<p>Essentially, yes. It will create a vacuum causing a cap seal while it cools. If it is not crimped tight back onto the globe though, it will loosen itself off and unseal with the rise in pressure from heating.</p>

<p>Even though I "broke" the seal (it was just a soft pop, and what sounded like air being pulled in) I should still be able to use it if I get it off, right? I mean, I only twisted the thing.

<p>HAH, you will release the genie from the bottle! The project has begun at least ;) I have not seen a kitted Hot Rock :) You can substitute the lighter for something else, like a spoon handle or a marker, just adjust your leverage finger. Talk someone else into doing it, let them bust up their finger, HAHA!</p>
