Review: Updated my 2014 brass armor Zippo with this insert, love it! - Recently acquired this nice 2014 brass Armor case Zippo from a friend's estate. I've carried a Zippo before, but since I don't generally use a lighter much, it was often dry and useless when needed. Also, if you've ever had a recently filled Zippo leak fluid into your jean watch pocket, you know what the painful outcome of that can be. So, I found this cool Zippo brand butane insert. It works great, and provides a nice torch flame. Now I didn't notice that one can also get a version that has an old-school flame rather than the torch. I might have gone for that one, but the torch is fine for general purpose fire starting. And, it'll be perfect for the two or three times a year I enjoy a nice cigar. I do sort of like that the soft-flame version uses a wheel and flint, whereas this one uses piezo ignition (which hopefully lasts longer than the pile of cheap piezo lighters littering my junk drawer). As mentioned in some of the other reviews, there are a couple of quirks to this insert. Like others, I had to mess about a bit getting it to work when I first filled it. It would light for a second, then go out. After doing this a few times, and continuing to push in the butane, it finally accepted a fill and works fine. I think it has to purge out the air or whatever before the reservoir can fill properly. A minor thing to deal with on the initial fill. The other quirk has to do with the Armor case. As others have noted, due to the extra thickness of the case, the lid doesn't "quite" fit flush when closed. You can perhaps see the miniscule gap in my first picture. It's not particularly bothersome, but to those with OCD, it may be a tad off-putting. Picture three shows the bottom of the insert. My plan is to run the bottom of the insert across some reasonable grit sandpaper to get the surrounding edges of the insert down flush with the bottom. We're talking less than half a mm here, so it won't take much. Conclusion: I don't know how long this will last, but being an official Zippo product, I hope for quite a while. It does appear to be well made and well designed, and works well. I recommend this item, and would consider buying more for my other Zippos.
Review: Sweet! - I don't smoke, I just like lighters. I mean, they are useful for other things, starting campfires, on heat shrink tube, etc. I have always liked zippos, but never liked the fact that the liquid fuel evaporates. It goes "somewhere" which means the air you breath, your clothes, your skin. And then, when you need to use the lighter 3 months later - it's dry. Zippos are not really made for occasional use, they are for everyday smokers. So this is a PERFECT solution. Fill it with butane, drop it in the zippo housing, done. Now I have a lighter that is useful for the things I do. I can throw it in a backpack, and it will work 6 months later. I can keep it in my pocket without the smell, and with the knowledge that lighter fluid is going "somewhere." This literally takes 10 seconds to install. It fits perfectly, nice and snug, yet easy enough to remove to refill. It still makes that awesome zippo "Click" sound! The flame is rock solid. Height is adjustable, but only to a point. Below aobut 1/2" high, it won't stay lit, so you have to set it a bit higher than that. But actually the factory setting is just about right anyway, at about 1" high. It lights on the first click almost every time. Very reliable. It does not leak when filling. In a pinch, you can use it "bare" without the case, and should your zippo lid fall off, it is still pretty safe to carry without a lid, since the button requires a fair amount of pressure. In works in any position, upside-down, sideways, with no change in flame height or direction (i.e. flame doesn't go "up" if you hold it sideways). It does not get excessively hot if you use it for a bit longer, like 30 seconds. I guess if you kept it going a long time it would get pretty hot, but you wouldn't normally use it like that. The *only* drawback to this insert is that it won't give you candlelight like an old-school zippo. But I'll just remember to bring a flashlight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it include zippos lifetime warranty?**
A: Hello. The insert has a 2 year warranty. They are manufactured in China by Zippo's high quality specifications.

**Q: With the lid open, and torch not being used, will the butane leak out?**
A: No. The butane only turns on when the button is pushed, so there is no leakage when the lid is closed or open for that matter.

**Q: Has anyone else bought this insert for a thyrm case? my case won't close with the single flame insert. buyers beware!**
A: The Zippo butane  lighter inserts are manufactured to fit in genuine Zippo windproof lighter cases.

**Q: My zippo is filled with fluid and will not light unless I use another flame to light it. Thoughts?**
A: We recommend using Zippo or Ronson butane fuel for optimal performance of the butane insert.  Also, please try turning the adjustment flame at the bottom of the insert.  Since the insert is brand new, it may just need to be adjusted from the original setting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied
*by J***L on February 5, 2024*

Update I got the replacement last week from Zippo. It works great with no issues. I changed my rating from a 1 to a 5 star. A combination of reasons I went to a 5. 1 Zippos customer service stepped up and took care of it. It wasn't a hassle to resolve on my end. The new product functions as it should amd has no issues. I'm very happy with it. I am also satisfied with the process to fix the issue I had with the first order. Update to my first post. Zippo reached out this morning. They requested a picture of the missing screw and proof of purchase. I emailed those items to them. They got back and confirmed my address was the same. Then they advised they would process and send me a replacement. I will update my review when the replacement comes in. I bumped my rating from a 1 to a 3 based on them taking car of it. If the replacement works I will change the rating. The butane leaks out and was missing a screw. I contacted zipo and haven't gotten a response. Very disappointed.
