They became popular in the United States military, especially during World War II when all Zippo lighters produced went to the Allied war effort and during the Vietnam War. Zippos gained popularity as “windproof” lighters—able to stay lit in harsh weather. The flint, which produces the spark to ignite the wick, is also replaceable. By sliding the inner component out of the outer shell, its owner can pour lighter fluid into a cotton packing that holds a wick.

Unlike plastic lighters (such as those made by the BIC Corporation) that are used and thrown away, Zippos are refilled with a Naphtha based liquid lighter fluid. Zippos are typically rectangular in design with a hinged flip-top lid. They are highly collectible and hundreds of different styles and designs have been made in the seven decades since their introduction. A Zippo Lighter is a refillable, metal lighter manufactured by Zippo Manufacturing Company.

Be sure to weave the wick through the pieces of cotton. Replace the cotton padding in small pieces. Thread the new wick into the hole, and leave it level with the chimney. To replace the wick, first remove all of the cotton padding with tweezers.

Trim the blackened section off so that the wick is even with the top of the Chimney (wind guard). Use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the wick straight up until clean wick appears. The striking wheel should therefore occasionally be cleaned with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. The paint on some flints has a tendency to choke the teeth on the striking wheel.

So if the flint unexpectedly runs out a replacement flint is easily at hand. A second trick is to put a spare flint under the rayon flap in the lighter assembly. This may overly compress the flint spring, causing poor striking when only one flint is in place. That way, if the first flint runs out, the replacement is already in position.

A common trick is to put in two replacement flints, instead of just one. The striker may need to be "wiggled" a little in order to get the new flint to strike. Replace the lighter assembly into the shell. Drop the replacement flint into the hole, replace the spring, and tighten the screw.

Remove the screw and spring and shake the lighter, to make sure the remnant of the previous flint (if any) falls out. A screwdriver or coin may be necessary, but usually this can be done with the fingers. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the lighter assembly. Open the lighter and remove the lighter assembly from the shell.

Do Not use butane. Do Not test the lighter before replacing the lighter assembly in the shell. Note also that decoration on the lighter might be affected by alcohol. Alcohol is not endorsed by Zippo, but alleviates the irritation without giving up the lighter.

If this occurs, the lighter may be fueled by pure isopropanol or strong rubbing alcohol, though ignition will not be as reliable and the lighter will have to be refuelled more frequently. With the Zippo in a front pocket, this is often characterized by itching and irritation of the delicate skin in the groin region. Some individuals may become sensitive to naptha and other ingredients in fuels for Zippos and other wick lighters. Wipe the shell and hands clean of any excess fluid before lighting.

Replace the lighter assembly in the shell. Otherwise, lift up the bottom part and refill, taking care not to oversaturate the rayon (otherwise, lighter fluid will leak out). Some Zippos will have a small hole in the bottom of the lighter assembly that can be used to refill the lighter. Open the bottle of lighter fluid (the lighter assembly can be used to open the "safety nozzle" used for most brands of fluid).
