Arc Insert

Easy to charge. Super sturdy it is a zippo.fits perfectly and functions flawlessly. Good part of my collection need to have it

After considerable thought and research I decided to go with Zippo as my primary lighter and a big part of that was the arc insert. The whole insert system itself was a master stroke in my opinion. I got the double butane torch and the arc at the same time. Despite reading and following the instructions I couldn't get the first arc to ignite. I returned it. I received the replacement shortly thereafter and had the same issue. Then as I was about to give up and return the whole thing I happened to notice a little paper insert in the box that near the bottom mentions a double tap ignition system. Oi! It works like a champ. Perfect fit, excellent construction, clean, safe, and for those that can read easy to use. No issue with the double butane torch whatsoever. For the price they are both simply excellent. Since this experience I have thought of applications for some of the other inserts available and at these prices why not? I read the instruction leaflet and it says press the ignition button and hold it. Be nice if they more prominently displayed the double tap instruction somewhere as it is an excellent safety feature. They should also somehow give users the option of a single press.

Pretty cool. I always keep a lighter in my emergency kit along with a blade and first aid gear. The problem with carrying my zippo with fuel in it is the fuel evaporated after a week or 10 days. Not sure how safe that is but it weirds me out the fuel would evaporate so fast. So when I saw the option to upgrade the igniter, I decided to try it out. There isn’t a big delay on ignition except I do notice you have to hit the button twice to activate the device. I assume this is a safety feature to prevent accidental ignition. Once it does activate, it has a low buzzing noise and will burn materials just as fast if not quicker than a regular flame. A weird thing that maybe I find interesting alone is that wind does affect the plasma as it does move the electrons around. Nothing too drastic. But noticeable. It wont knock out the igniter. If I had one complaint it is that I wish the prongs were longer and stuck up a little higher so you don’t have to tip the device up into whatever you are lighting. I guess it is another safety feature as not to zap the metallic finish on the case. No more messy fuel spills trying to fill. Works when I need it to work without worrying if the fuel evaporated after 10 days. Plasma igniter is neat. It is a tighter fit putting this in and pulling it out of the lighter shell. Tighter than the fuel insert. But the interchangeability with the standard shells allows you to carry multiple lighters for different needs with different looks. With this, I took out the pipe lighter insert from the faux wood zippo and put this in. I miss the cool opening of the Zippo where you light it in two quick showy moves. It takes two presses of the button to switch on for safety. Possibly, and maybe I’m wrong, but this seems slightly safer around small kids than a flame lighter that can continue to burn when left open. I miss the smell of the fuel. I found it relaxing when I got hit by massive panic attacks.

very cool lighter insert (it doesn't come with a case), now i don't have to worry about fluid leaking out over time or having butane to refill it, since it doesn't use those, it uses electricity! sometimes the electricity doesn't create an arc for a couple seconds seems like that only happens if it has been sitting for a while and it figures itself out pretty quickly. I am still confident that this thing will work forever. it is slightly heavier than a standard old school zippo insert but its a small difference in my opinion. MY ONLY REAL COMPLAINT is that it uses micro usb instead of usb c. i know its something really small and stupid that doesn't really matter but I dream of a future where everything i own charges with the same cable. If zippo released a usb c version i would buy it instantly i really like this lighter.

Works great

Kind of a hassle to use. Because the arcs are flush with the side guards, you pretty much have to jam whatever your lighting right down on top of them. Another problem is how quickly you deplete the charge, although it is quick to recharge (about 1 hour). I think when I replace this it will be with butane.

I love it. I’ve always loved Zippo lighters since I was a kid. Nothing like the sound of a Zippo opening up before lighting up a cigarette or a doobie. I never liked the stinky fuel. The torch is better but this is the best in my opinion. No fuel. No flint. No mess. I like the high gloss polished finish, even on the spring cam which is a dark colored metal on the classic insert. It has a nice weight to it, even heavier than the classic fuel insert which makes the lighter feel nice in your hand. I can’t wait to buy more zippos now. The only bad thing I can say about the arc lighter insert is that it doesn’t fit the shell as tightly as the classic insert. Slightly looser fit but I T works just fine. Five stars.

Good material, maybe need to upgrade connector to be type C

Inserto esta genial te olvidas de ponerle gasolina. Solo lo cargas con energía y listo

Conforme à la description – Je vous fais confiance – Je reviendrais vers vous en cas de besoin

Ürünü alalı 2 ay oldu bir süredir kullanıyorum. Fakat ürün artık ateşleme yapmıyor. Bir daha böyle bir ürün kullanmayı tercih etmeyeceğim. Zippoya yakışmayacak bir ürün malesef.

Good
