Lighting with a zippo

[TCBSmokes]

That's my biggest issue, since lately I've only had 1 or 2 a week it seems every time I grab the thing I need to refill it. No local b&m's/lounge around here so can't try there. Maybe I'll try to tack a ronson onto my next order to give one a try. I have seen z-plus and Thunderbird butane inserts for a zippo which would be kind of cool, could still use my zippo but with without the constant refueling.
Might have to give one a try.

Yeah, a member on PUFF once mentioned and demonstrated on video that you could use the insert from a Bugatti inside a zippo and have a butane zippo. Best of both worlds!

However, bear in mind, some butanes have trouble lighting in sub-freezing temps! So I'm actually in the market for a Zippo for wintertime use.

Zippo purchase justified! Now, just to add a few other items for the free shipping and all is good.

For The Win .

1. My understanding is that the insides of the Bugatti B-1001 will fit in a standard Zippo. About $15 on CBid. Nice thing is that the insert has a clear fuel tank, so you can see exactly how full it is.

2. I've seen outdoor retailers discuss problems with butane in cold weather. Better butane will work better in colder temps.

I can confirm that the Bugatti insert fits inside a zippo. I'm running 3 zippos with butane inserts (1 is a soft flame insert).

As an cold weather smoker, I can confirm that butane will not light if it gets too cold. To combat this, I keep my lighter in my pants pocket so it's against my body and then I don't have any trouble with em lighting.
