Ferocerium, which is a alloy composing of 19% Iron, 38% Cerium, 22% Lanthanum, 4% Neodymium, 4% Praseodymium and 4% Magnesium
Ferrocerium, also known as ferroflint or firesteel, is the element commonly used in lighter flints. It produces sparks when struck against a rough surface, igniting the fuel in lighters.
strontium
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.
hope not. mine in the 70's operated just like a zippo. liquid fuel and flints, available in tobacco shops
The element used in lighter flints and carbon-arc lamps is cerium. It is a rare earth metal that creates sparks when struck against a rough surface, making it ideal for ignition systems in lighters. In carbon-arc lamps, cerium is used as part of the electrode material to create an arc of light when an electric current passes through it.
The one thing you'll need to buy before using it is lighter fluid. Zippo lighters come empty and you'll need to fill it. You should try and use only Zippo Lighter fluid which you can find at any cigar shop, most convenient stores and most supermarkets. As time wears on, you'll need to purchase flints and wicks but these take a while to wear down. If you're buying online, you may want to purchase these 2 items (flints and wicks), at the time you buy your lighter to save on shipping.

We can walk without constantly falling down. Things stay on the fork when we eat. The bedclothes generally stay on all night. Flints in a lighter actually make a spark. Rubbing your hands to get get warm works.
The clicking sound made by a zippo when you pop the top of the lighter.
