Product description
Looking for the Zippo 205 Space Chimp in El Paso? This one puts a chimpanzee in a full astronaut spacesuit and helmet right on Zippo’s classic satin chrome case. It is windproof, refillable, and yours to pick up the same day at any El Paso Smoke Shops location.
The Space Chimp design, up close
The artwork is a playful nod to the early space age: a chimpanzee suited up in a full astronaut spacesuit and helmet, printed on Zippo’s smooth satin chrome 205 case. It is a novelty animal-in-space design, not a loud graphic, so it reads as fun and collectible. Flip the lid and you get the unmistakable Zippo click, then a windproof flame that stays lit outdoors. It arrives in a Zippo gift box with an instruction sheet, which makes it an easy gift or a keepsake for a space fan.
Built to refill and last a lifetime
Under the artwork sits a genuine Zippo: an all-brass Classic case with a perforated chimney windscreen that shelters the flame in wind that snuffs disposable lighters. It ships empty, so you add Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first light, then keep it going for years with replaceable flints and a replaceable wick. Every Zippo is backed by the lifetime guarantee, it works or Zippo fixes it free. We keep it stocked across our El Paso stores, so you can check store stock and reserve yours.
Swing by your nearest El Paso Smoke Shops for the Zippo 205 Space Chimp. Reserve online, confirm store stock, and pick it up today with a valid 21 or older photo ID at the counter. Add premium lighter fluid and it is ready to spark.

Questions & Answers
What is the Space Chimp astronaut design on the 205?
The Space Chimp artwork shows a chimpanzee wearing a full astronaut spacesuit and helmet, a playful nod to the primate astronauts of the early space age. It is a novelty animal-in-space design printed on Zippo's classic 205 satin chrome case, so it reads as fun and collectible rather than a loud graphic.
Does the Space Chimp 205 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships with an empty tank because fuel cannot travel inside the lighter. Fill it before the first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which is sold separately. The wick and windscreen are built around that fluid, so it lights cleanly once you fuel it.
Does the Space Chimp Zippo stay lit outdoors in wind?
Yes, it is genuinely wind-resistant. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney windscreen that shelters it while still feeding it air, so a well-fueled Zippo stays lit in stiff wind that would snuff a normal disposable lighter. In a hard gale any open flame can still be pushed around.
How do I refill and maintain the Space Chimp 205?
The astronaut-chimp graphic is printed on the case and stays clear of every step below. Free the insert, raise the felt pad on the underside, and feed Zippo premium lighter fluid into the packing until damp, not wet, then blot the surplus. Drop a fresh flint down the spring-loaded screw when the wheel sparks weakly, and renew the wick once the flame runs short.
Is the Space Chimp 205 covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the lighter's function, summed up as "it works or Zippo fixes it free." If the mechanism fails, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and Zippo repairs the working parts at no charge. It does not cover the printed Space Chimp artwork or surface scratches.
What is the Space Chimp 205's case made of and where is it made?
The 205 Space Chimp uses Zippo's all-brass Classic case in a satin chrome finish, and it is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932. It is an all-metal lighter with the signature Zippo click and a solid hand-feel.
Is the Space Chimp Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A refillable Zippo windproof lighter is a legal everyday lighter to buy in Texas. At El Paso Smoke Shops we sell it to guests 21 or older, and a valid government-issued photo ID is checked at the counter at pickup. It is a flame lighter, not a vape or concealment device.
How is the Space Chimp 205 different from a plain satin chrome Zippo?
Mechanically they are the same windproof, refillable 205 case. The difference is the artwork: the Space Chimp adds a suited chimpanzee astronaut on the satin chrome, so it works as a novelty or gift piece while a plain satin chrome Zippo stays understated. Both carry the same Zippo lifetime guarantee.
How much is the Space Chimp 205 and does it make a good gift?
The Zippo 205 Space Chimp is $26.95 at El Paso Smoke Shops. It makes an easy gift because it arrives in a Zippo gift box with an instruction sheet, carries a lifetime guarantee, and pairs a fun space-age design with a refillable brass case. Reserve online and pick it up today.
Sales restricted to guests 21 or older; valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel in the tank, so premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before the first use. Use responsibly and keep away from children.
