Why are people so mad about the length of this video? If you need to know how to refuel a Zippo youre likely new to the zippo world, so the extra tips and knowledge is appreciated if you ask me
LOL That little hole is to fill it. Just squirt it in till it drips...you're done. Now if you want an REAL tip. Lighter fluid is naptha. Nothing more. Go to any hardware store in the paint section and buy 1 gallon of VMP naptha. you now have a life time supply for 1/4 of the cost. Just refill your lighter fluid can. Zippo fluid is $66 per gallon. Naptha is about $17 per gallon. And it has a ton of other uses. Great spot remover,removes stickers from glass, and so on.
Well, I never would of guessed...a video on filling your lighter, nice. Whet you said about the 'hole' in the felt pad is right. It is used to put the nozzle in slightly so to control the spray from going all over. You fill until you see the pad get moist, not soaked...all in one squirt or so. When this happens, by stopping the filling, the fluid will saturate the 'filler' through out and will prevent leaking, spilling, etc. I've been doing this for a long time and was shown this by my grandfather who had done it a long time...well over 100yrs. total so I have faith in this method.
+LMO MechTech Great idea and saves loosing those flints under the felt pad. With dry hands, dropping lighters is common for me and have found if I wrap the bottom with plastic wrap it rarely occurs, so those pesky flints have less chance hiding now. All the best.
Hey man, I'm someone who was doubtful at first whether or not to buy a Zippo lighter as I was completely inexperienced because I've never owned one but after watching your videos I decided I should, so I just want to say thank you, I really enjoy your videos and I also appreciate how much detail you go into, its precisely what I need to hear, and no doubt many other people think so too. So yeah, once again, cheers.
I know it takes like 10 min for the tutorial when really it takes like 30 seconds, but the way you teach, is possibly the best. Giving examples, things to watch out for and keep in mind. I learned a lot about Zippo's, knives, tricks and all sorts of stuff from you. If only more teachers taught they way you do, treating us like friends, making sure we know what we're doing, describe so we understand! The funny thing is, Its better than any teacher Ive had in person. And you do it through a video!
Spent a good bit of money or original/custom/rare zippo lighters on ebay. And when the flints went out or I needed to know how to properly fill them back up, I came to your videos. They have served a good purpose. Thank you very much for the uploads my friend.
Thanks, turned out I wasn't putting enough fuel in, also the wick was pointing towards the wheel which was causing a weak flame. Filled it up more, sorted the wick, and now I have a great flame.
Thanks so much dude :) Putting the lighter in the case upside down helped. Lol. I spilled some and luckily it went in the case. I just put a tissue in and it soaked it up
My God I've had my hands cleaned with lighter fluid more than I care to know. This has brought SOO many memories of my father. The lid on fire (while driving the car) the smell and sound. Thanks!!
I just got a zippo. Your zippo video is the first one in results. I came across few of your knife reviews. This zippo tutorial is very helpful. Thanks.
About a minute to fill it if you bothered to watch. The rest was additional info for people who aren't as informed as you are and could use it. If you're so bright, why are you bothering to watch a video on how to fill a zippo anyway ?
Thanks dude... I completely appreciate a 'how to do' vid on this! I am in a band, and bought a zippo for our lead guitarist's bday). So, I bought the lighter and got it engraved with her name and a four-leaf clover (she's irish), as well as a ' -love the band.' So I had the engraved case, inner lighter, and wicked box... then I wanted to try it to make sure it was good to go. No flame. So, I'm watching your vid a couple times to make sure I don't light my place on fire! U saved my present idea!
@EclipseDante They're tight sometimes when they're new. I suggest getting a bit of wire, threading it through the holes in the chimney, and twist the ends of the wire together over the top. Then, either use your hands or a pair of plyers, and pull that sucker straight out. After the first time, it should come out relatively easily.
@cutlerylover little tip.if you fill a zippo and say it lasts a week before it dries up. if you tape split in the body it creates a semi/airtight seal that prevents the evaporated fuel vapors from escaping the lighter as easily. thus letting a fill last longer.....just be warned electrical tape can leave a sticky residue on your case if you rip off the tape to quickly. i recomend a thumb of a heavy duty ruber glive and cut it into a 2 inch loop.
