And it will come with experience. Like everything else. "Feeling lighter," so it would be called. Nabete very tight - will not absorb fuel. Too little - Lighter fulfills one full refuel quickly. Well, I would have identified: wool should be thick enough, but at the same time a little bit to "breathe" to be soft. So, I suppose.

In an extreme case, if something is wrong with cotton - not scary. Main hand and a lighter wipe after refilling by following the instructions Zippo.

Nobody tried, I look and I liked it: chop cotton pads for removing makeup! Conveniently insert and well kept! However, the first time overdone, put a lot of - insert swollen, barely pulled.
