Question 1

Where is the zippo insert made?

Accepted Answer

Our butane and arc inserts are manufactured to high Zippo standards in China.

Question 2

Do I need to use zippo brand butane or can I use another brand such as Newport?

Accepted Answer

Newport is the purest butane widely available. You definitely won't have any trouble with it. Vector has the best detergents in it. You can't go wrong with either. If Ronson is a recommended brand, you shouldn't have any trouble with any brand (Ronson is the dirtiest butane I've ever used). That being said, I recommend Neon 750. There isn't a better bargain butane. It's about 250% the size of regular butane cans and costs $3 and change... Fantastic deal

Question 3

My new insert lights up but the flame never lasts for more than half a second and just gone. Why is that happening?

Accepted Answer

I have the single torch insert and had almost the same issue, my flame would last maybe 2 seconds then go out.  I was all set to return it, but I thought maybe it needs a good purge? It wouldn't hurt to try, so i vented the insert completely, waited a couple seconds and vented again and repeated this process until i couldn't hear any more pressure venting off.  I then filled with the same butane canister I had already been using (not the high-priced Zippo butane, but Vector 14, which has never given me any problems).  Just like magic - it works like it should now, and has ever since (at least 15 refills later).  Long story short:  Vent it completely, vent it some more, vent it again until no more butane/inerts/whatever gasses off and refill - it fixed my hard-to-light, short-burning-flame insert. Very happy with the single torch.  I've also got the double torch, not so pleased with it - i got it to act like it should after purging, but the dual flames burn through the butane faster. Why, I'd bet it's almost twice as fast.

Question 4

Would this be good for cigars? I saw that the "flame duration" is only 5 seconds and I'm worried that wouldn't be long enough to light my cigars.

Accepted Answer

The 5 second flame duration is listed as part of the total amount of uses per fill. 60 lights per fill when the flame is ignited for 5 seconds each time.
