woah... you added a wick? i doubt that's the issue.
maybe you can try turning the flint upside down...
sometimes it gets stuck. my flint got stuck once and i had to turn it or something because the wheel sorta created a slope which sorta made the tip sharp and sometimes get caught in the wheel

turning the flint upside down just reveals a fresh flat side... once worn in then it'll stop sparking again
wheel does turn....it doesn't get stuck... it's just hard to turn with extra springs added

it's definitely my flint wheel problem...
tested with some other lighters with the same flint it does spark pretty well... just on mine it doesn't

Long time didn't play with my Zippo lighter already

then start again

Hi guys,

I have been collectin zippos for quite a while now.
Usually get them online on ebay. usually from the US
never gotten a fake one yet from that part of the world

I just managed to get my hands on a very very rare gem

.


A solid Titanium zippo.

Its this on ( net image )



Ive a a bunch of rare stuff
heres a few of my best.

1. Vietnam War Zippo Lighter 1967 1968 PHU RIENG ( got this one from a pawn shop in singapore )
2. Black Crackle WWii with the propper patent 203695 ( Mistakenly printed during production [ good to identify its really WWii ] should have been 2032695 at bottom )
3. Armor Sterling Silver High Polish Zippo ( this one has the best zippo sound and is really heavy )

Ill upload pictures as soon as i get a chance to take them .

How much is normal Zippo usually cost ? The cheapest one i mean ! And where to get it ? im from penang

rm80-160+ avg.
exotic type may reach up to few thousands~

I have a Zippo that I got from my army friend who served for Malaysian batalion during Bosnia war. Normally Zippo manufactured in Bradford, but this one is Niagara Falls, have NATO symbol and MALBATT (Malaysian Batalion) on it. Since I think I would rather sell it to Zippo lover than keep it, please reply if you are interested. I will send the picture later.

anyone here know where can i get cheap ori zippo lighter? would like to start up some small biz selling zippo lighter. please help. thanks.

eh put in check inbag then ok? Last time when i queuing up for the check in the airport ppl got take a board ask if i got lighter and other dangerous stuff in my bag..

hmmm, maybe you should declare them? as long they are unfueled should be ok ba...

unfueled meaning cannot light? If buy sure got fuel right? We need open and pour all the liquid into sink?

i was refering to zippos, but i guess those other fueled lighters must declare or something, and must never have it carry on board.
