I carry a Zippo pretty much everywhere - if not on me , in my vehicle console.

Im not a smoker, so my little fire torch does not get regular use --- but im disappointed with how quick the fluid evaporates, - as when i do need the thing, its typically just a little brass paperweight.

Im guessing that if you actually use these regularly its not as big an issue but i have been eying the butane or electonic inserts for these now

Wondering if you gents have had any luck with these? And yes, i usually have a Bic or one of the long nose BBQ lighters floating around so i'm rarely completely without a flame source -- I just like the traditional look of the Zippo - reminds me of my dad , and feel like they are worth a little bit of extra trouble for that alone

Those that have them seem to like them. I too carry a Zippo everyday and am not a smoker. Like the nostalgia from the sound to the aroma, reminds me of my great-grandmother. My wife’s a smoker so I light her smokes and use it for other things here and there throughout the week. It takes all of 60 seconds a week to top off the fluid and a bonus over butane is that it doesn’t mind when it’s really cold.

Was looking on Zippo's website and they have doubble or single flame inserts that they offer, and of course Scamazon has several differnt ones. I would use what Zippo has personally. Have you tried a gasket to help with the evaporation yet?

Saw a screwdriver and a flashlight insert the other day

Tobacco Exchange in Moore (just south of Best Buy} had them. they work great for me for Cigar lighting purposes.
