Review: works EXACTLY as described! - I read the negative reviews before purchasing this product, and maybe the company had some QC issues at one time. But my item worked exactly as promised - fit perfectly into my Zippo case, and fired up instantly. Just to be sure, over the course of the first couple days I depleted the fuel completely by igniting it about 50 times, using both torch and soft flame each time. Never malfunctioned, not even once. Refilled, fired up again perfectly, used it for lighting with no issues whatsoever. I couldn't be happier with this product at this time! Kind of makes me wonder if some of the negative reviews were operator error/cheap fuel ... Update: Curiosity got the best of me, so I bought a second unit. It works fine! Admittedly the second one has had a couple "hiccups", but so far apart that I still give it 5 stars. This insert is more reliable than my $70 Xikar lighter that does not light on the first try about 50% of the time. Update (August 2022): After one year of using this product, I would give it 5+ stars. While I don't use it every day, I use it regularly, have refilled it many times, and have had zero issues! Several friends have purchased this upon my recommendation, and their products also function smoothly, without issues.
Review: Dangerous, defective, and unreturnable on desertcart - I followed all instructions on both the package of the lighter, and the butane gas bottle (Vector brand filtered butane.) I have two other vector lighters of a different design that work fine, so I am reasonably familiar with using them. However, there is something wrong with this design. The first fill up worked perfectly fine, and I thought the design was pretty intriguing actually. After it ran low I followed the instructions on the package to drain the remaining gas and refill it. Upon my first use after refill only a tiny, anemic flame was produced when I held the button down (not a butane jet like it was supposed to be but a candle style flame despite being set to maximum.) When I let go it set my hand on fire as the whole lighter caught fire for a moment (I was uninjured.) Not being one to quit, I experimented a bit, but after the side of the lighter caught fire again I determined further testing was too dangerous and tried to get a refund, only to find that desertcart at least will not accept any attempt to return butane lighters do to the flammable gasses. This makes sense, but is still unfortunate. Presumably I could try the company warranty, and probably will. But if you are thinking of taking a risk on an intriguing lighter design, best to skip this one, or at least buy it from a physical store where returns are easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: this has both types of flame in the same insert? how do you light one or the other? is it all metal?**
A: When you press down the trigger it lights as a torch, release for soft flame. Close lid to shut it off.This item is a combination of plastic and metal.

**Q: How can you get a case for the insert?**
A: Zippo lighters, as well as lighters of the same form factor made by the same company as this insert, are also available right here on Amazon, no need to visit a brick & mortar.

Also, a correction to the two "answers" saying out will fight any (non-slim) Zippo. In addition to the slim model Zippo lighters, this won't fit the 1935 replica Zippo lighters either.

**Q: Does it fit a Zippo Armor?**
A: Yes it does.

**Q: Anyone have trouble filling this lighter.? Got mine today but the butane sprays out of the can like it isn't seating good. . I have tried 3 cans**
A: First make sure there is no air stuck in the tank.  What you want to do is drain the tank in an upright position and then fill with the insert pointing down.  Do that a few times and the air pocket should be removed.  Make sure to drain in a well ventilated area, away from any flame.   

You can try a different butane too.  Zippo, Colibri, and Ronson work the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coolest light insert I ever owned ....
*by M***D on September 21, 2017*

UPDATE: I was able to completely fix the lifting issue. All I did was to squeeze the sides of my case together a little bit with the insert removed. I still didn't give them the fifth star, though, because I never had to do that with any other insert before. Wish I could give them four and a half. ORIGINAL: This is what happens when mechanical engineers have too much time on their hands. So, the way it works is this: You open the lighter, no gas is released. You press the button, and it is a torch-type flame. You release the lever, it is a standard soft flame like a Bic or something. You close the lid, it stops the gas flow. I'm a little worried, because a mechanism this complex is likely to fail early, but that's not why I subtracted a star. I subtracted a star because of a minor nuisance. I guess the hinge lever that springs the lighter lid open and closed is stiffer than most because of something to do with the extra work it does closing the valves and resetting the mechanism that controls which flame is burning. Well, If I don't close it with a fairly quick action, there is a tendency for the insert to lift out of the case instead of closing as it should. Easy to manage with a bit of downward pressure on the insert, and then you learn to just close the lid with a swift motion. Still, it's an inconvenience. They have some text in the instructions which talks about bending this little thing inside the lid to get the fit just right, and I tried it, but the dimensions were not right to get a stable fix for me. I did not make the connection when I bought it, but this lighter is made by Vector, my preferred brand of butane, so that's giving me some hope that this thing might last longer than most.
