FRESH FLINTS: Keeps the nanoSPARK providing maximum performance. As the flint wears, the performance degrades linearly.
STORE EXTRAS: Extra flints may be stored in the nanoSPARK (sold separately) tinder capsule below the quickLIGHT tinder. Approximately 5 extra flints will fit.
HOW TO REPLACE: Flints are very easy to replace. Unscrew the tinder capsule and remove the quickLIGHT tinder. Then unscrew the small brass screw, being careful, as it is spring loaded. Remove the spring and tap out the remainder of the flint. Place only one flint into the hole, then place the spring into the hole and slide the brass screw onto the spring and screw it all back together.
PRO TIP: If the old flint gets stuck and is worn down sufficiently, you may place another flint behind it. If the old flint is too long, the spring will bind when attempting to screw it back together. Simply remove the new flint and continue to wear down the old flint until a new one will fit behind it.
PACKAGE INCLUDES: Replacement Flint (5 pieces) and Replacement o-ring (2 pieces). Each flint produces up to 500 fire-starting strikes!
