How to change ZIPPO wick?

Question

Can I pull it out as far as it's not burned,or do I have to change the whole wick?

Answer 1

nope, you don't have to change the whole wick..just use tweezers or needle nose pliers to pull the wick out until it is all white, and just use sharp scissors to cut off the burnt part, level with the top of the cage...

good as new!!

your wick will last you for years, and when it comes time to change it out completely, it's no big deal, you can buy one just about anywhere and they're simple to install.. good luck!

Answer 2

  you can pull it out as far as it is not burned, then trim off the burned part and you should be good to go.
