Review on πŸ”₯ Zippo 65827 Butane Lighter Insert - Dual Torch by Lisa Montgomery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic (after a tiny modification to fix a hard ignition)

Important information about the ignition electrode if yours does not ignite well! I bought two inserts with two flashlights for two of my favorite zippos. I opened one, immediately filled it up, installed it and went to smoke. It took a few clicks for it to light up, and I assumed it was because I'd just filled it up. I was wrong. It remained difficult, even if sometimes 10 or more attempts were made. It turned out that the small ignition electrode located above the burner outlets was directed almost vertically - the spark returned to the top edge of the insert body. It wasn't until I opened the second insert and saw that this electrode was bent almost horizontally over the torch outlets that I realized the problem. I carefully bent the wrong one down with my fingernail and now it sparkles in one of the sockets and ignites for the first time every time. I don't want people to be as frustrated as I am with a simple problem/solution. Now they work exactly as I hoped and I can finally use my Zippos for cigars! is used (on the left, perfectly clean). I've never taken a photo and won't bend it as it was and risk breaking it for a photo ;-)

Pros
  • Genuine Zippo Dual Burner Insert; Push-button piezo ignition
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors
