To install a wick in a vintage Ronson lighter use the wire inserter that comes in every pack of ronson wicks. As per the instructions; use the inserter to insert the wick into the the hole where the wick goes. The bottom of the lighter cannot be taken off like that of a Zippo. I have a Vintage Ronson lighter collection and use some of the lighters regularly and had to replace some wicks. that is the only way to replace a wick. I do not think Ronson sells wicks with the inserter anynore. If you have a vintage Ronson lighter and need to replace the wick you need a vintage wick with the inserter. cheers
A Ronson lighter is a vintage, older brand of a lighter. You can purchase one of these from the official Vintage Ronson site. You can also buy them from eBay.
In the novels he used a black oxidized Ronson lighter.

Usually there is no age minimum for buying a wick for a lighter. I would honestly be surprised if a state would require you to be of a certain age to buy a wick.
There is two things what could be wrong with your lighter. One the wick in the lighter could be damp or you have bought a dull lighter.
Take the lighter from it's case.Take out the flint spring screw, and remove the spring and flintTake out the bottom plateRemove all the waddingPush the new wick up or down through the hole, (which ever's easier)Reassemble in reverse order, remembering to push a bit of wadding to the top of the lighter before adding the rest, to trap the wick in the middle of the wadding.
it is worth 15.00/60.00 dollors in ment shape
Only table lighters have any collectable value. Check on Ebay to see what they are selling for.
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.
Yes, charcoal lighter fluid is a hexane. Charcoal fluid is highly flammable and it is a hydrocarbon mixture used in wick type lighters.
before you put the wick in you need to get a little bowl of zippo fluid. Soak the wick in it for 5 minuets then allow it to dry then insert it into the zippo and then add zippo fluid to the lighter and set upsdie down for 5min then flip over and dry off top and use zippo. That simple. Your Friend David davidbtamplen@yahoo.com
The first was a Norway teak style...I cannot find the maker. It was stolen in 1986. Carson replaced it 1986 to 1992, with a Ronson Rosewood table lighter from circa 1968
