Zippo Instructional: Wick Maintenance / Installing a New Wick

Over time the wick of your Zippo Windproof Lighter will turn black which will reduce performance. In this video you will learn how to trim and replace your wick for optimum usage.

I've carried the same Zippo for the last 15 years, used it heavily and it is still in near mint condition. A Zippo is the only type of lighter that I trust in the long run. For one, it has no fragile parts or a pressurized gas system that often fails due to cold weather. I had used my Zippo in all kinds of conditions, from polar freeze and blizzard to tropical humidity and downpours. All it needs is sufficient airflow and sufficient fuel exposed to the spark jet from the flint. Perfect light every time. I only had to replace a few flints and each wick can last up to 2 years. There are THREE tricks to keep your wicks at optimal condition. ONE: When you replace the wick, NEVER let the wick touch the metal sides of the insert casing. Weave it in an S shape and make sure that the wick is surrounded on all sides by fuel soaked cotton. More fuel will be able to be drawn up the wick in this fashion. TWO: Only trim the wick up to one time maximum before replacing it with a new one. Every time you trim the wick, it gets shorter. Shorter wicks do not draw up fuel from the tank that easily. Keep the wick long, and it will deliver more fuel to the flame area. Better burn + longer wick life. THREE: It takes only 40 seconds or less to refuel a Zippo. If you carry one daily, it does not hurt to take a few seconds every day and refill the lighter. Once again, the more fuel that is able to be soaked into the wick, the longer the wick lasts. When you do not have enough fuel, or the fuel is low, the wick itself begins to be consumed, and you will have to replace it more often.

[@mikechivy]

No offense. You kinda described why they suck. I own a few Zippos, but a BIC requires no maintenance and costs much less in fuel and initial cost. I get where you’re coming from but if you talking about trust, leave a zippo for a year, and leave a BIC for the same. I think you can guess which one will actually light. Shoot go 5 years and a BIC will still light. I understand the appeal but in reality they’re not as reliable as you say they are

[@BlueSkyCountry]

@@mikechivy Your post is spot on point as well... There is a reason why the Zippo is NOT identified with the mainstream, even in the years right after they were invented when butane lighters and sealed fuel cell military trench lighters came onto the scene. Zippos are the manual transmission equivalents of the lighter world. A Zippo is the mark of a seasoned smoker and a man who KNOWS his craft. It is because they demand the user to be somewhat of an engineer and a tinkerer. It is just like hunting with a black powder revolver or rifle as opposed to a modern centerfire bolt action or semiauto rifle... You can't just chamber a round, point it at your target and pull the trigger... You have to know what you are doing to use it properly... HOWEVER, there exists an aftermarket device that blends the best of both worlds of the Zippo and the BIC. Ever heard of Vector KGM??? They produce a wide variety of Zippo inserts that will fit into any standard Zippo case. They are fueled with butane and are available in piezoelectric torch, dual torch, regular flame, and flint ignition regular flame. I am using a Vector insert in my Zippo right now. Flint ignition just like the original, but with butane... You can't even tell the difference except there is no wick in the chimney. One fill is enough for hundreds of lights. Relegate the BIC to a spare backpack pocket and get a Vector for your Zippo if you are EDC'ing a lighter on a constant basis and want the class and attitude of a Zippo...

[@mikechivy]

@@BlueSkyCountry Fair enough. I was a smoker for 12 years and have quit now for just under 2. At the time a zippo made sense. Now, not so much. Still love a zippo more than any other lighter, just sucks I have to refill it when I just wanna start a grill or roll a J ;-)

[@BlueSkyCountry]

@@mikechivy Get a Vector insert like I mentioned above. Fill it and use it like a BIC... The lid of the Zippo case flips the "hammer" on the Vector upon opening and that in turn presses down a lever that starts the gas flow. All you have to do is to strike the wheel to ignite it. Lid closes, hammer clicks back and shuts off fuel lever, so no concerns about gas escaping by accident. Vector products are foolproof and reliable.

