I got double flame one for my grandma's old Zippo. It never worked well and I was kinda disappointed. So I did open it up, moved knob about 45 degrees and put everything back (brass limiter included). Now it works like a charm. Kinda sad to see that company like Zippo allows this bad quality in their products. But luckily I found this video and got everything to work as they should do.

Mine don’t fire at all, thought I needed butane (didnt work at all) now I’m gonna try this once I find my glasses repair kit. I got 2 AC/DC edition ones I wanna use I find these are better and probably safer then disposable lighters, I have 2 disposable ones but I just don’t feel safe with them. A because I can’t get them to light B for some reason I feel like that’s the reason we lost our house in South Carolina.

Thanks so much for the information, it helped immensely. After following your instructions, I was able to get 432 lights out of it and it lasted 2 weeks for me. I did have to adjust the flame every so often at 122 lights, then at 280 lights and then at 375 before it finally gave out at 432. It's so nice to have this last for 2 weeks before refilling (according to my usage). Oh, like you, I used Colibri Premium Butane also. Thanks again! :)

Try "Fasfill" butane. It's x5 times refined, relatively cheap for a 300ml bottle, arcs first time 9/10 times & is just absolutely great. You can turn the flame lower than with Zippo butane, which means saving more fuel.

Agree with the others. I liked my normal zippo but wanted one I could trust to light if I hadn't used it in a month. So I got the butane insert, thinking it would just always light. Certainly it had to bet better than a Bic for this price. But after only a few uses it behaved exactly as you stated. Certainly nothing I could rely on for my camping gear. Leaving me with two lighters I like but really can't use. With your fix I'm once again hopeful that I can use this in my camping gear. Now if it doesn't work, without that limiter I can turn up the flow and have a working lighter again! Thanks this makes me feel a lot less stupid for buying a couple nice Zippo's after visiting their Museum in Bradford PA.

Thank you for posting this video. Based on your video this is how I fixed my butane insert. I bleed out the butane and added new butane. I then removed the metal plate and the O ring. I moved the flame adjustment knob back and forth and then set it past +. I was satisfied with the size of the flame and put it back together. I was glad that I did not have to remove to brass limiter. It is now 99% reliable.

The link to your video should be a part of the Zippo instruction manual. I just bought the single flame. Initially the flame was good in the middle position then aftet just a few clicks I needed to take out the brass limiter. Now I can adjust it and it works every time. I think Zippo need to be aware of this fault in their product.

I've no idea where my previous comment went but perhaps someone didn't like my opinion. Firstly, thanks for showing the inner workings of the lighter and how to remove the metal and rubber 'limiter' things. Secondly, apart from learning how to fix things together, this is completely unnecessary for many who own this lighter insert. I've just nearly broken mine doing all this, all for the sake of learning how to do it! Maybe the cheap crappy Butane isn't good enough but I had to bleed the lighter and refill more than once. I was getting hissing and all sorts but then I realised I probably wasn't using the Butane lighter refill properly 😂. The last time I was much more forceful in the filling stage and it started working again .... albeit no matter how much to the + direction on the adjustment, I was not getting an 'obnoxiously huge' flame like you were getting ... I want an obnoxiously huge flame 😂
