This past week I was able to look at somebody else's zippo and I know now what the problem is. My wheel doesn't bite _enough_. It actually slips past the flint very freely and that's the reason it doesn't make sparks. I also noticed that my wheel is nowhere near as rough as the one in that other guy's zippo. I have no idea what happened, but unless I sit down with an angle grinder and make some grooves in it, I'm gonna have to send it in to get fixed.
I really appreciate all your help guys. With people like you, this forum sure is awesome.
