I also used zippo/ronson oil.
I have lamp oil too...but it always burns dirty if the wick isn’t adjusted properly. I dont see an easy way to adjust the wick on the field lighter after filling.
Either way the lamp oil will burn dirtier, and i’m not sure if I want to light anything going into my lungs with it. Haha!!
I was curious to whether lamp oil would last longer...for outdoor fire lighting purposes.
Cigarette lighter oil is naphtha. IMCO's original design was military and it burns almost anything, but you will get better results with zippo/ronson oil which is easier to buy in small quantities than naphtha. Zippo flints work, their wicks do not, but you can buy IMCO wicks dirt cheap on Ali Express.
