Zippo Butane Inserts

These butane lighter inserts from Zippo offer a way to carry one of the most iconic lighters ever produced, without having to contend with fluid loss when you really need it.

Got a dual torch a few months back and love it. Watching this video I went and bought myself a solid brass zippo. The problem is I’m sensing another collection addiction coming on.

I debated these inserts - where I live in Asia, it is quite a drive to get the butane. One of the reasons I carry and use a zippo is because almost anything flammable can be used.

I was yelling at the screen, "you're going the wrong way"... I've carried a Thunderbird butane insert in my Zippo case for about 5 years, works great. I definitely will check out the Zippo double flame.

I had a hard time setting up my dual flame lighter. Another video had the answer that fixed mine (it requires some disassembly to remove the butane limiter). Zippo hasn’t really figured out this technology yet.

I have only ever been let down by zippo lighters because of fuel loss. It’s why I carry a bic aswell as a zippo. Excellent review as always and helping me sort my “to myself” Christmas list. Cheers Ben.

I have the single flame version insert, bought it because I like the Zippo as an EDC lighter and I'm not a smoker so having to refill the classic insert weekly wasn't sustainable and was a waste. Zippo should modernize the Zippo and just come out with a soft flame sealed fuel container insert and have that be the standard insert while offering the classic and torch insert as options.

Its funny watching all these videos where the user keeps putting the insert back in the case to test it like it needs to be grounded or something. It works without the case :D

Got a dual torch and I can confirm the hinge is much tighter and snappier, which makes sense cuz you don't have the flint spring throwing it off up or down, it goes straight to the bottom so the tolerances may be tighter

You were, turning it down, I was sitting here shouting lol

[EliR]

Thank You!! I was getting really upset with my insert but your fix did the trick. THANK YOU!!

I like the single because it lasts longer and they do have one that does soft flame and torch they got replacement stuff to help the originals last longer

these flames burn hot, but they go out at a little bit of wind, too. Also sad they don't have one with the flint + wheel, since obviously that's where a lot of the zippo charm comes from

[DoveSharma]

What if you avoid inserting them before adjusting every time

[ucitymetalhead]

I want to get one of those pyrovault cases they look interesting.

[chris-gjcv]

thanks for the awesome review👍
I’m about to buying one of those zippo torches.

[Mike-kcrl]

Zippo now has a soft flame butane refill that has the flint wheel. It's all good, but it's not windproof otherwise it's great!

[harrykalogeras-ynrf]

Is there an insert for the slim model?

[olexandrs]

u need to adjust flame heigh settings depended on amount fuel in tank to be able to light it.
more fuel — lower flame settings.
less fuel left — higher flame settings.
there is brass limiter which u need to take off to if u want light zippo when tank is near to empty.

Bud, always hold your butane and lighter perpendicular ie: straight up & down. Filling at an angle will occasionally get you a shot of propelant and reduces the amount of butane in your lighter will hold. Plus, always drain the air in the lighter. Doing that maximizes your capacity of butane your lighter will hold. Lots of videos on YouTube on how to drain the air. Easy, peasy.

Always use a bigger Flame than Nesisary to light up a Smoke.
