These are butane torch lighters, which Zippo has gone to great lengths to make sure are still "identifiable as a Zippo". Specifically, the lid and cam were "tuned" so that the lighter still makes the distinctive "Zippo click", and also it is one of the few butane torch lighters to use a flint and striker wheel. [33]
Clipper lighters; on the left, the flint system which has been removed from the orange one. Clipper is the brand name of a type of refillable butane lighter, designed by Enric Sardà and owned by Flamagas S.A. [1] since 1959. The lighters are mostly produced in Barcelona, with others manufactured in Chennai and Shanghai. [2]
Such lighters are often far hotter than normal lighters (those that use a "soft flame") and can burn in excess of 1,100 °C (2,010 °F). The windproof capabilities are not achieved from higher pressure fuel; windproof lighters use the same fuel (butane) as standard lighters, and therefore develop the same vapour pressure.

In 1955, the company began selling refillable lighters. [1] Its first lighter model was called the Vu-Lighter. The Vu-Lighter was identical to the Ritepoint lighter and was rumored to be made in the same factory. The only difference was the name on the bottom. The second model was an innovation with an external pump button on the side of the tank.
Lighter fluid or lighter fuel may refer to: Butane, a highly flammable, colourless, easily liquefied gas used in gas-type lighters and butane torches; Naphtha, a volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used in wick-type lighters and burners; Charcoal lighter fluid, an aliphatic petroleum solvent used in lighting charcoal in a barbecue grill
It is the principal industrial method for producing the lighter alkenes (or commonly olefins), including ethene (or ethylene) and propene (or propylene). Steam cracker units are facilities in which a feedstock such as naphtha , liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethane , propane or butane is thermally cracked through the use of steam in steam ...
Butane (/ ˈ b juː t eɪ n /) is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane exists as two isomers, n -butane with connectivity CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH 3 ) 3 CH . Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure.
