Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Zippo 65827 Butane Lighter Insert - Dual Torch by Gunaraj Varga

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works well, it looks good, the flame is strong (I can't say more).

**SEEN REVIEW** It's quite disappointing: turns out it just looks good. The butane gas insert worked great at first. As I started using it, I noticed the flame getting shorter. I increased the flame but to no avail. Now, after a month and 3 days, it no longer works. I pressed the ignition button next to my ear and I don't hear a "ssss". from the nozzle. Gas does not come out when the ignition button is pressed even if the piezo clicks. It turns out that the gas is not supplied for ignition at all. So, I believe this article suffers from two shortcomings: 1) the gas release knob only releases gas with a minimal force; 2) Ignition button does not release gas. So I checked the Zippo website for return instructions. You will need my address, email and phone number and a picture of the date code on the insert. Too much effort and not providing my personal data for this POS. Zippo wants my personal information in exchange for honoring their warranty. So I checked the return policy on the Revain product page and it can be returned IF NOT USED! Incidentally, the return window closed exactly one month after purchase. Too bad, but: GOOD LUCK in purchasing this product, future buyers! This is gambling. This is not the same Zippo, at least after 2005. This was the last time I bought it. It's still a perfect Zippo piece. ** ** ** ** ** I first filled it for 5 seconds before trying to light it. At the start it was in full swing. I filled until the gas started to flow (full) and it caught fire every time. The trick is to press the button lightly to release the gas, then press it all the way down to make the piezo sparkle. Voila! beautiful twin blue flames shot up. I'll take a look at its durability and gas retention after a period of comfortable use. How about the price of $15 (almost)? Spring. I wish it was cheaper but if this insole lasts I think I can accept it. But I bought it for the novelty and coolness.
