Siri doesn't work when connected to Bluetooth speaker?

So I have an iPhone 7 connected to a jbl flip 3 speaker. When I use Siri, it doesn't listen to my voice. It activates when I press the button or when I say hey Siri, but after that nothing happens. It says go ahead I'm listening but it doesn't pick up any audio. The line on the bottom that moves when It hears sound doesn't move

I just dropped my iPhone in hair gel?

Help I was doing my hair and I dropped my phone in a tub of gel and the charger port and the headphone port still works but when I put music in without headphone and it sounds muffled.

Rechargeable electric lighter? Airport?

I'm wondering if anyone has experience traveling with a electric lighter?
I bought one to take home and i can't find any info on how i have to store it or if i'm able to bring it with me. Its not a torch.
It looks like a mini iphone with a lock switch and when you slide it down it heats up the circle kinda like the car lighter.
I can't figure out if i have to put it in my checked or carry on so any info will help.

Is it worth it paying a warranty deductible on a 6s Plus with the iPhone 8 only two months away?

I have a 6s plus and the phone was stuck in headphone mode so i tried cleaning the headphone jack with a qtip and the qtip then broke off in the head phone jack! I was able to get it out but now the headphone jack feels lose and doesn't work. I have warranty to replace it but the deductable is $175. I'm not sure if it is worth it to pay that amount of money when the iPhone 8 is only 2 months away. That money can almost make a full downpayment on the 8. Not sure what to do.

Added (1). The qtip fixed the problem and my phone is no longer in headphone mode, however, it created another problem by breaking my headphone jack!
