Can you replace zippo cottonballs with regular cotton balls?
sure
What are the components of a zippo?
There are not alot of parts on a zippo lighter which is why it is such a reliable lighter. the main components are the flint, chimeny, flint wheel, case, case insert, cotton balls, wick, cam (that's what makes the famous zippo cling), and felt pad. there are other littlle components such as pins and the hinge on the case as well. you can replace all of the following parts yourself: the wick and flint. if you have any other problems you can send your zippo to the zippo factory in pennsillvaina and they will either fix it or replace it free of charge. hope I helped
How do you replace the packing material in your Zippo if it gets lost?
Standard cotton balls. 5 for full sized, 4 for slim. Alternately you can keep an eye on eBay, I've seen Zippo branded packaging material on there OR send the lighter back to Zippo, they'll fix it up and return it to you with both your old and a new insert complete with new wick, flint, and packing.
Can you take lighter fluid from one lighter and put it in a zippo?
im not sure if you mean taking the fluid from a regular lighter and putting that into a zippo or just simply zippo to zippo but I'll answer both. I wouldn't recomend putting normal butane lighter fluid into a zippo because it runs out really fast and makes the flame far too big to be practical. if you want to change fuel from one zippo to another simply remove the insert, peel back the first felt layer, take out the cotton from inside and putting that cotton into the other zippo. hope that helped :)
How often do you have to replace the flint in a Zippo?
I usually refill mine about twice a week. This also depends on how big the Zippo is and how often it's used.
How do you stop making your balls itch?
Spray some deodorant on then and set them on fire, preferably with a Zippo. Hope that helps.
Why won't my Zippo light?
Your question is a bit ambiguous. I would say first, add fluid, make sure the fluid has soaked into the cotton, and keep the lid shut for a min before lighting. If that does not work then I would suggest moving the wick to the flint, this can be done by using a key and pushing the cotton-metal wick towards the spark end of the zippo. Suppose that does not work... you can always purchase zippo parts from a cigar shop and they will be more than willing to help you if you buy a pack of smokes from them! Last case buy a cheap zippo and put the center pice into yours... it will work fine and you will have your zippo art with a genuine zippo center! Remember if you have a problem with your official zippo, then they all have a lifetime guarantee, so you can always send it back to your regional zippo centre.

How do you replace zippo lighters that has been damaged?
You can buy wicks and flints. When you pull the actual lighter out of the case you will find a piece of cotton and a brass screw at the bottom. To replalce the flint you need to unscrew the brass screw and a sping should come out along with the fline piece. If the flint doesn't come out tap it on something and it should fall out. To replace the flint you put a new one on the top of the spring the screw it back in. Before you screw it back in use pliers and rip the cotton out put new 100% cotton cotton ball back in so it fills it. I'm sorry I'm not quite sure hot to replace the wick but I have an idea how..
Can you use normal fluid in a Zippo lighter?
Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
Is the case of a normal 'brass' zippo windproof made of solid brass or is it just plated?
Solid Brass.
What is in the lighter?
In normal disposable lighters like bic it is butane gas, in Zippo lighters you can use most liquid that lights with a spark, but most people just use zippo brand naptha fuel.
