April, just wanted to say that have used the lighter since it arrived and have had very few problems. pretty dependable, maybe adjustable flame and a place to fit an extra flint so you have one when the first wears out. thanks again

Upon further use, I now agree with most people in here. This lighter is flawed in many ways. The carbon build up on this is unimaginable. It probably only lights about 1 out of 20 times now.

Luckily I just got a Xikar Element.

I've noticed that I get better results with the butane that I already had and not the butane that came with the lighter. I had problems at first with getting it to light but the new butane has taken some of that away.

just some feedback. I like the lighter's design and feel, although I feel that it detracts from the nature of Zippo lighters. Most importantly (to me anyway), customizing. I really like Zippos for their ease of use and countless interchangeable cases. You can't do this with the Blu. Also, I dislike how I can't adjust the flame (unless I just didn't figure it out)

As a few other stated, the carbon buildup on this is pretty rediculous. Using mine a few times a week the "jet" needed to be cleaned / blown out with compressed air regularly, or else it wouldn't light at all.

Thanks again for all of your feedback! We'll be sure to pass it along to our engineers.

Just figured I would put in some input, I was at the Zippo Store/Museum a couple weeks ago and was picking out a new lighter, biggest turn off's was that

1. $60-$70 Price tag, this is 3x what a regular zippo costs, and more expensive than other good butane torch lighters

2. It doesn't look like a traditional zippo

So needless to say I ended up with a traditional zippo for $20 and a $3 Ronson Butane Lighter, I really think you should look into producing some kind of butane insert like the 3rd party manufacturers have already done. I would be all over that, a GOOD butane lighter to fit into my zippo cases.

yeah...I bet a good dual flame could be made to fit in the zippo case...take a zplus shrink the jet slilghtly and double it...