This guy isn't just a 30 second done video kind of guy when he is informing people he goes through it all gives alot of information about it. i love that it isn't just a 30 second video. i always come to this channel for any zippo need. tricks,information,anything keep it up cutlerylover! love your videos.
dont worry bout the people who say you talk too much. You covered everything and gave some good tips/info. Rather have too much than too little of information
i had my zippo for 3 years now. it still works just fine and i still love just as much, maybe even more. it once fell out of my pocket in the winter and was in snow in 1 week until i found it (i searched almost every day). it got a little rust or miscolloring on it but Really little. it just made it look even better. Damn i love my zippo!
And it's not just about filling the thing, the tips here like how it might leak (which mine did) and how you can use the case in so many different ways was also very helpful. It's not stupidity, just ignorance. Sometimes it's just helpful to have a guide.
Hey, cutlerylover, I just thought you should know that the reson for the thing that goes up isn't so the lid doesn't close, but because if that didn't move, the lid wouldn't move. It goes all the way up when the lid closes, I just discovered that recently...
I bought Ronsonol from walmart. I feel like that bottom cloth has plenty of capilary action so i just fill the case halfway and slide the body in and tilt it slightly until the capilary action sucks up the fluid, maybe shake it to hear if there is any loose fluid, that works great and is super easy imo. Also no need to go thru the steps of flipping up that cloth thingy and worrying about any leaks on the top of the body while it's upside down. you ever try doing it this way?
hi, very good video,just found a brand new ZIPPO in a kitchen draw much to my suprise.i have just returned to pipe smoking after 20 years.i have never used one of these very good lighter an American icon! thanks again.
Your vids are awesome man, i had to replace my flint today for the first time and didn't have a clue - i refilled at the same time and thought i'd watch this to make sure im doing it right, your little tricks and tips are great. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you this was really useful! I don't smoke or use one of these but bought one for a friend and this really helped me see what to do before gifting it :)
Perfect! This video looks like its made by a pro it definetly help me i just bought my first zippo i ddnt even know it needed fluid i almost threw it away cus i tought it ddnt work thanks for the video!
The directions say to lift the flap to fill and the zippo and the hole is to store an extra flint. I tried your way of filling and the remaining fluid at the bottom casing leaked when I tilted it.. I prefer filling it in the sink until it drips on the wick and I'm good to go!!! Nice video though!!
The point of the lid not closing when you flick the clip up is for if you happen to be doing a cool action movie shot where you walk out a room and you throw your zippo back and it blows up the room behind you that you just poured gasoline on the floor of, it might close when it lands if it had no clip stopper, hope this helps lol ;) obviously a joke
Thanks a lot man! I'm a big fan, have been for awhile (More bali vids please!) and i just found a knock off zippo that an old flame (Bum-bum, Pshh!) left here about a year ago... it was bone, dry, had never been filled. realized I had some lighter fluid out in the living room for helping with fires (When that wood just wont go!) and am now the proud owner of my first Zippo(sorta). and my, is it beautiful :D
One of the needs you would have to put up the lid lock is that some of the lighters have a design under the lid like if you leave it part open it looks like the dragon design on the lighter is breathing fire Or the hand design is picking up a card Sorry about the dumb wording I'm not a linguist
I just got my zippo lighter and had no clue how to refill so this helped a lot. Also is there a difference between Ronsonol lighter fluid and Ronsonol lighter fuel? Because the bottle I have says fuel on it.
i had that same problem. look at your lit and see if its loos. im talking about a lot of play in it. that happens after opening and closing the zippo for a while. your hinge wears out and your fluid will evaporate. if you do tricks this is even more common. between constantly opening an closing the lighter and the possibility of a loos hing that happens. if the hing is loos zippo will cover it in the warranty. some of them do that anyway but its not that common. tricks should be minimal.
Thank a lot! Great video, I always overfilled it and the case of my lighter would catch on fire a lot too....I will most definitely use this trick and putting the case upside down when refilling it! The adjusting the flame was also great tip too! thanks!
