Are BIC Lighters waterproof?

BIC lighters are not waterproof. While they are designed to be durable and resistant to some elements, they are not specifically made to be submerged in water.

Here's why:

* Fuel: The lighter fluid inside is flammable and will evaporate when exposed to water.

* Mechanism: The flint, spark wheel, and other internal components can rust and become damaged from prolonged exposure to water.

If your BIC lighter gets wet, it's best to let it dry completely before trying to use it. If it doesn't light after drying, it may be damaged and need to be replaced.
