Zippo Butane Inserts

These butane lighter inserts from Zippo offer a way to carry one of the most iconic lighters ever produced, without having to contend with fluid loss when you really need it.

[@ef2967]

Its funny watching all these videos where the user keeps putting the insert back in the case to test it like it needs to be grounded or something. It works without the case :D

[@teapeabartle4046]

Got a dual torch a few months back and love it. Watching this video I went and bought myself a solid brass zippo. The problem is I’m sensing another collection addiction coming on.

[@jeffcon123]

Bro. I just found an old brass scroll zippo and then saw the red double butane torch insert, lol I had to buy it. And the parts to fix my all brass slim. I customize my knives all the way to the hardware so I sense I’ll be buying a lot of these. And along with knives. Will turn into gifts this coming Christmas 😂

[@shawnlizeleatherdale4052]

I debated these inserts - where I live in Asia, it is quite a drive to get the butane. One of the reasons I carry and use a zippo is because almost anything flammable can be used.

I was yelling at the screen, "you're going the wrong way"... I've carried a Thunderbird butane insert in my Zippo case for about 5 years, works great. I definitely will check out the Zippo double flame.

[@txtoolcrib]

Lol. Yeah I could have easily edited that out. Everyone makes mistakes though.

[@Normandie4Life]

I have only ever been let down by zippo lighters because of fuel loss. It’s why I carry a bic aswell as a zippo. Excellent review as always and helping me sort my “to myself” Christmas list. Cheers Ben.

[@txtoolcrib]

I like the feel and click of a Zippo. You’re right, fuel loss is a big issue with them.

[@EliR67]

Thank You!! I was getting really upset with my insert but your fix did the trick. THANK YOU!!

[@pulamusic]

I had a hard time setting up my dual flame lighter. Another video had the answer that fixed mine (it requires some disassembly to remove the butane limiter). Zippo hasn’t really figured out this technology yet.

[@peterzabilka3664]

Hi Jim. I have a single flame. I agree about the disassembly to allow a great flame adjustment and it's something Zippo needs to look into.

[@MacTX]

I have the single flame version insert, bought it because I like the Zippo as an EDC lighter and I'm not a smoker so having to refill the classic insert weekly wasn't sustainable and was a waste. Zippo should modernize the Zippo and just come out with a soft flame sealed fuel container insert and have that be the standard insert while offering the classic and torch insert as options.

[@txtoolcrib]

I agree.

[@tydshiin5783]

The problem with having a encased design that stops fuel vaporizing is that you'll oxygen starve it Like no matter the type of gasket that you use the flame will be very tiny

[@MacTX]

​@@tydshiin5783 That doesn't make sense at all, Bic lighters exist. Sealed fuel containment lighters have existed for a very long time. I'm not talking about just a casket, but a full insert from Zippo. You can buy aftermarket Zippo inserts now for soft flame (like Bic) that uses a sealed, refillable fuel containment system. It's not a matter of it not being possible, it's that Zippo doesn't offer it. We have to go to 3rd party for it. It used to be the same way for the torch butane inserts, you can only get 3rd party ones until Zippo decided to offer one.

[@tydshiin5783]

@@MacTX really bruh, you're looking at petrol lighters and butane lighters

[@MacTX]

@@tydshiin5783 I'm talking about inserts for Zippos, not the fuel itself. that's what I wrote about in that comment from a year ago.

[@telegraph_hill]

Good content and pacing. Thanks!

[@chris-gj7cv]

thanks for the awesome review👍 I’m about to buying one of those zippo torches.

[@txtoolcrib]

Glad I could help

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

I like the single because it lasts longer and they do have one that does soft flame and torch they got replacement stuff to help the originals last longer

[@guky667]

Got a dual torch and I can confirm the hinge is much tighter and snappier, which makes sense cuz you don't have the flint spring throwing it off up or down, it goes straight to the bottom so the tolerances may be tighter

[@Mike-kc8rl]

Zippo now has a soft flame butane refill that has the flint wheel. It's all good, but it's not windproof otherwise it's great!

[@jadeydave]

My brain exploded when you were turning it down instead of up hahaha I wanted to yell at you through the screen

[@len-zeplin480]

Always use a bigger Flame than Nesisary to light up a Smoke.

[@HDSME]

I have one works great

[@miguelmendez4718]

Great video, do they fit the armor style case

[@ucitymetalhead]

I want to get one of those pyrovault cases they look interesting.

[@txtoolcrib]

I thought about getting one of those myself.

[@olexandrs6639]

u need to adjust flame heigh settings depended on amount fuel in tank to be able to light it. more fuel - lower flame settings. less fuel left - higher flame settings. there is brass limiter which u need to take off to if u want light zippo when tank is near to empty.

