I am curious what you all use to lube or grease the threads on your torches!?! Dielectric grease comes to mind...anything else? Brands, etc...

I've searched, lots of talk about lubes here. I've been a mountain biker since the early years of it, I'd look at bike shops for your lube. It's not that similar an application, but they have dry lubes that stay put and don't pick up grit. I have an array of them, probably will try wax or wax-based first. It's not a great lube for bikes, but should work well on my twist-switch threads. Teflon would be my next choice, used very sparingly. Dielectric grease is one of my favorites when working on cars, but too greasy for my flashlight. Silicon tends not to stick around. Most other dry lubes use graphite, moly, or other stuff that makes a mess.
