I have never tried it, but I don't see why not, I doubt very seriously that the vacumm is strong enough to crush the lighter, pretty sure it couldn't hurt a butane canisters (although I wonder why one would want to seal one of those), and I am positive that it couldn't hurt ammo... _________________________ OBG
