High Polish Blue Butane Lighter Insert - Double Torch

Great insert with a solid useable flame. Seems to be durable and of high quality. Fitment is perfect in a standard Zippo case. Only downside is that it seems to have a relatively low butane capacity, so it doesn't last too long. Works great though!

Great quality,works perfectly,lasts quite awhile and doesn’t need refueling that often.Takes like 15 seconds to refuel and hasn’t broken in the past year.The design is great,doesn’t leak and produces a perfect flame.

The main issue I had previously with Zippos were that there is a taste from the traditional oil that can alter inhalation purity. These refillable butane inserts eliminate the need to worry. Though they do not last as long as a Bic disposable lighter they have a larger flame and can easily be refilled. Though the larger flame may not be as convenient for cigarettes, it can be quite useful for pipes.

It works good but the flame is pretty big and it doesn't always light on the first try. I also think the button is a bit small. I would prefer if it worked liked the original and the gas came on when it's opened. The flame size is not adjustable.

This butane insert has been a great upgrade for my Zippo. It dropped right into the case with no fitment issues and immediately feels more convenient than the traditional lighter fluid insert. The flame lights consistently enough and burns clean without the fuel smell or evaporation you get with standard Zippo fluid. Refilling with butane is quick and easy, and a full fill lasts longer than I expected with regular use. Overall build quality feels solid and in line with what you’d expect from the Zippo name. One minor downside: the button you hold to keep the flame going is a bit small. It’s not a dealbreaker, I have larger hands it just took a little getting used to. Aside from that, this is a solid option for anyone who loves the classic Zippo look but doesn’t want to refill lighter fluid every single week.

At first it was working great. A month later it's gone on the "piece of htsi lighter pile". Lemme explain why. So zippo has been making lighters since 1932 bur they somehow didn't think to make the bottom to release gas as large and high up as possible to decrease the amount of time your thumb takes from striking the flint to releasing gas resulting in misfires. This problem got worse over a month of daily usage to a point where I got what I can only describe as "zippo thumb" and my entire thumb was hurting all bloody day. Basically what's happened is for some reason the button to release the gas went from tolerable and striking every time to now desperately flicking the thing 7-igiveup times to get any fire and requires a lot of strength on a tiny, greasy slippery nub that desperately wants to go back into resting position screw you and your smoke break. I expected WAY more from zippo. This isn't hard to get right it's clear as day that they could have made the gas release button stick out more for more leverage and raised it up higher so your hitting the gas before the spark is gone and hey maybe not make the gas release button from slick bloody chrome!!! It's profoundly stupid. Why it doesn't have a grippy finish I have no idea it needs some skateboard tape or something. People that are giving this a good review need to use it a couple times a day for a month and it starts to seize up and hurt your thumbs like mario party 64 but way worse it's quite painful. Zippo needs to iterate on this, they strike me as quite the lazy company. The stiffness of the button needs work but would be hugely mitigated by an overall larger gas release button. You can see how little there is to grab on to and if you have large hands forget it. Sure it doesn't leak but If I feel like I just slammed my thumb in a car door all day because of this pos we have traded one product breaking issue for another (vs thunderbird et al). They could hire me and I could solve this before lunch time and so could you, how hard is it to make the button bigger?! Just go and buy the cheapest zippo MPL mini(multi purpose lighter) you can find, not the large one it hurts your thumb too ffs. The mini is perfect though, had I know it existed when I bought this thing I wouldnt have bought this thing. There are no good options for making your zippo into a butane lighter that last more than a month if you actually plan to use it. MPL mini by zippo, it's not a zippo-zippo but it's a reliable, refillable, kinda big but not too big soft flame butane lighter by zippo. The one I got was half the price of this dumb piece of junk waste of 13 bucks and it's all metal and looks pretty nice. Get the graphite colored one the others are all kind of ugly colors imo. As for this insert, to quote t "The Critic" It STINKS!

Dude when these guys design something they knock it out of the park. I buy the Zippo I want, and then I put one of these bad boys in it, and the Zippo is made in the USA, and the butane insert is made in China at the factory in China. So I am still carrying and holding a US lighter lol I do what i can they don’t make these here and they are aweosome. So well designed and engineered and honestly manufactured. The finish on these is impeccable and surprisingly durable. Dang do these things work good as intended I am a pyro and an outdoors type primitive camper and primitive woodsman history enthusiast, I use propane heaters and the like, I burn wood, I burn various fire pits, charcoal grills, I smoke, I like to start random little fires whenever there is an excuse anywhere that it’s appropriate, and I have always loved lighters. I have spent so many hours debating the relative merits of Bic vs Cricket vs Clipper vs etc etc., debating various types of fuels/combustion methods including DISSIM, torch/jet, plasma arc, petroleum/lighter fluid (classic zippo), tsubota pearl, various different ignition sources such as piezo or steel and ferrocerium (“flint”), combustion catalytic conversion hand warmers with built in lighters etc etc. These are really good lighters. Zippos are already so solid and proven and they kicked it out of the park with the butane inserts imo. Doggone Zippo still killing it after all these years. Wish i had my original USS Decatur - DDG 73 - Zippo that I bought in the ship’s store onboard when I was a young recruit in the 1990s and I was serving on the Decatur when she was commissioned. I bought it before she was commissioned, after she was christened but not commissioned yet and she was still going through Bravo trials in Bath Maine before sailing to Portland Oregon for the christening ceremony. That lighter was beautiful and I am sad to this day the box was lost in a move that had this lighter in it. Grrr/uggghhhhh. Oh well. That’s life!

用途は葉巻とパイプへの着火である。 良い点 ・着火性、火の安定性が非常に良い。 ・火は小さくなるものの、1月の寒い屋外でも十分使用に耐える。 ・本体の蓋の開閉に何ら影響を及ぼさない。音もしっかり鳴る。 気になる点 ・ジャックダニエルの黒マット塗装のケースを使用しているが、若干緩く、使用に影響する程ではないが、使用しているうちに浮き上がってしまう。真鍮無地のアーマーZIPPOや、別のノーマルZIPPOに入れてみるとぴったりだったので、ケース側の個体差の問題だと思われる。本品側面にマスキングテープを貼って調整すれば解決した。 ・ガスライターによくある火力調節機能がない。屋内では4～5cmの火が出るため、個人的には火力過剰である。とはいえ、この大きい火力設定のおかげで冬の屋外でも使用できることを考えれば、妥協はできると思う。 悪い点 ・ガスを出すボタンが小さい上に傾斜がついているので、たまに滑ってボタンを押し損ねる。せっかくの着火性の良さが生かされない。 総じて、いくつかの欠点はあるものの、以前使用していたZIPPO用他社製（ガスタンク部が透明でダブルフレームターボ式の）インサイドユニットとは使用感が雲泥の差である。 減少し続けるソフトフレーム式のガスライターをお探しの諸兄姉には、強くおすすめの商品である。

Works well but buy a new flint

Muy buena flama, excelentes materiales, un color diferente y agradable.

Ótimo.

Ive never use a zippo insert before so this is a first for me...its not so wind proff as the gas one but the butane last long so its a win win for me...aver all its in excellent condition and the seller is fast on delivery.
