How to Prevent Lighter Leaks in Purses or Pockets
Lighter leaks typically occur when pressure is applied to the fuel valve or when the lighter is exposed to heat. Using proper storage methods can greatly reduce the likelihood of accidental leaks.
Protective cases keep the lighter secure, prevent valve compression, and reduce friction. Storing the lighter away from heat and heavy objects also reduces risk.
