Lighter Flints - Soft Flint for Steel Strikers & Soft-Flame Pipe Lighters, 20 Count

These work good in my ST DuPont ligne 2. They are a tad softer than DuPont flints so they don’t last as long but they spark great and light on the first strike. Much cheaper than DuPont

The recommended flint for a Kiribi lighter. Easy to install once you know how: 1) Above all, do not unscrew any of the small screws. You don’t need a tiny screwdriver for this procedure. 2) The large bolt opposite the flame end on the upper part of the lighter does unscrew. Remove the spring and shake out the old flint. 3) Drop in the new flint, put the spring back in, and while compressing the spring re-install the bolt. You’re done. Works great. Expect the flint striker wheel to be stiff for awhile. You can adjust the bolt as needed.

Bought these for my Kiribi lighter and they work well and last a long time. Better than Zippo IMO.

I have a Duke 2 lighter from Japan that I love. I have been using it a ton, lighting incense, burning frayed cord, threads, scaring my children,, etc. I don't smoke but I find lots of uses for a quick flame. I tried replacing the flint with the gold color zippo flint. It was terrible. It went from lighting every time to requiring a very firm, deliberate snap to get it to light and sometimes a weak little spark would spit out and fail to light. I was very bummed because I looked all over the internet for info on which flints were in the Duke 2. No luck. I saw that these flints were made in Japan and decided to take a chance. JACKPOT! These flints are super soft and throw a shower of sparks with the slights, lightest flick. Yay! Unfortunately, I seem to have bought the last vial so hopefully they come back in stock. These are definitely worth the premium price. The Japanese are rocking the lighter and flint world. I will be watching to buy more of these.

First off, these arrived very quickly so kudos to the seller, TobaccoPipes.com. With that, my package contained 19 flints - not 20. Knowing the high price of these, it was a bit annoying to see this at 60 cents per flint. On testing in my antique 1927 IMCO IFA "trench" lighter, I noticed no difference in performance between these and my much less expensive stock Zippo flints. Both brands spark well and both are reliable. Here's the deal — Amazon sells a ten-pack of Zippo flints for $11.95... that's sixty flints which comes out to 20 cents each. Your results may vary.

Softer flint than Zippo and will help you keep your lighters fully functional longer. A hard flint will abrade the spark wheel faster than these. I use these on my Karibi and Corona Old Boy lighters and as a pipe smoker, some tobacco might require a few delights and the more you use the lighter a hard flint will reduce the grooves on the wheel faster. These used to come in a small blue bottle what was easier to use than this flat container. I transfered the flints a small pill bottle to help prevent spillage, but I really wish I had kept the empty bottle to reuse.

Was surprised how good these were. Using them my antique lighter collection now

They work better and are easier to strike in my Zippo lighters than the ones Zippo makes. I will be buying more. They are both smaller in diameter and length than the standard Zippo flint, so I recommend using some small tweezers, tiny needle nose plier or small forceps for getting them out of the jar and into your lighter. The do work very well.
