Jet flame lighter

Most petrol lighters leak or evaporate to quickly.
Z plus or thunderbird insert is the way to go. I have the flint/butane insert. IMO the best choice as no piezo to go bad.

I've got the thunderbird in my zippo, I use it all the time at work, I was thinking of just getting another

Good to know that Windmills are a bit iffy.

I have Zippo inserts too, both soft and torch flame. Other than one which leaked, they have been ok
The nice thing is that you get to choose the Zippo to go with your EDC/shoes/hat/whatever

Here's a few of mine:

I thought I'd replied to this thread already    obviously not 

Anyhoooo .... I've never owned a jetflame lighter that's worked properly by the time its reached its third filling. I don't know why, but they just don't seem to burn like they do when they've new. I have a few zippos ... don't use them often though. I have a couple of IMCOs which see a lot more use than the zippos, but they're still not my "regular" lighter.

For me you just can't beat a Clipper lighter (regular or mini) as they hold fuel longer than the others, they're reliable and dead easy to fill and change the flints, and of course they're cheap. I do like using my IMCOs, but I'll always keep going back to my Clippers for cheap, simple, hassle free reliability. Also, if you drop a Clipper lighter whilst using it, the flame goes out - not so with a petrol lighter!

I don't climb mountains so altitude isn't a problem - and even in the strongest winds, I can still always find a way of lighting a cigarette with a Clipper 

Good points there Al maybe i'm looking for something too fancy

I learned this all the hard way.  I won't ever trust ANY piezo lighter again.
