Im 14 and am wondering how old you have to be to buy a zippo in Spokane Washington.
Also let me be clear im not a smoker and dont plan on being one.|||Buying a lighter isn't illegal.|||There's no legal age limit for buying a lighter. They are, after all, used for things other than smoking.

Where can I get a zippo customized with an image of my choosing?
Is there any websites or companies that you know about where I can get a customized image engraved onto a zippo? I've searched everywhere for the type of zippo that I want (a plain chrome zippo with an engraving of a crow) but I can't find anything outside of the zippos with an image from the movie, the crow. so if anyone knows where I can find anything like what I'm talking about, I would greatly appreciate your response.|||If you have an image in mind, just search on 'custom zippo engraving' and you will find many sites on-line, like this one, that do custom engraving on zippo lighters:

Zippo lighter slides out of casing easier than it should?
I have a Zippo windproof lighter and the actual lighter slides out of it's casing really easy and it's annoying. I know it's sliding out more than it should my friend's is harder to remove. Is there a way to make it stay in better? Something i can apply to make it stay and not slide? Thanks in Advance.|||Take the internal part out and squeeze the casing very gently with a pair of pliers. Put some masking tape on the outside of the casing so you don't scratch it. |||Take lighter out of case.
On bottom (end with cotton packing, where you refill it), use needle nose pliers and SLIGHTLY bend out a small section. Go slow and do a little at a time, testing the fit each time. If you go too much, bend it back in a little.

Is it normal that my Zippo smells a lot like lighter fluid?
Hey,
I bought myself a nice Zippo lighter yesterday. But I couldn't find any Zippo lighter fluid, so I just bought some no-name brand and used that. It works fine, but whenever I open my Zippo, it smells an awful lot like the lighter fluid... Is that normal?
Thanks!|||They always tend to smell a little, they use up fluid very fast which may be why you recognise the smell for.|||It's normal. Make sure to not overflow lighter with fluid.|||yeah it's a lighter, and as long as it lights, you need not buy Zippo fluid.|||Mine smells like diesel fuel.

Can anyone give me some history on my vintage Zippo Beechcraft Baron lighter?
I cannot find a date stamp anywhere on the case or the inner portion of the lighter. My grandfather received it with the purchase of his 60's twin-prop Beechcraft.

What is the best way to stretch leather.. I have to stretch it for a Zippo lighter will fit into this pouch?

What's the difference between Zippo fluid and gasoline?
I know Zippo fluid has naptha in it, but naptha is a pretty vague term, from what I read.
I know they smell similar; I like the smell of both of them. =^.^=
(In b4 "you huff them," I don't...)|||Naptha is a rather broad term, and can actually be used to cover various categories of boiling point ranges of low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Gasoline is a much more complex mixture of various hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds, and generally has a higher boiling point. In addition, gasoline has quite a few additive added for engine performance, and in many places, ethanol.
Zippo lighter fluid actually contains a mixture of simple aromatic hydrocarbons, and a few cyclic hydrocarbons. See the link if you wish to get into more detail. But you can expect the ratios to change between batches.|||Both are made from hydrocarbons (petroleum).
Gasoline is a further refinement of naptha (lighter fluid).

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?|||ive used mine as a candle before and i let it burn till it ran out of lighter fluid, but it wasnt full, the only thing is the lighter was really hot and i burnt myself...and my friends|||I expect a Zippo lighter would stay lit until it ran out of fuel. They are proven to be very hardy. How long that would be depends on how much fuel was in it.

How do you do the zippo trick where you put it out with fingers and re-light it with a flick towards the wick?
I think you have to bend the zippo wick a certain way so when you put it out with fingers a very small flame burns in the bent wick, then when you flick the air towards it it re-ignites the whole wick.

I filled my Zippo lighter with regular gasoline and it horribly smells now... Any idea how to clean it?
I just couldn't manage to get the proper filling for Zippo, so I filled it instead with regular gasoline you put into cars. It works somehow, but it smells really horribly after gasoline and I want to get rid of that stink.

So any idea how to clean it from the regular gasoline and remove that stink of it?|||Some of the older lighters are filled with a tight cotton batting so it will hold the fuel. If your is one, haul out the old and replace with the same stuff. pack it tight. Be very careful you are after all playing with fire!!|||you probably have ruined it for life.

(Please hurry this needs to be done by 6 O-clock Oklahoma!)|||No! You do not want your friend to inhale the ignited gas fumes when lighting his cigarette. You wouldn't be fixing a thing by contaminating his lighter with the wrong fuel. It's best you leave it empty than to put gasoline in it.

