Product description
Looking for the Zippo Double Beam in El Paso? Its name is not a printed graphic; it stands for the two electric plasma arcs that fire between the contacts to make one flameless, windproof light. This rechargeable insert drops into your classic Zippo case, and you can check store stock and pick it up today.
What 'Double Beam' really means
Double Beam is a function, not artwork. Press the button twice within a second and two plasma beams arc across the top of the insert, meeting at a single point that lights your cigar, pipe, or candle with no open flame and no lighter fluid. Because there is no flame to blow out, the arc stays steady in the El Paso wind. A 10-second auto shut-off means it will not stay on by accident in your pocket or bag.
A rechargeable insert for your classic Zippo
The Double Beam is an insert, not a complete lighter, so the Zippo case is sold separately. Lift out the standard flint-and-fluid insert, drop in the Double Beam, and you keep the case and the signature Zippo click. The 200 mAh battery recharges in about an hour over the included micro-USB cable and holds up to 300 charges. It fits all classic Regular Zippo cases, though not Slim or 1935 Replica cases. Stop by any El Paso Smoke Shops to check stock.
Swing by your nearest El Paso Smoke Shops for the Zippo Double Beam arc insert. Friendly hosts, same-day pickup, and a valid 21+ photo ID at the counter. Find your store, confirm stock, and grab yours today.

Questions & Answers
What does 'Double Beam' mean on the 65828 insert?
It refers to the two electric plasma beams, not a printed design. Press the button twice and two arcs fire across the top of the insert and meet at one point to light with no open flame. That double arc is what gives the Double Beam its name and its flameless, windproof light.
Does the Double Beam 65828 arrive ready to use?
It arrives partially charged, so top it off over the included micro-USB cable before heavy use. Unlike a flint-and-fluid Zippo, it needs no lighter fluid, flint, or wick. Note that it is an insert only, so you also need a classic Zippo case, which is sold separately.
Is the dual-arc Double Beam 65828 really windproof?
Yes. Because it lights with an electric plasma arc instead of an open flame, there is no flame for wind to blow out, so it fires cleanly outdoors and in the El Paso breeze. A 10-second auto shut-off turns the arc off on its own for safety.
How do I charge and care for the Double Beam 65828?
Plug the included micro-USB cable into the port on the base; a full charge takes about an hour, and the blue base lights show status. There is no fluid or flint to top up. Keep the contacts clean and dry, let it cool between lights, and store it away from children.
What warranty covers the Double Beam 65828 insert?
This electronic arc insert carries a 2-year Zippo warranty on its function. That is different from the lifetime mechanical guarantee, which applies to Zippo's classic flint-and-fluid lighters, not to electronic inserts. We sell the insert; Zippo handles any warranty service.
What is the Double Beam 65828 made of and where is it made?
It is an all-metal insert in the Regular Zippo size, and this electronic arc insert is made in China. Only Zippo's classic flint-and-fluid lighters are made in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The insert drops into a classic Zippo brass case, which you buy separately.
Is the Zippo Double Beam 65828 legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. It is a legal windproof lighter, not a vape or a concealment device, and we sell it to guests 21 and older with a valid photo ID checked at the counter at El Paso Smoke Shops. Lithium-battery lighters like this are not allowed on airline flights, so pack it in a car, not a carry-on.
Zippo Double Beam vs a single-arc insert, which is better?
The Double Beam uses two plasma beams that meet at one ignition point, which gives a wider, more reliable light than a single-arc insert, handy for cigars and pipes. A single arc is a bit smaller and simpler. If you want the strongest arc for outdoor use, the Double Beam is the pick.
Is the Double Beam 65828 a good gift?
It makes a strong gift for anyone who already owns a classic Zippo case, since it modernizes their lighter with a flameless, rechargeable arc while keeping the case they love. Pair it with a Zippo case if they do not have one yet. Stop by El Paso Smoke Shops to see current stock.
Sales restricted to guests 21 or older; valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup at El Paso Smoke Shops.
