Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Silver Arc Zippo 65828 Lighter Insert by Rusty Heredia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for beefing up the old Zippo

This review includes both the arc lighter socket and the dual butane lighter socket. I bought both. Bow insert - perfect fit, very well made. Easy to charge. Takes a long time. I got it for an emergency lighter for hiking, snowmobiling, etc. To be clear, you can't light a cigar with this arc lighter, period. Doesn't work, don't try. I am a cigar smoker and have tried, no. Probably cigarettes. Get a butane zippo insert for cigars, works great. Double butane insert - perfect fit, very well made. It is easy to fill and adjust the flame. Worked right out of the box, I had no problems with the piezo starter. Strong stable flame. I have it for general purposes and cigar lighter. Works perfectly. EDIT - I had an issue with this after refilling it a second time. It won't glow. Good spark but no gas. Attempts to blow out on bad gas or air bubbles. Not good. I was about to return it when I saw an article on YouTube about a known defective underside flame adjustment screw. I followed the guide and it solved my problem. It will be necessary to remove the bottom of the lighter and remove or reinstall the flame adjustment screw plug and O-ring. Not very difficult but requires small tools, good eyesight and a steady hand. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Zippo wouldn't want you to take it apart, so how could that void your warranty? I'm reducing my rating to 2 stars because the owner doesn't need to fix a new lighter. Much luck. I'm so glad Zippo finally made it! It livens up all my old zippers that I don't use because lighter fluid evaporates very quickly.

Pros
  • , handy item
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
