything like that. The MSDS for Zippo fluid lists a few other commonly used chemicals in spice extraction so I wouldnt worry too much. my only concern is that if you add up the %'s they state you get over 100% volume. either their maths is flawed or I'm reading it wrong.

The thing is, lighter fuels can change composition depending on country, batch, etc.. Do an evap test with whatever you have anyways.

Heres the MDSDS http://www.nafaa.org/ZIPPO_MSDS.pdf It is common in my experience that if you get a COA (certificate of analysis) when you purchase a chemical from a real chemical supplier that the COA will show numbers which can be greater than 100% either alone of in combination with H20 or other impurities. Perhaps a real chemist here could explain this?????

It does work, I have run teks with it several times for other extractions. Be careful though, it is far from the purest thing around.

I did evap test on UK coleman fuel,ronsonol and zippo. Uk Coleman fuel was clean , ronsonol ok as well but zippo not good. I would not use zippo if I was you. We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

I also use Zippo, because I haven't discovered anything else around here yet. It works, I admit the yield could be better but it works. However, for me this naptha evaporates cleanly (doesn't leave visible signs of residue). Should we be worried if it evaps cleanly? Can you share your reasons of why one should not use zippo? Cheers! The truth...lies within.

It can still very from batch to batch. Test evap all solvents.

Yeah I test evap every bottle of Zippo fluid I get and its always good. Bit troubling that it can vary so much from one country to the next when they only have 1 MSDS (material safety data sheet) for the entire world. Sonorous fractal manifestastions,

yes it works ! , i always use zippo or ronsol .. but i never evap them i just use the freezer .. because i noticed when i evap it always become jello ..

been testing the zippo and when i poor onto glass dish you can see little speks which i think are impuritys however its been used with great results in the past...  but as mentioned not the purist possibility to try if you can. Best to use something with a more broad spectrum imo
