Lighter Inserts

Works great for zippo! Never once had an issue with it. Just make sure to purge it first before filling up with butane and Everytime after or else it may not fire or stay lit.

Long time zippo fan and collector- I purchased this to smoke cigars because I already had cases and I wanted a decent lighter that wasn’t 50-100 dollars. And who doesn’t love a zippo “clink”. A few things to note: 1. Buy REALLY good butane. Xikar HP and/or high altitude fuel. 2. If you want this lighter to stay reliable you need to remove the flame adjustment limiter so you can fully unscrew the adjustment knob to “purge” any air pockets as needed. (Be careful and return it to minimum setting when you reassemble). I ran into issues after the first 5-6fills where it wouldn’t light or stay lit and simply depressing the fill valve to purge didn’t help. Upon unscrewing the fuel adjustment a big “poof” came out and now she’s good to go. 3. Know that the form factor of a zippo means a low fuel capacity. For me between toasting, lighting and touch ups I get about 3-4 cigars before I have to refill it. For a daily carry or home lighter it’s absolutely fine. I might consider the single flame one to see if the fuel lasts longer with 1 flame vs 2.

These Zippo lighter inserts fit standard Zippo casings seamlessly and deliver consistent, dependable ignition every time. The build quality feels solid, and they are simple to refill for long-lasting everyday use. This is such a thoughtful gift choice for many occasions: birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, weddings, graduations, and office events. I bought several as groomsmen gifts, and everyone loved them. They are compact, easy to carry, and keep the classic satisfying Zippo click. Whether for personal collection, casual daily use, or handing out as event favors, these inserts hold up nicely. They add new life to old Zippo shells too. Great value, and I will purchase more for future gift-giving needs.

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.

All throughout the 1990s, I had hundreds of Zippo lighters. I had Zippos from all around the world. I would buy every single ship lighter from my ship store when they were in stock and trade them with sailors from other Navies. I would trade them with sailors from other U.S. Navy ships. I would trade them with others from different military branches. Sadly, they were all stolen. Now, 30 years later, I decided to pick up a few Zippo lighters, and I happened to see this butane conversion insert. My only dislike is that this is a Chinese made authorized Zippo insert and not a U.S. made insert. So far, it takes butane easily, it lights easily, it fits well, and the lighter it is in, as a whole, looks like it was made this way. The flame adjustment screw works well even though the slot doesn't match the plus or minus exactly well. It was easy to set the flame where I wanted it. Now, I actually like the old flint strike naptha/kerosene Zippos better, but my daughters don't. We light candles and incense in our house daily, and they are actually afraid to light a flint lighter because they feel they will drop it and not be able to put it out, unlike this push button ignition and release shut off. While no one smokes in our family, a Zippo lighter is a good thing to carry with you everywhere. It's like a pocket knife. Two tools you should always have on hand. Every responsible person may need to cut some kindling with a pocket knife and a lighter to start the fire. A sustainable lighter is always better than matches. Who knows when you will need to light a candle or lamp in a storm? Also, this is a two jet lighter. One small jet works great for smaller lighters or bigger jet for torches, but this insert with two jets just fits better. Three or more would have just been overkill and a waste of fuel. The igniter is crisp and not spongy nor light. It sits just right in the middle. I recently purchased a generic Chinese 4 jet lighter that was large, used too much fuel, the flames were just not substantial, and the push button igniter felt like it would give out at any moment. It was also very hard to fill and wasted fuel while filling. I returned it without hesitation. Zippo lighters, no matter the model are better made. They are workhorses. They won't let you down. They will get borrowed and not returned or stolen long before they wear out. Wish I had picked up a couple of these sooner instead of buying cheap plastic or generic lighters.

I picked up this Zippo lighter insert to dress up a few plain cases i use in my home studio and to have a small stash of guy gifts ready for birthdays and random office events. The insert fits my old brass Zippo well and the flame is steady, which is nice when i’m heating wax sticks for sealing envelopes on client packaging. It feels sturdy and lights up quick. The part that bugs me a bit is the fuel smell hangs around more than i’d like on my desk gear. For a gift it looks good in the box, but I wish the branding was a little more minimal so it felt less like a promo item.

This insert snaps into his old shell tight and clean. No wiggle. He flips it open, taps the button, flame shows up fast. We tried it during a Sunday family BBQ when the wind kicked up in the yard. His buddies were shielding their matches and he just clicked this and lit the charcoal like nothing. That moment alone made me glad I bought it. Charging is simple enough for him. I run a cable to it next to his phone, we leave both charging overnight, and he is good for several days at work. No more hunting for fluid or tossing dried-up Bic lighters in my truck. For anyone with a sentimental Zippo sitting in a drawer, this kind of insert actually puts it back to work instead of just looking pretty.

Edit: Despite my initial review, I must say that I have been more successful with this insert after I purged and refilled it. So, I am giving it more stars. Zippo lighters... An iconic piece of Americana... True grit...The right stuff... Real, read, alpha men running on testosterone fuel built America. The radical feminists who have been running a decades war on masculinity want beta male wimps who use matches lol. Good luck. So, Zippo like many other US companies chose to have their products made in China to increase profits and supposedly keep prices competitive. They say they maintain Zippo's quality and standards. Sorry, that is just not true. Like others have said, you may have to adjust the piezo electric igniter lead to obtain more consistency. If you try and turn the gas valve down to get a smaller flame and conserve butane, you may not get a consistent light everytime. It might not even light at all. I got this for a custom Zippo lighter which has a picture of my famous parrot, Bogie B. Bogarte whose bio can be found on her FB page. The quality of the lighter itself leaves something to be desired. The hinge is loose for one thing. I would rather pay more for a product made in the US if it it is of higher quality. A few tips. It is helpful to partially depress the lighter to allow gas to start flowing. I get near 100 percent first time ignition this way. To purge the lighter I found a company online that makes a real, inexpensive device for purging the lighter. I just found out that you can buy it right here on Amazon. I highly recommend it! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6D2MCD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_9GFJN0V7K1PFNA7QC7VZ Please note: Cigarettes may cause cancer and kill you or at the least cause COPD. Smoking marijuana may lead to amotivational syndrome and you will never get squat done! So, what can I use my lighter for? Well, for one thing, when your mother tells you not to play with matches you can tell her you don't! Despite the shortcomings, you better get this while you can, before the new administration makes them illegal.

Insero perfecto para butano y encender puros. Rinde para encender un par de puros nada más.

It’s a really good lighter but the only thing is it runs out of gas really fast, I am a huge fan of zippo

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

Very responsive and fit all zippo housing I have

Received swift and well packed. Product quality not too shabby, fit well, good buy
