So has anybody tried this with just electrical tape in place of the ranger band? I'm wondering if you would get a better seal.
Thanks for the size Langston. I have tried the 26x1.95 and it fits really loose on my Zippo. Wonder what I've done wrong?

Hey doc - yeah that is true, but my experience is also that the solvation power is more limited if it is mainly vapor rather than liquid interacting with the tape. Then again, you could also put electrical tape around the ranger band during storage just as an extra varpor barrier.
Of course the electrical tape does take away the benefit of being able to open and discharge the lighter under cold conditions where lack of coordination comes into play.
