Lighter technology has changed. Flints and lighter fluid aren't used nearly so much any more, since disposable butane lighters don't require either one. You can buy a butane lighter for less than the cost of either a pack of flints or a can of lighter fluid. The demand is way down, so stores don't carry them any more. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Try a Drug store like CVS or Walgreen's they will usually have flints. If you cant find them there try on line or break an old Bic or Scripto open they also have flints in them although that could be dangerous if you do it wrong what you need to do is pry off the wheel carefully with needle nosed pliers the flint is under the wheel on the disposables

Unbelievable. With all the people using lighter in the U.S., and you say stores can't get them from their suppliers?