Nice video, really helpful. How long approx should lighter fuel last? I smoke about 8 or 9 a day & I have to refill my zippo approx every 2 weeks. Is this normal? If not what is?. I do exactly as this video shows, I dont overfill so it leaks I just put fuel in until you can see it soaked in. Thanks
I used ronson fuel, or however you say it. Now every time I light my zippo it will stay lit, but get gradually smaller and smaller in the matter of seconds and then I'll pretty much only have the blue part of the flame on the bottom of the wick. I was wondering if that was because I need more fuel, or if it's the fluid itself
Thanks man for making this!! I am a pyro and Enjoy collecting lighters and I just bought a Zippo from Hard Rock Cafe..Never had one before but this video seriously helped
Nice video, I have a small annoying problem with mine. The case seems to be just a little bit big or something. After a "Top Pop" or a couple of regular usages the insert slides up a bit so I have to push it down to keep the case closed. Can I do something about this?
I appreciated this video. Obviously you can guess the simple act of how to fill a Zippo, but little tips like how much fluid to put in are helpful to stop you damaging your lighter or your skin :-P
I'm 18, and I only smoke for like a year... But I need to get a zippo, these lighters are simply beautiful... Do you have tutorials about tricks so that I can learn? Thank you
not just that, but, if you over fill, it will, sometimes, leak in your pocket and give you a chemical burn on your leg. I ride a motorcycle and had it happen a number of times, while riding, so I carry mine in a leather case on my hip. it's rather painful.
I won't even enter the secret word, there's not a big chance of me actually winning the contest, but it's a funny coincidence, that the "winning" video is actually the one that helped me discover your channel and made me subscribe to you :) (thinking of it, it's not such a coincidence, considering it's one of your most watched videos :) )
Should you be able to smell the lighter fluid, or does that mean there's too much? Sorry, never had a zippo so I'm not sure. It didn't like, there wasn't a puddle, I don't think I actually put nearly as much as he did, but just curious.
Hi cutlerylover I have a gas zippo lighter with a dial in the middle to release gas. When I fill it with fluid then open the screw it works but really quickly runs out of gas. But when I close the screw it doesn't work at all. What can I try to make it work? I notice that when I close the lid it pushes a bar over towards the source of the flame, to close the gas flow I presume. Any advice and help would be dearly appreciated. Thanks
My dad taught me 2 things over 40 years ago- Never over-fill your Zippo, or else you will get a "hot pocket" (burning leg syndrome) when you stick it in your pants pocket. The other is to keep spare flints under your felt pad. Nothing worse than being "In the Field" and having a flint run out on you, with no replacement.
Thank you for these videos, I recently started a small Zippo collection and I am a smoker myself and do think Zippos are really cool. You're in depth vids help quite a lot.
Specz Nicety I am not a Nazi. Swastikas originated from Mongolia and many other religions you fucking idiot. Go research things before calling out something you know nothing about. Bitch.
Specz Nicety I am aware of it but you should be aware of it origins. Just because it was involved in his regime doesn't mean the symbol as a whole is evil. If you think that then you're stupid.
Awesome video dude thanks a ton i just got my first zippo and i thought it was busted but your vid was super clear about how to fill it and now it works again thanks!
Why are people so mad about the length of this video?
If you need to know how to refuel a Zippo youre likely new to the zippo world, so the extra tips and knowledge is appreciated if you ask me
Tell them, Dio.
Yeah zippo is life saver
It is useful I watched the whole thing
Agreed I just got my first zippo didn't even know you had to fill it lmao
LOL That little hole is to fill it. Just squirt it in till it drips...you're done. Now if you want an REAL tip. Lighter fluid is naptha. Nothing more. Go to any hardware store in the paint section and buy 1 gallon of VMP naptha. you now have a life time supply for 1/4 of the cost. Just refill your lighter fluid can. Zippo fluid is $66 per gallon. Naptha is about $17 per gallon.
