Good replacement for traditional zippo lighter insert
Fits zippo lighter case tightly, but not too hard to insert or remove.. Works well, flame is easy to adjust, and appears like normal zippo lighter flame, as opposed to the butane "torch lighters" though Vector does make another model that has that type flame if you prefer one like that. Doesn't have the "lighter fluid smell" that a lot of people don't like when using to light cigar or pipe, etc. Best of all, doesn't let the fluid evaporate in a few days to a week like the original zippo lighter fluid insert does, so it will be ready to go for weeks/months/years etc. until you use up all the butane fuel. Then just refill it, and ready to go again.Read full review

It's decent
Initially bought so I could use my zippo to light cigars. I thought the soft flame would last a lot longer since it's not a jet. At low setting the flame still jumps like a traditional zippo. Also for some reason it fits a bit wonky and allows the lid to open slightly and twist. However I don't have that problem with the double jet version.Read full review

Great idea but....
In the first week the cam gear that works the butane on/off broke, and also the flame would flare up when it gets low on fluid, o yeah I almost forgot, when I first got it, I put it in my zippo and couldn't get it back out for a while, finally I had to slightly damage my nice zippo to get it out, but after that I put a little Vaseline on it so that wont happen again I hope, lol other than that I do like them and still use it but not worth the moneyRead full review

Way better than the standard zippo
Love this unit! No leaks, no smell and it lights every time and lasts way longer on one fill. I've always loved zippos but i hate dealing with them. This is the perfect solution and cheap too. The only change i would make is to make the tank transparent so you can know exactly how much is in it.Read full review

2nd purchase!
My first purchase of this item did not last very long. The rivet that keeps the flint wheel fell out. Also, it leaked butane at the top, where the butane is lit. That part of the Vector Thunderbird is a bit sketchy. Otherwise, an pretty good insert. Ok guess we'll see how long this one lasts!Read full review

Indispensable
Unless you like filling your lighter every time you go out, this is indispensable for zippos and flip top lighters in general that don't use butane.
Just slide it onto your case and TA-DA, now you have an actually reliable soft flame lighter! Not one that you are forced to use or else the fluid will evaporate in a few days.
Makes tricks impossible though.
But uses regular flints and a wheel to create a very similar experience to the classic flip top.
Pretty much indispensable if you want to actually use your zippos after you get tired of wasting money and time on fluid that lasts a few lights per fill or evaporates if you don't use the lighter.Read full review

Awesome!! Flame adjustable flint wheel chrome and semi translucent butane reservoir!
Almost indistinguishable from actual zippo tank. Functions well after two weeks heavy use. Will be purchasing more for the armegeddon.

Junk
The tab that opens and closes to let gas out/cut gas off when zippo is opened or closed does not work properly. The product does not fit into the zippo in the correct way. I would definitely NOT recommend this product. The zippo does not close properly with this product inside, which allows butane to continually escape. Dangerous and a piece of junk.Read full review

Great Product!
Great Product! Perfect addition for my lighters. Have no problem igniting them and the best thing is they fit perfectly and the fuel doesn't evaporate like the traditional fluid lighters.
Perfect for long time use and storage of emregency fire when needed.Read full review
