Lighters & torches
by Clipper
The Clipper 420 Rainbow is a refillable, nylon-bodied lighter built specifically for smokers who actually use their lighter as a tool — not just a flame source. Its barrel diameter doubles as a tamper for pipes and cones, and the removable flint assembly gives you a built-in poker for packing joints. Sold individually with a randomly selected 420 Rainbow design.

Complete your session with a Clipper-compatible rolling tray and a decent grinder. If you're loading bowls regularly, a set of pipe screens keeps ash out of your airway and your piece cleaner for longer.
Most disposable lighters are dead weight after a week. The gas runs out, the wheel stops sparking, and they crack if you drop them on a tile floor. You end up buying another one, and another, and the cycle never stops. We've watched customers go through three or four cheap lighters a month for years.
The Clipper solves all of that in one go. The nylon body is genuinely tough — drop it on concrete and it lands flat on its base, upright, no cracks, no explosion risk. When the gas runs low, you flip it over and refill with standard butane. When the flint wears down (and it will, eventually — that's the one consumable), you pull out the entire flint assembly, unscrew the base, drop in a new Clipper flint, and you're back in business. One lighter, indefinitely. That's less plastic in the bin and less money spent on throwaways.
The honest limitation: the flame isn't windproof. If you're sparking up outdoors in a Dutch November gale, you'll need to cup your hand around it. For indoor use, balcony sessions, and anything that isn't a storm, it's perfectly reliable. If wind is your main problem, a jet-flame lighter is the better pick — but you lose the tamping features.
This is the bit that separates a Clipper from every other lighter in the shop. It's not just a flame — it's a multi-tool for smokers.
Each Clipper in the 420 Rainbow range features a different design from the series — expect bold rainbow colour schemes with 420-themed graphics. The specific design you receive is randomly selected from whatever's currently in stock at our warehouse. If you order more than one, the team will do their best to send you different designs so you're not stuck with duplicates. No guarantees on that, but they've been pretty good about it in our experience.
The feel in your hand is lightweight but solid — the nylon has a slight texture to it, not slippery like the cheap plastic lighters you get at petrol stations. It's noticeably sturdier. You can feel the difference when you flick the wheel, too: there's a satisfying resistance, not the loose rattle of a disposable.
Yes. Every Clipper is refillable with standard butane gas. Flip it over, insert the butane canister nozzle into the base valve, and press for a few seconds. You get roughly 3,000 ignitions per fill.
Absolutely. Pull the flint assembly out by gripping the wheel and sliding upwards. Unscrew the small base, swap the old flint for a new Clipper-compatible flint, and reassemble. The whole process takes under a minute.
The weight distribution in the nylon body is designed so the base is heavier than the top. Drop it and it rights itself on impact. The nylon construction also means it won't crack or explode on hard surfaces — unlike brittle disposable lighters.
No — designs are selected randomly from current stock. If you order multiple Clippers, the warehouse will try to send different designs, but specific selections aren't possible.
It's one of the best options. The barrel diameter fits standard bowls for tamping, and the removable flint poker helps clear blocked downstems. The round flame also gives you more control when cornering a bowl.
With refills and flint replacements, indefinitely. The nylon body doesn't degrade with normal use. We've seen the same Clipper come back into the shop on repeat customers' keychains for years.
No. The standard Clipper uses a soft flame, which wind can blow out. For windy conditions, a jet-flame lighter is more practical — but you lose the tamping and poker features that make the Clipper useful as a smoking tool.
