>>325647I barely ever check my Zippo, refill it once every three weeks, replace the flint like once every two months at best, never changed the wick. Never had a single problem with it.
I'll support the opinion of many anons on this board and say that if you're having problems with it, that's because you're not using it properly. Because yes, there is a proper way to use it, and no, it's not obvious and you won't figure it out in 10 minutes on your own.
It's not like it's complex or takes time, it just needs to be done right.
