Trying to find Thunderbird insert in Canada

[hunter]

The name says it all, I've been looking for the thunderbird insert to put in my zippo but the only ones I can find are in the US and they can't/won't ship it up to me in Alberta. I was wondering if any of my Canadian Pipe-smoking Brethren would be able to help me on my search?
Thanks in advance!

I had no idea what you were talking about until I googled it. I then realized, I have one and use it every time I smoke. VECTOR THUNDERBIRD
I paid WAY more than that for mine, but I got it from my local B&M. I think the reason no one will ship it is because it comes loaded with butane, which is an no-no for shipping. If anyone wants to help you out, I'd suggest they drain the lighter of any fuel and then send.

Not doable Hunter unless you get a friend in the US to bring it back for you or go for a holiday. That's how I'm going to get mine.

@Hunter
I have been trying to get one for quite some time now and am having the same problem as you.

If I had a way to get back INTO the States, I'd bring 'em up, but alas, no passport & no enhanced license...