[@FantasyRandR]

@@BlueSkyCountry thanks for the tips and advice. I know this is an old thread, but if you get a quick second could you let me know if I’m doing something wrong if I fill the fluid up to the point it drips down into the wick and onto the counter? Am I hurting the wick or cotton by over saturating, or do I simply let it dry out for a few seconds at that point then I’m good to go?

Thank you. Extremely helpful. Not something I've done before. Do much faffing around! Used lighter to light candles at home. Only tip I have is, if you have no pliers to take out or insert wick, wrap a piece of sellotape to form a point on the wick. This will allow easy threading through the chimney hole. Took me 40 mins, but I changed it! Woo hoo!

[@missyruttencutter9238]

** Tip/Suggestion for Cutting Tool: ** I wasn’t about to go shell out $$ for a specialized wick trimmer (as my zippo-enthusiast friend recommended)… A top rated comment on a random KZbinr’s wick trimming video advised a wire cutter (mine currently MIA), or nail clippers as an alternative (that sounded kind of suss). So I rummaged around what I had around the house and found the PERFECT tool-- You know those little scissors with the curved blades? The ones that come with almost every “basic” manicure, pedicure or facial hair trimming kit? PERFECT! Clean cut. No fraying. And I can cut the wick so it’s below the top cage (if that’s your pref.). Same results as if I had purchased the wick trimmer-but no extra money spent. And because you can maneuver inside the cage, no more accidentally over-pulling the wick and having to cut off usable bits. More flame time, less $$$! Totally just discovered this on a whim and had to share 😄. ** BUT REMEMBER, ->DISCONTINUE

[@kimincannes]

HAHAHAAA!!! Funny, that's exactly the type of scissors I use for this. 😊

I'd have to add fuel every few days. The Zippo I've had for 3 years was sent to me by Marlboro, and I use it exclusively since it's never failed me. I think I'm just lucky with it.

Thank you so much from this video I was able to repair my dad‘s old zippo lighter

[@Jonathan_Bryan_Degamo]

So I did this wick cutting on a Zippo. I'm using Zippo wicks as I only have Zippo wicks on stock and not the Imco brand wicks and I did the first cut. After the first cut, the lighter only lights for a short period of time, one fuel filling only lasts one day and then refuses to light even if there's still a lot of fuel in the tank. And then I remember the 1954 Lighter Repair Manual wherein in one section, they discussed the common problems of lighters turned in for repair. The manual mentioned about the lighter not holding fuel for a reasonable amount of time and with a short wick being stated as the culprit so I replaced the cut wick with a fresh new uncut one off the pack. It solved the problem. Thanks to the manual. Turns out you can't cut a Zippo wick as prescribed in this video by Zippo.

[@kimincannes]

I came back to this video for this specific reason. It had been a very long time since I'd used a Zippo, and I thought it would be good to take a refresher course, lol... I have been trying to trim my wick, but the tweezers only seem to be shredding the top of the wick, rather than pulling it up. I did replace it not too long ago... or maybe it WAS... 9 months, perhaps? I'm not sure... anyway, thanks to the tips I found here, I will just go ahead and replace the wick entirely again. 😊

Thank you sir, I managed to retrieve my Zippo from a non usable state to a fully functional item.

[@mezlabor]

I dont smoke but I have a zippo as a great way to start camp or cook fires. I actually think a zippo should be in every survival pack for any kind of camping/hiking/skiing etc trips.

[@codyfisher6657]

Not necessarily the fluid will evaporate over time wether or not it is hot, I would recommend a thunderbird butane insert. It doesn't ruin the feel of it and it won't evaporate either.

[@codyfisher6657]

I had to do that myself because I had mine in a plastic bag in my survival pack and handy used it for a couple months and I had to use the Sparks on my camping trip

[@BlueSkyCountry]

It is a great device to have on you in case of emergencies. For one thing, the Zippo WILL light under ANY temperature conditions. Even in arctic deep freeze where butane lighters will not work, a Zippo will fire up just fine. However, ALWAYS make sure you have fuel with you as well, stored in a tight, leakproof canister such as the one that most lighter fluids are packaged in.

