Review on Z Plus Torch Flame Lighter Insert by Angie Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting performance!

In my experience, there doesn't seem to be a single lighter that works 100% of the time. When I received this lighter, I wasn't expecting it to fail (or barely light) after the first fill. It actually worked surprisingly well. Just one click and it lights up. I usually empty the tank before refueling and nothing has changed about that. A bubble may form inside the tank that only makes one puff and does not light up. After refueling it does not light up. I want to enlighten everything. Then I checked the fuel level with a flashlight as it's hard to see without it. The level was ok. After several attempts to light it I gave up and considered sending it back. Of course he sat with me for a few minutes. I tried again and after a few clicks, I can't remember how many, it finally lit up. From now on I have to press several times for it to light up. I've also played around with the flame settings but to no avail. It seems to me that the valve design is the thinnest, although it is the most important part. I suspect that instead of using a hard connection to the valve opener like the others, a piece of soft material is used. It wears out quickly and the valve doesn't open wide enough to reliably fire. My proposition! It's a good idea to make a Zippo insert, on the other hand for the cost you can buy about 15 discarded large lighters that might last 2 years. Updated 09/01/2018. igniter problem. If I want a flame I have to literally drop it on the table top (to move the crystal) or the igniter won't work at all. I'll throw it on the table until it even works, no more! Do not recommend this product, maybe I got a lemon?
