I have tried the Z-PIPE insert but my first 2 fell in bits after just a few weeks, then tried a Thunderbird one, lasted 2 Months then packed up, now I use Genuine Zippo Butane inserts and they have been very reliable with no problems.
This is my experience with exactly. If you want to use a zippo plus butane, the newer zippo-made brand inserts are the best I’ve found. Zpipe and Thunderbird simply didn’t last and I tried multiples of them. Apart from an old boy, the new zippo brand inserts easily get my vote.
The side light one is the one I was inquiring about. Probably should have clarified. Sounds like it might be worth the
$20 to try. View attachment 279954
