Thunderbird Vector Lighter Insert - Regular Gas

Best lighter on the market.
Customer service at its finest!

I brought this insert here as they are impossible to find in Europe.

The reason I brought this specific insert is because Zippo released this year their "Soft flame butane insert" and I thought that it lacked the ability to stay lit (as you have to hold down the button)
This insert is great, you will have some slight trouble getting the insert inside or out a zippo case the first times but after that it works well. The transparent tank is very useful as you can see how much fluid you have in there and the flame adjustment is also a very useful feature.

The only warning I will give is to be careful when letting the flame burn for over 30 seconds, the wheel will get VERY hot.

Thunderbird G Insert is a tight fitting insert, but once you use it for while it will fit normally like any other insert. Flame adjustment is superb. Clear color makes it easier to fill with even the cheapest butane. Really comfortable striking, the wheel is slightly smaller than the lighter fluid zippo I think. It also is windproof somewhat with the wind guard. I like it over the other Zippo butane inserts for sure.

I purchased this insert for my brand new Zippo. Was frustrated about how the original liquid lighter fuel insert would dry up in 2-3 days (even after taking the original Zippo insert out and doing all the "tricks"). I only have had in my Zippo for a couple days, but it lights regularly so far. Only 4 stars because it was VERY difficult to take out after original insertion - literally had to use needle-nosed pliers, which marred the "chimney" up a bit, and even then took quite an effort. ? Hope this is a one time thing.

Just received it this week and so far am very happy. Is exactly what I was looking for, soft flame with no smell or evaporation issue. Time will tell if it lasts long term, I’m sure hoping so.

It's a great alternative to the traditional Zippo lighter - the lighter fuel is sealed and wont evaporate over time and the flame is great. Tested it in the windy Balkan winter conditions - it works fine.
I recommend the product.
