any lighter fluid, except for bic lighter fluid
To check the fluid level in a Bic lighter, hold it upright and look through the transparent plastic window on the side. If the window shows a clear or light color, it indicates that the lighter is low on fuel. You can also gently shake the lighter; if you hear a sloshing sound, it still has fluid. However, if you don't hear anything, it's likely empty.

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.

An average BIC lighter can cost anywhere from $0.50-$1.50. Depending on which state you live in, the tax can be high or low.
Yes, there can be differences in the lighter fluid used in Bic lighters made in the US compared to those made in France, primarily due to variations in regulations and formulations. Manufacturers may adhere to different safety and environmental standards, which can affect the composition of the lighter fluid. However, both should function similarly in terms of performance and safety. Ultimately, the core purpose of the lighter fluid remains consistent across both countries.
no you can not refill a bic they are factory sealed
yes.
No, a Bic lighter is designed to only ignite when the spark wheel is turned, ensuring it does not self-combust.
No, you cannot adjust the flame on a standard Bic lighter. Bic lighters are designed with a fixed flame height for safety and consistency. If you need an adjustable flame, consider using a different type of lighter that offers that feature.
