Another important point - the lighter can stand on its base working as a candle. In fact, I was carrying mine in the jeans pocket on a key chain for several month (before putting the tape over it) - it's never unscrewed by itself.

Again, just by the way, the CountyComm have the smaller version of this great lighter in steel and titanium now: http://countycomm.com/tipeanutlighter.htm
Just bought one to experiment with a necklace kit for my scuba trips.