Will butane eventually evaporate out of a zippo lighter pad?
I found a zippo in my work's lost and found, and asked what you normally fill them with, two different people said butane (and knowing nothing about this stuff, I didn't bother to look it up, I just found a butane refill kit in the sporting goods section). Anyways, now there's butane gas eminating in the lighter, and I'm just now seeing on the zippo website that it only uses lighter fluid. If i open it up and let it sit for a day or two will all the butane evaporate, or is it too dangerous to put a second type of fuel into now? I don't know how the two combustables would react with each other, so I'm just trying to keep from blowing a hand off. Opinions?|||You fill them with a liquid, not a gas.
Butane is a gas at room temperature, so you need to put in lighter fluid. (available at all good tobaconists) I would think all the butane has gone by now. What you might try is lighting it (at arms length) and the chances are nothing will happen. Then fill it with lighter fluid. Not sure what they use. But dont use petrol, its explosive in many cases.
Just found out, Butane boils (ie becomes a gas) at -0.5c. So in other words, theres no butane left in your lighter. You are safe to proceed with lighter fluid.
Have also just found out: Lighter FLUID (not lighter GAS, which as you rightly say is butane) is normally Naptha, a petroleum distillate. Its not the same as napthalene. But basically you want to go and by a bottle of lighter fluid for wick type lighters.|||If you leave your lighter open for a couple of days, all the butane will evaporate and you can safely refill it with lighter fluid. There is no reaction that will occur between the two types of fuel, so you're safe on that front; I'd just worry about a minor explosion if you light the zippo that's under a blanket of combustible gas like butane.

How to make my zippo lighter more reliable?
My zippo lighter is unreliable and will only sometimes work.
I have replaced my wick and keep it full, yet it still lights less than 10% of the time I spark it.
anyone know of some tips to make it more reliable?|||First, use only Zippo or Ronson fuel... other fuels can leave carbon or waxy residues. They also may not ignite reliably.
SECOND, take a Q-Tip soaked in fuel and wipe clean all the sooty deposits in the chimney and around the flint %26amp; flint wheel (Best done with the wick OUT). These deposits can prevent the spark from reaching the wick.
AND of course, you can always make use of Zippo's repair services.

and one more thing, a person who appreciates other people gifts will never get annoyed about the gifts he or she received. so don't bother bout it. :P

How do you refill Zippo lighters with the butane aerosol can?
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble refilling my zippo lighter. I bought a can of zippo butane fuel but its got this weird pressure system i cant figure out, sort of like a hairspray can, but the nozzle is impossible to figure out how the fuel actually comes out.
The directions on the can are cryptic and dont help at all. Do you hold it upright and stick it in the zippo padding, or do you hold it downwards? I tried both ways and got my fingers frozen for some reason.
Looking for advice from someone who actually knows what refiller I'm talking about.
Someone help!|||zippos take lighter fluid, not butane...
all you do with a zippo... is pull out the piece... hold it upside down and put the bottle on top of it, upside down.. and squeeze a few times... so that there is about a tablespoon of fuel in it..
now for a butane lighter... you need to take a small object like a knife, or a screwdriver, that is really small made for eyewear or something, and prod it in the bottom of the lighter... there should be a little metal tube... smaller than a toothpick... you have to press down on that while it is upside down...
this releases the air in the lighter...
then you take your butane can and shake it up real good, and then press down with the can on to that same little tube... with the tube that is on the butane can... and let it sit for about 8 seconds... and then take it off, and then let the lighter set for about a minute before lighting, so that the gas can get room temperature...|||u r using the wrong type of fuel the stuff u need comes in a bottle and u just squirt some into the padding. the kind u have is for butane lighters only not kerosene lighters (your zippo)
hope this helps|||if your zippo is an mlp lighter it does take butane and ur just doing something wrong, but if u have a traditional zippo pocket lighter go buy some zippo lighter fluid take out the insert lift the the part that says lift to fill and fill until i leaks out of the top wipe or burn excess fuel off. trust me i know what im talking about i've been collecting zippo lighters for some time.|||Um, You don't.|||Butane Lighters are a different type of lighter than a Zippo type.

