Clean a Zippo Lighter and redo wick for a better burn

Clean Zippo and redo wick.....NOTE.....You should put a wad of stuff into the top of the lighter before you bend the wick over for the first time

[@lovebunny3324]

This really took the guess out of doing anything with a zippo but wish you could give a tip on how to keep a zippo from the metal going bad on the inside. the coils and the flicker. But it's easiest how to video I have ever seen and I watch tons of them.

Good stuff...nice explanation.

[@not2fast4u2c]

+RamblinAround Thanks !!!

[@savagenomore]

I had a Camel zippo like that years ago and a thieving ex girlfriend stole it from me...

[@not2fast4u2c]

+savagenomore Ain't they the worst kind of thieves They steal out of spite not like your average low life thief

[@xendra1724]

Was her name angie 😂

[@victoriasamilidi7267]

Laughed so hard at this. I had a fling years ago and I begged him to give me his beloved rainbow zippo. He caved and to this day I m not sure why he decided to part ways with it. I still have and cherish that zippo and think of him fondly. Maybe she did not take it out of spite :)

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks , I don't have a zippo but I want one.

[@not2fast4u2c]

+Bruce Pender I like to use mine in the winter those plastic ones get cold and they stop working

[@ferretlord8202]

Idk why but old style lighters are just so cool to me 😅

[@not2fast4u2c]

I like the old engraved design ones

[@bubkasaurus]

Great explanation. Well done! I’ve always done it just like this too. :-)

[@not2fast4u2c]

Thanks ...The factory says they do this but the last 2 lighters I bought I had to do this way

[@CraigArndt]

Good stuff, I am planning to clean and fill mine this weekend. Happy New Year!!

[@not2fast4u2c]

+Craig Arndt Installing the wick this way is also shown in a video on Zippo's youtube channel

[@dogsjustbeingdogs]

Happy new year

[@BillGoudy]

Excellent info!!! ;-)

[@not2fast4u2c]

+BillGoudy Doing the wick with it zig zagging through the packing is recomended by Zippo ....I do like my wick tall to get the Big Flame !!!

[@magnoliamike]

You’re cleaning a zipper with lighter fluid? I seen other people do that as well

[@not2fast4u2c]

It does work good for cleaning better than alcohol does

[@totaboaventura4181]

What is he cleaning it with?

[@not2fast4u2c]

[@darex1226]

[@not2fast4u2c]

Good to hear!

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

I KNOW ronsonal and zippo call it flint i hope folks know it aint flint

[@not2fast4u2c]

+embarado smithing and woodcraft I really do not know the proper name I know Flint is a rock that sparks when struck with a steel

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

ok this is same as the rod ya make camp fire with just smaller

[@not2fast4u2c]

the ferro rods spelled something like Ferocisium

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

same stuff

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

not2fast4u2c you're right there on the point of making his stuff to put in a bit or in a Zippo is exactly the same as in a pharaoh or Pharisee Imran true flint is too brittle or fragile to work in such devices if you wanna make a piece of smallest said the minute you struck the steel against it it would shatter like glass and that's where is a misnomer is everybody calls it went in a fair in a Zippo or in a bit and it's actually a feral rod
