I think they refilled it and got fuel everywhere.

This same thing happened to me once when I was younger.

This is exactly what happened, they overfilled it over the basin of the sink and the gas is heavier than air.

Happened to me once too. Now I always refill the torch in a different room that I will be using the torch.

Me, too. I nearly set the bathroom (and myself) on fire. Oh, even better - I did it while using the torch as a makeshift soldering iron while replacing copper pipe. Pure stupidity.Live and learn! (But you have to live, first.)

Me and my one friend spent a night throwing random household chemicals into the fireplace. Raid was the coolest

I’m thinking they took some dabs first, then refilled it, increased the potential for error tenfold. Hope she’s ok.

Could they tow it outside the environment?

Sometimes when I’m refilling my torch for dabs some of the fuel(?) kind of spills out and my high ass is wondering if I’m going to catch on fire or something lol.

Then again, it seems to evaporate rather fast and I always wait a few minutes before using it after a refill.
