Lighters & torches

The Clipper Kinky Shroom is a refillable gas lighter with a cheeky mushroom design and one genuinely useful trick: tilt it sideways and the flame grows larger, making it the best lighter for bongs, pipes, and anything else that needs a flame at an angle. Made from a high ratio of recycled materials with a replaceable flint, this is a lighter you keep rather than bin. Clipper has been the go-to brand in Amsterdam coffeeshops for decades, and there's a reason — they're built to last and designed for the way people actually smoke.
Most disposable lighters burn your thumb the moment you tip them past 45 degrees. The Clipper's valve system is engineered to increase gas flow when tilted, producing a bigger flame exactly when you need it — hovering over a bowl or dipping into a deep bong. That single design detail is why you'll spot Clippers on every coffeeshop counter from the Jordaan to De Pijp. We've been stocking them since the early days of the shop, and they outsell every other lighter brand by a comfortable margin.
The Kinky Shroom design adds a bit of personality to a tool you'll pull out of your pocket ten times a day. Each lighter in this series features a playful, slightly provocative mushroom illustration — the kind of artwork that gets a second look at a festival or on a coffee table. Designs are selected randomly from the Kinky Shroom range, so you won't know exactly which one you'll get. If you order more than one, our warehouse crew will do their best to send you a varied selection.
A standard disposable lighter gives you roughly 3,000 lights before it's landfill. A Clipper gives you the same 3,000 lights — then you refill it with butane and keep going. The flint is replaceable too, housed in a removable igniter unit that pulls straight out of the top. That unit doubles as a handy poker for packing or adjusting an unlit joint or cone, which is why half the people who buy Clippers don't even realise the feature exists until someone shows them. Pull the igniter out, tamp down your herb, click it back in. Simple.
The body is made from nylon-infused plastic with a high percentage of recycled content. It's lighter than a metal Zippo — about 18g empty — but solid enough that it won't crack if it falls off a table. The round barrel shape rolls in your hand rather than sitting flat, which some people love and others find mildly annoying on a sloped surface. Honest limitation: if you leave it on a tilted tray, it will roll off. Every single time.

We sell disposable lighters too — they have their place. But if you're lighting a bong even once a day, a disposable burns through its fuel in a couple of weeks and the angle problem never goes away. The Clipper's tilting flame is not a gimmick; it's the single feature that makes bowl-lighting painless. We've watched customers switch from burning their thumbs with a BIC to casually torching a bowl one-handed with a Clipper, and nobody ever switches back.
The removable poker is the other reason. Rolling a cone and it's packed too tight at the tip? Pull the igniter out, give it a gentle poke, slide it back in. No fishing around for a paperclip or a chopstick. It's one of those "why doesn't every lighter do this" moments. Compared to a Zippo-style lighter, the Clipper won't taint your herb with lighter-fluid taste — it runs on clean butane. And at a fraction of the price, you can grab a few different designs without thinking twice.
Complete your setup: a Clipper lighter pairs well with activated charcoal filters for smoother hits, or grab a small metal rolling tray to give your Clipper somewhere flat to live between sessions. If you're a collector, order 3 or more and our warehouse will pick a mix of designs from the Kinky Shroom series.
In hand, the Clipper feels noticeably lighter than a metal lighter but denser than a flimsy disposable. The wheel has a satisfying resistance — not too stiff, not too loose — and the spark catches on the first or second roll almost every time out of the box. The flame itself is a steady, conical jet that visibly fans out when you angle the lighter past about 30 degrees. The Kinky Shroom artwork is printed directly onto the body with a smooth, slightly glossy finish that doesn't peel or flake with normal pocket wear.
Yes. Every Clipper lighter is refillable through the butane valve on the base. A standard butane gas canister with a universal nozzle is all you need. One refill takes about 5 seconds and gives you roughly 3,000 more lights.
No — designs are selected randomly from the Kinky Shroom series. If you order multiple lighters, the warehouse will try to send a varied selection so you don't end up with duplicates.
The internal valve is designed to release more butane gas when the lighter is angled. This makes it specifically useful for lighting bongs and pipes, where you need a larger flame pointing downward into a bowl rather than straight up.
Pull the igniter unit straight out of the top of the lighter. The flint sits inside the small metal tube at the base of the unit. Slide the old flint out, drop a new one in, and push the igniter back into the body. Standard Clipper replacement flints fit all models.
For bongs, yes. The tilting flame feature is the key difference — a BIC's flame stays the same size at any angle and can burn your thumb when inverted. The Clipper's flame grows when tilted, reaching into the bowl without scorching your fingers. It's the reason Clippers dominate coffeeshop counters across Amsterdam.
The removable igniter unit doubles as a poker. Pull it out and use the metal tip to pack, adjust, or unclog rolled material. Just make sure the material is unlit — the poker is for prep, not for stirring a burning bowl.
More so than disposables. Clippers are made from a high ratio of recycled materials and are designed to be refilled and reused indefinitely. The replaceable flint means you never need to throw the lighter away because the spark died. One Clipper replaces dozens of disposables over its lifetime.
