Zippo 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!

This fits perfectly into my old, zippo lighter, feel like it’s getting new life. My thumb finger doesn’t get scratched up anymore as this one you just push down and it clicks and yayy fire 🔥. I would say it’s insanely cheap for bringing my zippo back to life. I think it’s about the same weight as the new and vintage inserts. It looks like my old zippo lighter Yayy. Seems to work good too. Here is a picture of her.

It really works. Better than any other natural flame pipe lighter I've tried. The flame is big. Tilt the lighter, and the flame goes up through the top big hole. Lower it down to the pipe and draw air, then the big flame reverses direction and lights the tobacco. No more worries about needing a blue-flame torch lighter. This thing solved the problem.

Sometimes doesn't light, fits like a glove Sounds and functions like the original in terms of the sound and clickyness My only gripe is that you need to turn the butane screw up to get it to start working

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.

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!

I’ve used four zippo name-brand inserts so far, and this one has settled my search for the best. No leaks like the conventional insert, no crazy fuel consumption like the jet butanes. No temperature woes or creative problem solving (I don’t rip darts) that came with the arc insert. Looks good, performs like every bic lighter has for decades, meaning it just works over and over for longer than you’d expect. If you’re familiar with a standard bic, you know what you’re getting here - flint wheel and a butane release button. Works good, is consistent, that’s all you need.

This butane insert is very reliable when filled and fixes a major problem with butane lighters - invariably, the piezoelectric ignition ends up going out. Sometimes after a few months, sometimes after a few years, but every time the lighter ends up becoming completely useless once the ignition gives out. These zippo inserts you can just replace the flint every now and then depending on how much you use it and it’ll light up as good as new. That’s amazing. However - there’s no fuel window, and that’s a problem on butane lighters, since sometimes you’ll try to fill one with a transparent tank and you can see that none of the liquid is going in because the butane refilling process can be finicky. You’re flying blind without a fuel window or transparent fuel reservoir. You have no idea whether it was actually filled or not. And then you take your unbeknownst empty lighter for a night out and end up having to use matches or carrying a backup lighter instead. That’s really dumb. Also - you can’t adjust the flame height like you can on basically every other butane lighter, including zippo’s other butane inserts. That’s extra ultra super dumb dumb. They need to make a version of this with adjustable flame height and a fuel window or transparent fuel tank and then that insert will be perfect. Not this one though.

丸く開いてることから相乗効果としてZIPPOの蓋を開けた時の音が好みの音になりました♪

muito bom, faz uma chama muito boa, otimo pois nao apaga com o vento

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

Quasi tout est dans le titre et pas de risque de brûler le bord de la pipe avec une flamme horizontale. Je remplace le feutre du fond par un obturateur (le modèle métallique avec joints en caoutchouc), ce qui réduit très significativement l’évaporation de l’essence. Autre option: un insert au gaz pour briquets.
