diff_lock Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 My zippo is burning with a partial flame, and its mostly blue or non-visible. Is there some wick adjustments, or is it the fuel I am using? I am looking for a more complete flame, and one that puts out more visible light so I might have a chance at using as a candle to see when needed. Also the lantern fluid I used seems to have a high ignition temp, so high that the sparks aren't lighting the fluid. Could be something else though, since I think the sparks are pretty hot.

dr_bowtie Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 you're supose to use Zippo fluid in that lighter...and yes there is a wick adjustment...sounds like you need to maybe pull it out a bit... Just get lighter fluid from the store and try that first.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Don't forget to hide an extra flint in the cotton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diff_lock Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I did a test run with some deodorant, works great, a little too volatile, but now I know my lantern fluid was the problem. Time to find zippo fuel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
