Blazer Z-Plus

[ktd]

I had probs with my first one until I changed to Colibri triple refined fuel. My second one I started right off the bat with Colibri and it has worked fine. Like some lighters, I have to hit it twice to light, but now I am conditioned to do so.

Well looks like I am going to have to try the local smoke shop to see if they sell that triple refined stuff. That or run to Reno to a cigar shop and get it there... Hopefully I can find a place nearby that will stock it because I got my Z-Plus and Palio' this afternoon. Very excited to go try my new toys out... now to get a nice box and put some sticks in it.

I love it! Never run out of fuel, just refill every so-many-days (like a week or maybe 2).

Oh, remember to keep it in your pocket if it gets a bit colder. Than it will work ok too, just not if the temp is to low and you left it in the cold.

Mine took a little tweaking to run right, but since then it's been rock solid.

However to get mine to fit into the zippo case properly I have to shim it with a thick piece of paper. If yours is a little loose you may want to try the same thing.

Another option (which I use) is to put a piece of electrical tape on the side that has the two ridges..

I have two of them and think they are great lighters. The fuel tank is a little smaller than I would like and you can't see how much of the fuel is left through the opaque tank, but other than that it's a darn good lighter, and very dependable.

If you are using a knock off Zippo case it may not fit perfectly, but I've never had any problems with Zippo brand cases.

Unfortunately I am using a knock-off zippo case so it does not fit properly. The top does not close completely but I think I have figured that if I bend the hinge on the case out slightly it should close properly. See when the top is closing the hinge rotates in slightly, this then hits the small lip on the side of the case.

Went to my local cigar shop on my lunch and picked up a bottle of quadruple refined Butane brand (I think) butane. I have to wait until I get home to fill it. Also, picked up a CAO Cameroon torpedo for "testing" purposes.

I just got one last week.
It's great -- although a bit tight, had trouble pulling the insert back out again for adjustment. Put a dab of wd40 on the sides and it's fine now.

Nothing like that well known "click-ching" sound of flipping open a Zippo -- it just adds to the whole "ritual" of smoking a cigar.

Go to the local Williams and Sonoma. They sell large cans of Vector 5+ refined butane for their creme brule torches. One can is practically a lifetime supply.
