Review on πŸ”₯ Zippo 65827 Butane Lighter Insert - Dual Torch by Mark Sergio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great after a little adjustment.

I couldn't wait to get this, I wasn't a fan of the liquid lighter cotton balls that usually come with zip ties. I don't smoke and usually just wear a zippo for coolness and fear. But once in a blue moon I use it. For example, on a recent trip I had to cut a piece of paracord, and when it came time to melt the tip to keep it from unraveling, I found the cotton balls were dry. So the answer is: self-contained, reusable butane pressure flares. But after I got it and put it in my zipper (fits perfectly btw) it doesn't work. I clicked and clicked and it lit up every 5 or 6 clicks. I'm starting to swear, prepare to return the product, and write an angry review, but after reading other reviews I realized that this seems to be a common problem. The tip of the electrode is vertical and had to tilt towards one of the nozzles to create an arc to ignite the butane. I've also found that if you lightly press the igniter for a split second before pressing it fully, you get stable ignition. So, after all that, all is right with the world, and now I have a working tool. Too bad it's not brass to match my Zippo.

Pros
  • Height adjustable blue flame; Heats up to 2300Β°F/1260Β°C
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
