I fixed it using JB weld (steel formula) and replaced the rivets using M2x8mm screw and hex nuts. Works and more reliable now. I also replaced the cheap wick with a better one and rerouted the wick for better performance. Performs so much better now.
I’ve been using a 100 count bag of cotton balls I got from the dollar tree for $1 in my lighters and it works perfectly. You don’t need to spend $7 on cotton bacon. It’s a lighter, not a vape. Taste is not of concern.
Wanted to like this insert, but the clam spring broke in about two weeks. Shame looked awesome with my golden ratio brass armor.

How do these compare to the actual Zorro insert? Just repackaged or is it a knock-off?
