You must do the adjustment December 8, 2009

I have three of these lighters and they have all worked poorly. Low to non-existent flame, no matter how adjusted. BUT I discovered the Amazon review that talks about adjusting the flame. This is slightly more than turning the black knob on the base. You must pull off the knob, and loosen a screw slightly, and then turn the adjuster one little click counter-clockwise, tighten the screw up and then put the black knob back on. Now try it. I was ready to send them all back to ZIPPO in one big box with 1 $5.00 check and hpe for the best, but it is now not necessary.
All are working and all are working better than they ever have.
IF YOURS IS WORKING POORLY TRY THE ADJUSTMENT.

I had been using $1.00 refillables for a few years, but decided to upgrade to this Zippo, thinking that the heavy duty construction would ultimately reduce my environmental impact (it comes with a lifetime warranty is states boldly on the package!). Since I use lighters in various places, I bought three of them, for $35.00! I figured, $35.00 is well spent if they will last me a long time and I won't have to produce as much garbage.
However, these lighters are very poor quality. All three of mine were operating poorly in less than a year, and within 18 months, two are now garbage, and the third lights about one of every 10 attempts.
Why worry you ask? Just take 'em back under warranty right? Problem is, Zippo wants $5.00 in shipping and handling fees to accept the return, and by the time you've paid your own shipping (plus insurance and tracking as Zippo suggests), your almost in for the cost of a new lighter. It seems Zippo has it worked out pretty well for themselves.
I am incensed that I shelled out $35.00 for this terrible product, and have ended up making more garbage than I would have with my cheapo $1.00 models, which used to last me about two years each. In my opinion Zippo's warranty is a come-on, and I fell for it hook line and sinker. It is one thing to make a lousy product, it is another to hook people in with what amounts to being a useless warranty.
I recommend you look elsewhere, unless you don't mind shelling out all that money for what amounts to a disposable lighter.
 good lighter April 24, 2009

Had been disappointed with every lighter like this I'd ever bought... This one was the exception.
Sturdy construction... feels and performs worthy of wearing the name "Zippo"
Only criticism of the unit:
The ignition switch is a little awkward to use and requires you to hold the unit far closer to the end where the flame comes out than I'd like. So say if you're trying to light of of those tall prayer candles which has burned three quarters of the way down, you'll find it difficult to light it with this lighter. (*note - "difficult", not impossible).
 good after tuning up the flame adjustment January 28, 2009

I had the same problem as other reviewers with the small flame and difficulty lighting. Fixed the problem by pulling off the adjustment knob, turning the adjustment shaft till it lit easy and had a healthy flame, then replacing the knob. Now it works like it should.

I haved had the same problem as the previous reviewer. Low to near non-existent flame, even on high. I added more fuel, but to no effect.
Leave this one alone.
