Descripción del producto
The Zippo Pulsar Psychedelic Dragonfish lighter (model 218) pairs a genuine windproof Zippo case with Amberly Downs’ deep-sea dragonfish artwork, printed in vivid psychedelic color over a black matte brass body. It is part of the Pulsar Design Series, refillable for a lifetime of use, and carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. The case arrives empty, so you add premium lighter fluid before the first use. Check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it in stock.
The Psychedelic Dragonfish design
This 218 case carries a single character pulled from artist Amberly Downs’ larger Psychedelic Ocean scene: a bioluminescent dragonfish, the eerie glowing predator of the deep sea, hand drawn and rendered in saturated color. Set against a flat black matte finish, the art reads with real depth and motion, the kind of piece that draws a second look on the counter. It sits in the Pulsar Design Series alongside companion artworks like Psychedelic Ocean and Psychedelic Spaceman, so it appeals to collectors who chase a theme as much as to Guests who just want a standout everyday carry.
Built windproof, made to refill
Underneath the artwork is a standard Zippo, which is the point. The brass case snaps open with the familiar clink, and the windproof chimney shields the flame so it stays lit in a breeze where a cheap disposable would blow out. It is fully refillable rather than throwaway, so the same case can serve for years instead of landing in the trash. This is a flame lighter for everyday lighting tasks, not a vape and not a concealment device.
Fuel, flints, and lasting care
To fuel the Dragonfish, lift the insert out of the case and saturate the cotton packing with premium lighter fluid, then give it a moment to settle before sparking. Zippo fluid evaporates slowly even when the lighter sits unused, so most Guests top it off every week or two of regular use. The flint and wick are wear items: when the spark gets weak, drop in fresh replacement flints, and when the wick darkens or frays past trimming, fit a replacement wick. With those two simple parts on hand, the case keeps lighting for decades.
Zippo's lifetime guarantee
Every windproof Zippo is covered by the brand’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and they repair it free of charge, even on lighters made decades ago. One honest note for collectors: the guarantee covers the working mechanism, not cosmetic wear, so the printed dragonfish artwork and the matte finish are not part of the repair coverage. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee.
Pick up the Zippo Pulsar Psychedelic Dragonfish (218) as a refillable everyday carry or a collectible from the Pulsar Design Series. It ships empty and pairs with Zippo premium lighter fluid, and a purchase is 21+ with valid ID.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What is the Psychedelic Dragonfish design on this Zippo?
It is a piece by artist Amberly Downs, pulled from her larger Psychedelic Ocean scene. The art shows a bioluminescent dragonfish, the deep-sea predator that glows in the dark, drawn in vivid psychedelic color on a black matte case. This 218 lighter belongs to the Pulsar Design Series, which also includes companion designs like Psychedelic Ocean and Psychedelic Spaceman.
Does the Dragonfish Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, the Dragonfish ships empty for safe transport, so it does not include fuel. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first use. Our Hosts can point you to it in store.
Is the Dragonfish Zippo really windproof?
Yes. The case uses Zippo's classic windproof chimney design, which shields the flame so it stays lit in a breeze where a typical disposable lighter would blow out. That windproof flame is one of the main reasons people choose a refillable Zippo for everyday carry.
How often will I need to refill it and replace the flint?
It depends on use. Zippo fluid evaporates slowly even when the lighter sits idle, so a regular user usually tops off the fuel every week or two. The flint is a wear part that an average user swaps roughly every few weeks once the spark weakens. Both fuel and flints are inexpensive and sold separately.
How does Zippo's lifetime guarantee work on this lighter?
The lighter is covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and Zippo repairs it free of charge, even on very old lighters. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo performs the repair.
Does the lifetime guarantee cover the Dragonfish artwork?
No. Zippo's free-repair guarantee covers the working mechanism of the lighter, not cosmetic items. The printed dragonfish design, the black matte finish, engravings, and surface scratches are not part of the repair coverage. The guarantee is about keeping the lighter functioning for life, not preserving the artwork.
Must be 21+ with valid ID to purchase. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty; premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. Use and store responsibly, away from children. Availability varies by store, so check the live in-store stock shown on this page to see which El Paso location has it.
