Yes, they can create heat without a visible flame, but to produce that heat, they still require the same chemical reaction that burns fuel and creates energy and heat. Take, for instance, the Zippo hand warmer pictured above. It houses a lighter fluid reservoir — with an odd cotton-like mesh inside of it — that needs to be filled prior to operation. That unit draws the fuel into it and, when exposed to fire yes you need a separate lighter or matches to start the reaction , begins the combustion process without a visible flame.
Then, you simply put the protective casing back over the top of it and you are free to put the warmer wherever you need it. There are a couple big downsides to this kind of hand warmer. For one, it takes a little bit of time to prepare. You have to fill up the reservoir prior to each use and then wait a couple minutes before igniting it in order to give the fuel a chance to spread throughout the reservoir.
That means, each time you fill it up, you have to let the hand warmer run its course and burn all of the fuel. All told, however, this is still a more economical and less wasteful option that disposable hand warmers. Generally speaking, these types of warmers have a functional life of about 6-hours per charge. In them, a rechargeable battery sends power to an onboard electrically resistive heating device, which converts that energy into heat. On simple devices, the level of heat is fixed.
On more complex ones, the user can select the level of heat put out by the device. Then, once the battery is spent, all you have to do is plug it in and charge it back up for subsequent use. Generally speaking, these types of warmers have a functional life of about 6-hours per charge — which changes depending on the level of heat output. But they are arguably the most economical from a cost-after-purchase angle and are the most environmentally friendly when it comes to usage.

The expert warned of the risk of fire that could result from a leak when refilling excess lighter oil or when using unsuitable fuel. Well everyone is different and there is nothing specific about how many days it will last, but if you want an average, a Zippo lighter can last up to 1 week in our opinion.
So you have to fill it out. Zippo recommends using Zippo Lighter Fluid or Rosonol. The reason for using the recommended liquid types is that they are specifically designed for a clean burn, which means less smoke and contamination of the Zippo wick and the teeth themselves. How to turn off a Zippo hand warmer when you are out and about.
Turn the hand warmer upside down and clap your hand with a hand warming motion so that the burner falls into the hood. Then turn the hand warmer upside down for a few minutes, open the hand warmer, replace the burner and save it for next time! Air hand warmers contain cellulose, iron, activated carbon, vermiculite which holds water and salt and generate heat by exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. Reusable hand warmers do not contain iron, but instead use a supersaturated sodium acetate solution that releases heat as it crystallizes.
By boiling the used package, the solution is returned to its supersaturated state. Air hand warmers cannot be reused. It should fit tightly.
The burner may not have ignited properly. Repeat the lighting instructions. Make sure there is enough lighter fluid in the Hand Warmer. Lighter fluid will evaporate even when Hand Warmer is not in use.
The burner might need replacing. Burners need replacing after approximately 70 uses. How do I stop my Hand Warmer from heating? Does the Hand Warmer need oxygen to operate? Do I have to use the provided bag? How long does one fill last or how often does it need refilled? The 6-Hour Hand Warmer, when filled with fuel using the plastic cup filled to the lower line, will heat up to 6 hours.
