Why is my zippo fire so big and how can i make it smaller?

i just purchased a zippo lighter, and put my lighter fluid inside it.I waited a few minutes before i lit it, but when i did, the fire went all over the top of it! so when i tried to light it again... it wouldnt start! Any advice?|||Too much fluid.Only fill with small amounts at a time.If the wick is more than 1/2 long trim it back with sharp sizzors You probably got the flint wet with fluid let it dry out and maybe pull the flint and dry it off|||Your Zippo lighter should have a wind guard screen around the wick and the wick should not extend above that screen. Also, you should not use anything but genuine cigarette lighter FLUID to fill the packing in the storage chamber to just the noticable MOIST degree.|||Two possible solutions:





1. Less or more evenly distributed fluid.





2. Shorter wick.|||If you get fluid on the flint , it won't strike , other than that shorten the wick too.|||You may have overfilled it. Any extra should evaporate shortly.|||turn the little wheel on the side to adjust the flame.