hope this helps|||if your zippo is an mlp lighter it does take butane and ur just doing something wrong, but if u have a traditional zippo pocket lighter go buy some zippo lighter fluid take out the insert lift the the part that says lift to fill and fill until i leaks out of the top wipe or burn excess fuel off. trust me i know what im talking about i've been collecting zippo lighters for some time.|||Um, You don't.|||Butane Lighters are a different type of lighter than a Zippo type. They have a small valve on them that the compressed in that can you have gets squirted into. You need to buy regular lighter fluid in the squeeze type bottle.
Where can I get lighter fluid for my zippo ?
I bought a zippo at a market, but it ran out of fluid. I'm underage to buy the lighter fluid so where could I get some or is there something I could use ? Preferably something safe.|||na you can get it i got mine and im 13 so dont worry but mi profile says in 17 but yea any way you can ge in i got mine from the market and in blacktown.
How long does zippo lighter fluid last?
How long does zippo lighter fluid last in a can that's been opened, but is now closed?|||I have two different containers of lighter fluid for zippo lighters. One is a plastic container, and the other is one of the metal ones. I've had both for over 4 years and they are still as full as the last time they were used.
Each time you open one of them to fill the lighter, there may be some evaporation, but my husband and I both use these types of lighters most of the time, and our fluid supplies are still going strong.
What we seem to go through the most are the flints for the lighters.
Good luck with your own Lighter and the fluid. Just remember to re-seal the container every time you use it.
Blessings to you!

How can I replace a wick in a Zippo?
My mom bought me a Zippo for my birthday. I've never had one before so I don't know how they work, and I pulled out the wick. Upon further research, I learned that I should have left it alone. Can I put it back in or do I have to get a new one? If I can put it back, how?
Thanks in advance.|||1 - Remove the insert from the body or shell of the Zippo (by gripping the bottom of the lighter and on either side of the chimney and pulling apart) as if you were going to re-fuel it.
2- Unscrew the flint spring found on the bottom of the insert, but be careful because since it is spring-loaded it might fall out of your hand when it is unscrewed. If the flint spring screw is too tight to unscrew by hand, use a small flat screwdriver to loosen it first. You can also use the top lid of your lighter to do this as well.
3 - Put the flint spring into the empty shell of the Zippo. Tip out the flint from the bottom of the insert into the empty shell of the Zippo for safekeeping. If it does not fall right out, give it a gentle tap and it should fall right out.
4 - Remove the felt pad and any spare flints (if you keep spares between the felt and the cotton wadding) and set those too in the Zippo shell. Set the Zippo shell aside.
5 - Using the tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out the cotton wadding one piece at a time. You'll notice that it is not all one big wad of cotton but many small overlapping wads. As you set them aside, lay them in more or less the same order or configuration as they were inside the insert. (this will be helpful later).
6 - Insert the new Zippo Wick into the wick hole by way of the chimney. Pull it through so that there is only as much wick in the chimney as will reach the top of the chimney.
7 - Using your pliers, tweezers, or little finger, bend the wick within the insert so that it won't fall out through the hole as you work.
8 - Begin to replace the cotton wadding in reverse order than you pulled it out. The pieces each should have some shape that you can fit together like a puzzle.
9 - As you replace the cotton, make sure to bend and weave the wick through and between pieces of the cotton wadding. You should run out of length of wick before you run out of cotton.
10 - Replace the felt pad (along with any flints that belong beneath it). Replace the flint. Insert and screw the flint spring until it won't turn any more. There is no need to screw too tightly as long as it does screw in all the way so that the lighter will close properly.
11 - If you used a bit of the length of the wick as a handle in step 6, trim the excess wick so that it is level with the chimney.|||The wick should have a wire inside of it. Open the lighter and pull the core out (the entire metal piece). Looking at the bottom, you should see a small hole in the middle of the stuffing (next to the larger hole with a screw in it that is used for the flint). Turn the core right-side up, start feeding the wick back through the hole it cam out of until the wire comes out the bottom of the hole. Pull the wire through the bottom until there is just enough wick at the top.
If there is no wire on the wick, or if it has been trimmed to short to be able to pull it through, then you may have to buy a new wick -- they shouldn't be too expensive.

On a Zippo lighter, how often do you have to expose new wick?
I've been told that every so often on a Zippo lighter you have to pull the wick up and clip it so that some newer wick is exposed. Does anyone know about how often that is or when I know I should do that? Thanks!|||It all depends on how much you use the lighter, and how long you leave the lighter on at a time. If the flame you get is satisfactory, you need not change the length. Once the flame is too low for your liking, it's time to add some length. If the wick is frayed, and the flame is poor, you need to trim it and add length.|||i use matches...theyre more fun to set things on fire with..
Where online can I get a personalized zippo?