And it has a ton of other uses. Great spot remover,removes stickers from glass, and so on.
that's correct. I have a Ronson Lighter Fluid package from the 90s. It says it's NAPTHA right on the package. Zippo now owns Ronson.
The little hole in the felt is an aid in lifting the felt. If you can't grab the felt, insert a straightened paper clip in the hole, and bend. Voila!
Thanks for the tip!
Be my grandpa.
You can use the nib of lighter fluid bottle to lifting the felt
Had to watch this video seems every time i fill my zippo i over flow it so when i light i light ... my hand ... on fire
It's lit

I just bought my first Zippo and I filled it following your tutorial :) Thank yoy very much.
Using the lighter case as a screwdriver can bend or damage the finish, if any, on the case. If a screwdriver isn't available, a dime works well.
I always just poor the fluid on all over the fuzzy shit and it seem to work, but this seems more official... XD

I need fluid. Im forced to use bics to light my smokes. I have to wait 5 whole days...
Great video, I just bought my first zippo and this helped me a lot!
never knew that you can put so much science into refilling a zippo. nice vide :)
Spent a good bit of money or original/custom/rare zippo lighters on ebay. And when the flints went out or I needed to know how to properly fill them back up, I came to your videos. They have served a good purpose. Thank you very much for the uploads my friend.

I bought the Ronson Butane crap! Now I know what I did wrong.....thanks for the video
Cole Terrell rip
so that's what i've been doing wrong over flowing it .... xD
My God I've had my hands cleaned with lighter fluid more than I care to know. This has brought SOO many memories of my father. The lid on fire (while driving the car) the smell and sound. Thanks!!
I just got a zippo. Your zippo video is the first one in results. I came across few of your knife reviews. This zippo tutorial is very helpful. Thanks.
I love his vids but did he really do a 9minit vid on filling up a zippo
gtfo ur 11 learn to spell
+simran jabbal you're*
your*
clearly you don't know the difference between you are and yours
JZiiP I was trolling, clearly you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".
fucking 9 minutes to fill a zippo? haha
10*
About a minute to fill it if you bothered to watch. The rest was additional info for people who aren't as informed as you are and could use it. If you're so bright, why are you bothering to watch a video on how to fill a zippo anyway ?
I lit myself on fire sitting in my friends car yesterday filling my zippo. I had to put our my new zippo fireball with cappuccino 😕
Out
You know, I think this may be one of the best hobbyist channels on youtube.
Thanks so much! I just bought my first zippo and had no idea how to maintain it... your videos are a big help!
I just wanted to know how to refill it, not a fucking dissertation on Zippo lighters
Thanks dude... I completely appreciate a 'how to do' vid on this! I am in a band, and bought a zippo for our lead guitarist's bday).

Great video. This is my first Zippo and after watching your video I filled and am now ready to use the lighter. Thanks. Mike
May be 10 minutes, but for someone who's never done this before it was super helpful!
great video my friend, finally got my grandfathers old zippo all fixed up and in perfect working condition. thanks much
This guy isn't just a 30 second done video kind of guy when he is informing people he goes through it all gives alot of information about it. i love that it isn't just a 30 second video. i always come to this channel for any zippo need. tricks,information,anything keep it up cutlerylover! love your videos.
Fantastic!!!!! I got mine as a gift and had no idea how to refill it!!! Great tips too!!! Good job!!!
hey man, i bought my first zippo today! your videos have helped me so much! especially this one! thanks again
very cool video, I just bought my first zippo and didn't want to mess up when filling it. it works perfect. thanks for the info.
Great tutorial! Very thorough. This is why I dig CZcams! Without your instructions I might've ended up in the ER Burn Unit. Woot! I did it!
@Vanillapenguinn nope, just remove the insert and leave it out in room temperature to start fresh, then fill it with zippo or ronson lighter fluid
Shmegma! You know, i watch your videos pretty much all day and i really appreciate them. Thank you Jeff
dont worry bout the people who say you talk too much. You covered everything and gave some good tips/info. Rather have too much than too little of information
i had my zippo for 3 years now. it still works just fine and i still love just as much, maybe even more. it once fell out of my pocket in the winter and was in snow in 1 week until i found it (i searched almost every day). it got a little rust or miscolloring on it but Really little. it just made it look even better.

