I did my usual flame height adjuster mod on it though, I wasn't happy with the initial stop point on it. Just slide that white plastic triangle stopper off the dial, find an acceptable max flame height, then replace the stopper.

Matt... Thanks for the tip! I finally came out of the stone age and popped for one today... Should be here by mid-week (along with a few sticks)... With the benefit of your advice, I'll give it a tune-up, if necessary.

That's great. I really love mine and am using it more and more. Especially since I fine tuned the flame using txmatt's tip. Just use a small screw driver to pop that white plastic triangle stopper off the dial, then use the screwdriver to adjust the flame adjust screw to find an optimal flame height, then replace the stopper. I replace the stopper so it points in the middle so I can still raise the flame further if I want to. Enjoy.

Ive got one of those in with Jack Daniels on it instead of Harley. (i can afford JD most the time...harley aint ever gonna be in the budget)

I have not yet purchased a Z-plus. Still using my Space 6. I think my next lighter is gonna be the PB-207 that Txmatt talks about all the time.

Re: Review: Z-Plus Torch Lighter Insert

I just bought one of these after reading this thread and it works great. Wish I found out about this a long time ago, as I've missed not being able to use my Zippo for lighting cigars. Not a problem anymore with the Z-Plus!!!

Even if your local place doesn't have them, eBay has plenty. Got mine off of eBay for $12.50 plus shipping.

You GOTTA get one!!!

Re: Review: Z-Plus Torch Lighter Insert

Great lighter inserts for sure! It might have been said already, but nothing ruins a great lighter faster than crappy Ronson butane. Use Vector or something along those lines and it'll last forever.

May want to check out Famous Smoke Shop ($9.95)... I bought one there, along with a box of cigars with the "Free Shipping" tagline... No shipping charge for either the twigs or the lighter.

I have both the z-plus insert (which I love, can't beat it for the price) and the Zippo MPL. The MPL is sweet, but the click is a little firm to start.

Re: Review: Z-Plus Torch Lighter Insert

I just wanted to add my two cents. This is the best torch I have used to date. Its consitent, its easy to fill, its slim and fits in your pocket. For the money, this lighter can not be beat. If anyone is on the fence about this, dont be. BUY THIS LIGHTER.
