Zippo Lighter Inserts

I have used this device for many years, and from the beginning, it didn't work as expected. I tried removing the limiter, but it didn't make much difference in how it performed. Recently, I decided to remove the limiter completely and adjust the flame height to see if I could get it working better. I started with the lowest setting that kept burning and gradually increased it until the fuel lasted longer. After some adjustments, it now lights reliably and stays lit even during frequent use, which is a relief. I also appreciate not having to worry about the old wick system drying out quickly anymore. Plus, I can easily find Zippo butane fuel locally, which is convenient for my everyday use.

Enabling the limiter settings made a noticeable difference with this product. I’ve been using it for more than four years, and it often struggled to operate properly. Once I experimented with the settings, I discovered that setting the minimum just enough for a steady light, then raising it slightly to conserve fuel, worked well. Now it lights consistently and stays on during repeated use without problems. Glad I no longer worry about the wick drying out and that I can find butane fuel easily nearby.

This is a great lighter (insert) inside ... but any breeze causes it to go out. This has nothing to do with it's quality but I wish I'd bought the single flame version to light my pipe! Edit: I was unhappy when I got this. For some unknown reason, it now works fine. It's still affected by light wind, but not like before. I sit outside my home to smoke my pipe, so wind is a concern. I gave it all the stars I left off before. One thing that IS a small detail, is that in daylight it's almost impossible to see the flam, but that's because of the flame color, not an issue about the lighter! 5 stars, now. Zippo makes good stuff. (I have 5 different ones, including the butane insert, 3 standard types, and a Zippo pipe lighter insert I bought which is a great piece of equipment & lights in a pretty breezy situation.

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.

I bought this butane insert over 4 years ago and it never really worked that well. I tried the suggestions to remove the limiter, etc... and then the thought occurred me to recently to adjust it without the limiter. This worked. I was able to find the minimum point where it would stay barely ignited. Then turned it until it was using fuel too fast. Then backed it down to find a good sweet spot. Then I re-inserted the limiter based on this. Now it easily ignites and stays on, and repeat ignitions are 100% reliable. I no longer have to worry about the Zippo fuel drying with the old wick setup. I can also buy Zippo butane fuel relatively cheaply at my local store. If yours doesn't ignite properly, stay lit, or uses fuel too quickly - I suggest playing with the adjustments with or without the limiter to get it to work.

Kind of happy with this lighter insert. It fits perfectly in my Zippo and works well when I need a quick light during camping trips. I didn't expect it to be so reliable. It keeps a good flame even in wind, which is super handy. Also, it’s pretty easy to refill and clean. 🏕️ I’ve used it a few times at the cabin, and it’s been pretty consistent. Definitely a nice addition to my outdoor gear.

I can't fault it for function, I can only say that the double flame is wasteful and unnecessary. As a heavy smoker a fill up will last about 1-1.5 days, while I can go 3-4 days with the single jet version...I have multiples of both, and the single-jet model I occasionally buy as a gift for friends that use Zippo lighters. I did notice several mentions of the limiter, I had no issues with flame height or sustainability, merely the rate of reservoir depletion...I'll still give it 5-stars for it's perfect function, but it doesn't travel with me, the single-jet model does.

Seems like these lighter inserts work well for everyday use, especially when you're out camping or just need a quick light at home. I like how easy they are to swap into my existing Zippo. However, they don't last very long before needing a refill, which can be a bit inconvenient if you're in a hurry. Still, they’re a handy backup and save me some money since I can replace just the insert instead of the whole lighter. Overall, a decent purchase for quick lighting needs but could improve on durability.

Bildiginiz zippo kalitesi. Gonul rahatligiyla alin derim. Not: Bazi arkadaslar bozuk geldi demis, elime ilk ulastiginda calismadi, gaz yokmus icinde. Clipper gaz doldurdum, sorunsuz calisiyor. Bilginize.

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

安全性が良くて使いやすいけどガスを最大にしてもそんなに日がでかくなるわけではない

bessere Qualität gibt es nicht!

Great, a brilliant addition for my zippo
