Why now do not buy the wick? Looking at the quality, the current brand wicks Zippo just slag. Even if a year or two he did not trim all the same stuff. I read somewhere that asbestos wicks work decade.

Buy asbestos wick does not make sense for one reason: asbestos for many years considered to be a carcinogen that causes lung cancer.

Also, the use of asbestos as a building material in civilized countries a long time ago prohibited.

About carcinogenic fumes do not know and will not say anything (can only be assumed that burned my own - this is not Vitaminka in Mandarin), but asbestos is not just banned.

there is such a thing as authenticity, no self-respecting collector (and I'm just so) will not put in a reinforced wick zippo semiautomatic 1910s, 20s and .t.p.

Ban it everywhere, and in the stocks, and friction disc clutch, and slate has long replaced andulinom. And I'm not saying that the meeting would lead to asbestos-instant death, smoking is harmful at all, even if you use a match)))

I recently bought a Zippo 1956

wick there was "reminiscent of asbestos' (thinner, softer and without wire inserts) ie not the original ...

tucked a lighter until toplaiva padded, tried - off. well so large flame 3-4cm.

The next day, I light, the flame is lit and a great first, and then for 2-3 seconds, decreases, remains about 1cm tall and goes out, and then does not ignite. It is necessary to close the lighter for 5 seconds to turn, open and light. Fuel original (fill it in 211 irone stone)

I went and buy original fuse. Trouble disappeared.
