Product description
The Zippo Red Flame Windproof Lighter puts the brand’s own red flame logo front and center on a Street Chrome case that already looks broken-in. It is a real, all-metal Zippo: windproof, refillable for a lifetime, and standing behind Zippo’s no-time-limit guarantee. It arrives empty of fuel by design, ready for you to fill, flick, and carry. Below is what the design means, how it works, and how our Hosts can hand you one in El Paso.
A Red Flame on a Pocket-Worn Street Chrome Case
This lighter wears the iconic Zippo flame logo rendered in red, set against the Street Chrome finish. Street Chrome is a distressed look Zippo introduced in 2001: the entire case, including the sides and bottom, is tumbled in a special media to mimic the random scuffs and scratches of a well-loved, pocket-worn lighter. That means it looks like a trusted everyday carry from day one instead of a polished showpiece. Underneath the finish is the Classic case shape that has defined Zippo since the 1930s, built from solid brass with a satisfying lid snap.
Built Windproof and Refillable for Life
The windproof performance comes from the lighter’s chimney: the small holes around the wick let oxygen feed the flame so it holds up to wind that would kill a disposable. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, which you pour onto the cotton inside the fuel chamber until the packing is saturated (do not overfill). Over time the everyday wear parts are replaceable, not disposable: keep a stash of replacement flints on hand for a strong spark, and trim or swap in a replacement wick once or twice a year as it darkens with carbon. That serviceability is the whole point of a Zippo, and our Hosts can point you to each part.
The Zippo Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. There is no receipt required and no time limit on the mechanism. If a Zippo ever fails to work, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free at their Bradford, Pennsylvania repair clinic, where Zippos have been made and serviced since 1932. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee. The guarantee covers mechanical function, not cosmetic wear, loss, or theft.

Questions & Answers
What does the Street Chrome finish on this Red Flame Zippo look like?
Street Chrome is a distressed finish Zippo introduced in 2001. The whole case, including the sides and bottom, is tumbled in a special media to replicate the random scuffs and scratches of a well-used lighter, so it looks pocket-worn even when brand new. Paired with the red Zippo flame logo, it reads as a trusted everyday carry rather than a polished showpiece.
Does this Zippo Red Flame lighter come with fuel?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships empty of lighter fluid because of Department of Transportation shipping rules. You fill it before first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid, pouring it onto the cotton inside the fuel chamber until the packing is saturated, then wiping off any excess before you light it.
How do I refill and maintain this Zippo over time?
Refill it by lifting the inner unit, soaking the cotton with premium lighter fluid, and reinserting it. For maintenance, replace the flint when the spark weakens, and trim or swap the wick once or twice a year as it darkens with carbon. These are simple wear parts designed to be replaced, which is what keeps a Zippo usable for decades instead of being thrown away.
Is this Zippo covered by the lifetime guarantee?
Yes. Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no receipt and no time limit on the mechanism. If it ever stops working, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo honors the guarantee; the coverage is for mechanical function, not cosmetic wear, loss, or theft.
Can I bring a Zippo lighter on a plane?
TSA allows one Zippo-type lighter in your carry-on as long as it is completely empty of fuel, with no fuel-soaked cotton inside. Empty lighters are also fine in checked baggage. Always confirm current TSA rules before you fly, since regulations can change.
Is this a windproof lighter, and where are Zippo lighters made?
Yes, it is windproof. The chimney around the wick has small holes that feed oxygen to the flame so it stays lit in wind that would put out a disposable. Zippo windproof lighters are manufactured in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where the company has built and repaired its lighters since 1932.
You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID to purchase. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. Like every genuine Zippo, it ships empty of fuel for safety, so add Zippo premium lighter fluid before first use. Keep fuel and flame away from children. Availability varies by store, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location has it.
