The classic zippo doesn't use butane at all, it uses naptha and some other heavier petroleum distillates. Butane evaporates and disappears at atmospheric pressure, even if it's soaked into cotton. He specifically said butane zippo refillables so I assume he's not talking about those.. though I've never seen a butane zippo before. The oil filled zippos are going to taste bad because the fuel doesn't completely combust and you inhale some petroleum distillates with carbon monoxide and soot mixed in.
