Butane Single Flame Insert - Windproof Lighter - Single Flame On Demand - Blue Flame - Refillable - For Original Cases - Gift Box - Metal - Made in USA

This is a fantastic upgrade for what was my traditional zippo lighter. This butane insert fits into any standard zippo case, and fits perfectly as you'd expect. It is well made and looks fantastically shiny. Filling the insert is super easy, and is low maintenance. I love my classic zippo, but it is quite a high maintenance lighter with the original lighter fluid insert - having to replace flint, cotton, and constantly refill was a hassle. The butane lighter only needs occasional top ups of butane. Butane also keeps a lot better than lighter fluid (in a zippo). It won't evaporate or dry out, and has been far more reliable. The butane lighter insert also provides a stronger, hotter, and more windproof flame. Whilst it's not as aesthetical or classic as the original insert, its a far more practical upgrade in my opinion.

At the price. Half it usually costs. It’s a great buy. Fit perfectly in even the oldest zippos I have and no need for constant refills and the smell plus much safer in my opinion. Lights first time, every time and even better windproof than the regular inserts. Like a mini blow torch. Very durable construction and doesn’t waste on fuel as you can just the flame size and lasts much longer than the original inserts.

Out of the box these don't work at all really. (Your lucky if it ever lights and it never stays lit) You need to remove the 2 screws on the bottom, remove the plate and o ring around the adjuster then get a knife and lift the stopper on the adjuster while turning it slightly past where it should go and leave it there. Reasemble and it will work perfectly. This isn't as complicated as it sounds and takes around a minute. There will probably be videos on YouTube if you need help. Don't let this out you off because there great once it's done and it only needs doing once. These also fit in STAR lighter cases. I have mine in one my daughter had engraved for me.

I had an issue with it (propane) that was my fault and have updated the review. The issue below is what happened when I filled it with gas that wasn’t butane but a butane/propane mix: Unreliable ignition. I didn’t use it much. Worked fine on first fill. Now filled again a couple of times and it’s sparking and gas sounds like it’s coming out but no burn. Tried turning it up and down in case the gas flow is too strong for the spark to ignite but hmm a bit useless without the flame.

I had high hopes for this. The quality feels high - its heavy and solid. It doesn't light reliably. I've tried everything - removed the stock adjuster limiter to turn it up, different gas and different fill levels, warming etc. - sometimes it will light several times in a row then not at all for a long while. Even when it is lit a tiny breeze will blow it out - it isn't wind proof at all. I know Zippo make these in China and unfortunately they just don't work.

Excellent flame, and while the flame lacks the romanticism of the classic petrol fuel and with the noise would not look as good in those classic movies it is at least as functionl. Also it has the classic click. I like it

These are brilliant! I had an old favourite Zippo that I didn't want to throw, but the fit on the lid wasn't good, so the lighter fluid ran out very quickly, due to evaporation. Chuck one of these bad-boys in there and problem solved! Favourite old zippo, works for ages...only downside is you don't get that infamous Zippo stink! I like these so much I bought a second one to fix another Zippo...

A superb upgrade to the Zippo range , easy to use and fill without the customary petrol smell, very efficient and clean .