[@Streamtronics]

these flames burn hot, but they go out at a little bit of wind, too. Also sad they don't have one with the flint + wheel, since obviously that's where a lot of the zippo charm comes from

[@txtoolcrib]

Maybe one day they will make a soft flame insert like the Vector Thunderbird.

[@perkaholic1219]

can someone tell me if the flint or the sparker on the butane insert wears out quickly cuz i seen such things wear out with other lighters

[@Greenmachine305]

You can use them without the case, you know.

[@DoveSharma]

What if you avoid inserting them before adjusting every time

[@ThisIsMeArnold]

Hello. There isn't any information about this online - are you able to blow out the flame jets?

[@johnossendorf9979]

Maybe when I can get a soft flame insert.

[@DoomOfConviction]

Would like to have one went to zippo where it’s sold out so I keep using my normal light. 🤷‍♀️

[@hundun5604]

Does the flame shrink when the pressure inside the insert drops (due to usage)? That's normally the case with the "cheap" throw away bic lighters

[@stefangeernaert1970]

I wanne buy one.....which one is the better?

[@OGbrick420]

Smokezilla makes a waterproof case with torch insert that will fit a zippo. the waterproof case will hold your zippo insert as well.

[@SpaceDave3000]

It's a mystery to me why they don't make a regular yellow flame version. That they've left it to a third party to take care of selling the best selling insert replacement is beyond me.

[@hmm2928]

I a new to this, but could you say what a yellow version of flame is? And how it is better?

[@NaS7338]

@@hmm2928 a soft flame, like a regular lighter, often with a flint instead of that torch dumpster fire.

[@chriswimer6296]

They do have a soft yellow flame butane insert, just fyi :)

[@cloudh8779]

Is it bright at night?

[@jonw2260]

i haven't bought a zippo for a long time. the website only has these torch inserts. do they no longer sell the wick and flint?

[@childyoutube9769]

以我個人的經驗 你該調整的是點火的地方 用止血鉗調整一下會比較好 而不是調整火力的大小

[@davespringer1421]

I'm having same problem with dual flame. Hard to light doesn't stay on

[@mnight207]

Zippos and standard bic lighters are my favorite. I love standard zippos because they stay lit without holding a trigger...also, love the candle affect.

[@HDSME]

I have a plastic waterproof shell locks ! With o ring works fantastic use it constantly every day for 2 yrs it's made bye. THYRM IT GOT A CLIP IN THE BACK TOTALY WATER PROOF CHECK IT OUT

[@wilsonsim9124]

Who wants a zippo for the classic sound it makes or the cam action?

[@txtoolcrib]

Pretty much.

[@incredifunk]

any of y'all seen the rubber replacements for the cotton in zippos? the flap deal over the cotton im referring to. lots of folks Don't like the fact that the Fluid evaporates. the Rubber should help

[@harrykalogeras-yn9rf]

Is there an insert for the slim model?

[@warblerab2955]

The lid is probably snappier because the insert is new.

[@txtoolcrib]

Could be.

[@CJ-bb2gs]

If it aint broke.. Dont fix it.. I bought one of these the other day.. It feels like an indoors girls lighter now.. Dont get me wrong.. Zippo is quality.. It just feels like a lighter best to use in doors..

[@HollywoodTacticool]

i've had zippos since i was a kid, they badly need an upgrade that prevents all that darn fluid loss, they're gonna get flanked badly by some chinese company that's gonna come out with a much better zippo....

[@AlexT-md9df]

There is no way to know how much butane is inside.

[@scottmcintosh2988]

They make a pipe butane insert ???

[@drownedsnail7803]

Do the butane inserts also lose fuel like the normal ones?

[@txtoolcrib]

No, they are sealed.

[@realtalk4real243]

Just got mine and when full it last like 10 seconds before empty

[@tikkidaddy]

Well they make a soft flame flint wheel now. Its advisable with a refillable butane lighter to bleed out any gasses that may be in there from factory before you fill them and to use the highest quality refined butane you can get. IME with the old Zippo BLUE, their butane SUCKED. I got a big can of quintouple refined butane for my old RHINO lighter and it still runs to this day

[@BluestedSRT4]

Are these inserts made in USA?

no, im pretty sure :(

Big ol’ bowl of stupid. Lol Thanks for the video.

[@johnadolph4407]

I’ve had both the single and double Zippo butane inserts - both were complete crap. Buyer beware.

[@txtoolcrib]

What issues did you have?

[@johnadolph4407]

Neither would ignite a flame. Just sparked. Purging the gas and adjusting the lighter “arm” didn’t help.
