Lighters.my

• Disposable Lighters: Affordable, single-use lighters (e.g., Bic).
• Refillable Lighters: Can be refueled with butane
• Flint Lighters: Use a flint to create a spark ( Zippo lighters).
• Electric/Arc Lighters: Use plasma or electric arcs, USB-rechargeable, flameless.
• Torch Lighters: Produce a strong, focused flame, often used for cigars or outdoor use.

• Allowed in Carry-On: One disposable or Zippo lighter (without fuel in Zippo’s case).
• Not Allowed in Checked Bags: No lighters with fuel.
• Torch Lighters: Banned in both carry-on and checked luggage.
• Refilled Lighters: Must be emptied or have minimal residual fuel.

• Butane: A pressurized gas used in most refillable lighters (e.g., torch lighters). Cleaner burn, less odor.
• Lighter Fluid: A liquid (naphtha-based) used in Zippo lighters. Produces a stronger smell and visible flame.
• Use Case: Butane for precision or wind-resistant flames; lighter fluid for traditional wick-based lighters.

Lighters are unlikely to explode, but can be dangerous if:

• Exposed to high heat (e.g., left in a car on a hot day).
• Punctured or improperly handled during refilling.
• Fuel Leaks due to poor maintenance.

Safety Tip: Keep lighters away from heat sources and handle with care during refills.

• Disposable Lighters: 100-300 lights, depending on size (e.g., Bic lasts ~3,000 flicks).
• Refillable Lighters: Can last years with proper maintenance.
• Zippo Lighters: Nearly indefinite with regular wick, flint, and fluid replacement.
• Electric Lighters: 100-500 uses per charge, lasting years with proper care.
