I literally stopped using my zippos because of the fluid evaporating. Learning they got chimneys and o-rings existing out there is slowly capturing my attention. And brass! I’ve fallen in love with brass too. When they make a butane insert that you don’t have to fiddle with and when there’s the “ultimate” best of everything insert, THEN, I’ll probably go back to zippo. In the meantime I’ll be using butane lighters and torches
I hear your frustrations. Zippo now sells a soft flame butane insert of your interested pretty great. Also I have a new channel now I lost this one to hackers.
@@ZippoFanatic77 Does the steel gasket from insert #1 fit in #2 without any modifications? If so i'll probably just go that route because i prefer the chimney cap design of #2.
Any chance you'd consider doing an evaporation test on the zorro fluid inserts vs a regular zippo insert? Fill em both up and without using them see how long the fluid lasts in each.
I know right hopefully these videos and comments make them rethink it. I know they watch them. I also lost this channel if u want my new comment. Come see me on my new one. Zippo has a soft flame butane insert now
Their fluid sales would drop 30% or more if they did that. So yeah, fuck zippo. They also bought ronsonol 13 years ago so they're definitely scamming people
I was a hydrolic mechanic the boxes of 100 different O rings where about 20 bucks used two Detroit 2 stroke diesels one clockwise one counterclockwise !
I like my Z-plus soft flame. It actually doesn't blow out all that easily. It just looks and feels like a Zippo, you flick the thumb wheel and the flame burns continuously until you close the lid, it just looks and feels like a Zippo without the smell or burning your leg with fluid because you overfilled it when you were in a hurry and butane is just cheaper and easier to get in the UK, you can buy it almost anywhere!
There used to be links but they were changed. So they don’t work anymore. U get them on aliexpress bro. I have a new channel lost this one. Come check it out
Hi Zippo Fanatic 77, I really like the number 1, because the brass bottom cannot deform, together with the hood on the chimney, this Zorro has no fuel evaporation.
While ago I bought zippo butane jet insert. And same problem. Second refill and I couldn’t get it to work. I tried flame adjusting and no luck. I ended it throwing it out. Switched to thunderbirds for their jet and soft flames. Love the new soft flame insert. But I have to give it time to see how good it is.
#2 probably doesn't have extra gaskets because plastic/rubber is probably already soft enough to have a gasket effect unless it doesn't feel tight. With metal on metal you need a softer gasket to seal better, but soft material can seal against metal by itself.
@@woodypigeon I'll have to look up that bag trick. My slim is like around a 1962 and did two tours in Vietnum (a friend). I used it till it fell apart 3-4 years ago. I was looking at the Zippo site to get another today and saw this vid on their site and the Zorro inserts. Price is about the same for the standard and the slim, so I'll probly just get the std and some Zorro inserts and not have to fill it every day and sell the old slim. Don't know if I should send it to Zippo for repairs or sale as is or were to sell it.
I've had to do the same thing for my double butane insert. Geez I know I didn't respond for a while but I got Plastic butane insert from dollar general and it worked better! (It came out of a plastic "survival" lighter. Good steel cam and everything.) I couldn't refill it, it was single flame and worked like a dream. Just made your zippo feel weightless and that just doesn't feel good. Overall, $6, and even you would get at least 5 days out of it.
Well u can take the chimney cap of that one and rubber gasket out it on a regular zippo insert. New channel by the way lost this one click know this name
I wish I knew this before my father died. I would've given him, for his birthday or christmas, a brass or copper Zippo with a butane insert (he was a plumber his whole life). He never liked the original one, the one running on lighter fluid -petrol. He called it a G. W. Bush lighter (due to his oil investments). 🙄 😁
I bought also the single torch butane insert from zippo a while ago and it works just fine without any fixing ore modification. Maybe this has something to do with the kind of butane your using. I use the Komet premium butane which costs about 4€ a bottle and after I filled the lighter it lasts me fore about three month.
I once had a old Zippo. I named it Boue. The damn wheel flew off & the flint shot out like a bb/pellet. Now it's just a little storage container. I didn't know you could get new inserts ! Cool video bro !
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Ok for sure. I will subscribe to you new channel. I'm gonna send my busted Zippo in if it's free for a new insert. Also, I recently bought a "1935 Replica w/ Slashes" .. and was wondering if it's normal for the lid to be so loose when opened up ? Is this just because it's a 3 barrel hinge & "1935 Zippo technology" or are their known to be some lemons out there of this model and I should get it replaced?
@@doejon9424 no John unfortunately they are that loose. There’s a reason the 35 hinge Didnt last long on a zippo and they changed to 4 barrel then finally 5 barrel. Watch my 35 replica video I think I wiggle the lid when open to show. But if your sending your zippo in for a free insert. Might as well send that in too says the hinge is very loose. They will tighten it. It’s all free. And u will get a new insert for the 35 as well
I got the 'all steel' insert but I regret it. Turns out you need an extra move to close the chimney cap before closing your zippo lid and that becomes a hassle really easily. I hope I can become used to it.
The thing I don't like about butane is that the batteries run out in the sparker I have four butane lighters I can't use because the sparker went out that's why i like zippo's
2:26 have you tried running MAPP gas in it? It really works. How long is my lighter going to last? I don't know, but it produces a nice short hot flame.
Hi. Hi there. I hVe been working on 2 old lighters and neither have a name on. Theirs is a table lighter that came with a set we bought. I took it apart like shown and the cotton that came out was just in dirty old cotton. And a flint thT is in the spring and a dirty wick. And it is missing the cover for the lighter fluid. I have had A number of men trying to get it to work with no luck. The second one is an old camel lighter with Camel on it. I know it had been my husband's I. A old box that he had. And I can even get it opened up it looks like it will but it is on very tightly. I do get sparks from it. I would love to use both of these if I could have them work. I lost my husband 10 years Go
