Zippo Classic Frequency Windproof Lighter (49846), Hot Pink Matte

The Zippo Classic Frequency (49846) is a genuine windproof Zippo finished in an impossible-to-miss hot pink matte, stamped with the classic Zippo logo. It is the standard Classic-size case, so it carries every Zippo fundamental: all-metal construction, the signature lid click, a refillable insert, and Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Like every new Zippo, it arrives empty for safe shipping, so you fill it with lighter fluid before the first light. Below, our Hosts break down what the Frequency finish is, how the lighter works, and how to keep it lit for life.

What the Frequency Hot Pink Finish Is

Frequency is Zippo’s name for this bold hot pink matte design, with the classic Zippo logo applied through Zippo’s Color Image process so the mark sits crisp against the matte case. The finish is a flat, non-glossy hot pink that hides fingerprints better than a polished chrome case and reads as a statement piece rather than a plain pocket lighter. It is part of Zippo’s Classic / Basic Models line, the everyday standard-size cases that most people picture when they think ‘Zippo.’ The case is the regular Classic footprint, so it fits standard Zippo inserts, pouches, and accessories.

Genuine Windproof Performance, Built in Bradford

This is a real windproof lighter, not a novelty. The windscreen around the wick is what lets a Zippo stay lit in a breeze where a basic flame would blow out, and the all-metal case gives it the weight and the unmistakable Zippo click when you flip the lid. Zippo builds its pocket lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and the Frequency case is brass with the hot pink matte finish over it. It is engineered to work best with Zippo premium fluid and Zippo flints. One handling note our Hosts pass along: a Zippo does not self-extinguish, so you close the lid to put out the flame.

Refillable for Life: Fluid, Flints, and Wick

A Zippo is built to be refueled and serviced forever instead of thrown away. To refuel, lift the insert out of the case, lift the felt pad, and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until it reaches the top of the packing, then stop so it does not overfill or leak. Fluid slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so keep the lid closed and top it off before you head out. When the spark gets weak, swap in fresh replacement flints; when the wick darkens or will not catch after a few trimmings, install a replacement wick. These three consumables are what keep a Zippo working for decades. The lighter does not ship with fluid for safety reasons, so plan to add it before first use.

Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee

Every genuine Zippo pocket lighter is covered by Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it free of charge regardless of age or condition. To be clear, that is Zippo’s guarantee and Zippo performs the repair. El Paso Smoke Shops sells you the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee on the working parts. The decorated finish itself is not covered against normal wear, but the lighter mechanism is.
