This thing drains butane like crazy. One day of using is about all I can get. It works but it’s insane how fast it’s out of fluid.

I've been using these inserts for several years. They have always been reliable, maybe a little sputtering when brand new but now lights 4 out of 5 times on the first try. That's as good as any name brand lighter I own at less than third of the price! Fits my standard Zippo case just fine.

Piece of junk. Arrived defective out of the box. Lighter USA won't accept a return, even though their homepage clearly states free returns. Vector requires me to pay shipping to and from. Lighters USA and Vector are the worst.

The insert fits perfectly, adjustments are made easily, refills are a breeze. Initial installation I was hesitant because of how tight the fuel canister is when inserted into the housing but after install I would highly recommend.

Excellent lighterThis lighter beats Zippo'z insert. Not only can one see the remaining fuel, but it lights much more reliably than Zippo's offering.
