Does anyone have one of these? Mine has a nasty little issue of rampant butane output. When I light it, it gives me a flame around an inch tall then dimishes to a 1/4 inch flame then slowly starts getting larger before going down again.

I've got a standard Zippo, and it runs dry in under 48 hours without fail. I think the brand in general is just overrated.

same. I hate the way it evaporates into nowhere.
I will say however that it's still an awesome lighter either way

Zippo Blus are butane lighters so evaporating fuel isn't an issue because of the air tight chamber. It has a flint ignition which is a plus to a degree but clogs the valve when using dirtier brand flints, it has this goofy self adjusting output valve and no manual flame adjustment making it inferior to some other good brands of butane lighters.
