white spirits works perfectly in my lighters weirdly enough, maybe a tiny bit harder to light but not really noticeably so

Different batches contain different mixes, white spirit is usually heavy naphtha (mostly heptane, octane and nonane) where lighter fluid (as well as panel wipe fluid, some fire starter fluids and coleman fuel) is light naphtha (with more pentane and hexane) if your find a brand with a higher proportion of light hydrocarbons, it may be volatile enough to ignite, I found it would not light in my zippo without an external flame and it was horribly smokey and malodorous!

I'm using a mixture of 50/50 paint thinner/zippo fluid, lights on every spark

I tried a can of mineral spirits from the hardware store and got exactly the same results as you. I see some other people use mineral spirits successfully. Must be different formulations of it.

good video however its is unaccurate since i am running a new lighter on white spirits sometimes first strike of flint starts it sometime i have to try twice or 3 times but it will still light no matter how long i leave it. i would recommend for you to pull your wick out and trim it so its fresh and you zippo may light with the white spirits without the need for it to be warm. Keep up the good videos anyhow

I would at least warm the lighter in my hands as methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) is very temperature sensitive and even in an alcohol stove is difficult to light in cold conditions.

Can this be used as a fuel on an alcohol stove for Camping? Like a trangia?

You should use naptha. It is more volatile and will produce more fumes for ignition.

That would be a waste of time, the can of naphtha in the same section of the store is pretty much the same stuff as in zippo fuel. However naphtha does have different grades and zippo fuel is narrowly selected for decently slow evaporation loss and ease of lighting, while paint thinner naphtha might be less consistent lighting or lose a lot to evaporation

99% isopropyl alcohol is my favorite fuel for zippos. Have to fill it every morning but I don’t care it’s a fun process for me. It burns incredibly clean. Alcohols are some of the cleanest burning fuels in existence. Much better for your smoking health
