Pros & Cons
Pros
These wicks are wicked! Fit in my zippo. As an extra bonus for those who care about the environment, these wicks have minimal packaging.
They fit into a zippo insert better than a zippo wick. Rayon is superior to cotton for lighter stuffing, because it retains and wicks better.

I think they are good quality and the fiberglass core makes them last longer

Price
Glad to have these at this price and they work great in z and other gasoline lighters i own and use
I restore old lighters as a hobby and these are a very good value
If you want to pay a fraction of the namebrand price for a superior wick buy these
Get some of these at about 15 per buck tuck a few extras into fuel area so that you’ll always have back ups
Packaging/appearance
As an extra bonus for those of us who care about the environment these wicks have minimal packaging
Competitiveness
These wicks have four advantages over zippo wicks
Third they fit into a zippo insert better than a zippo wick see picture
