Here are the various steps that I take to modify a new insert for the best fuel efficiency and reliability of my Zippo. Hope it helps someone out. #zippomafia
Thanks! It provides the wick 100% coverage of the cotton so that when your fluid is low, it can wick up every last drop. Sure it will still work with a stub of a wick, but won't be as powerful of a flame and can be blown out easily.
I like the plastic "ramps" for the cotton! I use my knife but I'll be switching. I also like the trick using the lid to hold the felt. Thanks for the new tips!
Regular Zippos leak vapour from the hinges so Its always a good idea to store a zippo wrapped in a small plastic bag. This stops vapour evaporation. A zippo will normally last a few days without wrapping but if you wrap in a plastic bag it can last over a month.
Great video. The tip where to put the spare flint is gold. When i change a wick, i put it straight in. Put cotton in, bend it over, put more cotton in, bend it back til i get the whole wick in. Works just as fine.
That was a great helpful video. I’ve never seen anyone add as much lighter fluid as you did and I think 3 times would have been adequate. Your other tips were excellent. I give you props !
I’ve carried a zippo every day since 1987. The best way to have the wick is about halfway up the chimney, and frayed. Never had one fail to light or need to be adjusted or replaced in all those years if it had so much as fumes in it. Set it and run it. My current edc is from ‘09, and it gets struck 30-35 times a day, and the wick is exactly as it was the day I got it and filled it for the first time.
I do basically the same thing but I get rid of the felt and use more cotton the felt is supposed to be a seal to keep lighter fluid in but because your using the plastic bag you don’t need the felt and you can put more fluid in with more cotton
Great video! Those plastic shims are a great idea, I'll have to try that next time. I also didn't know about the lid holding the felt up, that is pretty slick. Always good to have more reference material out there!
Just wanted to say thanks for this tip.. I've had my zippo for years, it's recently been a bit finicky and never thought to replace the cotton.. I just so happen to have had some cotton bacon lying around and did this, can already tell the difference it made.

Excellent thank you. You’re probably going to be a resource for kids now and the future when people will be required to go analog.

smart idea using those plastics perhaps you know how many millilitres it take to fill then? also i tried using paraffin lamp oil in mine and it was not lighting or when lit left lot of smoke i tried letting sit a day out of its case to dry it out and refilled with zippo fluid but still giving me hard time lighting and still smokes i figured there must be some left over paraffin in it that still messing it up perhaps , will the smoky stuff eventually go away after a few proper fills with zippo fluid? and what should i do let it dry out again or keep it flaming till all the stuff is gone and refill again?
Good video for sure, but i want to say the rayon that comes with zippos is just fine. I unroll and fluff it out, then repack the new insert. Havent noticed any difference in fuel capacity (by weight) nor any difference in fuel economy.. But, if youre repacking an old zippo (or any oil lighter really), cotton bacon works very well
I’m just about to order a new zippo and was interested to see this cotton bacon, I’ve never heard of it, I think like you’ll I’ll just stick with the rayon, taking it out and fluffing it up is a great idea, I’ll definitely be doing that, cheers for the tip 👍🏻
@@pompeylad1977 cotton bacon is used for wicking in vapes, its one of the best wicking materials out there for it tbh. The biggest thing ive noticed is in a zippo insert, it doesnt make a huge difference. Instead, you want to try and make whatever wicking/absorbing material you have as fluffy and pourous as possible. The more cotton/rayon you have in there, the less fuel that will fit. With repacking the rayon inside my zorro insert, using the lighter thru the day, ill get about 8-10 days before refueling. I drive a truck, im constantly changing elevation and temperatures so i wont complaint about the life span, especially since an out of the box zippo would give me 5 days tops
My grandpa was driving and his leg started to burn/ hurt . He had overfilled his zippo and it leaked thru his pants. 1950 era. If only they had ziplock bags back then. Lol. So smart buddy. ... 👍 Good thinking.
The hole in the bottom next to the flint tube is for extra flint witch is why in red letters it says lift to fill it’s not to fill up with lighter fluid
That sandwich bag trick is pretty awesome bro. I’m gonna have to try that. Right now I have one of those rubber plugs installed in mine to aid in premature evaporation but it’s kind of a pain to refill through the tiny hole. Nice tips. I love Zippo’s and I don’t even smoke. Just like carrying one around with me all the time. I’ve got about four of them so far just cuz I think they’re fun to collect.
It's best to put the entire Zippo in a small bag. Regular Zippos leak vapour from the hinges so Its always a good idea to store a zippo wrapped in a small plastic bag. This stops vapour evaporation. A zippo will normally last a few days without wrapping but if you wrap in a plastic bag it can last over a month.
I use two thin putty knives (3/4") to push the cotton in. They double as a way to unscrew the Flint tube. Another UA-camr [@Zippo Fanatic77] posted a similar video.
I watched this video like more than 10 times while waiting for my Armor Polished Brass Zippo. it is name engraved too. Maybe I regret a little doing that as maybe if I polish it the name wont look good lol. Finally I did it, it lights up very smoothly. Altho My lid is kinda loose compared to my other Zippo and it's brand new, that makes me a little upset...also there is a lid gap...sigh... I searched the internet and it seems loose lid is normal...it depends on your luck...sometimes your new zippo is tight and sometimes it's loose.. I use a knife to instead of the 2 plastic strips...more confident to do it that way, much like how zippo fanatic 77 did it. But all other aspects I follow your way. Very smooth light, haha...cotton bacon is magic! or maybe cause it is newly filled? idk.
need to use pliers to bend the hinge loops tighter on the pin. i got a brand new zippo with a super loose hinge and hated it until i fixed it. this guy talks about some tips for the hinges i basically did what was in this video ua-cam.com/video/7D90yyskiJA/v-deo.htmlsi=TMwBJZfJ9qBS2j2P

After yoou fill the insert put the corner of a frezer bag over the end felt and insert it in the Zippo case this helps with evaporation fuel econemy wait a while before lighting lots of fumes it will flare high so wait a while clean off your fingers please ask me how I know oh ya !

