Refillable lighters are a great investment and can provide many years, even generations, of service. They need to be safeguarded when not in use, however. Not only must the lighter itself be kept safe but those who may share the home with the smoker, namely children, need to be kept safe from the potential dangers posed by these devices.

The cigar lighters that are designed to be used in outdoor situations are generally pretty undemanding. Those which are designed for purely aesthetic concerns require a bit more care. Given proper attention to safe storage, even the most ornate lighters can be kept looking like new for many years.

Cigar lighters designed specifically to be used in outdoor situations are generally very tough. They have less-complex finishes and accents and many are made with the same sort of resilient chrome finish as are most fluid-filled refillable lighters. These lighters, when taken into the great outdoors, need only the most basic care. Make certain that they're not exposed to moisture. While they'll still light when wet, in most cases, exposure to the elements can cause them to corrode. Make certain they're kept away from dirt and debris, as well, so that there isn't a risk of fouling the ignition or jet mechanisms.

The more rugged lighters need less attention than do the elegant models but, to preserve the finish, they should at least be stored away from other items which may scratch or chip away at the finish. Keeping them in a box or a drawer filled with junk is certainly not advisable. One should make certain that their lighter is at least kept in a soft cloth, if it is a butane model. This is not advisable, however, for liquid-fueled lighters as the fuel may seep out and saturate the cloth, creating a fire hazard.

Lighters and other devices that pose a potential danger must always be stored with care. Make certain that the fuel used for any lighter is stored away from heat or flame, particularly the butane gas canisters used to refill jet-style lighters. These canisters are very safe but will have a range of temperatures for safe storage printed on the instructions. Make certain that any storage area is always within this range to avoid potential bursting.
