Only used them for a short time back when I had a home with a cigar room so I could a soft flame.
BTW, if you know of any medical ones, other than the “sexy nurse” stuff, let me know. I should probably get them!

That’s Nice. I’ve been looking at some Bancroft table lighter’s
"Why is it I always get my best ideas while shaving?" ~ Albert Einstein
Some of those are very nice, there are several different sizes and models of those.
Not a Zippo but have seen these lately on the Web. Thought why not give ‘em a Shot. Zorro’s a Chinese made Zippo like knock-off.
I went for there Brass War Armor High polished Lighter.
I also got me there Brass insert.
Look at the fill door it has O Rings to stop Fuel Evaporation so Fast.
The walls of the lighter are thicker as are the Hinges.
I thought I could take The Bottom off the Insert and put it on the lighter Insert
It’s supposed to be Inner changeable.
?????
Can be Purchased on AliExpress.

Got em.
The Zorro War Armor is Massive thick Brass. Good for a table lighter to heavy to carry in a pocket. It has a rubber Gasket when closed to reduce Evaporated Fluid. Will see about that ?
The other one is just a Insert with a flip up Chimney. When put in a Zippo case fits great. It has a flip up door with a Gasket also along with one on the bottom plate.
I Know I Know it’s Not a Zippo
I’m Guilty of Blasphemy.
Forgive Me.

Nice! I have that one with a pipe insert. What insert did you put in?My Newest Acquisition a all Brass one.
I needed a brass one to go with my new Insert. Found one on EBay Case only for $7.25 new. Not bad.

the one a few posts up.Interested to hear later if you notice it actually does help stop/reduce evaporation better vs the normal zippo insert!
Will do I filled it up a few days ago.
Testing it out.

@GearNoir , hey Chris they also sell 3 different Zippo Branded Butane inserts now too. For butane they have to be sealed so no evaporation with these, but I would not recommend them with a pipe as you can screw up a nice piece of Briar real quick with a torch.Oh! Duh Chris
