Lighter Inserts

I have used this device for many years, and from the beginning, it didn't work as expected. I tried removing the limiter, but it didn't make much difference in how it performed. Recently, I decided to remove the limiter completely and adjust the flame height to see if I could get it working better. I started with the lowest setting that kept burning and gradually increased it until the fuel lasted longer. After some adjustments, it now lights reliably and stays lit even during frequent use, which is a relief. I also appreciate not having to worry about the old wick system drying out quickly anymore. Plus, I can easily find Zippo butane fuel locally, which is convenient for my everyday use.

Enabling the limiter settings made a noticeable difference with this product. I’ve been using it for more than four years, and it often struggled to operate properly. Once I experimented with the settings, I discovered that setting the minimum just enough for a steady light, then raising it slightly to conserve fuel, worked well. Now it lights consistently and stays on during repeated use without problems. Glad I no longer worry about the wick drying out and that I can find butane fuel easily nearby.

Wanted to share how much i like these new lighter inserts. they fit perfectly into my existing Zippo and work reliably every time I use them. I've tested them during trips and even in everyday tasks like lighting candles or starting a campfire. it's nice knowing i don’t have to carry a full lighter all the time, just swap these in when needed. definitely a handy upgrade that makes parts replacement super easy and quick.😊 feeling pleased with the quality and convenience so far. will keep using these for sure!

Do check out YouTube video on how to fix butane insert. It is working well, after adjusting the valve. **REVISED REVIEW** This is rather disappointing: it turned out to be one that only looks good. The Butane Insert performed great initially. As I began using it, I noticed the flame getting shorter. I maxed out the flame, but to no avail. now one month and 3 days later, it altogether stopped working. I pressed the igniter button next to my ear, and I do not hear any "Sssss..." from the nozzle. No gas is escaping, when the ignitor button is pressed, even when the piezo clicks. I appears that gas is not being released at all to be ignited. So, I find this item suffers from two defects: 1) Gas output control lets out gas only at the minimum strength; 2) Igniter button does not release gas. So I checked Zippo website for return instruction. They want my address, email, and telephone, and picture of the date code on the insert. Too much hassle, and not giving out my personal info for this POS. Zippo wants to mine my personal info, in return for fulfilling their warrantee. So I checked the return policy on the item page on Amazon, and it may be returned, IF UNUSED! By the way, the return window closed exactly one month after purchase. Well, sad to say it, but: GOOD LUCK with buying this piece, future customers! It's a gamble. It's not the same Zippo, at least not after 2005. That was last time I bought one. It remains a perfect Zippo specimen. ** ** ** ** ** I filled it for 5 sec initially, before I attempted to light. It was touch and go in the beginning. I filled it until the gas began to leak (to the full), and it lit up everytime. The trick is to depress the button lightly to let the gas out, then depress all the way down for the piezo to spark. Voila! twin lovely blue flame shot up. I will see about its longevity and gas retention after a period of enjoyable use. AS for $15 (almost) price? Well... I wish it was cheaper, but if this insert last long, I think I can accept it. But I bought it for the novelty value and coolness of it.

I bought this butane insert over 4 years ago and it never really worked that well. I tried the suggestions to remove the limiter, etc... and then the thought occurred me to recently to adjust it without the limiter. This worked. I was able to find the minimum point where it would stay barely ignited. Then turned it until it was using fuel too fast. Then backed it down to find a good sweet spot. Then I re-inserted the limiter based on this. Now it easily ignites and stays on, and repeat ignitions are 100% reliable. I no longer have to worry about the Zippo fuel drying with the old wick setup. I can also buy Zippo butane fuel relatively cheaply at my local store. If yours doesn't ignite properly, stay lit, or uses fuel too quickly - I suggest playing with the adjustments with or without the limiter to get it to work.

These inserts fit my Zippo perfectly and work just like I hoped. The dual flames get really hot and look super cool, which is great for lighting cigars, and the burn is consistent every time. They’re windproof and feel really solid, high quality overall. Refilling is simple too, so I don’t have to worry about running out quickly. Seems to last longer than traditional lighter fluid. No leaks and doesn't dry out. This will save you money on fuel in the long run. Definitely a reliable upgrade for any Zippo owner.

What’s written on the side says it all. Made in China. Item was defective right out of the box. The igniter would strike but no flame, yes I filled it. I had to disassemble the base of the lighter and adjust the flow screw. Between that and the placement of the arc wire I finally got it to produce a flame. For $17 I guess it’s ok hence the 3 star rating. I bought this for the timeless look of the Zippo to light cigars, time will tell if I should have spent my money elsewhere.

Perfect fit. The only issue can't see how much fluid is in it.

Güzel duruyor ancak elimdeki zippo boş kutularının içinde biraz küçük kaldı bendeki şeylerde sorun olabilir şuan için çalışıyor ve güzel duruyor.

Come si legge negli altri commenti i punti di forza non sono sicuramente la durata della fiamma dato che comunque la quantità di gas è limitata (è uno zippo non un cannello a gas). La durata va in funzione anche di come è stata regolata la fiamma: troppo gas infatti rischiate anche che la fiamma non si spenga subito; poco gas non si accenderà al primo colpo e la fiamma borbotta fastidiosamente. Personalmente l'ho preso in quanto fumatore di sigari quindi lo uso di rado. L'idea è magnifica perché mi permette di utilizzare zippo che non utilizzavo da tempo. Chi fuma spesso ovviamente consuma molto più in fretta il gas al suo interno con la noia di dover ricaricare più spesso. Ultima cosa: ho trovato abbastanza difficile inserirlo e rimuoverlo dalla sede degli zippo. Spero che con il tempo si consumi un po' e ne renda più semplice lo smontaggio e il rimontaggio

安全性が良くて使いやすいけどガスを最大にしてもそんなに日がでかくなるわけではない

Good product 👍

Very responsive and fit all zippo housing I have
