help Zippo Windproof Lighter FAQ

Why does a Zippo lighter 'click' when opened?

The click comes from the spring-loaded cam that holds the lid open or closed. It's one of the most recognizable design signatures of Zippo's brass and steel case construction.

Do Zippo lighters really stay lit in strong wind?

Zippo's windproof chimney design and Naphtha fuel keep the flame burning in conditions that would blow out most soft-flame lighters. Very strong wind can still distort or shorten the flame, but the lighter typically relights easily.

What fuel should I use in a Zippo windproof lighter?

Zippo recommends its own premium lighter fluid, a refined naphtha, for best performance and lowest odor. Alternative naphtha fluids work, but can smell stronger and may soot more.

Does Zippo really cover lighters for life?

Yes, Zippo's famous lifetime guarantee promises to repair any Zippo windproof lighter for free, forever. You only pay shipping to their Bradford, Pennsylvania repair facility.