Can you use any kind of lighter fluid for a zippo lighter?
My grandma gave me my grandpas old zippo lighter from the 70s or 80s. Do you have to use zippo lighter fluid or can you use any? And are there any precautions to take since it hasnt been used in like 20 years. It still makes a spark. And how do you fill it.|||You'll find everything you need to know on the Zippo website. Or ask someone who has one.
To fill it, hold the outer case in one hand and the cooling grille in the other and pull. Lighter fluid is added to the white fluffy stuff inside until it is wet (not full!)
Use any brand of lighter fluid and nothing else. It is safer and using other things can make the flame stink and smoky.
Precautions: fill it and try it outside, not indoors!

Is it possible to buy a new zippo case?
Asked this before, but got only one answer.
Hi I dropped my zippo and the lid is damaged. It won't shut as well and opens too far. Is it possible to get a new, plain old steel case without getting a new lighter? The warranty doesn't cover the lid so what can I do?|||you can just buy the shell of the lighter, or go to a professional place. (not sure where) but some areas have places that fix things like that..
but if all else fails. you'd most likely have to buy another|||Just get a new Zippo, got mines for 20 bucks. That clicking sound is one of a kind.... and addicting.

I have a problem with keeping my zippo lit?
Can anyone tell me the problem my zippo won't keep lit even in a slight breeze or even if you breath on it. It used to be windproof but now its not, I've tried everything could it possibly be my wick?|||You are correct. Most likely this is caused by the wick not able to be saturated with the needed amount of lighter fluid. I would try replacing the wick if it were me.|||Wicks usually don't ever go bad - in fact, if you leave it alone save for a few squirts of lighter fluid inside the chimney every now and then to clean it off, you'll probably never have to trim it, either. You should check the amount of fluid, usually that's the problem. When mine get low on fluid, the flame gets small and goes out very easily.
What kind of lighter fluid can I put in a zippo lighter?
My dad gave me his dead Zippo lighter. I know how to refill it, but can I just put charcoal lighter fluid in it or do I have to use the real fluid they sell that is made for zippo lighters?|||If you fill a Zippo with charcoal lighter fuel, you can probably say goodbye to yer eyebrows, nose hairs, or any other part of your body close to the explosion when it happens.
If you put butane in a regular Zippo, yer gonna have a boatload of problems. Unless, of course, it has the little thingie on the bottom for butane fuel and actually runs on butane.
Regular Zippos run quite well on Ronsonol Lighter Fuel, just saturate the cotton after you remove the case. Ronsonol is available just about anywhere and it's cheap. Or at least cheaper than buying a whole new Zippo when you try to fuel it with butane or a visit to the burn unit.|||Butane "lighter fuel" is not a fluid at atmosphere pressure. It'll just turn to gas and go away as soon as you try putting it into the wick.
Gasoline is crap. Any kind won't work well, and will probably clog and require total cleaning of the wick %26amp; lighter. Kerosene or Deisel; worse.
|||Zippo or Ronson fuel is naptha. Sold in hardware stores in the paint aisle as a solvent. Lots cheaper per quart than little zippo fuel cans (Refill you handy zippo fuel cans for easy lighter filling)
Coleman camp stove fuel is also naptha. Probably not as cheap as that sold as paint solvent
|||FIRST... BUTANE is a GAS at sea-level pressure, it is only a "fluid" under pressure. You do NOT put butane in a Zippo (only a Zippo-BLU). Attempting to put butane in a standard Zippo is VERY dangerous.
The fluid you want is LIGHTER fluid... either Zippo, Ronson, or similar brand. It looks like this: http://www.cupojoes.com/cgi-bin/spgm?dpt鈥?/a> A twelve ounce can costs about $5, and will last a daily smoker about 6 months.
Charcoal lighter fluid is NOT what you want to use, though it will work|||There's lighter fluid called " Ronsenol". You can get it at just about any store in the section where you normally find lighters. It's the best for Zippos.||| It is best to use what is recommended by Manufacture, but not a big dead to use another.|||ronson lighter fluid|||gasoline|||you don't have to use Charcoal fluid. just use regular butane fluid. just like fo any other kind of lighter too.|||normally, butane fluid.|||you need to use regular butane, not charcoal starter fluid....|||hahahahahah you need to know ha

Why is the date stamp on my Zippo upside down?
I recently got my hands on a set of four brass zippo lighters, the 1995 mysteries of the forest set, and one of the stamps on the bottom is upside down. I personally can't remember ever seeing this phenomenon on any other lighter. Is it a common manufacturing error?|||Either hang on to it, check the company see if they will buy it or put it out for auction|||That's a weird question to ask, especially in gaming, but, yes, it is pretty rare, I guess. And the only reason I think that is because I have quite a few of those, and so do some of my friends. They've never noticed anything like that.
You can look at all the manufactory errors and details if they have some kind of site. Speaking of which, I need a lighter right now. :/|||put it on ebay or christies auction and see how much it will go for?

