Got a dual torch a few months back and love it. Watching this video I went and bought myself a solid brass zippo. The problem is I’m sensing another collection addiction coming on.
Bro. I just found an old brass scroll zippo and then saw the red double butane torch insert, lol I had to buy it. And the parts to fix my all brass slim. I customize my knives all the way to the hardware so I sense I’ll be buying a lot of these. And along with knives. Will turn into gifts this coming Christmas 😂
Its funny watching all these videos where the user keeps putting the insert back in the case to test it like it needs to be grounded or something. It works without the case :D
I debated these inserts - where I live in Asia, it is quite a drive to get the butane. One of the reasons I carry and use a zippo is because almost anything flammable can be used.
I was yelling at the screen, "you're going the wrong way"... I've carried a Thunderbird butane insert in my Zippo case for about 5 years, works great. I definitely will check out the Zippo double flame.
I had a hard time setting up my dual flame lighter. Another video had the answer that fixed mine (it requires some disassembly to remove the butane limiter). Zippo hasn’t really figured out this technology yet.
I have the single flame version insert, bought it because I like the Zippo as an EDC lighter and I'm not a smoker so having to refill the classic insert weekly wasn't sustainable and was a waste. Zippo should modernize the Zippo and just come out with a soft flame sealed fuel container insert and have that be the standard insert while offering the classic and torch insert as options.
The problem with having a encased design that stops fuel vaporizing is that you'll oxygen starve it Like no matter the type of gasket that you use the flame will be very tiny
@@tydshiin5783 That doesn't make sense at all, Bic lighters exist. Sealed fuel containment lighters have existed for a very long time. I'm not talking about just a casket, but a full insert from Zippo. You can buy aftermarket Zippo inserts now for soft flame (like Bic) that uses a sealed, refillable fuel containment system. It's not a matter of it not being possible, it's that Zippo doesn't offer it. We have to go to 3rd party for it. It used to be the same way for the torch butane inserts, you can only get 3rd party ones until Zippo decided to offer one.
I have only ever been let down by zippo lighters because of fuel loss. It’s why I carry a bic aswell as a zippo. Excellent review as always and helping me sort my “to myself” Christmas list. Cheers Ben.
Got a dual torch and I can confirm the hinge is much tighter and snappier, which makes sense cuz you don't have the flint spring throwing it off up or down, it goes straight to the bottom so the tolerances may be tighter
Bud , always hold your butane and lighter perpendicular ie: straight up & down. Filling at an angle will occasionally get you a shot of propelant and reduces the amount of butane in your lighter will hold. Plus, always drain the air in the lighter. Doing that maximizes your capacity of butane your lighter will hold. Lots of videos on RU-vid on how to drain the air. Easy, peasy.
I like the single because it lasts longer and they do have one that does soft flame and torch they got replacement stuff to help the originals last longer
u need to adjust flame heigh settings depended on amount fuel in tank to be able to light it. more fuel - lower flame settings. less fuel left - higher flame settings. there is brass limiter which u need to take off to if u want light zippo when tank is near to empty.
these flames burn hot, but they go out at a little bit of wind, too. Also sad they don't have one with the flint + wheel, since obviously that's where a lot of the zippo charm comes from
any of y'all seen the rubber replacements for the cotton in zippos? the flap deal over the cotton im referring to. lots of folks Don't like the fact that the Fluid evaporates. the Rubber should help
It's a mystery to me why they don't make a regular yellow flame version. That they've left it to a third party to take care of selling the best selling insert replacement is beyond me.
Zippos and standard bic lighters are my favorite. I love standard zippos because they stay lit without holding a trigger...also, love the candle affect.
If it aint broke.. Dont fix it.. I bought one of these the other day.. It feels like an indoors girls lighter now.. Dont get me wrong.. Zippo is quality.. It just feels like a lighter best to use in doors..
I have a plastic waterproof shell locks ! With o ring works fantastic use it constantly every day for 2 yrs it's made bye. THYRM IT GOT A CLIP IN THE BACK TOTALY WATER PROOF CHECK IT OUT
i've had zippos since i was a kid, they badly need an upgrade that prevents all that darn fluid loss, they're gonna get flanked badly by some chinese company that's gonna come out with a much better zippo....
Well they make a soft flame flint wheel now. Its advisable with a refillable butane lighter to bleed out any gasses that may be in there from factory before you fill them and to use the highest quality refined butane you can get. IME with the old Zippo BLUE, their butane SUCKED. I got a big can of quintouple refined butane for my old RHINO lighter and it still runs to this day
