FAQs
Does the lighter come filled with fluid?
No, for safety reasons, all Zippo lighters are shipped unfilled. You must purchase Zippo premium lighter fluid separately.
How do I claim the lifetime guarantee?
Zippo offers a famous repair policy where they will fix the lighter for free if it fails to work, regardless of age. You can contact Zippo directly via their official website for repair instructions.
Can I use any lighter fluid in this?
We strongly recommend using genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid for optimal performance, flame stability, and to prevent clogging the internal components.
How often should I change the wick?
The wick typically lasts a long time. You only need to replace it when you can no longer pull up enough fresh wick to light consistently.
Is the American flag design durable?
Yes, the design is applied to the metal casing for durability, though normal wear and tear from keys or coins in a pocket may occur over many years.
Troubleshooting
Lighter will not spark
Check the flint to ensure it is not worn down; replace the flint if necessary by unscrewing the flint spring screw on the bottom of the insert.
Flame is weak or will not stay lit
The wick may be charred or need trimming. Pull the wick up with pliers to expose clean cotton and trim the excess charred portion with scissors.
Lighter is leaking fluid
You have likely overfilled the cotton packing. Wipe the exterior of the insert dry and let it sit for a few minutes before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Zippo for first use, lift the insert from the case and turn it upside down. Lift the felt pad to expose the cotton packing material and saturate the cotton with genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid until the cotton begins to look wet. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Always use genuine Zippo parts for replacements; using non-compatible flints or wicks can cause the ignition mechanism to jam or the flame to burn inconsistently. Clean the outer casing with a soft cloth to maintain the finish, and keep the hinge free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
