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.
Butane torch lighters and liquid fuel filled lighters are both available with attachments aimed toward particular types of smokers. To make certain that the lighter and the attachments remain in good condition, there must be some attention paid to how the lighter is stored when it's not used for a long while. There are accessories that can protect lighters from damage during storage which are very affordable and widely-available.
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.
Keeping the lighter in a locked box is not a bad idea, but make certain that any accessories such as cigar cutters are closed when doing so. One does not want to reach for their lighter and find that the razor-sharp cutting implement is wide open. It can leave a nasty wound! The blade will also tend to dull if not properly-protected.
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.
