Sometimes have a hard time lighting w/ flint wheel. Have many variants of this and it is my "go to" for replacing zippo inserts. Use 5x butane and you are good.

I am very pleased with thunderbird vector lighter insert and I will definitely get more for my other zippos. Best gift for my pipes!!!

Cons: A little tight to insert and remove. Sometimes it takes 4 to five strikes to light.
Pros: Easy to fill, once lit flame stays on without the need to hold the striker down so your fingers do not burn (unlike the Piezo tye). No taste of fuel while you feel as though you are using a traditional Zippo lighter. -
Great zippo style inserts!

I have used these inserts, along with two Old Boys, for some time and find them to be reliable. In order to operate well, they need to be cleaned from time to time with compressed air and an alcohol-soaked Q-tip run through the burner chamber and along the flint wheel The only downside is the translucent fuel chamber makes it hard to see fuel levels. I top mine off every other time I am going to be smoking. At this time, KGM Vector has a lifetime, no-proof warranty on these lighters; just send $5 for s&h. There are piezo models on the market but I prefer the flint version. Uses standard flints. Royal Meerschaum's prices are very good on these, shipping cost was reasonable, and I received them quickly. I would order from them again.
