The liquid butane in a lighter was compressed, and is under pressure. At normal temperatures, if released from the lighter it will change back to a gas. Extremely rapid evaporation.
yes
There are a number of different steps to take when refilling a Butane lighter. First, shake the Butane gas can, then hold the lighter and the gas bottle upside down. After this, one should place the stem of the refill can into the bottom of the lighter and allow approximately 10 seconds for it to fill up with gas.
It's the pressure in the lighter that keeps the butane liquid. When released into the atmosphere, under room pressure and temperature, returns to it's state of gas.
The boiling point of Butane is approximately -0.5 C at sea level (This boiling point will drop with an increase in altitude given the reduced pressure). This means that as the lighter nears freezing less gas will be vaporized inside of the lighter and will make it hard to light.

I wouldn't recommend it because the lighter fluid is just a liquid and the normal jet lighter fuel is a compressed gas. Having the gas compressed forces the gas out with the perfect amount of pressure. If you just put a liquid in it, it will just sit there and not do anything; maybe if you pressurize it and then make it into a fine mist when it comes out then it might work, but it wouldn't be too practical because it would be cheaper to buy butane than mod your lighter.
It may be (Butane is a gas, Naphtha is a liquid), but alcohol is also used.
Butane.
it does because the gas is lighter then the water and is less dense and it floats

Butane will only stay a liquid under pressure. NORMAL lighters keep it in a sealed container so it only evaporates when the trigger is pressed. Zippo lighters are NOT sealed and even if they had a way to inject butane, it would all flow out the top. Zippos require a fuel that is a liquid at room temp and evaporates a little at a time so the sparks will ignite the gas. Zippo does produce a special butane lighter, however.
