This guys accent was just too damn hilarious. LMBO

How do you cut things with it? This doesnt look like a very practical knife...

Nick: "I dont smoke unless i'm on fire" *IM FUCKIN DEAD*

I smoke cigars. The torch insert makes lighting a cigar a non-issue. It makes using a zippo to light a stogie more realistic.

I don't smoke, but sometimes I like to carry a lighter simply because it's useful to have. I switched over from Bic to Zippos recently because I think Zippos are neat and pretty things to carry everyday. I learned about fuel evaporation when I ran out of fuel one day... It's a disappointing thing because, being a non-smoker, I get very little use out of every fill up. Thanks for the review, this product will save me headaches. I bought the one that works analogously to the original Zippos where the flame keeps going until you close the lid. Can't wait to get it.

Great that you reviewed this. I've had one for a couple years. It's perfect to replace the zippo insert in the custom zippo cases a lot of EDC guys are making (black snow customs, wastelandoddities...) and is the ultimate lighter for paracord projects and cigars. Thanks!

Size comparison to Delica and Rat 1?😉

man I'm going to have to say you are one of the most entertaining reviewers I have seen in a long time and you gave a fantastic review not that my words mean much but thank you what a refreshing video now if I had four hands I would give you four thumbs up if I could push the like button a thousand times I would do so

I have heard so many great things about these inserts but I really like the original Zippo fuel. When I was in the hospital last and went for smokes I only used my Zippo which lasted for 15 days and then with the extra case from Zippo where you can store some lighter fluid I got another 10 days out of it. I can see that this would be the way better solution but for me the Zippo would lose it's charme.

That "burn yourself " point isn't a great one. Would you point the tip of your knife at your off-hand while cutting anything?

Here are 3 reasons I collect pocket knives: I like the beauty of them. I like the feel of them and I like the sound they make opening and closing them. Although I don't smoke I own about 20 Zippo lighters for the same reasons I collect knives. Since I don't actually use the lighters I don't put fluid in them because it would just evaporate. But I will buy one of these inserts just to have a functional lighter. Thanks for the review, Nick.

How do you SHARPEN this Gem ???????

You can get a butane insert that produces a regular flame if the torch is too much. It does use a flint and spark wheel like a regular zippo insert though.

I use a Xicar torch lighter with a similar but double flame and another thing on the good side is that these flames are virtually wind proof when lighting up. I think I'll pick one of these inserts up. I've been wondering for years why Zippo hadn't done this themselves. Must be a tradition thing. Great review as always!

My absolute favourite thing about Zippos is the versatility. I once ran out of my lighter fluid and used 99% isopropyl for a month. It worked just fine.

I'd like to pick it up, just because it feels much more reliable than Bic lighters, but more long lasting compared to regular Zippos.

Brother your accent is the best!

Man your voice and accent is so cool lol I bet you are the life of the party hu? 😂

Very cool product. Thanks for sharing.

I have had one for years its terrific

You missed the fatal flaw (and key advantage of the original insert) here: you have to keep pressing the button to keep getting flame. Zippos (and that peanut lighter you prefer) are more useful than butane lighters because you can light them, stand them up on a surface, and use two hands to do things like melting and shaping cordage, sealing plastic seams, setting heat shrink tubing, etc. Sure, this butane torch doesn't leak fuel fumes like an old Zippo but it robs the lighter of much of its functionality as a tool for applying heat in a controlled way

Great review. Thanks Nick.

Hey Nick - great review. Since you're now doing lighters from time to time how about reviewing a Plazmatic X? Arguably kind of gimmicky but USB chargeable and ignites things using charged plasma, which is deeply cool.

But does it take glock mags?

Have you used the Tactile Turn Gist any? It looks like a solid fountain pen for EDC with a variety of elegant design options. It might tempt you to get back into fountain pens for EDC. It's certainly caught my eye.

I used to think these butane blowers were something else but after a month they stop throwing a spark.

The original zippo insert does not "suck" it is just different. I bought two of these inserts and the first one never worked well and the second stopped working within a month.

I still flare up the occasional Marlboro.. Nasty, nasty habit.. I like the looks and idea of Zippos..I've purchased a few good ones with the intent to buy more.. But, as you said the fluid evaporates in about a week. Flints can wear out pretty quick..A cheap Bic lighter can last months.. If the 80s come back, a Bic is much better for hitting the pipe too (wasn't really my thing).. Anyway, I heard the O ring on the peanut lighters keeps the fluid from evaporating.. Can someone confirm if this is true ? Or, how long does it take for the peanut lighter fluid to evaporate ? Thanks...

With great power comes great responsibility ,

How well does this work in windy conditions?

Hey Nick! You should try the exotac firesleeve, cheers from México.

Please review some of the plasma/Edison/Tesla lighters! I have several and wont go back to traditional liquid fueled lighters. I light my grill and fires with the stick version and the wife lights her cigs with the smaller version.... They are cheap and micro USB rechargeable.... Wind proof too! Also... They are geek cool! Every time I use one or the other in a social situation, several people want to see what it is and how it works... Just search "plasma lighters" on Amazon to get a whole bunch of options available...

Nick, When do we find out the results for the "I am nick Shabazz" contest?

Wish I still smoked Have a draw full sentimental zippos

The voice. It’s so funny.

I've just come to the grand conclusion that you can't beat a Bic Lighter for EDC... LOL :)

Since its fuel changer is air tight, is the lighter water proof/resistant?

When you said 'A regular zippo insert sucks'. That means that you have absolutely zero understanding of the value of a zippo. And i ain't kidding on that.

You just showed us how to take it apart but you FORGOT to show where to put the NANO OIL !...

I need power in my flammable life.

The mini BIC lighter is still the lighter of my choosing.

I've owned a Zippo or 2. But in the end, they're a lighter, and honestly, a not very good lighter for out in the scrub. I Bic or 2 take up much less room than a Zippo, a container of fluid and the spare wicks and flints. In my humble opinion, Zippo's are good as nostalgia pieces and might look okay in a display case, but they're not a very functional item. Believe me, I really wanted my first Zippo to be my go to lighter. But they're too high maintenance. Kinda like having a cheap steel folder and having to have a stash of replacement blades because you can only cut with it 26 times before the blade becomes unusable.

Link? Don't make me copy and paste - too lazy ;P

iS THIS GUY DOING A BIT WITH THAT VOICE ??

These shorter reviews should say "A Quick Shabazz Review."

you forgot the Batman mask lol

it still sounds like a zippo at least, but zippo's taste better for smoking

The original insert sux? After all this time? Nah...

Cigar lighter

Baustonn

Why don't you just call these videos "A Quick Shabazz"?
