  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I have a z-plus 2.0 in an heirloom zippo that my dad used back in the 70s. The original internals were taken at the airport some years ago. The insert didn't work very well at first but after a butane purge and refill with good fuel it works like a champ. It was a tight fit and took about 2 hours to get it back out of the zippo the first time, but it's loosened up just enough now after messing with it some.
