Product description
The Zippo Bottomz Up Logo (24383) takes the most recognizable mark in lighter history, the engraved Zippo bottom stamp, and runs it across both ends of the case. The result is a polished, collectible take on the classic windproof pocket lighter that reads the same whichever way you set it down. Our Hosts handle these across El Paso Smoke Shops’ 10 El Paso, TX locations, and below is the honest rundown of what the design means, how the finish behaves, and how to keep it lit.
Two Stamps, One Inside Joke
For decades the engraved stamp on the bottom of a Zippo has been the quiet seal of authenticity on every genuine windproof lighter. The Bottomz Up design flips that idea on its head, literally. Model 24383 carries the traditional Zippo logo stamp on both the bottom and the top of the case, with the words Bottomz Up worked into the body, so the lighter stands upright on either end. It is a playful nod to collectors who know the bottom stamp by heart, and it makes 24383 one of the more distinctive pieces Zippo has put out. This model has been discontinued at the factory, which is part of why it draws interest from people who like to round out a collection.
A Mirror Finish in High Polish Chrome
High polish chrome is the brightest, most reflective finish Zippo offers, a luminous silver-toned mirror over the brass case. It is the finish to choose if you want shine rather than a soft, matte look. Worth knowing up front: a high polish surface shows fingerprints and smudges more readily than brushed or satin chrome, so it rewards an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to bring the shine back. The plating is cosmetic, so Zippo notes the finish itself is not covered under the repair guarantee, but the mechanism is (more on that below).
Windproof, Refillable, and Built in Bradford
Underneath the chrome it is a standard-size genuine Zippo: all-metal construction, the distinctive Zippo click, and the windproof chimney design that keeps a flame going where a disposable would blow out. It is built in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and it is refillable for a lifetime of use rather than a throwaway. To run it you fill the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which evaporates slowly even when idle, so topping off every several days keeps it ready. The two consumables are easy: the spark wheel runs on small flints, and an average user goes through replacement flints every few weeks, while the wick only needs trimming once or twice a year and a replacement wick after a few trims. Fuel, flints, and wicks are normal wear items, not malfunctions.
Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter carries Zippo’s famous promise: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo’s repair clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and Zippo restores it to working order at no charge, regardless of age, and you do not need the original receipt. To be clear, El Paso Smoke Shops sells you the lighter and Zippo is the company that honors the guarantee and performs the free repair. The guarantee covers the mechanical workings, not consumables (fuel, wicks, flints) or the cosmetic finish.

Questions & Answers
Why is it called Bottomz Up, and what makes the 24383 different from a plain Zippo?
The Bottomz Up name comes from the design: Zippo took the engraved logo stamp that normally lives only on the bottom of the case and put it on the top as well. Both ends are stamped, the words Bottomz Up are worked into the body, and the lighter can stand upright on either end. It is an inside joke for people who know the bottom stamp as Zippo's mark of authenticity. Mechanically it is a standard full-size genuine Zippo; the double stamp and high polish chrome are what set 24383 apart, and it is now a discontinued, collectible model.
Does the Zippo Bottomz Up come with lighter fluid?
No. Like all genuine Zippo windproof lighters, the Bottomz Up ships empty and is not pre-filled, partly so it can be shipped and carried safely. You fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which you can pick up from our Hosts in the same visit. Saturate the cotton packing under the felt pad, wipe the lighter and your hands dry, and it is ready to spark.
Does high polish chrome show fingerprints, and how do I keep it shiny?
Yes, a little. High polish chrome is the brightest, most reflective finish Zippo offers, and that mirror surface shows fingerprints and smudges more readily than a brushed or satin finish. It is easy to maintain: a quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth clears the marks and brings the shine right back. If you prefer a look that hides prints, a brushed or satin finish is more forgiving, but nothing matches high polish chrome for pure shine.
Is the lighter really windproof and refillable for life, and how often do I replace the flint and wick?
Yes. The all-metal build and chimney design keep a steady flame in wind that would snuff out a disposable, and the lighter is refillable rather than throwaway. Maintenance is simple and the parts are cheap: an average user swaps in fresh replacement flints every few weeks, while the wick only needs trimming once or twice a year and a replacement wick after it has been trimmed a few times. Topping off the fuel every several days helps, since lighter fluid evaporates slowly even when the lighter sits unused.
Is the Zippo lifetime guarantee real, and who fixes it if it breaks?
It is real and it is Zippo's, not the shop's. Every genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter carries the promise it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo's repair clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and Zippo restores it to working condition at no charge, regardless of how old it is and without needing a receipt. El Paso Smoke Shops sells you the lighter; Zippo is the company that honors the guarantee and does the repair. The guarantee covers the working mechanism, not the cosmetic finish or wear items like fuel, flints, and wicks.
Can I bring a Zippo lighter on a plane?
Per TSA, you may carry one Zippo-style lighter on your person or in your carry-on bag, not in checked baggage when it contains fuel. An empty Zippo with no fuel or vapor is allowed in checked bags. Lighter fluid refills are classified as hazardous and are not permitted in either bag. The final call always rests with the TSA officer at the checkpoint, so travel with the lighter empty if you want the simplest trip through security.
Sold only to Guests 21 and older with a valid government-issued ID. This is a genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter, not a vape, torch lighter, or concealment device. It ships empty: Zippo premium lighter fluid and flints are sold separately. Keep away from children, use responsibly, and never refuel near an open flame. Zippo's lifetime guarantee (it works or Zippo fixes it free) is honored and performed by Zippo, not by El Paso Smoke Shops; the finish and consumable wear items are not covered. Stocked in select stores only, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso location has it.
