No, vapors are too few and far between to catch fire. Like candle wax, it must be preheated to the point of forming a vapor before ignition can take place. A match performs the preheating function as well as the ignition-of-vapors function. As fuel in a Zippo, charcoal lighter fluid, like motor oil, will not work.
