Zippo Double Flame Torch Insert, Windproof Blue Flame for Standard Cases, Clean Butane Ignition

The Zippo Double Flame Torch Insert is the ultimate upgrade that transforms your classic case into the best cigar lighter and windproof powerhouse, delivering a clean and odorless dual blue flame that preserves the pure flavor of your smoke.

Are you intimidated by the idea of switching from a traditional soft flame to a high-powered torch because you are worried about scorching your premium herbs or messing up the butane refill process? It is a common fear when upgrading your gear; nobody wants to accidentally incinerate their stash or break a brand new accessory just because they pressed the wrong button or held it too close.

That fear of overdoing it often leads you to keep this beast at its lowest setting, or worse, leaving it in a drawer while you go back to cheap disposable lighters that blow out with the slightest breeze and leave a nasty chemical taste in your mouth. You end up missing out on the pure flavor and reliability that a proper torch provides.

But this double torch insert is actually a precision tool designed for you to learn and master through use, and with a little practice, you will quickly shorten the trial-and-error curve to achieve the perfect, clean burn every single time.

What you can expect the first few times

When you first fire up this dual torch, the sheer power and the intense 2300°F blue flame might catch you off guard. It is completely normal to accidentally toast your material a bit too fast or feel like the gas runs out quicker than expected while you are just playing around with the ignition.

You will also notice the satisfying, iconic Zippo click is still there, but the ignition requires a firm, deliberate press of the piezoelectric button. The heat is immediate and highly concentrated, which is exactly what you want for a clean, windproof light outdoors.

Pay close attention to the distance between the flame and your bowl or cigar. Learning to hover the flame just above your material rather than burying it inside is the secret to unlocking the true potential of this insert without wasting fuel or ruining the flavor.

Typical mistakes and how to avoid or fix them

• Holding the flame too close: This scorches your herbs instantly. Tip: Keep the tip of the blue flame at least an inch away and let the radiant heat do the work.
• Using cheap, low-quality butane: This clogs the jets and causes sputtering. Tip: Always use premium, highly refined butane gas to keep the burners clean and reliable.
• Forgetting to bleed the tank before refilling: Air pockets prevent a full refill. Tip: Purge the remaining gas and air with a small tool before injecting new butane.
• Cranking the flame height to the max immediately: This wastes gas and makes the flame unstable. Tip: Start at the lowest setting and gradually increase it until you find a steady double beam.
• Trying to fit it into a Slim or 1935 Replica case: It will get stuck or simply will not fit. Tip: Only use standard-sized classic cases for this specific insert.
• Lighting up while inhaling too hard: The intense heat can be harsh on your throat. Tip: Take slow, gentle pulls while lighting to control the temperature.

How to fine-tune until you find your perfect sweet spot

1. Start by filling the insert with premium butane and setting the flame adjuster at the bottom to the lowest possible setting.
2. Click the ignition to test the flame; if it sputters or does not light, use a small screwdriver to turn the dial up just a fraction.
3. Test the flame outdoors to see how it handles the wind, adjusting the height until it remains stable without roaring too aggressively.
4. When lighting your material, change only your distance first, bringing the flame closer millimeter by millimeter until you get an even cherry.
5. Take mental notes on how long a full 0.9g tank lasts based on your usage frequency, so you know exactly when to plan your next refill.
6. Adjust your inhalation speed depending on the flame height to ensure you get a smooth, flavorful hit every time.

Advantages and benefits of treating it as a learning process

• Total temperature control: You will learn exactly how far to hold the lighter to vaporize or combust perfectly, maximizing the flavor of your stash.
• Unshakable confidence outdoors: Mastering the windproof dual flame means you will never struggle to light up on a windy beach or a mountain hike again.
• Better understanding of maintenance: Learning to bleed and refill properly extends the lifespan of your lighter indefinitely, making it a top-tier choice among Zippo Accessories.
• Zero flavor contamination: By dialing in the clean butane burn, you eliminate the nasty naphtha taste associated with traditional lighter fluid.
• Less frustration and wasted fuel: Finding the optimal flame height means your 60 seconds of burn time per refill will stretch much further.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to really get the hang of this torch insert?

It usually takes just a couple of sessions. Once you get used to the firm piezoelectric button and figure out the optimal distance to hold the 2300°F flame from your material, it becomes second nature.

How do I know if I am using the flame height correctly?

You are using it correctly if the double blue flame is steady, does not sputter, and lights your material quickly without scorching it instantly. If the flame blows itself out from too much pressure, turn it down a notch.

What should I do if I do not like the harsh hit I get at first?

If the hit feels too harsh, you are likely holding the flame too close. Back the lighter away, lower the flame setting, and let the radiant heat gently toast your herbs or cigar instead of blasting it directly.

Will this insert fit my vintage Zippo?

It fits all standard classic cases perfectly. However, it is not compatible with Slim, Armor, or 1935 Replica cases, so check your model before sliding it in.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When I first swapped my classic fluid insert for this double torch, I definitely went overboard. I cranked the flame to the max and ended up scorching a beautiful bowl, completely ruining the terpenes. I was so used to the soft flame dancing around that I did not respect the sheer power of the dual blue jets. I almost went back to my old setup, thinking torches were just too aggressive for a chill session.

But the small change that made the biggest difference was simply turning the dial down and learning to hover. Once I started treating it like a precision tool rather than a flamethrower, it changed the game. Now, whether I am using it with my favorite weed pipes or lighting up on a windy terrace, the clean butane taste and the reliability are unbeatable. Plus, keeping that classic metallic click while getting modern performance is just incredibly satisfying.
