Zippo Lighter users can get a FREE pipe insert replacement

If you are a pipe smoker and have a few Zippo lighters but not one with a pipe insert, you can trade in your regular Zippo insert for a pipe insert. Here is how...

From Zippo Customer Service

Quote:
You can send your regular insert into the repair department and send a note requesting that they replace it with a pipe insert.
Please send to:

Remove the inside assembly from the lighter and allow the fuel inside the lighting mechanism to evaporate for two or three days before sending.

Enclose a note with your name, return address, telephone number and email address.

Give us your email address. We will send you an automatic email advising we received your repair.

Package your product securely in an oversized box or padded shipping bag (large packages are less likely to be lost or mislaid).

Insure your package, send via a traceable method to:

Zippo Repair Clinic
1932 Zippo Drive
Bradford, PA 16701
9/4/16 UPDATE: I have successfully traded in two standard lighter inserts for pipe inserts. Great service from Zippo.

I sent Zippo a regular Zippo insert. Zippo received it. They sent a pipe insert but the post office destroyed it. Zippo informed me they ran out of chrome pipe inserts. They sent me a brass pipe insert since they wanted to get one out to me right of way. I received the brass pipe insert a few days later. Zippo informed me they will also send a chrome pipe insert as soon as they become available. That's great service.

I like the two toned look. Check it out.

Reminder to Zippo users, you can trade in your standard Zippo inserts for Pipe inserts. See original post for details.

I traded 3 regular inserts for 3 pipe inserts about a year ago. Go to their website and start a live chat session if you need assistance.

Just packed up 4 regular inserts to exchange for pipe inserts. 3 were new and 1 was the insert from the first zippo I ever bought. It's pretty nasty. All the new inserts were replaced with Thunderbird or Zplus torch inserts when new. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the tip.
