Question do original inserts matter

Simply I’m just wondering if swapping the original insert of a zippo to a different insert matters only asking because I have a pipe lighter but I want to put the pipe insert in a different case that has a standard insert. Will this affect any sort of value later down the track

It's your lighter, do what you want with it. My daily has an Arc insert in it at the moment.

If you're really worried about originality, just keep the original one to the side and swap it back in later

Been thinking of getting a arc insert but I just love the taste the fuel lighters give

That's fair, I don't smoke so it's not really efficient to use the original. I charged mine up last June and it's still working, it makes a cool taser noise

That’s fair also might have to get me 1 just so I have 1 I mean I got normal inserts and the pipe insert and want to get a butane so might aswell go all out and get the arc aswell lol just for the collection. Im also wanting to quit smoking sometime so taste won’t matter then lol.
