Thyrm PyroVault 2.0 Lighter Armor Compatible with Zippo Inserts, for Protection, Less Evaporation, and Retention, Made in the USA (Urban (Dark Urban Grey + Black))

Fantastic lighter holder…. HOWEVER… for the love of all things holy Thyrm why would you make the first gen able to stand upright and then REMOVE that ability from the gen2? I also really hate how you can’t use the newer model butane inserts from zippo because the chimneys are slightly too tall… SO FIX EM! Release a 2.1 version that fixes both the taller chimneys and the upright standing ability. Both super easy fixes. Other than, this case blew me away by how much longer the traditional zippo inserts with wick and cotton last in this thing. I mean literally by an extra week, by an extra 100 lights, by an extra amount that was so noticeable, I actually ordered a Gen1 and second Gen2 armor cases. The Gen1 is nice because it stands upright on its own, which WOULD be useful for butane so the butane can settle properly vertically… however it too will not fit the newer butane inserts. However, I do also like the built in clip that allows you to clip it to stuff. A 2.1 version, could bring that clip back but extend the length so it’s fully molle compatible or 1.5” belt compatible. The fact that when you strike to ignite your thumb hits the little door latch is INSANELY annoying so you never do get a full strike, but it can be worked around. Just seems like a small oversight that could easily be fixed with V2.1. Do I think it’s worth it? For edc, yes. It just makes your lighter last longer bar none, and it makes your your lighter much more tough. Wind resistance is just as good as any other zippo, and the functionality at least in gen1 was higher than gen2. Sure there is a lanyard loop, but honestly who is using this with a lanyard? I would recommend on a 2.1 version or a gen 3 version that they add a lanyard loop sure, but again bro g back the full size belt clip from Gen1 and make it molle/1.5” compatible, but ALSO, the biggest thing, would be allow the newest design to still be rugged and tough, but fit inside the zippo molle pouches. The zippo brand molle pouches and the 550 paracord pouch would be an EXCELLENT pairing that Thyrm could do so that like me, you can then edc the tough armor cases in those respective pouches as right now they’re just too big to fit. Keep the overbuilt design, but slim it down a bit to make it more edc friendly. Maybe a Gen3 is needed?

Wonderful little piece of gear. Holds fluid for 2-3 more days than a regular Zippo case - and as a pipe smoker, I use it many times a day. Only downside is that the well for the lighter is a bit deep so lighter sat a little low - so my thumb got pinched between the lighter and the case's release latch when using the striker wheel. Remedied by taking 1/3 of a cotton ball, rolling it out to the width of a pencil, then snaking it into the well above the Tinder rope. Raised the lighter in the case so now is very comfortable.

Zippo lighters are known for their windproof properties, but they can be difficult to handle if dropped in water. This case prevents water from getting in when the lid is closed, making it very useful for outdoor activities. The lid locks securely, so you can't open and close it as easily as usual, but since accidental drops and water damage are more likely when you're active outdoors, I recommend using this case. I chose a color that would stand out in the outdoors.

My initial thoughts were more positive then as I was writing this review I discovered issues. The old one was pure junk. I only bought their product again for lack of a better optionI. Living on a boat I wanted a protective case. I am using these for my butane lighters instead of liquid fueled lighters as before. Lets hope it last. The old one started leaking in less than a year. I am not overly optimistic. If you look at the second picture you will notice when it closes the lid seal is uneven. Same issue with the old one. I think this is why it started leaking so soon. I think they need a better mechanical engineer. As I was writing this review I discover more bad about it already. No 0-ring and loose parts.

Fits a Zippo insert perfectly but does not open as smoothly as a metal Zippo case.

First impressions are… not impressed. For the price? I expected something with a little better fit and finish. It absolutely SCREAMS “how can we make it cheaper!?” The clasp for the lid is exactly where your thumb needs to be to light it. So you have to kinda edge it down in there to even use the thing. It seems to open and seal nice. I’ll update in a few months when I inevitably destroy it from daily use

Pyro Vault 2 works with my choice of a Zippo 1 burner insert. Pyro Vaul 2 comes with some sort of fabric tinder strip evidently meant to be carried under the butane insert. Left it place however it seems more intended for use with a traditional fluid insert. The butane insert fits inside the Pyro Vault 2 and the cover easily closes and flips open via the spring-loaded hinge. The Butate insert has a cam that looks designed to interact with the traditional Zippo metal cover. It does not work with the Pyro Vault 2 and when folded upwards is unneeded and doesn't interfere with the Pyro opne/close action. Unsure at this point if it's airtight but doesn't need to be for my purposes. Just wanted a durable US made case for the Zippo butane insert.appears well-made. Hopefully this will be an heirloom quality unit.

I was really looking forward to getting this and when I got it I thought the box was empty. It’s made out of cheap light plastic. I don’t know how long it will last!! I’m very disappointed in the quality of it so far and I don’t see it being worth the price tag! Time will tell if it actually seals well and holds in the lighter fluid. No metal in the lid!

Fits my zippo inner well and holds it well, works with gas insert as well

Light and waterproof case for a Zippo insert of your choice. Recommend the one or two nozzles butane torch insert, or the usb plasma one to build a bombproof expedition lighter.

Cheap scabby material that falls apart easily and seals worse than a 90 year olds fart box

liked the construction, looks tough. could have been better if the latch is way lower as it hitting the thumb when striking
