Greetings from the UK! Great and informative video on how to clean a Zippo. I love my Zippo and consider it one of the best things that I own. They are a beautiful product and on a TV programme aired here in the UK, regarding the 100 greatest ever inventions - a cigarette lighter (in any form, including re-fillable and disposable) as voted by the public came in at number 1. The technology and simplicity of the lighter is what made it the winner. It explained how a group of explorers stumbled upon a tribe of people deep in the Amazon rainforest - a people who had zero concept of the outside world. Upon observing a member of the tribe preparing a fire in the evening, one of the explorers decided to show the group how in an instant he could have fire within his hands. The utter amazement and surprise when the tribe saw this was unbelievable. To the tribe, the Western explorers must have seemed like aliens from another planet. The fact is, the Zippo is the ultimate example of a creation from a very simple and universal concept - fire in an instant. The Zippo is pure simplicity and elegance and I keep another one in my survival kit at all times. Ps: Your English is excellent and thank you for your instructional. Chris.

Keep all of your disposable lighters, the flints will fit your zippo, they are a bit longer so loosen your set screw and you have and extended flint.

I've had a this one Zippo for 5-6 years has a crow eating a eyeball, I got it when I was 9. I only learned tricks when I was younger than lost it. Now I've found it, refilled it, and it took a day or two for it to start working every time I tried lighting it. Now I use it to smoke weed.

I just bought a $100 zippo, it's the 'Armor Nautical Scene Design', pretty amazing lighter! Supposedly it's thicker metal than other zippos and 3D engraved all around the whole thing, like a copper looking metal, super sweet. I'm thinking of building a collection of zippos. I've tried so many expensive butane lighters that die or are not reliable or flame up and scare the heck out of me, I keep coming back to the good ol' classic Zippo! Honestly I've never cleaned one or even replaced the wick or flint before, pretty interesting...

Those are made with actual bronze

This guy's dedicated. Haven't cleaned mine in, well ever

I also do a couple other things: i clean the flintwheel with a gun cleaning type bronze toothbrush after removing the old flint (wheel moving freely), and burnish the outside of the chimney with it--gives the chimney a real nice antiqued look and removes carbon staining etc. I also give the flintspring a little gentle stretch to remove set, and on some Zippos, seems particularly the Slims, i use the old Hollywood trick of adding either a tiny piece of used flint under the new flint or a tiny piece of brass brazing rod to add a tiny bit of extra pressure against the flintwheel for better spark. If a tiny bit too tight and binding against the new flint, moving the flintwheel forward and backwards should free it and get it sparking.

I like the way you put the entire thing together. The Zippo lighter is very mechanical, it's like building a computer. According to the code on the bottom, your Zippo lighter was made in July 2014.

Thanks for the infos!!!! I got one working normally, one cleaned and fueled and ready for a new wick, and two more ready for your cleaning method. Thanks for your help! 10 minutes of video-watching and 10 minutes of cleaning equals a functional lighter and a happy camper. Thanks again!

there's a product called "shellite" which is a petroleum distillate metal cleaner / camp stove fuel. Its around $7 for a liter. Has no kerosene smell and Most mechanics workshops will know what it is, And im pretty sure its chemically the exact same stuff that zippy sells in 100ml for $6 .... so huge saving. (au money)

Thanks for this useful video. I was going to buy another zippo but following your instructions mine is now good as new. 🙂

Bravo man! And A HUGE THANK you! You know... I'm a smoker for years (primarily tobacco, 'cause that what really counts, when it comes to using a Zippo lighter, or any kind of lighter, for that matter), but till a couple of years ago, I never ever had a good lighter, because I was convinced that I'd be a throw-away money, 'cause I was sure I'd lose mit very quickly! As I'm constantly doing with the regular lighters I use on a regular basis! but then, I got a good lighter (one of those versions of Zippo, only on a butan gas) as a gift, which I liked, and started using it on a daily basis, and there we are, two years later, I still hadn't lost it! Which turned out to be a normal thing, because one doesn't have the same attitude towards a lighter which he/she likes (and paid some good money for it), and actually takes good care of i, so the lighter is still here! And that's how, a few days ago, I got another present, my first classic Zippo lighter, so I started looking up for videos about a maintenance of it, and I find yours to be VERY, VERY GOOD! I sure learned all the basics I wanted to know, about how to maintain my new Zippo, without having to go and ask people to show me how to do it, or anything alike! Thanks again!

The ronsonol fluid has much more stuff in it like jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, ether and 3 different kinds of naphtha and a few more things I’m probably forgetting so no naphtha is not the same as ronsonol. However I think this guy claimed he uses it for cleaning the zippo and in that case plain naphtha will work just as good. All that stuff in the ronsonol is only for quicker ignition so one tiny spark will light the zippo with ronsonol in it.

@Mike1614b

paint thinner is mineral spirits. mineral spirits can be used as charcoal lighter. Naptha is similar, but different. Naptha evaporates faster, and it has a lower flash point which makes it easier to light with a spark- which is why it's used as zippo fuel.

Just a heads up, keep all of your old bic lighters or similar type, the flint will fit your zippo, it will be longer so you will have to loosen your set screw or the wheel wont spin, but that the trick I usen good luck

Tack tack 🙂

in a pinch you can disassemble a regular bic lighter (watch out because once you pry out the striker wheel, the spring will shoot the flint out like greased lightning) the flints on a brand new bic are a little over twice the length of normal Zippo or Ronson replacement flints. you can use the wire cutters at the base of plyers to split the flint in half. put one half inside of the Zippo flint tube, and stick the other half into the little hole in the felt. you can even stick a 3rd flint under the felt between the felt and the cotton. out of the way, but accessible if you need it.

@paulshewchuk3016

8 жыл бұрын

+Dirtbag Paul its great too because half of the bic flint is still slightly too long, so it locks against the wheel when the flint spring screw is fully tightened. as it should be 'finger tight' anyways, use your finger or thumb to loosen the spring until you can actually use the wheel to create sparks. everyday before i leave the house i put a few bubbles of fuel in, finger tighten the flint screw, and it feels like new everytime.

Thank you, very useful information
