What's your favorite torch or lighter to use with the Vapcap?

It looks like Zippo's taking another stab at Butane jet flame lighters:

https://www.zippo.com/collections/zippo-lighter-inserts

Single flame inserts are $14.95usd and double flame inserts are $16.95usd.

They've got an Arc lighter too, but that's not relevant for our purposes here. As far as I can tell, they're compatible with regular Zippos and both single and dual flame models have a 0.9g fuel capacity according to the site. 2-year warranty.

I was really close to buying a Blu2 off of eBay last week, I'm glad I held off.

A friend had one of these Zippo inserts made by Blazer in Japan.
It worked well but the tank is tiny.

A Zippo product with only a 2-year warranty is not a Zippo product in my book.(at least it is cheap)

I agree that that is what always made Zippo stand out. However, the very basic nature (no valves or anything that really must wear out over time) of the traditional Zippo makes it much easier to give a lifetime warranty. There are Zippos around my house that I used for the whole 30 years I smoked cigs, and one that might have even been my Mother's. They stopped being used, however, when I gave up combusting joints.

 

[LesPlenty]

Same here @cybrguy, I wore out a couple of flint wheels (used old Bic lighter flints that were too hard) that Zippo replaced for free. I had a friend that accidentally ran over his with a lawnmower that completely ruined it, Zippo replaced under warranty, no questions asked.
Zippo Blu are still available at places if someone wanted a lifetime warranty Zippo jet lighter.

 

[cybrguy]

I even have one of these that I got as a promotion that started my barbecue or fireplace for a really long time. (Lotta Birthday cakes too...)

Still works fine but I'm sure they would check it out and replace anything that needed replacing. That is just what they do.

I like the idea but the small tank size has always kept me away from Zippo inserts. Looking at the specs of these, I assumed the single flame would last longer than the double. Nope, they're both listed as 0.9g fuel capacity and both say "Provides up to 100, 0.5 second lights per fill using a 1" / 2.5 cm flame height".

I assume it's just copy/paste specs listed from Zippo? Wouldn't the single last longer than the double?

Still doubtful that I'll buy one, there are other lighters I need first. But then again, this one's pretty cool and sometimes when I get high, well, you know, sometimes I buy stuff.

I just ordered 5 more of those Aomai single flame lighters, because the one I have has become my preferred torch for my Dynavap use.
I appreciate @Squiby turning me on to them with all her preaching about them for so long.

Sorry if I was waxing on endlessly about them but the Aomai is my clear favourite single jet lighter. I love that it has a fuel window and that it's basically the size and shape of the Vapcap. They're cheap too! I have several and haven't had a fail yet.

And they feel really great in the hands. It feels like a surgical scalpel.
Plus, mine has spoiled me in the sense that I hate holding the damn button down on my other lighters.

Next on my long list is a Blazer PB207. I've been wanting one for a long time.
AS the Aomai is mt favorite for Dynavap, I suspect the PB207 will probably be my favorite for my Sticky Bricks.

Thanks for the reminder, I have ordered twice and both orders got lost and refunded..many, many weeks after ordering, time for some more shopping.

Squiby! please do wax on...... we hang on your every word.

Was that ebay, dhgate or aliexpress. Better luck with your order this time!

I know exactly what you mean.

I've been thinking about getting a nice home torch for awhile now. The Blazer Firefox caught my eye and gets great reviews. But various iterations of the Torch 400 also get great reviews at half the price of the Firefox. Any opinions or other suggestions? Thanks.

 

[FlyingLow]

IMO Those are too big for my VapCap preferences and IMO too small for nail usage.
I tend to prefer small triple torch lighters for the caps and BigShot Blazers for other needs.

My favorite torch is the Vertigo Serpent. It's a nice quality table lighter with a large tank and consistent flame.

The Blazer Firefox

I paid 40 CDN in 2017 for a Firefox, used practically daily and still works and looks great. For me it is the perfect vapcap torch, size is absolutely perfect. Buy once cry once.

I have been looking at these for a while myself, less than US$17,

@LesPlenty

Get it...get it...get it.

 

[LabPong]

I have one that is almost 3 years old...and one that is about a year old.....no problems ever!

My fav single flame...and fav basic torch.......

Honest single.....I like it better than my expensive singles and doubles.......no need to spend $$$

 

[xsteve420]

i am using these
some of them have to low a flame at max setting so i have to unscrew the sides and gently lift just enough
to adjust the setting

That's a great torch, and I have two that I like...but I mainly use them with my direct draw vapes, like my Hydrobrick Maxx. For my Dynavap vapes I prefer my Aiomi single-flame flint lighters.

I still want a Blazer PB207 though. I'm under the impression that it's the gold-standard for a single-flame torch.

I was under the same impression until I read some later reviews where people say the quality has slipped from what it was...

Couple reasons I like this basic Honest torch. It has the 45 degree angle of the head...that helps me a ton when spinning the vapcap and then having to put the torch down super fast and put the vapcap in my rig. So my hands are in the best position to heat the cap with little stress on holding the lighter. Easy to hold the button down.

2nd reason is because of the good amount of fuel it holds and that you can see that as the body is one big window.

I just wish it could be shaped better or something to make it stand up better without adding size to it.

Yeah, I only use induction heaters for my vapcaps but I swear by the Honest torch with my og Brick.