How to light a roll-up with zippo in the wind?
I just bought a zippo and it's great. It is windproof - meaning that the flame will not come out. The problem I am having, though, is that although the flame keeps burning, it is still frantically moved around by the wind. This usually causes me to burn through the roll-up paper on the side of a cigarette. The only solution then is to cut off (or apply a new sheet of roll-up paper) that part to make the roll-up smokable again.|||Cup the lighter with your spare hand.
How to check authenticity of a Zippo Lighter?
I bought my Zippo lighters at a shop who sold them cheaper than the average retail price here. The shopkeeper 'guarantee' the lighters to be genuine, but my friends keep telling me that it's a fake. It works perfectly though, the 'click' is crisp, and it ignites at first 'zip'. So can anybody tell me how to check the authenticity of my lighter?
Thanx in advance.|||check the bottom of the lighter case for roman numerals, that will tell what year it was made. slide the lighter out and it should say zippo on the side.|||Does it say ZIPPO on the bottom? All Caps?
does it have "stripes"? which oddly enough may look like "V" and "X"...?

Are you allowed to bring a zippo lighter on an airplane?

The TSA web site %26lt;%26lt;specifically%26gt;%26gt; says that zippo type and disposable butane type lighters are permitted in carry on bags. It does not matter if they have fuel in them or are empty. Those who say otherwise have not read the rules.
The web site also specifically says that all lighters are prohibited in checked luggage, unless they are either empty (which yours is), or they are inside of a special DOT approved transport case.
So, since it is new and has never been filled, you can take it either in carry on or in checked luggage. Personally, I would take it with you in carry on luggage.

Can you take lighter fluid from a bic or other lighter and put them them in a zippo?
Also, can you take lighter fluid for a grill and put in a zippo lighter? If not yes to either of the above, where can I buy lighter fluid?|||No.
Regular lighters use compressed Butane. Zippos don't. They use light petroleum distillate or synthetic isoparaffinic hydrocarbon.
EDIT: You can buy lighter fluid at hardware stores, some grocery stores, liquor stores, or even gas stations. They sell it all over. Or you can order it online from zippo.com.
EDIT 2: As for your grill question, are you asking if you can put propane in a zippo? No.|||Hello there,
Take the fluid from a Bic and put it in a Zippo? No. The Bic and other disposable lighters use butane. If you open the lighter the fluid becomes a gas and goes into the air. You cannot tranfer it to a Zippo. Also, even if you could transfer it to the Zippo, it would not work in the Zippo. The Zippo is designed for a liquid lighter fluid.
Charcoal lighter fluid in a Zippo? Well you could get it in there. But it is not safe to use because of the flash point. You could get seriously injured and you will destroy your Zippo. This is a terrible idea. Do not try it.
Where to buy? Cigarette lighter fluid is commonly available. Of course tobacco shops have it. So do drug stores, discount stores (like Wal-mart) and even most grocery stores.
Later,|||There is butane fuel inside the bic and you can't light a zippo with butane. You would need lighter fluid for zippos. I wouldn't try to remove the butane from inside the bic b/c the butane would turn to gas immediately.|||I don't think so.Those bic lighters are sealed and theres no way to refill them and no way to get the fluid out except for using them as intended.|||NO!

What's the difference between a flip top and a zippo lighter?

Can I use regular Kroger brand lighter fluid in my zippo or do I need a specialty fluid?
I have a generic zippo lighter and want to get some fluid for it. I have some lighter fluid in my backyard that I use to light my grill. Is it possible to use that? Or do I need to go buy some specific fluid?|||It probably would work, but you can buy generic zippo fuel rather inexpensively.|||I don't think you need a brand name lighter fluid, but let's be clear about what you have. You said your Kroger lighter fluid was in your back yard which makes me think it's something designed to pour over charcoal.
I cannot tell you whether there is a difference between lighter fluid designed for lighters or grilling, but third degree burns are permanent scars. I would take the lighter into the store with me and just go buy some fluid designed for lighters

How old do you have to be to buy a Zippo lighter in the UK?
I am Fifteen and i want to buy a zippo lighter for my mum for her birthday, however i was not sure whether or not i could buy in a shop as i am under the smoking and buying tobacco age.

