Zippo wick replacement tutorial; A complete guide to extending the life of your favorite lighter
Introduction
Zippo lighters are famous for their high durability, repairability, and extraordinary longevity. Unlike many disposable lighters, almost all parts of a Zippo are replaceable. One of the most important of these parts is the wick.
The wick is responsible for transporting gasoline from the cottons inside the tank to the top of the lighter. After a long period of use, the wick gradually carbonizes, turns black, and its performance decreases. In this situation, the lighter may be difficult to light or may not have a proper flame.
In this article, we will teach you in detail and step by step how to replace a Zippo wick.
What is the function of a Zippo wick?
In a Zippo lighter, gasoline is stored in special cottons. The wick acts like a channel and directs the fuel to the top of the lighter.
When the lighter wheel creates a spark, the gasoline vapors around the wick ignite and a flame is created.
If the wick is damaged or becomes excessively carbonized, fuel transfer is disrupted and the quality of the flame decreases.
When should you replace your Zippo wick?
The following signs indicate that it is time to replace the wick:
Difficult to light the lighter
Flame goes out quickly
Severe blackening of the top of the wick
The wick is too short
Reduced flame height
Abnormal gasoline consumption
Of course, in many cases, a complete replacement is not necessary and its performance can be improved by simply shortening the burnt part of the wick.
Required tools
To replace the wick, you will need the following:
Zippo wick
Tweezers
Small screwdriver
Clean cloth
Step one: Remove the insert
Open the lighter door.
Pull the inner part of the Zippo (insert) out of the body.
All steps will be performed on the insert.
Step two: Remove the bottom felt
At the bottom of the insert, you will see a layer of felt that usually says Lift To Fill.
Lift this felt slowly.
Now the cottons inside the tank are visible.
Step 3: Remove the cottons
Using tweezers, gently remove the cottons.
It is recommended to remember the order in which they are placed so that it will be easier for you when reassembling.
After the cottons are removed, the wick path will be visible.
Step 4: Remove the old wick
Grab the top of the wick from the top of the lighter.
Gently pull it out.
If the old wick is stuck due to deposits or burns, you can use tweezers to help remove it.
Step 5: Install the new wick
Insert the new wick into the special hole from the top of the lighter.
Gently guide it downwards until part of it enters the tank.
At the top of the wick, about 5 to 7 mm protrude.
This amount is sufficient for proper flame operation.
Step Six: Properly Arrange the Wick Between the Cottons
This step is very important.
Place the cottons in place one by one and pass the wick in a spiral or zigzag pattern between the layers of cotton.
This method will:
Better fuel absorption.
More uniform gasoline transfer.
Increase fuel retention time.
Optimize lighter performance.
One of the reasons for the excellent performance of factory Zippos is the correct arrangement of the wick between the cottons.
Step Seven: Attach the Felt
After completely placing the cottons, return the bottom felt to its place.
Make sure all parts are properly placed.
Step Eight: Charge the Gasoline
After installing the new wick, add some gasoline specifically for lighters to the tank.
Wait a few minutes for the wick to be completely saturated with fuel.
Step Nine: Test the Lighter
Place the insert into the body.
Turn the lighter wheel a few times.
The lighter should light easily and produce a steady, even flame.
Do you always need to replace the wick?
No.
In many cases, only the top of the wick will become carbonized.
You can:
Pull the wick up slightly.
Cut off the burned section with scissors.
Replace the unburned section.
This will extend the life of the wick by
