Hey! I'm not really sure what "wickr" is. I'm assuming a social media platform? Aside from the nexus and my other buddy's psychedelic inspired chat, I don't really do the social media.
But! I'm glad to help, here.
Yes, wash=defat in that method. That's the one that I once used.... 5 years ago? Either way, the goods are not in the naphtha. The naphtha is there to remove "junk" - oils, fats, unwanted alks - that sort of thing.
The part about repeating that step x amount of times is dependent on which other solvent you intend to use for the LSA. So, yeah - for that step, the Zippo should be fine.
You're still going to need acetone or ethanol for the entire procedure.
Take Care!

Sometimes it's good for a change. Other times it isn't.