Zippo Guarantee to replace your wick and flint?
Will the zippo factory replace your wick and flint if you send it back to them? Or do u have to replace those yourselves?|||Flints and wicks are normal wear and tear items and are your responsibly. If the parts needing fixed involves the repair of the tank Zippo will probably replace the tank complete with new flints and wick. If it is a case problem the case will be replaced and the tank and associated parts will be the same as you sent in. But if the tank will not seal with a new case, they will more than likely send you a new lighter. I have found they seldom repair a lighter, they replace the defective part or parts.|||I think the wick is replaced as part of the service. You probably could have found that out on the zippo site in less time than it took to post it here. Google is your friend|||No just the lighter. You will need to replace them yourself. Damn, are we lazy or what!|||just buy a new lighter

I use generic stuff myself for my zippo. But if you want the special stuff, order it off thier website or maybe try a gun store.|||There is no difference...only in the brand name. It is all the same stuff. Save yourself some money and buy the cheaper stuff. It works the same.|||There is a world famous store on 42nd and 5th, across the street from the library...and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it...but they have everything you would need.
I just bought a zippo lighter: how do i start it up? how do i refuel?
Could someone give me the need-to-know information about a zippo lighter
most importantly: how do i refuel it, and how to start it off?|||Pull the insides out of the case. There is a small piece of cotton then the rest under there should be a extra flint. take it out for now and fill the main part with fluid put the flint back in and add some to the small piece. You should be ready to go. The problem I always had I put to much in then put it in my pocket and burned the heck out of my leg from the fluid. I carried one all through Nahm. If you ever have problems with the hinge or other things send it back and they will fix it for free. The case on mine was bad but it had my unit on it and they still replace the case and put the unit on it and it looked like new.|||ha-ha ... what an odd question!! But you have to be old enough to know these things. At one time, this was all that were used, and everyone watched their father fill them up. It was just common knowledge.

How do i clean my matte black zippo?
I bought a matte black chicago bulls champion zippo recently and i got it a little dirty and dont know how to clean it. I would love any help on that. For all those zippo guys if you know what to do please tell me.|||Hello there,
I assume you mean the outer case is dirty. If so, take the works out and wash the case off with soap and water. Dry it thoroughly before you put the works back in. That should clean most types of dirt off.
Later,|||remove the insert and put a cloth in some warm water with soap/washing-up liquid, give it a good scrub all over and dry it off, then you can put the insert back in

How do i fix the flint/striker on my zippo?
I have a zippo, god knows how old, and the striker doesnt throw sparks anymore, so what can i do to fix this?|||You need to replace the flint. Go to a smoke shop or even Walmart and you can get a replacment flint. Once you do that refill with fluid and you will be good to go.|||I could do this, but suggest it's just as easy for you. Go to Zippo online.
Obviously there aren't lighter repair shops around, like Dry Cleaners, but Zippo does service it's own products, or can direct you to someone who can.

Ok so I did it anyway. You might begin at this link|||You can actually buy new flints if you have used the ones that are built into the bottom. Slide it out, and you will find a tiny screw in the bottom of the body of the lighter which leads to a small tube. There are flints in there. You simply replace the flint, and the lighter works again.
If there are no flints in your lighter, simply buy some more. They are fairly easy to find. If a place has lighter fluid, they usually have flints, as well. They are super cheap, and not hard to replace at all. I can replace them in my lighter with no problem. (My problem seems to be remembering where I put the lighter fluid and/or buying some more.)
I hope that helps.|||pull it apart as you would to fill it there is a tiny screw inside unscrew it and pull it out with the spring insert new flint reinstall the spring and screw your good to go|||buy flint for a zippo lighter at the store, then remove the screw from the bottom of the lighter, remove it and you will see a spring put a new flint in the hole that the spring came out of then screw the spring back in and it will spark again!

How to get rid of scratches on a zippo lighter?
I just got this zippo lighter called,"lucky Ace" but i accidently droped it and made like 2 or 3 scratches on it and there like 2 and a half centimers long how can i remove those scratches?|||You can try some very fine buffing compound and rub the compound gently into the scratches, if they are any deeper I would send it back to the Zippo manufacturer in Bradford, PA. Zippo usually guaranties their lighters for life.
What can I use as a substitute for Zippo fuel?
Would ordinary naphtha, white gas, rubbing alcohol or kerosene work? If so, which would work best? Is there a significant advantage to the Zippo brand?|||NO NO NO NO!! You need to use lighter fluid in a lighter. Zippo isn't the only company to make it, they are all about the same, but you NEED to use lighter fluid unless you want to either have a lighter that doesn't work at all, one heck of a big fire or your hands or face burned quite badly.|||You can use Ronsonol, Naphtha, and Coleman Fuel. I would suggest coleman fuel, it's like $9 a gallon vs about $59 a gallon for Zippo fluid, and $55 for Ronsonol fluid.
Why does my Zippo lighter take so long to light up?
I have used Zippo lighters for a number of years now but I have noticed that once they have been used for a year or more they become increasingly difficult to light.
Is it something with the wick I need to address? I just don't get it.|||If you're getting a spark from the flint, it can ONLY be two things.
1. The wick is too short or dirty. Using a cheaper fluid will create a "dirty" or greasy film on the wick causing a tough light.
2. Low or cheaper fluid.
hope this helps

Where can i buy lighter fluid for my zippo?
I don't want to order online but i do want to buy some at a local store around my neighborhood. I searched stores and they say that they have zippo accessories but I am not sure if they sell the lighter fluid there.

