Zippo Yellow Flame Pipe Lighter Insert

Dieser Zippo-Einsatz soll für Pfeifenraucher sein, ist dafür jedoch völlig ungeeignet! Die länge der Flamme kann nicht eingestellt werden und hat mehr mit einem Flammenwerfer gemeinsam, als mit einem Pfeifenfeuerzeug. Ich habe auch normale Zippos mit Benzin und da auch einen Einsatz für Pfeifenraucher. Die funktionieren, sind wertig und halten ewig. Mit Gasfeuerzeugen scheint Zippo leider keine Erfahrung zu haben. Also, Pfeifenraucher - Fingerweg, mit diesem Einsatz werdet ihr nicht glücklich.

Solid build, works better than any other replacement insert. Only issue, I don’t believe it filled properly the first couple times. This can always be an issue with any refillable butane lighter. They can just fills with gas and doesn’t actually start to build liquid. No level view window, top it off well. I was debating on -1 or 2 stars. It’s annoying.

Yellow flame pipe insert works great once you get it in the casing. It fills easily with butane. The flint rolls pretty smoothly without too much effort, though I am getting a callous on my thumb! The flame comes out the side for lightning my pipe. That works. The only problem is it’s made for right-handed people and I am predominantly left-handed, but I can’t ding them for that. You have to use your right hand. I am adjusting!

Love the fluid pipe lighters and had high hopes for the butane. But, it was a major failure. At least for a tobacco pipe anyway. The beauty of the fluid pipe lighters is the flame goes up. This allows you to draw the flame in and have much better control. The butane shoot the flame down. Okay, if you can get an extremely fast light. But since it shoots the flame down and the flame will naturally want to go up, this thing heats up extremely fast. So if you are looking for a finger roaster, this is your lighter. These problems become even more extreme if you are left handed. Will keep with Zippos fluid pipe lighters and would suggest you do the same.

I got this insert to replace an original lighter fluid one for lighting my tobacco pipes and so that I could use a sentimental Zippo body. The insert came with everything but the butane. Getting the butane in was a breeze with a zippo fuel can. The flint wheel, when still brand new, can chew into your thumb. This does not have an "lid open = gas on" gas switch. You have to hold the button down like on any disposable lighter. With my big hands/fingers the gas button is just about too small to hit consistently while striking. Once I got the hang of it, this has become my favorite pipe lighter. The gentle flame is of sufficient size to get to those moist half-bowls some aromatics tend to form. In my old Zippo body, the famous Zippo "click" is still crisp, as is opening and closing it. Old dog, new tricks! Remember to occasionally wipe down the chrome where the flame comes out and where the flint throws sparks, and you'll have a beautiful lighter to puff away on your pipes with for a long time.
