No, vodka (at 40% alcohol) has too much water in it. Everclear (75%) may work and everclear @ 95% will work the best. It still won't light as easily as Zippo fluid but it'll work; if not, let your zippo dry out and you'll be all set to try something else.

Yes, but it won't light unless it's over 100 proof, and even then, the flame wouldn't be very stable.

No. Zippo fluid is made out of naphtha, which they sell at hardware stores.

Slide the lighter body out of the lighter case, by pulling on the wick cage. With the lighter body upside down squirt lighter fluid into the fiber packing in the lighter until saturated. Reassemble the lighter body into the lighter case. Let excess lighter fluid evaporate before using the lighter.
