Product Insights
Tsubota Pearl Replacement Wick is an in-stock 18 AUD bare cotton cord for servicing wick-based lighters: one continuous 790 mm cord per pack, enough for about ten replacements at 1.80 AUD each, with the metal wick holder built into the lighter and not included. Compatibility is split—Queue/Sigaretta and Hard Edge fits do not cross-fit. The wick is plain braided cotton that draws lighter fluid to the tip by capillary action with no priming, and exposed wick length sets the flame, so the working target is roughly 3-4 mm above the flame guard, trimmed shorter for a smaller, more focused flame; wicks without a pre-wound wire need 2-3 cm of inner core stripped to slim the tip. Fitting runs bottom-up through the fill screw and out the top wick hole, after checking for light through the empty tank; rewicking requires pulling the tank wadding, re-weaving it around the new uncut cord, and repacking the existing cotton wadding rather than discarding it, using a threading wire, tweezers, and nail clippers. Maintenance favors trimming a blackened or frayed tip and replacing the wick only once feeding stops; weak, sputtering, or sooty flames signal a wick feeding out of balance, while a sparkless or stiff turning wheel points to the flint, so flint length should be checked before blaming the wick because a bare wheel grinds the ignition rivet. The tradeoff is a low per-replacement cost and independent serviceability of wick, flint, and wadding—the lighter is serviced, not retired—against a bare-cord, fit-specific, hands-on procedure that requires cutting, threading, repacking, and correct diagnosis.
Verified claims
- Compatibility
- Comes in Queue/Sigaretta and Hard Edge fits that do not cross-fit
- Pack contents
- One continuous 790 mm cotton cord per pack, enough to cut about ten wicks
- Installation
- Fitted bottom-up through the fill screw, then trimmed to 3-4 mm above the flame guard
- Flame control
- Exposed wick length sets the flame: shorter is smaller and more focused
- Material
- Plain cotton cord that draws lighter fluid to the tip by capillary action
- Ignition
- A sparkless or stiff turning wheel points at the flint, not the wick
- Wick yield
- One 18 AUD pack is one uncut 790 mm cord — about ten replacements at 1.80 AUD each
- Replacement procedure
- The new wick feeds up from the bottom fill screw and out through the top wick hole
- Included items
- Ships as the bare cotton cord only — the metal wick holder is built into the lighter
- Tip prep
- Wicks without a pre-wound wire need 2-3 cm of inner core stripped to slim the tip
- Tip length
- Leave roughly 3-4 mm of wick above the flame guard — that exposed length sets the flame
- Flint
- Check flint length before blaming the wick — a bare wheel grinds the ignition rivet
- Repacking
- The used tank wadding goes back in, interwoven with the new wick
- Wick length
- Exposed wick length sets the flame; start at 3-4 mm above the guard
- Flame tuning
- Exposed wick length sets the flame size — trim to about 3-4 mm above the guard
- Maintenance
- Trim a blackened tip with wire cutters or nail clippers; replace the wick only when feeding stops.
- Wick replacement
- Rewicking means pulling the tank wadding out and re-weaving it round the new uncut cord.
- Troubleshooting
- A weak, sputtering flame points to a carbonising wick; a spark-less wheel points to the flint.
- Wick fitting
- Look for light through the empty tank before fitting the new wick
- Wick trimming
- Trim the blackened or frayed tip before replacing the whole wick
- Wick function
- Capillary action in the braided cotton draws lighter fluid up to the flame
- Flame behavior
- Feed rate and exposed tip length together set the flame's quality and size
- Cord length
- One uncut 790 mm cotton cord, enough for about ten replacements
- Flame diagnostics
- Weak, sputtering or sooty flames each signal a wick feeding fuel out of balance.
- Fuel delivery
- The braided cotton draws fuel up from the tank by capillary action, with no priming needed.
- Longevity
- A blackened tip is trimmed, not replaced; a fresh wick goes in only once it stops feeding
- Repairability
- Wick, flint and wadding each replace on their own, so the lighter is serviced, not retired.
- Service access
- The wick threads up through the bottom fill screw, then is trimmed to 3-4 mm above the flame guard.
- Tools required
- A rewick needs a threading wire and tweezers; nail clippers handle the cut.
- Cut length
- Leave 3-4 mm of wick above the flame guard — that length sets the flame size.
- Wadding
- Rewicking means repacking the existing cotton wadding, not discarding it.

Replacing the wick in a Tsubota Pearl lighter
When the wick in a Tsubota Pearl Queue or Sigaretta needs replacing, this cotton wick threads through the wick hole so it protrudes from the top of the lighter again; a separate variant fits the Hard Edge. It suits the brand's design intent of replacing components rather than discarding the lighter, with step-by-step replacement tutorials from Tsubota Pearl to follow.[1,2]
