Why wont my zippo lighter work outside?

I have a regular zippo lighter and after i just filled it and put in a new flint it works fine. But when i step outside the lighter will not light at all.|||try pulling the wick up a little bit...sometimes they need adjustment...(and trim it with a pair of nail clippers so the end isn't frayed)|||Hold your hand to block the wind, it usually doesnt light when theres wind, but when its lit its windproof

|||RTMFD! That's read the multi-faceted directions. A Zippo works better outside. Don't cup it.|||you also need to shake it so the butane fuel will flow through evenly and I found out that when I want to speed up the process first I check if the flame level is OK because even though you did not move it sometimes it moves when you refill it .... try it and this might work....
