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.

∙ 14y agoZippo BLU are butane type lighters so yes.
As far as the classic wind proof wick type zippo the answer is NO, no no no no NO.
Butane will evaporate immediately when exposed to open air. If you were to quickly soak the cotton wadding in butane and then try and strike the lighter you would be lucky if you still had a hand left afterwards.

∙ 14y agoA BIC lighter can be filled with Butane or Propane.
I do however also think that it can be filled with Ethane and Methane.
Common lightergas is Propane and Butane.

∙ 11y agoThe classic Zippo lighter uses naphtha-based lighter fluid, stored in the body at atmospheric pressure and conducted to the spark wheel by means of a braided fabric wick. Butane lighter fuel is a gas at atmospheric pressure; in butane lighters, the fuel must be stored under moderate pressure. Thus, it is not suitable for a classic Zippo.

∙ 13y agoNo. Butane is a pressurized gas. Zippo lighters use liquid fuel, or kerosene.

What is the difference between zippo fluid and butane?
Butane lighters burn hotter but use up fuel fast compared to regular lighter fluid lighters which do not burn as hot but do not use up fuel as fast.**The answer is found in chemistry. Butane is a specific chemical, ie. C4H10; an alkane with four carbons and ten hydrogens. Lighter fluid is not so specific in its contents - it is generally defined as a highly combustible (thus high octane) hydrocarbon; Naptha.
What Can you fill a butane lighter with?
you can fill a butane lighter with lot's of things but you only want to use butane or (only if you have an adjustable lighter) propane. some of my freinds tried Ethane and they could either get it to burn a lighter up or it wouldn't light so it's hard to balance if you use that. I PLAY WITH FIRE :)
Why is the methane in a cigarette harmful?
There is no butane in cigs. Jackass. For the Jackass who said there is no Butane in cigarettes..... Butane - One other component in cigarette residue is Butane, which is the odorous liquid used in lighter fluids. One would be surprised to know that Butane is not only used in lighting up sticks of cigarette, but it can be found within the cigarette as well. Inhaling Butane with each drag of a cigarette is very harmful to a person's respiratory system.
Can not fill butane in lighter How do you fill a butane lighter How do you fix a butane lighter?
BUTANE FILLING PREMIUM BUTANE IS REQUIRED TO INSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE Of YOUR LIGHTER! LIGHTERS REQUIRE THE CLEANEST BUTANE AVAILABLE AT A PRESSURE OF 45 PSI. RECOMMENDED PREMIUM BUTANE BRANDS ARE PACKAGED IN (10-13 oz.) CANS WITH A METAL FILL TIP NOZZLE. NON-PREMIUM BUTANE (CLIPPER, RONSON, SUN) AND BRANDS WITH PLASTIC FILL TIP NOZZLES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR IGNITION LIGHTERS AS THEY MAY CAUSE INCONSISTENT IGNITION AND PERFORMANCE. # You may be inclined to shake the butane can before using. NEVER do this, even though some websites actually say you should. Shaking adds too much propellant to the fuel and can result in accidents. # Fill with lighter in upside down position. # Put nozzle tip directly on valve opening and press down firmly for 4-5 seconds. # Butane spray back may occur with some lighters when tank is full.If the lighter is not equipped with a butane level window, use the following steps to ensure tank is full:a. Hold lighter in upside down position.b. Depress the filler valve with a small screwdriver. If liquid is expelled from the valve, stop immediately; the tank is filled to maximum capacity. # Warm the lighter in your hand for at least 30 seconds. Wait an additional 2 minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter. This allows enough time for excess butane to dissipate and the gas in the lighter to reach room temperature. # Burn things... ;)
How do you remove permanent marker from eyeglasses?
You can try lighter fluid. Like the Zippo cigarette lighter fluid. This product is good for removing many things. Not sure if it will take off permanent marker but it is worth a try. use nail polish remover, i find it is the best thing.
Does zippo lighter take the same lighter fluid as a bic lighter?
No. Bic lighters -- and most other throwaway lighters -- use butane gas, which liquefies under modest pressure. When struck, the pressure tank is opened and the butane vaporizes and travels through a small orifice, or jet, to the spark wheel. Zippos, of course, use a naphtha-based liquid lighter fluid and a woven textile wick, which conducts the fluid to the spark wheel.

Can you use normal fluid in a Zippo lighter?
Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
What type of lighter fluid do you use for torch lighters?
Butane, but I know there's a better one though. Butane is like the standard, while you could buy higher end fuels.
Can you put zippo lighter fluid in a jet lighter?
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.

Is butane what you use to make a blue flame if so can you use it in a normal lighter or do you have to put it in a special blue lighter?
butane compared to methane is that butane has an extra carbon and 2 hydrogens, nothing to do with colour, maybe butane reacts faster and can create huge flames
Where can you find Zippo lighter fluid?
Yes, and many newsagents sell the official Zippo lighter fluid, as well as other brands (Swan etc). yes pretty much. You can also use Ronsonol lighter fluid.
What can you use hydro carbon gases for?
Hydrocarbon gasses, namely methane, ethane, propane, butane, and isobutane are primarily used as fuels. Methane and ethane are in natural gas, propane is used for grills, butane and isobutne are in lighter fluid.
Is it good to use a butane lighter with a hookah?
Sure, it's fine. I think the people in the Hookah places use butane lighters themselves.
What is the chemical name of lighter fluid?
Most modern lighters use butane. It is liquid under pressure but vaporizes when released. Butane lighters have no wick and make a slight hissing sound when in use. Lighters with a wick use a liquid fuel that is naphtha-based.
What do you light a cigarette with?
You can light a cigarette with almost any fire, but the intended item to use for this is called a cigarette lighter. Cigarette lighters may use lighter fluid or butane, and some are electric like those in cars or mounted on walls in older buildings.
