I saw recently on another thread that using lubricant on the threads of a flashlight can actually wear out the threads faster. Is this true? I am using Nyogel and I want to know if I should just lube the o-ring or both the threads and the o-ring.
Never heard that one before :lolsign:RCatR said:I usually put 10-30 motor oil on my threads(I'm not kidding)

coppertrail said:I purchased a few MagLites last week. Per the maintenance tips, I applied a bit of vasoline on the threads and rubber rings. I am assuming that this is correct?
I pre-ordered a Fenix P1D CE and have an assortment of other aluminum lights that I should probably lube, so which would be the best choice (Vasoline of Nyogel)?
Thanks!
Again, thanks. Do I need both Nyogels? Based on what I read, 760 is for the threads of Aluminum lights, and 779ZC is for "the connection between the o-rings and the bezel and tailcap on the flashlights" What is this in newb terms?D-Dog said:I bought mine from www.lighthound.com as he is a very reputable seller around here and has great prices and fast shipping.
FYI- I bought the 50g tube just because for like $4 more, you get 5x the amount Sounds like a good deal
Yep, 760, yep, the threads and rings, and no problem, thats why this forum existscoppertrail said:D-Dog - Thanks for all the info. So, get 760, and use it on the threads and rubber rings