What do you use to refill a zippo lighter?
It isn't the brand zippo but it's that style someone told me you can use the same lighter fluid that you use for a grill, but that didn't sound right.|||Only use fluid designed to be used in lighters. If you use the wrong kind, the results could be very dangerous. Different fluids have different flash points and combustion rates.
If it's a lighter like my dad had, turn it over, slide the case off, and saturate the inside with the fluid. It should be some type of fibrous material. You'll also need to get flints.
If you're not sure how to fill it, you might be able to get help at a cigar shop.|||definitely go to a pipe / tobacco shop.
Sometimes malls have them.
Do not use stuff for a grill, hell no.

How can I get a Zippo without my parents knowing?
I'm only 12 years old. My parents disprove smoking and my dad doesn't like anything to do with smoking or illegal things (like burning your own fire in your back yard or taking fruit from a tree that has an over abundant supply). So he's going to say no if my Mom got me a Zippo because she'd tell my dad. I don't smoke illegaly, never will. And I just want it for the American pride, but my parents won't understand. How can I get a Zippo?|||A Zippo is a brand of lighter. Just have someone take you down the local gas station (or ride your bike there) and buy a Zippo lighter. The gas station attendants aren't going to care how old you are - they CAN sell you a lighter (obviously they CAN'T sell you cigarettes). Most gas stations should have them. If your local one doesn't, find the closest place that does and have someone drive you there. Find an older teen around you who has a car and doesn't mind taking you. Ask nicely!|||You should be able to buy a lighter yourself. The age requirement only applies to the cigarettes themselves, not the lighter. On the other hand, you have to be 18 in some states to buy the fluid. If there is an empty Zippo for sale without the fluid, it should be legal. You can tell the cashier, if they ask, that you are buying it as a gift for a relative. As for your parents, if they find it, as long as you never plan on filling it with lighter fluid, maybe you can persuade them to let you keep it if you never get it filled.|||Smoking tobacco is not the answer youngen your parents are right. You should listen to them they been around awhile.

What kind of lighter fluid do I need to buy for a zippo lighter?
Also is there a youtube video to show me how to put it in the zippo..?
Thankyouuuu|||Take the lighter to a local store and ask the clerk to show you how to fill the lighter. Then you can buy the fluid they use.

It comes in a yellow 8 oz bottle with blue print....can't find it at CVS try a tabacko store...Cost I believe around $2 and last me about a year.
TIP: collect empty one way Lighter and get the flint stones out they last a lot longer than the original ones.|||At 16 you can buy gasoline, so I see no reason why benzene would be any more restricted, unless maybe you tell them you're a budding arsonist.

Where can I buy a zippo flint in England?
I live in Swindon, England and own a zippo. My flint is almost completely worn and I need to buy a new one. Where can I do this, can I go to Asda, or Tesco's, for example? Or just a newsagents? It seems to me that just a normal newsagent wouldn't sell a rather specialised product like a zippo flint.|||I always just tear up old disposable lighters and take the flint. It has a spring under them so be careful that it does not fly away on you. Just pick up old Bic lighters from the street in your travels.

Does Anyone Know How Long An Average ZIPPO Will Burn Before The Fuel Runs Out?
ZIPPO's are one of the few lighters that you don't need to press a button to keep the lighter burning. Once it ignites it will keep burning until you stop it yourself.
If you were to light it and let it stand somewhere burning by itself, do you know how long it will burn until the fuel runs out?|||Less than an hour for sure. They dry up every couple of days too.|||i actually had the time to waste fill the lighter untill sopping wet , cover and light and get a life

Is it ok for me to just put lighter fluid in it again?|||That's dangerous! You should replace the cotton and the wick and then put lighter fluid in.

Where can I find the wicks for Zippo lighters?
My husband got a Zippo lighter about 15 years ago. It is engraved with his name and has special meaning to him. But recently it does not light. It has a new flint and is full of lighter fluid.

