Replacing a metal match wick. 

also u forgot the most important bit; how to get the flint bit out of the steel handle without breaking either.

Just found this video. I got the Aliexpress special as well, and I decided to go for a Zippo wick (with the copper wire) and couldn't figure out how to get the flint out. This helped a lot, thank you

Brilliant! Ceramic fiberglass! Superb wick.

Missed these videos!! Must have been a busy year for me but checking them all out now!!!!

Thanks for this awesome hint! by way of giving back, There’s a bit of a trick with those matches. The wick won’t burn until the fuel that’s in the wick burns. So if you think you’re going to have to have it burning for a while, it might be worth your while to do whatever you have to do, and then just let it sit back in the fluid again before relighting.

for a permanent wick use silica wick.

I'll have to do this with mine but mine also seems to have a little bit of wire wrapped around the wick so that'll be an interesting challenge to deal with since I don't know how much is wrapped.

Where can you get a replacement striker? I put too much pressure and it snapped off.

Thank you 👍

Just got one of these, but where can I get a flat flint for replacement when mine is used up?

COOL!

Great video ❗🔥💯👍

I have an antique one that I can’t figure out how to get the metal insert out of. It needs the wick replaced because it is falling apart, but I can’t get the metal part out of the center. Any ideas? Do the antique ones not come out?

I should get some of those matches. Good video.

What do u use for a flit mine broke when i removed it its a little shorter now

I tried replacing the wick and the back end just ripped off instead. Anyone know where to get a higher end one of these? One that’s reasonably durable?

Very good I'm not sure what you're using for a wick can you tell me again what it is and where you get it please?

What lighter fluid do you use

I use Zippo wicks

why not just use a zippo wick?

are matches expensive seems labor intensive, i think people would save more just packing they're lunches etc no time for this.
