Zippo Trippy Design Grass Green Matte Windproof Lighter (48957)

The Zippo Trippy (model 48957) is a windproof, refillable pocket lighter that turns a everyday flame into a statement piece. Zippo’s Color Image process prints a hypnotic, abstract psychedelic graphic, the brand’s own ‘love, peace and grooviness’ artwork, across a smooth Grass Green Matte case. Underneath the art it is the same Classic-case mechanism Zippo has built since 1932: an all-metal body, a flint-wheel ignition with the unmistakable Zippo click, and a wind-resistant flame. Our Hosts stock and handle Zippo lighters across our 9 El Paso locations, and this page shows the live, per-store availability so you can see exactly where to pick one up.

What the Trippy Design Says

The Trippy design is a bold, swirling abstract graphic in Zippo’s ‘love, peace and grooviness’ theme, printed edge to edge with Zippo’s Color Image technique on a Grass Green Matte finish. Color Image is a graphic process that bonds full-color art directly to the case rather than engraving it, so the psychedelic pattern reads as vivid color rather than cut metal. The result is a retro-leaning, eye-catching piece that suits Guests who want personality in their pocket. Because the graphic is printed on the surface, treat the case gently to keep the art crisp, and note that printed Color Image cases are not designed to be re-engraved over the artwork.

Built Windproof in Bradford, Pennsylvania

Every Zippo windproof lighter is assembled in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and the 48957 is no exception. The case is brass finished with a Grass Green Matte powder coat, and the windproof design is the heart of the tool: a perforated metal chimney shields the wick so the flame holds up in a breeze far better than a typical open flame. To use it, flip the cap open and roll your thumb down the flint wheel to spark the wick. The flame does not self-extinguish, so you close the lid to put it out, which is also what slows fuel evaporation between uses. In a strong, gusting wind, cup the lighter or angle the chimney away from the gust for the steadiest flame.

Refillable for Life, Backed by Zippo's Guarantee

This is a refillable lighter built to last, not a disposable. It runs on premium lighter fluid, and a typical user tops it off every few days to once a week depending on how often it is lit, since the fuel slowly evaporates even when the lid is closed. When you need supplies, we carry Zippo premium lighter fluid to refuel it, replacement flints for when the spark weakens after a few weeks of use, and a replacement wick for long-term upkeep. The mechanism itself is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors that mechanical guarantee, so if the lighter ever fails to spark you send it to Zippo and they repair it free. The lifetime guarantee covers the mechanism and does not cover the printed Color Image artwork or finish.
