Descripción del producto
The Zippo 49146 Classic Iridescent is a true Zippo windproof lighter in the iconic Classic case, finished in a turquoise-to-violet ombre that catches the light and shifts color as you turn it. It pairs that head-turning iridescent look with everything Zippo has been known for since 1933: an all-metal build, the signature lid click, a windproof flame, and a lifetime guarantee. Our Hosts stock and handle this lighter in store at El Paso Smoke Shops, and below is the honest, first-hand rundown of what you are buying.
A Finish That Shifts From Turquoise to Violet
The standout here is the Iridescent Matte finish, a satin turquoise-to-violet ombre that appears to change color depending on the angle and the light. It reads turquoise in one tilt and cool violet in another, over the same all-metal Classic case the brand is famous for. The matte satin coating keeps fingerprints down better than a high-polish chrome, which is why Guests who want a Zippo that looks different from the standard brushed-chrome lineup gravitate to this one. It is a Zippo-logo design in the Classic 1.5 inch case, so it slips into a pocket and feels solid in the hand.
Genuine Windproof, Made in Bradford, Pennsylvania
This is a real Zippo windproof lighter, not a butane clone. The windscreen around the wick plus a steady fuel-delivery rate let the flame hold up in wind that would blow out an ordinary lighter, which is the whole reason the Zippo windproof design has been trusted since 1933. You light it by flicking the flint wheel against the flint to throw a spark into the fuel-soaked wick, and you put it out by simply closing the lid, which starves the flame of oxygen. The lighter is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters for decades.
Refillable for Life: Fluid, Flints, and Wick
A Zippo is built to be refueled and serviced rather than thrown away, which is what makes it a lifetime carry. It ships empty, so your first step is to lift out the insert and slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until the fluid reaches the top of the cotton. Lighter fluid evaporates over time even when the lighter sits unused, so keep the lid closed and top it off before heavy use. Under regular use the flint wears down in a matter of weeks, and swapping in fresh replacement flints takes about a minute. The wick only needs attention once or twice a year: trim it when it darkens, and after a few trimmings drop in a replacement wick. Fuel, flints, and wicks are all sold separately and stocked at El Paso Smoke Shops.
Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, including the 49146, is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. The promise is simple: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no cost, a guarantee Zippo has honored for more than 90 years. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors and performs the repair. Routine wear items like fluid, flints, and the wick are normal maintenance you handle yourself, not defects, and they are inexpensive to replace.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Is the iridescent finish on the Zippo 49146 painted, and will it scratch off?
The 49146 carries an Iridescent Matte coating that gives the all-metal case its turquoise-to-violet color shift across the brand's standard Classic case. Like any Zippo finish, it can scuff with hard daily abuse, so Zippo recommends avoiding aggressive cleaners and abrasive cloths to keep the satin look intact. Under normal pocket carry it holds up well, and even if the outside finish wears, the lighter's mechanism is still covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee.
Does the Zippo Classic Iridescent come filled with fluid?
No. Like all Zippo windproof lighters, the 49146 ships empty because shipping regulations prohibit transporting it fueled. Before the first use you fill it yourself: lift out the insert and slowly saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until the fluid reaches the top of the packing. Fluid is sold separately and stocked at El Paso Smoke Shops.
What fuel does the Zippo 49146 use, and how do I refill it?
It runs on premium lighter fluid, not butane. To refill, pull the insert out of the case, turn it over, lift the felt pad, and slowly add Zippo premium lighter fluid until the cotton is saturated, then wipe off any excess and reassemble. Because the fluid evaporates over time, keep the lid closed when the lighter is not in use and top it off before heavy use.
How often do I need to replace the flint and the wick?
Under regular use the flint wears down in a matter of weeks, and replacing it takes about a minute using fresh replacement flints: unscrew the flint spring, drop a new flint in the brass tube, and screw the spring back in. The wick lasts far longer; trim it once or twice a year when it darkens, and after a few trimmings install a replacement wick. Both flints and wicks are inexpensive and carried at El Paso Smoke Shops.
Will the Zippo 49146 stay lit outdoors, and how do I put it out?
Yes. The 49146 is a genuine windproof Zippo: the windscreen around the wick combined with a steady fuel-delivery rate keeps the flame burning in wind that would snuff out an ordinary lighter. Because of that design you cannot easily blow it out from the side; the correct way to extinguish it is to close the lid, which cuts off oxygen and snaps shut with the signature Zippo click.
Is the Zippo 49146 covered by the lifetime guarantee?
Yes. As a genuine Zippo windproof lighter, the 49146 is backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no cost, a promise Zippo has honored for over 90 years. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo performs the repair; routine items like fluid, flints, and the wick are normal maintenance rather than warranty defects.
