Tobacco shops, gas stations and outdoor stores often stock Zippo flint cards. Online, search the part number to skip unbranded flints.

Tobacconists sell flints by brand and card, never loose. Fit matters less than spark quality.

• Genuine cards show the 2406N part number.
• Multi-card lots often mean 36 flints, not six.
• Cheap flints crumble and clog the wheel.
• Stash one spare under the felt if there is room.

Do other brands' flints fit a Zippo?

Many standard flints fit. Genuine ones give the most even spark and wear.

How long does one flint last?

It depends on use. Swap it when sparks fade.

Can flints go in checked luggage?

Flints alone are usually fine. Lighter and fluid rules differ by airline, so check first.
