Where do I put the fluid? I don't want to ruin the wick/lighter by filling the wick out and fill the fluid, is there another way?

Hello. You have to pull out the lower portion where the flint is contained. After you have that removed, you can re-fill it easily. Hope this helps.

The whole insides comes out of the case, it may take a little pressure to turn it but it will come out. You fill it up at the bottom and you can put a new flint in it also there.

the assembly that holds the sparking wheel and wick pulls straight out (although I usually twist it out - it's NOT threaded). The lighter fluid is then applied by holding this assembly upside-down and putting the fluid on the felt (or whatever that white wicking material is).

Well I have been using the standard butane cans for lighters. I have different brands all will fill it from the bottom but there will be a lot of over spray.

Zippos do that. Nothing is wrong with it. It does it because the Zippo isn't sealed like other lighters. Get a Zippo Butane if you want to avoid this issue

I've never tried it that way, I have a chimney starter and always use that .... I may try it the next time to see if it will work bcuz I hate lighter fluid......

You can refill the lighter yourself by removing the lighter insert from the case, which is quite simple because it slides out easily. When the insert is removed, you will see a screw on the bottom of the insert. Carefully remove the screw, and a spring will slide out...just drop a new flint into the hole and replace the spring and tighten the screw.

You initially lit the wick when it was too close to the wax.... Next time don't put as much wax.... Make sure the wick is about 1/2 inch I believe above the wax when you light it.

Naphtha (the fluid used in traditional Zippo lighters) likely won't even go into a torch because even while empty the fuel chambers are slightly pressurized while bottles of naphtha aren't. You need a pressurized canister (like a can of butane) to get anything into the fuel tank.If using Zippo brand butane, the problem is more likely the fuel itself. Zippo brand butane is intended more for refillable Bic-type lighters and tends to not work well in many torches and torch type lighters. Brands such as Vector or Power (both common here on Amazon) are more refined and are better able to handle the high flow/burn rate of torches.

I am not sure about using a charcoal fluid, but I use the same fuel as a zippo lighter for it. After having this product for a while and using it relatively often for a while I have notice that it doesn't light very easily. Just FYI.

Very. Just fill can, screw on top with wick and drop in. I use a funnel to fill.

I filled mine up with Butane no problem. I'm not sure what you mean by lighter fluid like Zippo type stuff? If it is that then you can't use that type of fuel, butane works fine.

I don't know the type of wick. If I have trouble lighting it, I turn the lamp upside down to saturate the wick first. Hope that helps!

Hi Ada: The Zippo pipe lighter uses liquid lighter fluid and is shipped dry. You must supply your own fluid.Frank

I apologize but I have to ask the obvious just to rule it out - did you refill the tank completely and did you use the same brand of butane? I had a lot of trouble with my torch when I switched butane brands without first draining my tank. If so, I recommend contacting Blazer through their website. They are quick to respond and very helpful.

Use premium lighter fluid by Zippo. Regular lighter fluid woks but has a stronger odor. I think they do sell two packs, but you only really need one to keep both hands warm.

I have to use a blow torch type cigar lighter to really heat up the element till you see some red glowing inside portions of the burner element. Use Zippo fluid too. seems to burn better. once lit burn for aprox. ten hrs or more. Don't put in bag and in your pocket for a few min. after lighting.
