How Too: Replace a Zippo Flint HD

[ARodriguez258]

Thanks! I thought that little brass thing was the flint, and I was so confused...

[captawesome11]

aha yeah man i definitely thought the thing on top of the spring was the flint :$

[MrLolzter]

Thanks! Helpful video!

But i have a sort of stupid question.

How do you know when to replace your flint? Can you see it anywhere on the Zippo that it needs to be replaced?

[bioreflex]

thanks man

[lkapriyelov]

[SlimPickle349]

Mine didn't spark, and the flint didn't come out. So I lost my flint. Can you by this at a local store?

[leonliguista]

Excellent, very helpfull.

[migoforsure]

Thanks a lot my man! I was scared I broke my zippo again haha.

[GuiltyOfBeingMinor]

thanks man, this was wonderful. im new to the ZIppo cult and i know they really do last forever if you take care of them. but sillyme, i thought my Zippo was gone after my flint went. P.S. what region is your accent? Nottingham?

[wowfireblaze]

@GuiltyOfBeingMinor Glad i could help, and I currently live in the Isle of Man but used to be in the south of England so i think i prob have a mixture of weird accents. :D

For my 20th birthday my dad gave me a 1969 zippo. He bought it illegally because in my country there was a soviet opression. I didnt know how to change the flint and 10x for the awesome vid !!!

[guruofmonkey]

awesome man, thanks!

[iStevenXD]

wtf where can i get a flint?

tell me pls

a norm lighter? or somthing else??

lol tell me

[zadnosalto]

like mine zippo (brushed chrome) :)

[Soulatheunholy]

Thanks mate :)! this was really well explained and helpfull. Now i have my Zippo fully functional again :)! Expecially like your methods of ''how to do it in the rough'' Instead of saying you NEED a screwdriver, you can just use the Zippo case. which i also did, and worked fine

:)!

So yeah, Thanks alot man

[rabbitpi]

Thankyou! I was confused about the brass bit at the end of the spring - thanks for clearing that up!

[noobxcore]

I'm still having trouble finding extra flints at a store and anyone know if I have to be a certain age to get them?

[astorpolsen]

i cant get the screw loose, any idear's?

[freakin1random]

where do you get the flints?

[daved042008]

thanks man

[SARDEAN10]

flints u can get from smokemart....tobacoworld and places like that. every shoping centre has a smoke store and in there they will have flints along with various other smoke goods such as pipes..lighters and of course zippos

[Preziir]

i didnt get any flints when i bought my zippo at the airport all i got was a box for the lighter.

where can i buy the flints? :)

[SamoIsKing]

You can pick them up from Supermarkets I think, same as filters and papers. If not then a local Jewellers or Shoemenders should stock them

[Murugasan87]

hey man, i just cant seem to unscrew the brass screw.. tried using a screwdriver but it just wont budge one bit

[mutomboo]

thx u really helped me

[crazyazn4]

damn hella helped me out. i did not know how to do this

[Budah1214]

Totally Helped me out. Thanks. My new flint works perfectly. barely any pressure needed and the flint makes a large spark.

[wowfireblaze]

flints last about 2 fill ups of gas but it depends how often ur lighting it for me its about every 2 weeks and the flint wheel neva gets worn out i have a zippo from 1956 wich wich still lights :)

[newtri]

[yankeered2k6]

[wowfireblaze]

@yankeered2k6 usually u can get it at any tobacco counter in newsagent or a supermarket, if not just search eBay for it any their is loads of people selling flints and fluid sets cheaply
