Double torch butane

Colour me impressed I was dubious about this insert bit its fabulous. Fits your zippo case perfectly snug. Good range of flame settings and works perfectly in windy conditions. I wanted a lighter for campfires and love the fact its given my favourite zippo case a new lease of life. Tremendous insert I highly recommend for any zippo enthusiast ✌️

At the price. Half it usually costs. It’s a great buy. Fit perfectly in even the oldest zippos I have and no need for constant refills and the smell plus much safer in my opinion. Lights first time, every time and even better windproof than the regular inserts. Like a mini blow torch. Very durable construction and doesn’t waste on fuel as you can just the flame size and lasts much longer than the original inserts.

This is a fantastic upgrade for what was my traditional zippo lighter. This butane insert fits into any standard zippo case, and fits perfectly as you'd expect. It is well made and looks fantastically shiny. Filling the insert is super easy, and is low maintenance. I love my classic zippo, but it is quite a high maintenance lighter with the original lighter fluid insert - having to replace flint, cotton, and constantly refill was a hassle. The butane lighter only needs occasional top ups of butane. Butane also keeps a lot better than lighter fluid (in a zippo). It won't evaporate or dry out, and has been far more reliable. The butane lighter insert also provides a stronger, hotter, and more windproof flame. Whilst it's not as aesthetical or classic as the original insert, its a far more practical upgrade in my opinion.

I had an issue with it (propane) that was my fault and have updated the review. The issue below is what happened when I filled it with gas that wasn’t butane but a butane/propane mix: Unreliable ignition. I didn’t use it much. Worked fine on first fill. Now filled again a couple of times and it’s sparking and gas sounds like it’s coming out but no burn. Tried turning it up and down in case the gas flow is too strong for the spark to ignite but hmm a bit useless without the flame.

I had high hopes for this. The quality feels high - its heavy and solid. It doesn't light reliably. I've tried everything - removed the stock adjuster limiter to turn it up, different gas and different fill levels, warming etc. - sometimes it will light several times in a row then not at all for a long while. Even when it is lit a tiny breeze will blow it out - it isn't wind proof at all. I know Zippo make these in China and unfortunately they just don't work.

These are brilliant! I had an old favourite Zippo that I didn't want to throw, but the fit on the lid wasn't good, so the lighter fluid ran out very quickly, due to evaporation. Chuck one of these bad-boys in there and problem solved! Favourite old zippo, works for ages...only downside is you don't get that infamous Zippo stink! I like these so much I bought a second one to fix another Zippo...

Excellent flame, and while the flame lacks the romanticism of the classic petrol fuel and with the noise would not look as good in those classic movies it is at least as functionl. Also it has the classic click. I like it

A superb upgrade to the Zippo range , easy to use and fill without the customary petrol smell, very efficient and clean .
