Is lighter fluid flammable after it dries?
When lighter fluid evaporates, it disperses into the surrounding atmosphere. The gas produced by the evaporated lighter fluid is still flammable and can cause explosive chemical reactions to occur in the air and with any of the lighter fluid still left in a liquid form.
Can a lighter explode if you drop it?
It’s unlikely to explode, but it could break and spill fuel all around. If there were sparks or flame present, the spilled fuel might ignite (but not explode).
Can lighter fluid evaporate?

What happens if you accidentally inhale butane?
Butane is a gas used in lighters and as a propellant in aerosol sprays. National Poisons Centre toxicologist Leo Schep says it can cause drowsiness, suffocation, heart palpitations, temporary memory loss or death when inhaled, typically by “sudden sniffing syndrome”.
What is the hottest color for fire?

What happens if you accidentally light a dryer with a lighter?
The correct answer is that nothing bad is LIKELY to happen, other than that the lighter may not work afterwards. But there is a SLIGHT chance that you might have a fire. The gas in a lighter is extremely flammable, and there may enough of it to fill the dryer with fumes, if it breaks due to being tumbled over and over.
What happens if you put a lighter in water?
Depending on the constructrion of the lighter and how much fuel is left in it, the lighter may sink or float. If it is lit, there is a good chance it will go out. I am fairly confident that the lighter will not dissolve in the water. I think mostly not a very exciting activity.
What happens if you spill lighter fluid on your clothes?
But assuming that the lighter is made of glass or thin plastic and the tank is full of lighter fluid, and the lighter tank breaks, spilling the fluid, the most likely thing is that your clothes will get a bit of dry-cleaning. Butane ignites at 405 Celsius.
Why is my electric lighter leaking propane?
An electronic lighter may leak mutane/propane and have its spark generator damaged by water and heat. Best to try it – leave to dry, recharge with gas/flint/whatever then test it. The most likely thing to happen is that the metal clips on your lighter will get beaten off, making the lighter unusable.
