Lighter Insert - Arc

After considerable thought and research I decided to go with Zippo as my primary lighter and a big part of that was the arc insert. The whole insert system itself was a master stroke in my opinion. I got the double butane torch and the arc at the same time. Despite reading and following the instructions I couldn't get the first arc to ignite. I returned it. I received the replacement shortly thereafter and had the same issue. Then as I was about to give up and return the whole thing I happened to notice a little paper insert in the box that near the bottom mentions a double tap ignition system. Oi! It works like a champ. Perfect fit, excellent construction, clean, safe, and for those that can read easy to use. No issue with the double butane torch whatsoever. For the price they are both simply excellent. Since this experience I have thought of applications for some of the other inserts available and at these prices why not? I read the instruction leaflet and it says press the ignition button and hold it. Be nice if they more prominently displayed the double tap instruction somewhere as it is an excellent safety feature. They should also somehow give users the option of a single press.

Charged it up, put it in my Zippo shell, replacing a perfectly good lighter. But I'm getting tired of replenishing the fluid, as a matter of fact I can't even get fluid. I ordered 2 bottles of Ronsonol back at the beginning of April and never received them. This little doodad lites up my smokes pretty nice. A double press of the activator button and a glowing X fires it right up. It only took about 2 hours to charge it up. It fit perfectly in my classic lighter case. Appearance is pretty cool and modern and versatility is great, it's windproof. At the price, it's a great buy also.

Didn't realize how much money I'd save on butane and lighter fluid. With daily use it lasts about a year or two. Still less money to replace than having to refill or replace cotton and flint. Can prolong it's life you lightly clean the prongs. DON'T USE ON FIREWORKS. The fuse can damage the prongs.

I like that I don't have to buy fluid and flints and fluid won't leak out and burn my leg. The biggest problem is that when it's brand new, the lighter insert won't come out of the Zippo case by hand. I had to use pliers for several weeks. It's at the point now where I can pull it out by hand, so be patient. I smoke 1.5 - 2 packs a day and the battery lasts about 24 hours. It works great in the wind, but it was an adjustment to position the lighter so close to the heat source. I'm used to the flame where the cig. is held a bit higher than the lighter. It's just awkward for me. Zippo advertises that the LED light blinks when it's low, but the light is inside the case so you can't see it. There is no warning when it gets low on battery power, it just quits working, so always have a Bic near by as a back up. I usually plug it into the USB on my laptop and it typically charges in about 30 minutes.

I love this thing. Motorcycle riding smoker. Able to light one at any speed. Remember it only works with a double click. Pressing the switch once does nothing. A safety feature no doubt.

Kind of a hassle to use. Because the arcs are flush with the side guards, you pretty much have to jam whatever your lighting right down on top of them. Another problem is how quickly you deplete the charge, although it is quick to recharge (about 1 hour). I think when I replace this it will be with butane.

This is what you get when you don't want to worry about fuel Flint or Wick works great my last one lasted me over a year that was to be expected ordered another one going to keep one in the drawer these charge up fast for two packs of cigarettes they do fine

Look's so cool

Fast shipping and this insert works like charm !

Inserto esta genial te olvidas de ponerle gasolina. Solo lo cargas con energía y listo

Ürünü alalı 2 ay oldu bir süredir kullanıyorum. Fakat ürün artık ateşleme yapmıyor. Bir daha böyle bir ürün kullanmayı tercih etmeyeceğim. Zippoya yakışmayacak bir ürün malesef.

Good
