Zippo65826 Butane Lighter Insert - Single Torch, Chrome

I absolutely love the Zippo butane insert for its reliability and efficiency. In my experience over the past few years, I have found that using high-quality butane is key to optimal performance. When refilling, I wait until the flame is completely out before turning the dial to the lowest setting and burping the Zippo by pressing the fill valve on the insert. I repeat this process 4-5 times to ensure all air is released before refilling with butane. While some may bounce the lighter during refilling, I prefer gently shaking the insert between each butane squirt to avoid air in the tank. After refilling, I let the insert stand upright in the case for 3-5 minutes to avoid any freezing issues before striking. Despite the meticulous process, refilling takes less than 10 minutes, and I can use my Zippo for several days without refueling, even as a pack-a-day smoker. The Zippo butane insert easily ranks in my top 3 of butane lighters, with Zippo's quality always keeping it at number 1. I highly recommend this insert for Zippo enthusiasts.

I absolutely love the classic look of a Zippo lighter, but I've never been a fan of the taste that lighter fluid adds to my smoking experience. This windproof lighter is a game-changer for me - it eliminates the lighter fluid taste completely. Unlike electric inserts, this one can be filled in seconds, making it super convenient. I can even light it while driving at 65mph with the window down, a feat impossible with the "normal" Zippo insert. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants the best of both worlds - classic style and modern convenience.

Love zippo butane insert. Now please note that from my personal experience these past few years with the zippo butane insert: use a high quality butane always, I personally do not refill until it will not flame at all, I then turn the dial to the lowest setting and burp my zippo by pressing the fill valve on insert I then lightly shake and burp again and I will do this about 4 to 5 times to be sure I have released as much air as possible before filling the insert with the butane. I know I shouldn't ( but I do ) I like to press into the fill port for a few seconds and then release completely quickly. I do this 4 to 5 times avoiding the bouncing somepeople like to do when refueling butane lighters. Zippos do not like air in the tanks. I very gently shake the insert between each squirter of butane. If I begin to feel the butane spraying out I stop at that point it's either full like it should be or it is full of air and is refusing the fuel. I turn the insert upright and insert into the zippo case close the lid and set standing up for 3 to 5 minutes before ever attempting to strike. They tend to freeze when fueling so give it a few to thaw a bit before using the zippo. I know this seems like a task but it takes me less than 10 minutes and I use my zippo for several days before fueling again smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I find this insert for zippo to be in my top 3 of butane lighters. Quality however makes zippo always number 1.

fits lighter case well, takes a long time to purge but when filled and purged lights OK

I absolutely love the Zippo 65826 Butane Lighter Insert! Such an amazing single torch that fits perfectly in my Zippo lighter. The chrome finish looks sleek and the performance is top-notch. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to upgrade their Zippo.

Great way to modernize my old zippo. I dont smoke, so everytime I went to use my zippo, it was out of fuel. Not anymore.

I recently upgraded my old Zippo lighter with the Zippo 65826 Butane Lighter Insert and it’s been a game changer! The single torch flame is powerful and consistent, making it much easier to light in windy conditions compared to traditional Zippo fluid lighters. The chrome finish is sleek and stylish, giving my Zippo a modern look while still keeping that classic feel.What I really appreciate about this insert is how easy it is to refill with butane, and it seems to last quite a while between refills. It also lights quickly and with precision, which is a big upgrade from the usual flint-based lighters. The build quality is top-notch, just like everything Zippo makes, and I’ve had no issues with it so far.
