I have a Prometheus Parabola lighter and was wondering if anyone else has a problem with lighters crapping out in cold weather?? It seems that below 40 degrees the lighter wont work after a period of time outside.
 
Yep, I've had a problem. Use to keep my lighter in my coat pocket. Now I keep it in my pants pocket when I go outside to smoke. I have 2 different brand torch lighters and neither of them ignite if they get cold.
 
very true... same thing after just filling them...have to warm them up first
 
I'm wondering if wrapping it in one of those pocket hand warmers would do the trick??
 
I don't think its necessary. Just warm it in your closed fist for a minute or so. I keep my Colibri in my car and it never fails to light after just being warmed.
