What are the most frequently asked questions about our Clipper lighters? We've compiled a list for you, along with the corresponding answers.

1. Can you fill a Clipper lighter with butane gas?

All Clipper lighters can be refilled with butane. Refilling the lighter is simple. Turn the lighter upside down and locate the red dot that indicates the refill valve. Place the nozzle of the butane canister on the valve and simply press down.

2. Who invented the Clipper lighter?

Enric Sardà Clipper

Clipper was designed by Enric Sardà and has been owned by Flamagas for some time now. The lighters are usually produced in Barcelona, but now also in India and China. The first Clipper lighter was made in 1972, and it is currently the second-largest lighter manufacturer in the world.

3. What is the use of a Clipper lighter?

Clipper lighters are particularly popular among smokers who roll their own cigarettes. This is partly due to the unique removable flint holder. Clipper also produces a variety of accessories, including gas and lighter fluid for refilling. Their gas is universal and contains fewer impurities than other brands, making it an excellent choice.

4. What is the rarest Clipper lighter?

Rare Clipper lighter

Here we have one of the rarest Clipper lighters you'll ever see: the Nottingham Forest Football Club Double Champions commemorative edition. This lighter was released in the late 1970s. This particular lighter was purchased from someone who worked at the club in the 1970s. It has never been used and still has its original flint and gas.

5. Can you refill a Clipper lighter with Zippo fluid?

Clipper lighters run on gas, not lighter fluid like a Zippo. The advantage of a gas lighter is that the fluid doesn't dry out. Even if you don't use a Clipper lighter for years, it will light the first time you try it.

6. How much does a Clipper lighter cost?

The suggested retail price of a Clipper lighter is approximately €1.60 each if you buy it in a store. Online stores usually offer lighters in sets of four or more to better balance the price and shipping costs. If you buy a lighter from Bol.com, you'll often pay a higher price because the seller also has to pay a portion of the sales revenue to Bol.com.

7. What is a Clipper Jet Flame lighter?

Clipper Jet Flame

A Jet Flame lighter has a flame that can withstand strong winds. The name refers to the flame, which resembles a jet engine. The lighter still retains the iconic design that made the brand so popular.
