Advantages: lasts a very long time

Disadvantages: costs noticably more that other non-zippo wicks

I first had experience with this wick when I bought my first zippo, back last year. and from the day i recived it til this very day, i have not had to pull the wick up once, simply because the wick has QUALITY unlike other wicks that i have used in the past, that gradualy what you could call "disintigrate" because they are of very low quality. they are quite expensive whe you compare it to buying a non-zippo wick, which will only cost you about 20p, but the fact that they dont last long means that it is overall cheaper to buy a zippo wick and have it last you a good few years. in the time you have used 1 zippo wick, you will have got through about 50 non-zippo wicks, keep adding up the 20 odd pence every month and it will soon cost a bit. another good point is that it is far much less hastle in terms of not having to change the wick as much.

HOW TO USE
Firstly, remove the screw that holds in the felt pad, spring, spacer and Flint (remove them too). Now remove the rayon balls. Remove any remaining wick then thread the new wick through the hole at the bottom of the chimney until is is level with the to of the top of the chimney (you can also leave about 1cm stucking up and trim the frayed ends). when you have done that you need to fold the long part of the wick to the oposite side to the flint tube, put in a rayon ball, fold the wick over the rayon ball. keep doing that until you have replaced all of the rayon balls. when that is complete, you need to replace the felt pad, the flint, spacer, spring and screm, you are now ready to but the insert back into the case and your zippo will be ready to use.

Summary: very long lasting and cheaper that non-zippo wicks in the long run