Thanks!|||I don't know where you live but if you go to this link it's got wicks, fuel and accessories. http://www.zippo.com/Products/Accessorie鈥?/a> at the bottom of the page there is another link to take you to local stockists if you're not in the USA. Hope that helps you.|||no i have found a cheaper work, use fuel from an oil lamp and you can get the wick from the oil lamp also if you either cut it or unravel it to get the right size a quick easy and cheap fix other than expensive zippo stuff. Good luck :)

How old do you have to be to purchase a lighter? Preferably, a Zippo Lighter?
Yeah, I guess my cousin really wants to buy a Zippo Lighter. He doesn't smoke or anything, it's just that he seen videos on youtube of people doing zippo lighter tricks, and since he doesn't have a real hobby, he wants to start doing Zippo Lighter tricks. He's 13, going to be 14 on August 9th. How old do you have to be to buy a Zippo Lighter or any lighter?|||u gotta be same age as if u were smoking. 18|||One of those weird things. You've got to be 18 to buy it, but there is no age limit to possess.
Just tell your parents that you want a lighter so you can play with fire. I'm sure they'll run to store to buy you one.

Where can I buy Zippo BLU lighter fluid?
I have gone to Walmart, Meijer, Target, and some cigar store and for some odd reason none of them have the lighter fluid. Meijer had the regular Zippo lighter fluid but I dont know if I should buy that one for the Zippo BLU lighter.

How do I remove Zippo flints?
I hate to sound like a newb but how do you remove a Zippo flint? I took out the screw and tapped the inside thing gently on a table like zippo.com says. can anybody help me?|||Yep thats how you do it. Sometimes you have to give the little wheel thing a spin. If you do that its gone.

How much lighter fluid are you meant to put in a Zippo?
I've always found Zippo's method of storing fluid - soaking cotton wool - rather crude.
1. Are you meant to fill it till it's thoroughly soaking (I read it's meant to be so damp that lighter fluid can pour out of it!)?
2. Is this cotton wool system really that effective?
3. Once fully filled, how long can it be expected to last?|||it is a crude method, beware not to fill too much cos it leaks in your pocket and gives a petrol burn down your leg, take it from one who knows and has done it.
i went back to disposable lighters.
and also there is no set limit to filling or knowing how long it will last, at least when you use other lighters you get some warning that it is dying, zippo's just stop working. not a reliable form of ignition but a great gadget to play with if you are an arsonist.|||soak it until you see liquid.|||I usually, when it is dry, pull the felt back, and fill and let absorb, I do this until the fuel isn't on top of the cotton, however I can see that the fuel has drenched the cotton but its barely absorbed. Depending on your lighter it can ange from a day to a month, Usually Zippos last at least 2 weeks, mine can go a month or so. Go in Christ|||Personally, I don't think it's worth the hassle. Disposable lighters are so much easier and safer|||Do what they say. Fill it til it's pretty saturated. They are unique and very effecient. They are collectors items if they are old or unique. Why use it if you think it crude?? That's wierd. It's very effective and lasts as long as it lasts depending on use...duh. That only makes sense. Be careful, don't burn yourself.|||soak it but you dont want it to pour out you'll catch your hand on fire.|||Lighter fuel can be supplied in capsules for a single refill.
These hold 5ml of fuel.|||You add lighter fluid until the cotton wool is soaked. The thicker peice at the base shouldn't be soaked through though.|||Don`t overfill,if overfilled shake out excess fluid,because any leakage will cause chemical burns on leg if placed in pocket.The cotton only needs to be slightly damp,and I would guess under normal usage you would get approximately a carton of cigarette's lit with one fill.

How do I get my Zippo to light?
I have a newly bought zippo lighter which used to work perfectly shortly after buying it.
A few hours later, almost every time I try to light the wick, it won't catch. The striker and flint seem to work fine and still make a spark, I've refueled the lighter many times, reposition the wick in all places but still the flame rarely catches.
I also tried using some new wick, but the problem is still there.
How do I fix it?|||Send your lighter back to Zippo and they'll repair it and return it to you for free. It will be just like a brand new lighter.

How can I make different color fire for my Zippo Lighter?
For example, what is a recipe for a colored flame such as green. But It has to be safe to be in the Zippo lighter. (ie. Non corrosive)
I'm looking for something that is as safe as lighter fluid/butane.
Thank you!|||Ok, there are a couple of metals that will burn different colors:
copper will turn ur flame green, it is not dangerous. Take a fine piece of copper and place it on the flame of ur zippo, you'll see it burn green after the flame burns off the oxide coating.
Other colors are very dangerous (lithium, cesium, sodum, all very reactive metals) so i suggest u use copper. Calcium will burn ur flame red, but i don't know where u can obtain that.
