How to Adjust the Wick in a Zippo Lighter

Zippo lighters have many styles and designs. Every Zippo has a number stamped on the bottom, which collectors find useful. Zippo has been in business for over 75 years. A lighter may require a wick adjustment if the flame becomes too high or low, or if its wick becomes black due to carbon. A genuine Zippo wick should always be used in a Zippo lighter.

Instructions

    • 1

      Pull the wick up through the chimney with a pair of tweezers. Pull until the wick appears clear.

    • 2

      Cut the wick evenly to the top of the lighter's chimney. Check the wick in the chimney and make certain it is straight.

    • 3

      Trim the wick every six months, or as needed.

    • 4

      Replace the wick after three adjustments.
