I know this is too little, too late, but next time try not to mess with the wick if you don't have to.
I have a zippo I bought when I was 16 (I'm 34 now) and I use every now and then (I'll use it for a couple of months then get tired of refilling it and go back to throw-aways for a couple of months and then back again, etc.). Anywho, I've never touched the wick in mine in the 18 years I've owned and used it... and she lights first/second time every time.
It's been mentioned already, but I believe Zippo will take the lighter back and repair it (free under warrenty, next to nothing if not).
