So i pushed my wick forward, then pushed it back to its original position and it started fraying SIGNIFICANTLY. I asked a friend and googled how to fix it and they said “just pull the wick with tweezers from the base, so I tried pulling the wick up through and the whole thing just shredded up and broke off?! What the hell? What am I doing wrong? I paid £50 (off zippos official website so it wasn’t a scammy fake) for something that is just breaking immediately! Someone please help

Hello everyone, i’m trying to disassemble this Abdulla lighter i have that’s not working, but one of the screws has like a separate rivet or something at the center.

For the life of me can’t get a good grip with a rubber band underneath or anything to unscrew them.

Anyone run into these before?

I was gifted an engraved lighter 5 days ago and it’s been having trouble lighting. I cut the charred wick off, unpack and repacked the cotton and filled it with plenty of fluid (probably too much as the pad below the insert is wet). It’s really struggling to light, i even put a little fluid on the wick without success, what can i do?

When the flint was at the wrong angle, it made a huge flame, but when i adjusted it, it kept not lighting

Took off lid, now after trying to slide everything back into place and put the pin in, lid only closes halfway and if I close it all the way it bounces back up.
