Title: Kaps On Fire Wallet
Description: A little help? :D

Hey,
I've been using my Kaps on Fire for a while now and the flint stone ("fire stone" the one that creates the sparks for ignition) is being pretty much worn out.
You would probably direct me to get new "stones" from Zippo company which costs less than $5. But the size is simply too big to go through the gauge of the fire wallet's. I have people telling me that it MIGHT be USA style? That the standard stones they use there are slightly smaller (probably not from Zippo).
If you own a Fire Wallet, you'd know what I mean. Anyone can help me out with this? I really hope to get my wallet back up and running.. :lol:

Hi bro, the flint can be bought at hardware shop like homefix, or any DIY shop i guess. I got mine at homefix at $1.80 for 5 pieces.
Hope it helps

Don't go for those la bro. I have cheaper alternatives. Extract one from a lighter. Cheap and easily available.

I already said I have tried those, and its too big for the guage to go in. If you're using the zippo flints, then you're not using Kaps on Fire apparently.
And what Loyalover meant is to extract the flint stone from those normal $1.20 lighters you can buy from Kopitiam. Its not very cheap actually, considering you're gonna dismantle the lighter just for the flint, thats $1.20. But go to 77th Street or Homefix (like you mentioned yourself) and its only $1.80 for 5 pieces (Once again you mentioned that yourself too)
And I cant imagine how you use up a flint within a week, thats simply not possible, especially in a fire wallet. A flint in my normal Zippo lighter (for lighting ciggarettes and birthday candles etc) can last up to half a year or more. As for how I use up my flint in my fire wallet; I didnt, I took it out and lost it in the midst of cleaning the wallet. Its kinda impossible to use up the flint in a week no matter how heavy your usage is. :wacko:
Lastly, I fixed my wallet. Yay! FLAME ON! :!!:

I would say go for Jim Pace's new Volcano Wallet. I bought his updated version of electric hot leads. I think the mechanism is similar. If so, it is worth every cent.

I had the previous version of Hot Leads before but its a hassle to prepare the cards before hand. Nonetheless its a extremely fun effect; all fire effects are damn fun.
As for volcano wallet, the size is much smaller than a regular wallet, and it cant hold like 5 or 6 cards like the Kaps on Fire. I've been playing with lotsa Fire Wallets for a long long time, and I'd say the best on the market now is the Kaps on Fire. The standby time for Kaps on Fire is also incredibly long, actually the longest I've known. :lol:
