What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Single torch will save your butane, so i go with it. Dual torch design works great for lighting cigars. Fuel evaporation or stains are no longer a problem.
The insert feels like a solid block of steel, with a nice heft to it. S. A from bradford pa. This insert is a terrific upgrade to any standard zippo lighter.
Zippo butane insert is an option, though your average gas station butane lighter has these things figured out for less money. You can easily adjust the flame height on the bottom of the inserts right next to the butane fill port. Along with that, the ... Read More
Cons
The bottom flame adjustment screw has 2 settings, full on (which refuses to light) or completely off. Refilled it.

Stay away from this unit. Don't waste your money. It needs constant upkeep.
Highlights
Quality
Great upgrade from the good old flame, last twice as long as the standard inserts
I didn’t need to remove the o rings, but adjusted the flame and purged it, and now it works beautifully.
Low quality butane contains significant impurities which will quickly build up inside the gas tubes and foul the lighter.
Battery life is 2-3 days, i've had this one for a month or 2.
Price

Shipping
Delivery not when originally promised for friday (not even picked by thursday, arrived a day earlier than subsequent tuesday ship date)
Competitiveness
The zippo butane lighter insert is a nice alternative to the classic fluid insert.
Both require either zippo or ronson butane, if you use another brand they really don't like it (spitting, won't light).
The arc part is better than the cheaper electric lighters on here.
And the battery life is similar to the cheaper ones.
