Sure. It'd have to be a lot though, just used to it boiling off very rapidly at anything above freezing temperatures.

Looking at the weather in NYC, it is below freezing right now, so maybe it really was butane, as the boiling point is around -1°C/30°F...

Regardless, this is fucked up.

Haven't tried it. Strange, the boiling point of butane is -3°C, so that has to be a lot of butane to delay boil-off for that long.

Maybe you're thinking of naphtha? That's what old, cotton wick lighters used, but butane gasifies within 30s max. Might leave an odor/residue on your hands but that's not particularly flammable.

Old skool lighter and the low pressure can of naphtha in the back, high pressure butane cylinder right:

Strange, patented means it should be findable on the USPTO system, diagrams and all. And yet..

Can one do a double-take with their eyes alone? Lol

Oh poor guy. Big cities have problems, all of 'em.

I'm sorry you had a bad time. You're still welcome to come visit if you like, and if not, that's ok too.

So long.

Uhh, raised there, watched the towers fall, etc.

"My bOsS aSkEd mE..." What a horribly boring conversation. Would you consider yourself an interesting person?

Nah man, we don't want to fuck with you except as friends. After the boomers, we all cool.

No, I think they're legally required to be self-extinguishing.

For how many cool and interesting things there are to do at all hours, so many fascinating people to meet, an endless array of delicious foods and beautiful places... A slight nose wrinkle is all it takes to dissuade you?

Lmfao.
