FWIW - some companies' mineral spirits is really naphtha, but others has a completely different smell. Oddly enough, Ronson lighter fluid reformulated their lighter fluid to be "less flammable" and instead of being more naphtha based, they use more mineral spirits/paint thinner in it. I have a bottle of the old stuff (blue cap) and a bottle of the new stuff (red cap) - they smell different and burn different. Enough of a difference that I won't use the new red capped stuff in my Zippo lighters.