Great video...I just bought my first Zippo last week and this video was very helpful! Keep them coming; I appreciate the tips...
I love how this dude explain every single detail.
Just bought my first Zippo. Thanks for your awesome video, especially the part about using the lighter case as a screwdriver. Nice tip.
Great video. I just got my first Zippo and I didn't know how to fill it, so this was very informative. Thanks man.
Hey, cutlerylover, I just thought you should know that the reson for the thing that goes up isn't so the lid doesn't close, but because if that didn't move, the lid wouldn't move. It goes all the way up when the lid closes, I just discovered that recently...
Thank you for making this video. Your instructions are clear and very easy to follow
Lol gluemarned the video DOESNT start at 4:10,all those 4:10 mins you didnt watch, helped me a lot :) Thank you for your vid man YOU ROCKKK
I bought Ronsonol from walmart. I feel like that bottom cloth has plenty of capilary action so i just fill the case halfway and slide the body in and tilt it slightly until the capilary action sucks up the fluid, maybe shake it to hear if there is any loose fluid, that works great and is super easy imo. Also no need to go thru the steps of flipping up that cloth thingy and worrying about any leaks on the top of the body while it's upside down. you ever try doing it this way?
the flint is the piece that makes the spark and the screw has a spring under it for the opening mechanism
hi,
very good video,just found a brand new ZIPPO in a kitchen draw much to my suprise.i have just returned to pipe smoking after 20 years.i have never used one of these very good lighter an American icon! thanks again.
Your vids are awesome man, i had to replace my flint today for the first time and didn't have a clue - i refilled at the same time and thought i'd watch this to make sure im doing it right, your little tricks and tips are great. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you this was really useful! I don't smoke or use one of these but bought one for a friend and this really helped me see what to do before gifting it :)
I personally benefited from the video. I liked the extra tips you gave. Great video. Try to shorten into 3-5 minute videos though.
Perfect! This video looks like its made by a pro it definetly help me i just bought my first zippo i ddnt even know it needed fluid i almost threw it away cus i tought it ddnt work thanks for the video!
The directions say to lift the flap to fill and the zippo and the hole is to store an extra flint.
I tried your way of filling and the remaining fluid at the bottom casing leaked when I tilted it..
I prefer filling it in the sink until it drips on the wick and I'm good to go!!!
Nice video though!!
The point of the lid not closing when you flick the clip up is for if you happen to be doing a cool action movie shot where you walk out a room and you throw your zippo back and it blows up the room behind you that you just poured gasoline on the floor of, it might close when it lands if it had no clip stopper, hope this helps lol ;) obviously a joke
but really... this is the only thing i can think of.
Thanks for making what should have been an easy and possibly self explanatory task into a 10 minute fucking video!
Thanks a lot man! I'm a big fan, have been for awhile (More bali vids please!) and i just found a knock off zippo that an old flame (Bum-bum, Pshh!) left here about a year ago... it was bone, dry, had never been filled. realized I had some lighter fluid out in the living room for helping with fires (When that wood just wont go!) and am now the proud owner of my first Zippo(sorta). and my, is it beautiful :D
One of the needs you would have to put up the lid lock is that some of the lighters have a design under the lid like if you leave it part open it looks like the dragon design on the lighter is breathing fire Or the hand design is picking up a card
Sorry about the dumb wording I'm not a linguist
This dude has got to be high. He's explaining these things in such great detail.
dude i had no clue that you could use the case as all those tools... thats awesome
i appreciate the fact that you're making a video that helps us. But seriously, you don't have to drag it out so much.
shmegma, and from my understanding of zippos (through scouting and all that) the hole in the felt is actually meant for a spare flint.
Yes. It happens quite often actually. Just let the fluid thats in the lid burn out (should only take like 5 secs).
