sweet black ice you got there

always love these lighters... especially the lifetime warranty

anyway... if there is an answer...

I got a question about my lighter.

the lighter will not spark at all.
new flints were added but it only sparks at the beginning and no more sparks after breaking in...
I've heard people say pulling the spring adds a slight pressure and it will work but that's not true.
I've added an extra spring to give it more pressure instead of pulling the spring and that's one of the only way to get it to spark a tiny bit.
by doing that makes the flint wheel hard to turn and it's very annoying to try so hard just to get the wick catch flame.

I suspect the flint wheel causes the problem and not the flint as it is genuine flints from zippo. Plus,fresh wick was also added and primed with zippo genuine fluid but still it is very hard to get the lighter to spark

of course sending to zippo for warranty is painful because I duwanna watch my money fly to the wrong address as I can get them address wrong

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

then start again

gimme that titanium zippo... for free

buy bulk from zippo and you'll get them cheap plus free shipping. since you're gonna sell them

if not go to some watchshop,they sell them starting from RM65


and for the check in zippo,wrap your zippo in present paper and tell them that it's a gift for my friend.
but of course must also have other gifts along too.

just a suggestion so don't come to me and complain

it's sad when it happens. this happen to me too but worse, my flint wheel won't spark the flint at all
the only way is to send it to zippo for repair
