Zippo First Time Use?

Question

I just bought my Zippo today. I am trying to light it, but for some reason it won't light when I use the flint wheel. I have not filled it or done anything to it that did not come with it originally. What should I do?

Answer 1

fill it with sippo brand butane. and slide it out of its case and raise the wick and then also make sure you have a new flint.

Answer 2

fill it with butane it probably did not come with butane in it

Answer 3

Open the bottom, and pull up the small flap. Then pour the Zippo fluid. I hope this helps

Answer 4

If it is the old type of lighter fluid  lighter then. Open and

Pull up on the wind guard and you will see a white cotton like material that you need to wet with lighter fluid.  That fuels your lighter, then push it back together and it should light.
