Owners of refillable lighters know that having a can of butane fuel available is a must even if a lighter lasts a very long time on a single refill. Without extra butane, cigar and pipe smokers may have to use a less disirable lighting device when their usual butane lighter runs out of fuel.
For most smokers, butane lighters are the preferred source of fire for lighting tobacco as these lighters leave no unusual flavor or odors on the tobacco. This is why it is of the utmost importance to always have extra fuel on hand in order to ensure the most enjoyable smoking experience.
So, what is the proper way to store butane for your refillable lighter? Storing butane fuel simply requires a few precautions and common sense. You'll find that there is a wide variety of brands and canister sizes of butane and, by law, these containers have to include instructions regarding storing and using the fuel on the canister label. Butane fuel comes in a container that is pressurized. As long as you follow the instructions on the label, you can ensure that you do not have accidents and that you keep the fuel safely on hand.
The first step is to store your butane safely. Keep it in your home, out of the reach of any children. Most canisters are safe up to a rather high temperature, so even if you live in an extremely warm climate, you will have no worries about safety. However, you should exercise the same storage techniques for butane as for your torch lighter. For instance, do not store it in direct sunlight, as this can increase the canister's temperature to unsafe levels. Store it in a cool, dry area away from sunlight and any other heat sources.
Don't ever keep your butane container in your vehicle. Temperatures inside of a car or truck on hot, sunny days can climb to very high levels. The home is always the safest choice for storing your butane as it is more safe from the extreme temperatures of a garage or car. Also, be sure that the tip of the canister remains undamaged and does not become clogged. If the canister tip does get clogged or becomes damaged, either remove the clog or throw the damaged container away and purchase a new one. Simply following these safety tips and steps will ensure that your fuel stays safe and that you always have it on hand when you need it. - 33386
