Z Plus Zippo Insert

[tx_tuff]

I have had mine close to two years now. And like I said earlier on in this thread have not had a problem with it at all. The only torch lighter I have that has light every single time I have tired it (of course with fuel in it)!

Had mine about 6 to 8 months and it works as good as new!

Mine never lights on the first time. But it still works okay on the 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Quick Q
I just got my Z insert today and I seem to be stupid. The lighter wont light for some reason. Its filled. It has the gas up to the highest point. It has a good spark. Whats wrong?

[tx_tuff]

Did you bleed it before you filled it up? If not bleed it and get everything out of it. Turn it as low as it will go and then fill it back up. Then give the fuel time to warm back up and you should only have to turn it one third to half way up. All the way is to much. Good luck.

I got one today as well. Full up is too much for it to light.

Stupid Q how do i bleed it?NVM GOT IT lol

Although I really like the Z Insert, when I'm at work I'm forced to keep a Blazer in my pocket. I'd be refilling the Z Insert four times per day... <G>

I've noticed that too. The smaller tank is the downside of the Z-Plus, but for those who don't smoke a lot it's not a problem. The tank on my Blazer CG-001 could easily light a box and keep on going. But it is nice to use my Zippo again.

This may sound dumb, but mine will no longer light if it is IN THE CASE. If I take it out, it lights fine. Hmmm.

Sounds like it's grounding out on the case. Send it in to Blazer for repair/replacement.

I love the insert, it lights on a fairly regular basis and seems so easy to direct the flame to get an even burn started

I've got the Z also and enjoy being able to use the old Zippo, but have been looking for a CG-001 Blazer for the same reason. The only people I can find selling them on the net only ship UPS, and all I have is a PO box.

After reporting this phenomanon to the manufacturer, they said they would just send me another one. Good support for a strange problem. BTW, I'm still using the old one, just taking it out of the case to light my cigars.
