That would be an extraordinarily bad idea for two reasons: 1. Zippos are not air-tight like butane lighters. Butane is a gas. A small amount might become trapped in the Zippo for a little while, but not long enough to be useful. 2. As a gas, butane is extremely flammable if not controlled. For the 10 seconds that the butane was trapped in the Zippo's spongy interior, the thing'd be a fireball waiting to happen. Zippos burn (the vapour of) lighter fluid, which contains a liquid hydrocarbon mixture called "naphtha" as the main ingredient. [Edited on 09.15.2007 6:03 PM PDT]