[@generalxanos]

I would agree it should be in a survival pack, but zippo fuel evaporates even inside the casing. Best just have a spare jug of ronsonol or zippo lighter fluid if you want to do more than make sparks at soggy wood. Trying to run 4 of them, it's almost a weekly job to refill. I'm luccky I haven't had to replace the cotton padding on any of mine, although some of dad's are getting pretty yellow, and a bit stiff. I keep them for sentiment, not function. I like my collection more. :^)

[@harrycollins3248]

I own a Zippo lighter as well as a antique Ronson Super Windlite Butane lighter. When I got the Ronson lighter I had to replace the wick as it was found in a second hand store. But it works just as well as my Zippo. Only problem it don't hold as much fuel as the Zippo.

[@Boromir237866]

I completely love this lighters, Bought the first one last week and I already have another one. However, 4 days of use (between 5 and 10 lights a day) and I already see an important impact on performance probably because of blacked out wick, because the flame comes from the absolute bottom of the wick I can see, wondering if it can be even dangerous, having in mind the flame could enter where the fuel is? To the point, if it is the wick it doesn't last long, definitely not a year, at least for me. If it is the fuel, I could live with it, but 4 days of use when I filled it I think it is a short life for the fluid, and yes, I use zippo premium fluid. Besides the possible downsides this kind of lighter can have (because of the maintenance) against gas lighters, your zippo lighters have definitely a quality I have yet to see in any gas lighter. They are small pieces of art!

[@nickb2208]

It's not like it's going to explode on you it's a wick lighter.

[@HelplessTeno]

Honestly I think the maintenance is part of the charm of owning a Zippo. You constantly maintain and care for it just like you would a good knife or a leather pouch. It may seem like a chore with the convivence of bics and other butane lighters, but I think it's part of the fun of owning a lighter that can last a century.

You can! Each wick is about 4 inches long, so you can trim it 2-3 times before replacing.

[@cwazyfatality1712]

Damn that was stupid.Hurt my brain or am I missing something in your description?

[@tutorube]

Looks like you should avoid the contracting between the wick and the metal parts of the fuel tank while packing the cotton. So you can use the "snake" way, but also use the small pieces of cotton to isolate the wick. My "flaming anarchy" Zippo lasts about 6-7 days (and may be even 8-9 days light up but wick itself is burning to much) Am I right?

[@phantomwablo4257]

just 8 days ago I have something to ask. after trimming the wick should I add oil? because I trimmed it and it's immediately turning black and the flame is going down. also it smells a little bit burnt

[@tutorube]

@@phantomwablo4257 I think yes, you need to add more fuel. Make sure the plastic wick core is available, dry wick may become over burnt. Sometimes the wick can stay jammed somehow when you pulling out the wick, if so your lighter needs repacking.

We're here to help Richard. Did you try trimming or changing your wick, changing the flint, and using premium Zippo lighter fluid?

[@BlueSkyCountry]

Does the lighter spark when you strike it? If it produces a good flash and an ample amount of sparks, there should be nothing wrong with the wheel.

[@hundun5604]

Hi. What's the purpose of the copper wire, inside the wick?

[@ClipsRandomStuff-wk7ys]

Likely to keep the wick in somewhat of a solid state so it's easier to thread and doesn't break apart easily after being lit a few times.

[@XDlosDominicans]

I'm fairly new with zippo lighters and was wondering, how long does the lighter fuel usually last? Because mine seems to evaporate by itself, without using it much. So being a hobby cigar smoker, the intervals between when I do smoke are fairly long apart, so it's kinda strange that the fuel finishes up without much use.

[@mikeschlapp7202]

It will evaporate slightly. The design helps though. Keeping the lid closed will allow the gases to build up and allow for a nice light as soon as you flip open the zippo. I'm an avid smoker and i refuel about every weekend.

[@zippo]

Mike is correct. The fuel does evaporate slightly. Frequency of use determines how quickly the fuel evaporates. In most cases, avid users do not have to fill as often. We actually make an evaporation-free fuel canister that would allow you to fill only when necessary. You can check it out here: www.zippo.com/products/fuel-canister

Only complaint about Zippo lighters is the hinge has bent on a couple of lighters. Never did get around to sending them to Zippo for repair or replacement. I've spent over $125 for a butane lighter, and bought hundred of cheaper ones.
