Torch & Blow Torch Lighters make your everday life easier
Whether you need a focused flame for quick lighting at home or a stronger heat source for household and hobby tasks, torch-style butane products give you greater control and precision. Explore Zippo torch inserts for regular Zippo lighter cases, or choose a refillable butane torch when you need a standalone solution.
Why choose a torch lighter?
A torch lighter is designed for situations where a concentrated flame can make lighting easier and more precise. It can be useful for lighting a fireplace or fire pit, starting a BBQ chimney, or lighting candles and lanterns with greater control.
Torch-style products can also be useful for certain household and hobby tasks where a stronger heat source is required, including heating, melting and thawing.
The Zippo Butane Torch features an adjustable yellow or blue flame and a child-safe handheld igniter, making it a practical option when you need a focused heat source.
Torch inserts or a standalone butane torch?
If you already have a regular Zippo lighter case and want to change the flame style, a Zippo butane insert offers a straightforward option. Zippo offers Single Torch and Double Torch butane inserts, both producing a bright blue flame with push-button piezo ignition.
The inserts are designed to fit regular Zippo lighter cases. They are not compatible with Slim, 1935 Replica or Armor® cases, so it is important to check compatibility before choosing an insert.
For household and hobby tasks, a standalone butane torch provides a separate torch solution. The Zippo Butane Torch has an adjustable yellow or blue flame and high heat output for practical applications such as lighting, soldering, heating, melting and thawing.
If you want to explore the wider range of inserts, visit our Inserts collection. For pressurised butane torch inserts, explore Refillable Butane.
Single and double torch options
Zippo torch inserts are available with either a single or double flame, allowing you to choose the setup that suits your needs.
Single torch insert
The Zippo Single Torch Butane Lighter Insert produces a single bright blue flame with adjustable flame height and a refillable butane fuel capacity. It is designed to fit regular Zippo lighter cases and retains the familiar Zippo “click” sound.
The Single Torch Butane Lighter Insert is backed by a two-year Zippo warranty. A black-finish version is also available, offering the same torch-style approach in a different finish.
Double torch insert
The Double Torch Butane Lighter Insert produces two bright blue flames and uses the same push-button ignition approach. It also has a refillable butane gas capacity.
A double torch can be a suitable choice when you want greater flame output from your Zippo case setup, including when lighting outdoors or when you prefer a stronger torch effect.
Refillable butane and fuel
Using the right fuel is an important part of maintaining torch performance. Zippo torch inserts are refillable with butane and recommend Zippo butane for optimum performance. The standalone Butane Torch also uses Zippo butane gas.
If you need fuel or other essentials, visit Fuel & Supplies. For the dedicated refill product, see Zippo Butane gas lighters.
If you are looking for guidance on how to refill a butane lighter or torch insert, the Support Centre provides official product and usage information.
Find the right torch setup
Torch inserts are sold separately from the lighter case. They are therefore a practical option if you already own a regular Zippo lighter case and want a torch-style flame.
If you need a case as well, explore our Windproof Lighters collection for classic Zippo case options.
Before buying a butane insert, make sure your case is compatible. Torch inserts fit regular Zippo lighter cases but do not fit Slim, 1935 Replica or Armor® cases.