Old video but i got a question, after the wick is not working/dead or whatever, do you just pull the wick or do you have to do the s shape trick again?
Just pull it out a bit then cut it. No need to do anything else. After doing it 2 or 3 times, depending on how much you cut off, you can repack it with a new wick.
I know some people just don't put the felt in at all to allow for more room for cotton and fluid. Probably could get an extra day of use. I personally like the felt and it just doesn't seem like a Zippo insert without it.
You can, but this premium stuff supposedly wicks faster and holds more fluid. Not sure if that's true, but it wasn't too expensive and I wanted to try something new.
You deserve more subscribers with the content you put out. I just got a new abyss purple zippo and usually I redo the wick and stuff, and I actually already have cotton bacon around because I vape using RDAs, but I never thought of the thing you did with the packaging when you put the cotton in, or the sandwich bag trick. I’ll have to try it tomorrow after I get off work and see how much better and longer my zippo performs, subbed 🤙🏻

Old video I know but your idea for using the plastic inserts to keep the wick centered between the cotton is genius!!!
You know....After all these years this is the best Zippo repacking tutorials I have ever seen. JOB WELL DONE !!!!
Cool video. I've had an unusable zippo on my shelf for a few years . Because of your help , I can finally fix it.
Thanks dude!🙂
That’s extremely different way to stuff an insert. I like it! Seems very effective and also not long to do. Great job!
Thanks! It provides the wick 100% coverage of the cotton so that when your fluid is low, it can wick up every last drop. Sure it will still work with a stub of a wick, but won't be as powerful of a flame and can be blown out easily.

Comme le coton est neuf, c'est pour la premiere utilisation, pour cela autant de liquide. ☺
I’ve carried a zippo every day since 1987. The best way to have the wick is about halfway up the chimney, and frayed.
Never had one fail to light or need to be adjusted or replaced in all those years if it had so much as fumes in it. Set it and run it. My current edc is from ‘09, and it gets struck 30-35 times a day, and the wick is exactly as it was the day I got it and filled it for the first time.
I have my wick level with the chimney. I like my big flame :)
Halfway up wick like you have though will be more fuel efficient.
Damn guys, you are putting your wick so high. Mine is like 1/3 up because the fuel evaporates like crazy and it starts burning when its high
mine rests ever so slightly over chimney level because me like big flame.
Always more room for tutorials! Thanks for adding to the community bud! Keep em coming
Great video! So much better than trial and error on my part, thanks!

I don't own a zippo but still enjoyed watching this and think you did a great job showing some tips/tricks.
Excellent upgrade to a tried and true American lighter. Love it. Thanks.
That's a very good idea, thank you !
I love the clear plastic trick and Zig-Zag. Learn something every day
Thank you for your tutorial. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this informative information you provided.
Well....FYI: The small hole in the center of the top felt is where the spare flint goes.
But that way, the flint will easily fall everytime I pull out the insert.
my guy you are a genius
Everyone thought we had total knowledge of the Zippo lighter... Then this guy shows up and totally 🤯🤯
Thank you so much from Italy
Clever ideas, thanks!

Excellent!
Thank you for the help. It's perfect. Waoooo❤
Just an FYI, If you keep your spare flint under the cotton for to long the lighter fluid will dissolve it. So it's best to rotate them.
Great video 🎉
Plastic shims excellent idea thanks for sharing
Very good, thanks.
You can also put a spare flint in the center hole of the felt as well

Nice video. I will keep my BIC and it floats.
You'll float, too.
When q disposable lighter runs out of fuel, remove the flint, it's still a longer one. I keep a couple under the felt

I can't find cotton bacon on Amazon.:(
Can you not just put 2 flints in the lighter hole instead of storing it in the bottom bit?
How long does it last longer compare to original one?
You know, I have never done a full comparison.
Try using a printer flush ink pot felt. Its the best absorb all your oil.
Would the plastic be affected by the lighter fluid over time?
The plastic doesn't leave it in the insert, plus it's something that is done after a considerable amount of time.
Does anybody cut down the felt to fit more cotton in?
I know some people just don't put the felt in at all to allow for more room for cotton and fluid. Probably could get an extra day of use. I personally like the felt and it just doesn't seem like a Zippo insert without it.
can i use regular cotton for lighter?
You can, but this premium stuff supposedly wicks faster and holds more fluid. Not sure if that's true, but it wasn't too expensive and I wanted to try something new.

Zippo flints suck,If you want a better quality flint. Get a full size disposable lighter and take the flint out of it and use it in your Zippo.
It is a harder, longer lasting and better sparking flint.normally you will have to cut the flint in half...
Another thing you can do is use Coleman camping fuel in your Zippo lighter.burns the same as lighter fluid and is a heck of a lot cheaper.a gallon of it runs under 20.00 bucks...

Having an open flame next to that dry cotton is crazy

Absorbs "faster"? What's your hurry?
Zippo has been manufacturing these for 91 years but FINALLY you've arrived to educate everyone. Channel deleted.
Did you actually see how badly the insert was filled straight from the factory?? The instructions tell you to repack the wick in an S shape
I bought my first Zippo lighter.
The instructions are very helpful.
So because of service
Great job
Shut up
Whaat? Why delete? This is genius.
