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.

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.

Zippo makes great products. This is a nice size for my hand while lighting my pipes. Soft flame to protect the tobacco without burning. It fit into my lighter case perfectly.

Good but not for the reason you’d want or think. I like the insert, I own both the pipe one and the standard soft yellow flame. I got the pipe one thinking it had the hole going through both sides so that you’d hold the flame over your pipe and as you draw, the flame would be drawn/sucked down towards the pipe, similar to the standard (non-butane) pipe insert. However, one side is closed, meaning you’d have to tip the lighter towards the pipe or bowl, which leads to the flame being near your fingers and burning you. BUT… this thing is a great option for outdoor use compared to the standard yellow flame. It’s slightly windproof due to the closed back so the flame keeps going much better in slight wind than the regular butane yellow flame insert. So ironically, the one I intended to use not for pipes will be used for pipes, and the one I intended to use for pipes is better for using not with pipes.

I want to give this 5 stars, just for the fact that it solves the traditional (and infuriating) Zippo fluid evaporation. The flame length is long, like others have said, but just don't hold it right up to the pipe. The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that there's no hole on the other side, unlike all other pipe lighters. This causes the flame to flow back onto the lighter and your thumb. Not a problem if you just puff super quickly. But that's a design flaw. Still, at least I can use my Zippo again. I stopped carrying mine since it ran out of fluid so fast.
