Newly Enlightened
Update: they responded to my email. 7 day response time. First email was "sounds like a thread issue" and second email was a tracking number of a new beta. New beta arrived and it's much better! I am very happy and can say customer service was top notch!!
I just picked up a copper Beta from the holiday sale and I must say it is the hardest light I've had as a twisty. I can do it one handed but it is not fun by any means. The lack of grip and the fact that the clip can't be used as leverage due to it spinning doesn't help. I have to apply as much pressure as I can for it to even move and then it jerks so to speak. Kinda like a knife with strong detent. It is definitely harder than I feel it should be and has begun to turn me off of the light. When I received my 47 mini and mini turbo I thought they were a little tighter but they were acceptable. This is way worse.
I have cleaned and applied the nano oil I bought from Prometheus and that didn't help. I plan to clean again and use one of the other supplied o rings as well as fluoro grease I use on my other lights and am hoping this helps. Other than this issue the light is great. Clip is awesome, emitter is a pleasure, and it is well built.
Anyone else have this experience and have you remedied it? I have reached out to Prometheus but am wanting to see what experiences forum members have had. Thanks.
