I'm into the soft flame, it's not my favorite, but it works well and lasts long enough for me to edc. Great review bud

I just bought one to take apart. I wonder if taking the flame adjustment parts off a bic lighter and add some kind of wind proof shield would be hard?

[Markonacrr]

I like it. It’s been 2 months and love it. May try the arc

I have seen a post on Reddit where someone actually drilled holes in the top of that insert and widend the chimney. Now it looks like a standard zippo insert. Have you ever considered doing it and do you think it would make the lighter windproof ? The post is called „Zippo Yellow Flame Insert Mod“

[justinpatrickhoffman]

I hope Zippo can make a clear window in the insert so I can see the amount of fuel!

How would we know the Flint needs to be replaced, can we see the Flint like the standard insert ? I use red flint on my standard Zippo inserts so it's easy to see if you need to replace it.

I really want to know what happened to the brass ones. I saw it on the site when it dropped but out of stock then poof gone. Never seen one in the wild.

[Dara-Baba]

After 8 months heavy use, the flame has now become really small. Less than half the original size.
I wish there was a way to store an extra flint in the lighter like we did in the cotton of the old ones.

Beautiful lighter though i love it. I’ve used and abused it for 8 months. Lets see if it works for a year.

How long does it last for occasional use?
I just got mine, filled with butane and after playing a bit for 1 day the gas is already gone on the second day.

Does the yellow flame from the butane insert shrink when the pressure inside drops, (due to usage)? And vice versa with increased pressure after filling? That's normally the case with those throw away butane lighters. That's one thing I don't like about butane lighters. Always adjusting the flame, and it also gets harder to ignite when it's almost empty.

It works great, not windproof at all; basically like a BIC and I love the big flame, but the tiny uncomfortable button is my only complaint. (Mine fits snug as a bug in a rug, they list what model of zippos the yellow flame is compatible with, and pretty sure its not meant for armor or vintage makes)

[austinabbott]

Best way to fix the loose fit is a piece of double sided tape on the pressure bar and no issues after that

[keithferguson]

Has anyone else had problems with the flame going out when you use it to light a pipe or anything upside down. Whenever the lighter is sideways or upside down the flame begins to flicker and then goes out. I've tried bleeding it repeatedly and only use premium butane but it still happens. At this point I'm not sure if it's a design flaw or the insert isn't functioning properly.

[JustFluxz]

my butane insert slides up from just opening and closing one of the standard cases. as someone who mostly fidgets with it and likes the idea of having it on me just in case I need it, I wish that the insert fit cases more snug, was lighter, had fuel window, and was windproof.

[joncollins]

Cool vid👍 Honestly I barely used mine since I got it. I burped it and filled up with zippo butane, but it still only lights every 6 or 7 strikes. I'm considering sending it back for replacement

[cemetery]

A windproof version would be good, but I use it indoors to smoke so I don't have that problem. What I would like is a flame adjust and fill window on it, also mine fits an Armor without falling out, but the single torch doesn't close in an Armor.

[MrZippoHead]

Thats a cool review. I'm going to get one and maybe down the track I'll get a 35 replica but, in the meantime, I want the yellow flame.

[coloradocolorado]

Nice video! I have just got it and I am unable to reduce the flame, do you know how to do it please? It's just too big.

[maxc]

My insert refuses to take butane, it just straight up rejects it…

Sometimes a tiny bit of butane gets in and the flame is small and weak and I have no idea what’s wrong with it…

I’ve tried Ronson and Zippo butane, but the lighter won’t fill

Any advice would be appreciated!

[freshkid]

What butane will give bigger flame. The zippo butane im using makes this flame look pretty small and boring
