He had a transfer flight in Shanghai and officials didn't allow the lighters to be carried in the suitcase. Since then (living in Shanghai) I'm trying to find some company willing to ship those instead. Seems impossible??!!!

About how long can one keep the flame lit on a Zippo lighter? Ive heard that plastic disposable lighters should not be held on for more than ten seconds, however Zippo's much more rugged construction seems to allow a flame to burn for a much longer time frame and could second as a mini lantern or even an emergency candle. Is there an official limit expressed by Zippo as to how long one can hold the flame without causing permanent damage or any other malfunction? If there is none, then what is the longest time anyone has left their Zippo lighter on for?
