Are you talking about the butane insert? I haven't tried it, but I really want to.

If we are talking about the insert, I got one a couple weeks back and it worked like a champ!

Unfortunately I only had it for a week. I bought it while on a trip and gifted it to a BOTL at the airport in PR.

The zippo butane inserts are really really good. Pretty large tank, so I don't need to carry a can of fluid like with my 3x torch. I would recomend it.

No, I'm talking about a can of Zippo branded butane fuel.

The Zippo Butane. I think has 2 categories.
1) Zippo ":-)BLU" Single Torch Flame Lighter. For under $10 Bucks it's a nice lighter.
For those who have an old Flint & Zippo Lighter. They make a Butane Insert. It's the Z-Plus. Just pull out the old guts & pop in the new butane one. Holds a medium amount of butane. Nice jet flame. Under $10 & refillable.
Available at Cigar International, JR Cigar & Ebay.

Good luck,
Lenny

Zippo butane is triple refined and works fine.

I picked some up here locally when my lighter finally went out on me. Since I will be flying back out in a few more weeks, I didn't want a huge can of the stuff. The size is perfect for land traveling, but it doesn't seem to get along to well with my Xikar. I find when I light it I know have an abundance of flare ups, and then the lighter died on me just 4 cigars after I filled it! Even my coworkers commented on how I had just filled the lighter. I'll be using it for 4 more weeks, so I'll see how it goes.
