Where can I buy a zippo flint in England?

Question

I live in Swindon, England and own a zippo. My flint is almost completely worn and I need to buy a new one. Where can I do this, can I go to Asda, or Tesco's, for example? Or just a newsagents? It seems to me that just a normal newsagent wouldn't sell a rather specialised product like a zippo flint.

Answer 1

I always just tear up old disposable lighters and take the flint. It has a spring under them so be careful that it does not fly away on you. Just pick up old Bic lighters from the street in your travels.

Haven't bought a flint in years.

Zippo has an incredible LIFETIME warranty and they even return it free with spare flints - I wish more businesses would learn from them
