Thunderbird butane zippo insert (Leak Fix)

[@kuhliloach8842]

Thanks for this! I also had to bend the metal inside the upper piece a little bit to get things lined up. Filing, plus bending the upper metal, stops it from leaking inside the case when closed. It's worth the effort.

you’re the goat for making this vid, i was so close to buying the zippo insert that doesnt stay lit

[@gctdonyre]

I recommend using a Dremel tool if you have it. You can achieve a level, and round finish. Another thing I recommend is adjusting the cam tab to be right where the cam and chimney meet when the case is closed. That way you're not relying only on just filing the cam to compensate for tolerances with different series of cases (standard Zippo, Amor Zippo, Zorro 902, Zorro 912, Chief, etc...).

Great advise. I wonder if that was a design issue, or not making to specification issue.

You should email the company!

Tengo un problema amigo, no logro comprender cual es la modificación que haces en el mecanismo

[@UnknowableDandelion]

Él está limando el lado interno del "cam" del encendedor para que pueda cerrarse completamente cuando se cierra la tapa.

how the insert holding up?

[@heat_technician]

It still works perfectly. I did the gas leak fix over two years ago and only got around to making this video recently. This is by far the best butane insert once you fix the cam issue.
