- Does it fit any Zippo lighter?
- It is made to replace the standard insert in regular Zippo cases. Slim and some specialty models take different inserts, so check the case type before swapping.
- Is this a torch flame?
- No. It produces a soft yellow flame, not a blue windproof jet. That makes it gentler for pipes and cigars but weaker in wind.
- Do I still need lighter fluid?
- No. The insert runs on butane, so you refill it with butane gas and no longer buy fluid, wicks or flints for the lighter.
- How is it different from Zippo's jet inserts?
- The jet inserts give a hot, wind-resistant blue flame. This one gives a softer yellow flame that is easier to see and better for slow lighting, but it loses wind resistance.
- Can I switch back to the original insert?
- Yes. The insert lifts out, so you can put the original fluid insert back in the same case whenever you want.
- What do I need to run it?
- Butane fuel for refills and a flint for the ignition, which the insert uses. Nothing else is required beyond the lighter case itself.
