How do you install a ronson lighter wick?
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
