Okay! Back in business! I received my replacement Thunder from Mike today, and I really do dig this thing. One bit of advice for those considering buying one of these, DO NOT unscrew the tailcap from the light and start clicking it on and of. I wouldnt put any pressure on the button unless it is screwed all the way down against the batteries. The original one I had may have been a fluke, but I think this is a good way to avoid the issue I had with my first Thunders tailcap. The tailcap assembly came loose from its housing after I removed it a began clicking it on & off.
I still think the Thunder would benefit from some sort of grip enhancement similar to a "LeefGrip" just ahead of the tailcap assembly.
