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
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.
To fix the wick in a Zippo lighter, you will need to first empty the fuel from the lighter. Then, use a small pair of tweezers to pull the old wick out from the bottom, trim it using scissors, and insert a new one. Be sure to adjust the wick to the desired length before refueling the 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.
