Beats Lighter Fluid
This little device is a great swap for traditional lighter fluid lighters. It doesn't smell when burning, your don't get fluid on your hands, and it lights instantly. The only drawbacks would be that it is a VERY tight fit in the zippo shell, and the fire compartment isn't open on the opposite side like most pipe lighters. But I do recommend it.Read full review

High quality lighter insert! Update your Zippo!
The only negative comment I can make on this lighter insert as compared to the stock Zippo insert, the Thunderbird has more trouble lighting and staying lit in the wind, or lighting in the first place.Read full review

Closer to 5 stars than 4
I wanted to give this 4 1/2 stars, but since I can’t, I thought it more fair to give it 5. The only thing close to a bit to pick is that by converting to butane, you do lose the “wind proof” feature of the Zippo. It still works very well, but noticed that it is more prone to lose the flame with even a stray “puff” of air in it’s direction. Having said that, I don’t intend to go back to lighter fluid after using this pipe lighter insert! Never have to worry about the fluid drying all out, just when you need it.Read full review

My 2end purchase, I love this product
After a few weeks the on/off mechanism works slow, sticks or refuses to work. I just put a couple drops of oil on a Q-tip and oiled the on/off mechanism and Walla, better than new. This is a quality item that works very well. After a few months I really love this product as I find it to be much better than the liquid fluid in every aspect. Burns cleaner , much better flame, the lighter and flame doesn't smell, easier to fill, do not have to fill as often and less expensive. I will update this after I purchase additional units.Read full review

Works as advertised.
Ive only had my thunderbird insert for a few weeks. So far so good. I'm using vector fuel (recommended) and before filling, push the fill nozzle to release pressure. Seems to last longer doing it their way. Only thing I don't like is it's hard to tell how much fuel you've got unless you hold the insert up to a bright light. However I can deal with that.Read full review

Read this before buying!
This is an excallent item to make your zippo reliable if you are not a constant lighter user, but I do have a warning for those who get their zippos used. If your lighter case has any slight bends in the metal, your insert will get STUCK. Getting it out will be extremely difficult. Once I got mine out, I whittled the plastic on the insert until it because usable. None of my very old zippos would easily accept this insert, so be careful. I would suggest whittling the 4 "bumps" on the insert if there is any tightness issues.Read full review

Lighter
This is s great insert for your Zippo lighter. It fit all 5 of my cases. Works great and clean butane too! No Zippo fluid taste when I light my pipe.
Will buy again

Excellent idea…!
A litlle hope… if the 'body' would be half or one millimeter thinner the Zippo's case swell not at all and it would be a more beautiful

Very practical
Love Zippo Lighters but hate how the fuel dissipates so fast, this is the answer, no more wicks to replace and all contained in the beauty of a Zippo.
