I have the same problem with mine. I just hold it tight in my hand for a few seconds until it warms up. That almost always makes it work as normal again.
Yes it can and as any cigarette smokers can a test to a lighter left in a car will not light right away if its cold. You can hold the lighter in your hand for a while before you light it or try keeping in a warm coat pocket. When It's starts getting real cold out I keep my lighter in the pocket with my heat pack. Basically the directions that r on your can of butane r there for the same reason. Cold gas coming out of the tube takes a while to heat up.
Simply holding the lighter in your hand to warm it for a min. or so should let it spark right up. There are no butane lighters that I am aware of that will take flame in cold weather without first being warmed. Keeping it in your coat pocket with your hand around it would be the best way to keep it warm if you don't want to wait to get it to light.
you learn a lot aobut yourself and your surroundings when your outside smoking cigars in the middle of January in Central NY. I use the bags you warm up in the micro and also the store bought hot hands. I have been looking at the Zippo hand warmer but not sure. It defintely works and your lighter should have no issues.