I just got my zippo lighter and had no clue how to refill so this helped a lot. Also is there a difference between Ronsonol lighter fluid and Ronsonol lighter fuel? Because the bottle I have says fuel on it.
i had that same problem. look at your lit and see if its loos. im talking about a lot of play in it. that happens after opening and closing the zippo for a while. your hinge wears out and your fluid will evaporate. if you do tricks this is even more common. between constantly opening an closing the lighter and the possibility of a loos hing that happens. if the hing is loos zippo will cover it in the warranty. some of them do that anyway but its not that common. tricks should be minimal.
Thank a lot! Great video, I always overfilled it and the case of my lighter would catch on fire a lot too....I will most definitely use this trick and putting the case upside down when refilling it!
The adjusting the flame was also great tip too!
thanks!
Just got my first Zippo thanks to you Jeff keep it up
Actually it is meant to be lifted to fill up. On some Zippos it actually says it on the part you lift up it is written "Lift to fill"
Nice video, really helpful. How long approx should lighter fuel last? I smoke about 8 or 9 a day & I have to refill my zippo approx every 2 weeks. Is this normal? If not what is?. I do exactly as this video shows, I dont overfill so it leaks I just put fuel in until you can see it soaked in. Thanks
Haha 3 months later and I finally get actual fluid! Thanks cutlerylover!
Ok i just did what you said at 9:30 somewhere and it helped. My "wick" was burned :D
Thanks a lot , my Marlboro 12 year old Zippo works again :)
I used ronson fuel, or however you say it. Now every time I light my zippo it will stay lit, but get gradually smaller and smaller in the matter of seconds and then I'll pretty much only have the blue part of the flame on the bottom of the wick. I was wondering if that was because I need more fuel, or if it's the fluid itself

This is so thorough and helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, man. First time zippo owner and you really have some great videos regarding the subject.

i like the detail burn the fluid that is spiled on your fingers...
you can adjust the flame by pulling the wick out more too
Did this worked perfectly with regular lighter fluid. Great vid
not just that, but, if you over fill, it will, sometimes, leak in your pocket and give you a chemical burn on your leg. I ride a motorcycle and had it happen a number of times, while riding, so I carry mine in a leather case on my hip. it's rather painful.
A lot of good tips and it takes time to convey that. Keep up the great vids!
Thank you very much! you're doing great job,But i didnt really understand how do you know when to stop filling the zippo ill be glad if you help me :)
I won't even enter the secret word, there's not a big chance of me actually winning the contest, but it's a funny coincidence, that the "winning" video is actually the one that helped me discover your channel and made me subscribe to you :)

Hi cutlerylover
I have a gas zippo lighter with a dial in the middle to release gas. When I fill it with fluid then open the screw it works but really quickly runs out of gas. But when I close the screw it doesn't work at all. What can I try to make it work? I notice that when I close the lid it pushes a bar over towards the source of the flame, to close the gas flow I presume.
Any advice and help would be dearly appreciated.
Thanks
My dad taught me 2 things over 40 years ago- Never over-fill your Zippo, or else you will get a "hot pocket" (burning leg syndrome) when you stick it in your pants pocket. The other is to keep spare flints under your felt pad. Nothing worse than being "In the Field" and having a flint run out on you, with no replacement.
Great video. About how many days/lights do you have after refilling?
Thank you for these videos, I recently started a small Zippo collection and I am a smoker myself and do think Zippos are really cool. You're in depth vids help quite a lot.
wtf is your name you nazi bitch
Specz Nicety I am not a Nazi. Swastikas originated from Mongolia and many other religions you fucking idiot. Go research things before calling out something you know nothing about. Bitch.
Specz Nicety After Genghis Khan did you moron. That is like saying that the cross is an evil symbol.
Specz Nicety I am aware of it but you should be aware of it origins. Just because it was involved in his regime doesn't mean the symbol as a whole is evil. If you think that then you're stupid.
Specz Nicety Looks cool.
Awesome video dude thanks a ton i just got my first zippo and i thought it was busted but your vid was super clear about how to fill it and now it works again thanks!
it's because you've wet the wheel with fluid, give it a moment to dry, and it will be better. Or it means you have to replace the flint.
Hey man, you should make a playlist with all of your zippo-related videos so we can have them all in a list.
