ZippoLighter Inserts

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.

Fits my Zippo lighter perfectly. Nice addition for a cigar smoker. Good flame.

I wanted a direct replacement to put in my father’s antique zippo lighter. It is a perfect fit and upgrade. This is now my utility lighter for every thing from cigars, heat shrink tubing, candles and more. I really enjoy my zippo products, and the quality is better than the nock offs.

I really like this product. I own 3, 1 for each of my zippo cases. My only real complaint is that the whole case is metal rather than having the lower part be glass or hard plastic. I have used some knock off zippo inserts, some of which were hard plastic, so you could very easily tell if it needed refilling ahead of time. With these original zippo branded inserts I have to shake it and hope my hearing is still good. The adjustment dial also needs a tool, it cannot be done with just your nail on this one, unlike the knockoffs. The reason I gave this product a try is because reviews on the knockoffs said that the fit was better when you purchased direct from zippo. They were definitely right about that. I used to pack the bottom of my zippo case with tinder, to make up for the gap created by the lack of proper fit when I used the knockoff insert. I honestly did not mind that too much because it empowered me to carry tinder as well, which I can no longer do because the fit with this product is so accurate. I will say it is useful to read the instructions. They came empty, I filled them up with butane an expected them to fire up immediately but the instructions actually specify to leave them upside down for 2 minutes after filling, and ever since I started doing that they work much better. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I carried a zippo for years when I smoked. now I just keep one in the truck in case I need a lighter. now I don't have to remember to refill it every couple weeks.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:What I wanted

Very cool product. I wish they had come out with this insert years ago. It's the perfect solution for the Zippo I like to keep in my golf bag in case a playing partner needs a light or when we decide to smoke cigars during a round. The fluid would eventually evaporate from the original insert.

Was sick and tired of constantly having a dead lighter, so I got this insert. It had a hard time taking a light right off the bat, but it appears to do this only just after filling it, and it settles down after a burn or two. Been using it some time, and has become my go to lighter.
