Zippo Butane Single Flame Insert - Windproof Lighter - Single Flame On Demand - Blue Flame - Refillable - For Original Cases - Gift Box - Metal - Made in USA

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.

Out of the box these don't work at all really. (Your lucky if it ever lights and it never stays lit) You need to remove the 2 screws on the bottom, remove the plate and o ring around the adjuster then get a knife and lift the stopper on the adjuster while turning it slightly past where it should go and leave it there. Reasemble and it will work perfectly. This isn't as complicated as it sounds and takes around a minute. There will probably be videos on YouTube if you need help. Don't let this out you off because there great once it's done and it only needs doing once. These also fit in STAR lighter cases. I have mine in one my daughter had engraved for me.

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.

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.

Excellent, how did I not know about these before, the elegance of an Zippo with the ease of a gas lighter. Remember to top up with gas and so much less messy than the lighter fluid!

Had this lighter insert for 2 days. 1st day it worked perfect always lights first time. 2nd day as you can see from the video it doesn't light. On the rare time it decides to light it will only stay lit for 2 seconds maximum. The lighter is full of gas, I've tried with the flame control on max and down to low and nothing. Tried to contact zippo and not received a reply so I'll be returning this. UPDATE: Zippo got back to me and said because I've bought it from amazon and not direct through them they won't honor the warranty and I need to contact amazon to rectify. Completely unlawful as the consumer rights act 2015 states the manufacturers warranty comes first. Basically their slogan of "It works or we fix it for free" doesn't mean jack if you bought it through amazon, pathetic considering the insert wasn't even 48 hours in my control before it stopped working. Product will be getting returned and I won't be getting any more zippo products. The fluid version with the wick leaks, and this product doesn't even work. UPDATE: Now changed to 1 star. Zippo claim they don't need to provide a warranty on products not purchased directly through them. Complete horse crap.

I decided to switch the insert in my old Zippo lighter for this new butane one, and it’s been an amazing upgrade! The difference in performance is night and day. The butane insert ignites instantly and gives a strong, steady flame every time, which is a huge improvement over the traditional lighter fluid. It’s much cleaner too—no more messing with fluid or worrying about spills. The best part is how much more efficient and reliable it is. I no longer have to constantly refill it, and the butane fuel lasts much longer than I expected. The flame is perfect for lighting cigars, candles, or anything else, and it’s great for outdoor use as well. Plus, it fits perfectly in my classic Zippo casing, so it’s the same familiar feel but with a much more modern and functional twist. I’m so glad I made the switch—if you’re looking to give your Zippo a new life, this butane insert is definitely the way to go! It’s a game-changer and makes my Zippo lighter even more practical and convenient. Highly recommend!

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 ✌️
