Double Torch Butane Insert

These Zippo lighter inserts fit standard Zippo casings seamlessly and deliver consistent, dependable ignition every time. The build quality feels solid, and they are simple to refill for long-lasting everyday use. This is such a thoughtful gift choice for many occasions: birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, weddings, graduations, and office events. I bought several as groomsmen gifts, and everyone loved them. They are compact, easy to carry, and keep the classic satisfying Zippo click. Whether for personal collection, casual daily use, or handing out as event favors, these inserts hold up nicely. They add new life to old Zippo shells too. Great value, and I will purchase more for future gift-giving needs.

Long time zippo fan and collector- I purchased this to smoke cigars because I already had cases and I wanted a decent lighter that wasn’t 50-100 dollars. And who doesn’t love a zippo “clink”. A few things to note: 1. Buy REALLY good butane. Xikar HP and/or high altitude fuel. 2. If you want this lighter to stay reliable you need to remove the flame adjustment limiter so you can fully unscrew the adjustment knob to “purge” any air pockets as needed. (Be careful and return it to minimum setting when you reassemble). I ran into issues after the first 5-6fills where it wouldn’t light or stay lit and simply depressing the fill valve to purge didn’t help. Upon unscrewing the fuel adjustment a big “poof” came out and now she’s good to go. 3. Know that the form factor of a zippo means a low fuel capacity. For me between toasting, lighting and touch ups I get about 3-4 cigars before I have to refill it. For a daily carry or home lighter it’s absolutely fine. I might consider the single flame one to see if the fuel lasts longer with 1 flame vs 2.

All throughout the 1990s, I had hundreds of Zippo lighters. I had Zippos from all around the world. I would buy every single ship lighter from my ship store when they were in stock and trade them with sailors from other Navies. I would trade them with sailors from other U.S. Navy ships. I would trade them with others from different military branches. Sadly, they were all stolen. Now, 30 years later, I decided to pick up a few Zippo lighters, and I happened to see this butane conversion insert. My only dislike is that this is a Chinese made authorized Zippo insert and not a U.S. made insert. So far, it takes butane easily, it lights easily, it fits well, and the lighter it is in, as a whole, looks like it was made this way. The flame adjustment screw works well even though the slot doesn't match the plus or minus exactly well. It was easy to set the flame where I wanted it. Now, I actually like the old flint strike naptha/kerosene Zippos better, but my daughters don't. We light candles and incense in our house daily, and they are actually afraid to light a flint lighter because they feel they will drop it and not be able to put it out, unlike this push button ignition and release shut off. While no one smokes in our family, a Zippo lighter is a good thing to carry with you everywhere. It's like a pocket knife. Two tools you should always have on hand. Every responsible person may need to cut some kindling with a pocket knife and a lighter to start the fire. A sustainable lighter is always better than matches. Who knows when you will need to light a candle or lamp in a storm? Also, this is a two jet lighter. One small jet works great for smaller lighters or bigger jet for torches, but this insert with two jets just fits better. Three or more would have just been overkill and a waste of fuel. The igniter is crisp and not spongy nor light. It sits just right in the middle. I recently purchased a generic Chinese 4 jet lighter that was large, used too much fuel, the flames were just not substantial, and the push button igniter felt like it would give out at any moment. It was also very hard to fill and wasted fuel while filling. I returned it without hesitation. Zippo lighters, no matter the model are better made. They are workhorses. They won't let you down. They will get borrowed and not returned or stolen long before they wear out. Wish I had picked up a couple of these sooner instead of buying cheap plastic or generic lighters.

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.

This insert snaps into his old shell tight and clean. No wiggle. He flips it open, taps the button, flame shows up fast. We tried it during a Sunday family BBQ when the wind kicked up in the yard. His buddies were shielding their matches and he just clicked this and lit the charcoal like nothing. That moment alone made me glad I bought it. Charging is simple enough for him. I run a cable to it next to his phone, we leave both charging overnight, and he is good for several days at work. No more hunting for fluid or tossing dried-up Bic lighters in my truck. For anyone with a sentimental Zippo sitting in a drawer, this kind of insert actually puts it back to work instead of just looking pretty.

I bought this insert for an old zippo lighter I recently came across in the bottom of my sock drawer. It's engraved with my name, but I retired it because the old zippo's constantly needed fuel, flint replacement and they had a habit of leaking lighter fluid in your pocket. Of course that would burn your skin. This insert solves. all those problems and I must say it's got quite a flame on it. Definitely a great upgrade for a sentimental old lighter. It also fits perfect.

I grabbed this Zippo lighter insert because my dad still loves his old brass case, but hates refilling with fluid. i wanted something low-maintenance for his desk at work. This insert slides right into his original Zippo shell and fits snug, no rattling at all. He just flips it open, hits the button, and it lights every time. We tested it during a family BBQ and it handled a breezy backyard without going out, which made me really glad i picked this one 😊. Charging is easy too. I plug it in next to my phone overnight and it’s ready for days. Nice little upgrade that keeps the sentimental lighter actually usable. 🔥

I was glad there was an option to upgrade the beat up traditional zippo naphtha insert in the zippo I've been carrying for a couple of decades now. Butane lighters are obviously hotter and easier to use to ignite combustibles, less of a mess to refill, and don't impart a taste to whatever you might be inhaling. That said, the only way I can get this butane insert to reliably light and stay lit is to turn the flame up as far as it will go using the little screw in the bottom of the lighter. When I first got this thing it was set to about 2/3 or 3/4 of fully opened, and it would only light about every tenth click, and even then it would usually only stay on for a couple of seconds. Most clicks just produced a spit of flame that quickly went out. I was almost ready to return it, but I figured I might as well mess with it a little before sending it back; that was when I realized the flame could be turned up a little higher with a small flathead screwdriver. Now that I've done so, the lighter lights almost every time and stays burning as long as the button is depressed--or until the butane runs out, which, unfortunately, doesn't take too long with the flame up at maximum. There's no reason for a lighter flame to be that large, especially because I have the dual burner model, but it's the only way to make the thing run properly. All and all, it was worth the <$20 to have a zippo with a butane system in my beloved old case, and butane refills are cheap enough, but I certainly wouldn't want to trust this lighter to last longer than a night at the bar. If you're out in the bush where your comfort and potentially your safety are contingent upon having a reliable flame, bring something else along. Zippo has been around for decades, maybe future versions of their butane inserts will be more reliable. Or maybe they can be the first company to design a plasma lighter that doesn't suck.

Insero perfecto para butano y encender puros. Rinde para encender un par de puros nada más.

Works great for cigars. Carry 100L of butane with you to the smoke-lounge though.

It’s a really good lighter but the only thing is it runs out of gas really fast, I am a huge fan of zippo

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

Very responsive and fit all zippo housing I have
