Why will your zippo spark but no burn?
If your Zippo is sparking but not burning, it could be due to inadequate fuel, clogged wick, or a faulty flint. Try refilling the lighter with quality fuel, adjusting the wick to ensure it's not too low or too high, and replacing the flint if necessary. If the issue persists, consider contacting Zippo customer service for further assistance.

What is better a standered zippo insert or a butane Thunderbird insert?
A butane (Thunderbird) insert is better because the fuel is cheaper and it is air tight so the fuel doesn't evaporate like a normal one. there are two types of insert, one is a soft fame (like one from a Bic lighter) and the other has a torch flame (like one off a blow torch but not as intense). the Thunderbird might be better but it is all down to preference.
Lighter has new wick but very hard to light?
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
How do you fix a lighter?
Fix a lighter? That is pretty vague! Get fluid into it... adjust the wick, put a new flint into the mechanism, or see if the cotton is bad. If it is a butane you should buy a new one, if it is a zippo then I can help but I need more info on the prob!

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
What is the cam for on a zippo lighter?
The cam in a Zippo lighter is a small, curved piece of metal that plays a crucial role in the lighter's ignition mechanism. It helps to create a flint-to-striker contact when the lid is opened, enabling the flint to produce a spark and ignite the lighter's wick. This design allows for a reliable and consistent ignition each time the lighter is used. The cam is essential for the signature "click" sound that Zippo lighters are known for when opened.
When you purchase a zippo lighter what comes with it?
If you buy the lighter, it comes with the case (the outer part of the lighter), the lighter (the inner piece where the wick comes out of the chimney), one wick, one flint, and the filler material that you put fluid onto. You can also purchase kist that come with spare wicks, flints, and a can of Zippo brand fluid. When I bought mine they did not offer the kits, so I bought the lighter, some fluid, some wicks, and some flints and it was under $40 for the whole mess.
