Sent off my beloved zippo pipe lighter for a repair ( loose hinge on lid) they not only fixed it better than when I bought it but per my request sent my old insert back AND gave me a new one for no charge, so I was able to put that in another regular zippo case and now have two zippo pipe lighters. Totally unexpected, I am now more of a zippo fan than ever before!
Thank you Zippo!

Zippo is an amazing company, with outstanding customer service. I exclusively use Zippo lighters for lighting my pipes. I am not a big fan of the 'pipe' insert, I like the 'regular' insert better. Either way, Zippo in great. I'm happy it worked out for you.
I do like the reliability of my Zippo, but find the fluid evaporates to quickly. I might have to try the petroleum jelly trick or the plumbers tape trick.
Uncleyoda, by 'pipe insert' do you mean the cap at the top of the lighter? Does it really work better without it?

When you refill the Zippo fuel, you have to take the gizmo out of the shell. A pipe insert is identical, but instead of the flame going out of the top, the pipe insert has two opening on each side. You hold the zippo horizontally over your pipe and draw flame down onto the tobacco.

Yup, that's the Zippo I have. I didn't know if the only difference was the very top part that always seems to fall out.
Winton- this one, yes?

I can only enjoy a pipe maybe a few times a month if I am lucky, so virtually every time I go to light I need to refill.
