    My follow up question would be: could those lighters hold isobutane at sea level without the potential of rupture due to their better interior construction?
    Yes to the first question and I have no clue to the second question. I can ask one of my lighter reps on Monday

    I appreciate it. Also, if one uses an adapter to introduce an isobutane/propane mix, what's the greatest percentage of propane that could be in the mix to avoid explosion if left in a hot car at moderate altitude, say 120 F at 875 mbar.
    It's not a real hobby unless it interferes with your work.
