Camel Core Wick! High Performance! Copper Wire. Real Baby Camel Hair!

Have you experienced the embarrassment of your lighter not lighting when you need it to? Do you constantly lose money as expensive lighter fluid evaporates away? Are you frustrated by having to refill your lighter every few days? Are you tired of dealing with weak and inconsistent flames?

This wick solves these problems and dramatically enhances the overall performance of your lighter.

Introducing the Copper Camel Core Wick by EPIC LIGHTER BUILDS: A revolutionary new wick poised to change the overall performance of your lighter.

We respect tradition and brand loyalty. You rely on your Zippo because it represents a perfected, iconic design. However, while the metal case is legendary, the simple cotton wick and fibers inside are subject to the limitations of standard materials—specifically evaporation and inconsistent fuel flow.

This is a genuine PERFORMANCE UPGRADE because it is a brand new innovation—the first of its kind—designed to solve those fundamental material limitations and unlock the full potential of your Zippo. The Copper Camel Core Wick offers a premium, precision-engineered solution for maximum flame power, fuel retention, and longevity that far surpasses the capabilities of any other wick. It’s an essential performance upgrade for Zippo and Zippo-style naphtha lighters.

Wicks are literally a dime a dozen these days, with many aftermarket options. Some of them are offering cheap fiberglass cores and either minimal copper wire or inferior, stiff brass wires, while others are simply selling cotton-only wicks. While cotton wicks make great ropes, they do not move fuel as quickly and reliably for lighter fluid applications. Additionally, many of these competitor wicks contain unnecessary dyes and synthetic fibers. This Copper Camel Core Wick is the superior alternative.

The Copper Camel Core Wick is an upgraded proprietary cotton core copper wire wick. 100% pure natural cotton is intricately woven with the copper wire to form a tightly woven sheath that encases a stable core. The copper wire also acts as a thermal conductor, helping to warm the fuel reservoir and increase the rate at which fuel vapors turn into a gas—which is what the fire actually burns, not the liquid fuel itself. This dramatically increases the fuel flow when the lighter is lit. Furthermore, the integrated copper wire allows you to precisely shape and position the wick to achieve the optimal flame and the most consistent burn.

The Secret Core is made of five individually twisted strands of Mongolian Baby Camel Hair, a rare and exquisite fiber that has the unique and remarkable properties of fuel absorption, ensuring unmatched capillary action and superior fuel management. This fiber is composed of hollow tubular shapes, giving it far greater fuel storage capacity than standard cotton. This fiber requires the highest grade, with the longest and finest strands that only come from the baby camels of Mongolia. This specific breed has adapted to the extreme climate differences in Mongolia (from −40∘F to +104∘F), giving the fibers a dual function that allows them to both absorb and hold fuel better than any standard material. This exclusive fiber is ethically sourced from local Mongolian farmers and is gently hand-combed from the underbellies of the baby camels during the natural molting season. It is then meticulously cleaned and carded, ensuring a cruelty-free and pure product. The Baby Camel Hair ensures the purest possible wicking capability. This design effectively regulates the flame size, delivering a steady and reliable burn from the first light after a refill all the way until the reservoir is empty.

Each Copper Camel Core Wick is meticulously crafted by hand in Denver, Colorado, a testament to superior artisanal quality. For your convenience, each wick also includes a sturdy threading needle, securely attached, ensuring quick and easy installation.

The camel hair core is the key to this wick's superior dual capability, specifically engineered to manage and retain fuel. This signature design actively mitigates fluid loss through evaporation, establishing the wick as a true high-performing, fuel-saving device.

This wick rarely, if ever, requires trimming! This is due to the advanced fuel flow rate that keeps the fire away from the wick, ensuring such a clean burn that it does not blacken, even when you run it completely out of fuel.

The length is 4.75 inches, and the crucial 2.5 mm width is intentionally wider than the average 2 mm lighter opening, forcing a tight seal that stops fuel vapor from escaping around the outside of the wick. This greatly reduces evaporation, which is the number one cause of fuel loss in a lighter. We are able to achieve this constant flow and tight seal because the camel fibers are resilient and cannot be crushed or pinched off when pulled through a tighter hole. In contrast, standard cotton and fiberglass wicks can be pinched off, reducing their capillary action; for these wicks to work correctly, they require a looser fit, which unfortunately allows fuel vapor to escape.

A Note on Wick Length: Although this wick is designed for superior fuel management, its high-flow capability can still lead to quicker consumption if the wick is left excessively long, even when using the Camel Hair wadding. We recommend keeping the wick trimmed to a conservative length for maximum fuel economy.
