How can I break the news to you. Well, they were both manufactured by IMCO of Austria. I found this out by ordering a bunch of Super Triplex's and accidentally getting a smattering of both Prometheus and Firebirds mixed in with the IMCO brand.

So, what I'm trying to say is, don't fret if you have a Prometheus or Firebird that looks an awful lot like an IMCO. It actually is an IMCO. The only difference is the fuel canister cap at the bottom of the lighter. This is good news!

Over the years, I've had a handful of people ask me what to do if their lighter fuel slowly evaporates from their IMCO Lighter. Sometimes, the cotton inside is stuffed too far up the canister, leaving a void at the bottom where the cap is. The cotton can be pulled out with some tweezers and resituated, or more cotton can be added. Just make sure it's genuine cotton. The less open space you have in your canister, the less evaporation will occur.

I hope you are enjoying your IMCO Lighters!

Well, the first thing I did in my new blog was write some stuff, then lose it. Hmm. Since I have been selling IMCO Lighters, I have come accross lots of interesting info about them. I've been using them ever since I got my first order from IMCO.
 
I don't smoke any more since I have a little one, but I still rely on my IMCO's for my multiple camping trips every year. Colorado has been so dry this year, we have a fire ban, but some recent rain may change that.
 
If anyone wants to talk about anything at all relating to IMCO Lighters, please help me get started. By the way, this site is an extension of Thunderhawk Collectables. So for those that know me from that site, nice to see you here! Thanks! RockiesGirl
