I just got my L0Pse, and I like the multiple levels, but, like others, I'm finding it hard to turn on with one hand. I searched on all the "L0Pse" plus "O-ring" threads, and tried the suggestions: swap in the (ostensibly) smaller spare O-ring, lubricate it (I used Nyogel 759G from Lighthound), sand down the outer edge of the O-ring, etc. but it's still quite stiff, especially compared to my L0P.

The O-ring seems to sit above the threads (unlike on the L0P, where it is almost flush), and I wonder if the ring's cross-section is too large, so that it can't fit all the way into the groove. Or maybe the O-ring diameter is just too big.

So, can anyone recommend an O-ring size (and preferably the type, and a good source, if that matters)?

I'm really eager to start using my L0Pse, but it needs to be even more one-hand-friendly than the L0P in order to cycle through the different levels.

Thanks!
