What is better a standered zippo insert or a butane Thunderbird insert?

A butane (Thunderbird) insert is better because the fuel is cheaper and it is air tight so the fuel doesn't evaporate like a normal one. there are two types of insert, one is a soft fame (like one from a Bic lighter) and the other has a torch flame (like one off a blow torch but not as intense). the Thunderbird might be better but it is all down to preference.

What can you use to refill a zippo lighter?

if you really need a flame you can fill up your zippo with anything that will burn. this includes gassoline, alachol, and even alacholic beverages such as wiskey or moonshine. but be warned: filling up your zippo with these alternative fules can be very dangerous because they might explode. if you had to refill a zippo with an alternitive fuel you are better going off with an alachol based fuel rather than a gasoline type fuel. alachol burns cleaner and is alot less likely to blow up in your face. if you do not need a to light your zippo because of an emergency or something i suggest you just fill it up with lighter fluid as it was ment to be filled with. plus if you fill it up with anything becides lighter fluid you void the lifetime guarantee. it is just not worth it. hope I could help ** I belive the same can be said for kerosene. Be careful with gasoline if you over fill a zippo with it enough might atomize to cause a small explosion kind of like when you over fill it with lighter fluid it will burn in places besides on the wick. **rubbing alachol is mostly safe thats what i filled up with mine

Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
