Zippo inserts and alternatives

Shadow4478 · 03-14-2020, 09:18 AM

So I’m a fan of zippo’s
Personally I don’t taste the fuel if I ever use a original zippo in a pinch
Most of the time I use the zippo dual flame torch inserts made by zippo
Or sometimes the single torch also by zippo. My issue is the amount of run time I get out of one of those guys is enough to light 2 cigars with some touch up’s !
(I do purge and fill them correctly)

I’m now looking at one of the off brand zippo inserts that do torch and soft flame
Has anyone used it or found a reliable torch/soft flame lighter
Doesn’t have to be a zippo or zippo insert.

The idea of the torch was to eliminate the fuel loss and improve wind resistance.
Wind resistance is 100% better, but having to refuel it with butane every 2 cigars brings me back to point zero.

I do use a inner bike tube for the original zippo to cover the seam which prolongs the fuel loss. But since I barely use the original fuel lighter :/ also pointless

Anyone pls come in on anything I mentioned or can contribute.
