Highlights
Quality
Great upgrade from the good old flame, last twice as long as the standard inserts
Fills easily, fits well, creates a good double flame.
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
This is awesome… and you know what… if it craps out in a year… for $20….
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.

I had the setting close to high and a fill only lasted one day so that was a little surprising

Anyway i turned it down and am hoping it lasts longer

I find it much better for lighting cigars and i dont have to bother filling it every week like the traditional fluid inserts because of evaporation

It wont work in very cold temperatures either but thats not the fault of the lighter

Butane has a boiling point of 1c 30f and below this temperature it wont vaporize
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only negative is that it doesnt seem to hold enough butane for more than 30 or 40 uses before needing a refill
