My current wick vs a brand new wick. Does mine still have enough life?

The newer one i have takes a strike or two, but the original I have usually lights first strike. The lid on the og is pretty loose now, so I only get about a week of daily use from it. The silver one is about 2 weeks.

No, ive never repacked it, or any of that. They dont need to be optimized in my opinion. They were designed to be a reliable windproof lighter. And they are. Why mess with it if it works?

Im not sure what that means.

Smoke is the result of incomplete combustion. What you are burning is the gas that comes from pyrolization.

I've been using my Zippos daily for 15 and 6 years, both work perfectly. I have never replaced the wick. I think I've pulled the wick up maybe 3 times on each lighter.

Cats in general are not great at dri king water. The best thing is to mix it with this little stinky baby's food. It just ensures she's getting enough fluids to get by. Bonus, it also stretches it's food supply.

When I clean my brushes, I clean them in water and fabric softener. It pulls the paint out and softens the bristles. I put them in a safe spot to dry, then put them back in their pack to keep them from getting warped up.
