Nitecore Extreme Issues (Maybe Me! :) )

I think I got it to work once but now the threads are squeeking LOUD!

What kinda lubrication can I use for it? I've got some TufGlide and some Zebco Reel oil and some WD40. Would any of those be appropriate for the screw threads?

NO WD40!!

Use some type of silicone lube... I can't remember what tufglide is...

Is Zebco reel oil like a teflon based type oil? If so, you can probably safely use that...

I would recommend NyoGel for the light (the one for electrically conductive threads (759 I think)), as I have used it in the past on many lights and I too received a "NEX" this Christmas (though mine was from my grandparents ).

I too love the light and I think the UI is simple yet suprisingly complete as you can jump to max with a simple twist (as I think any light should), and the "useless unless you need it" strobe mode is carefully tucked where it is both easy to acess, yet out of the way.

Enjoy the new light and Merry Christmas

Hey guys!

Santa brought me a nice new Nitecore extreme.

I can't seem to get it to work in the user defined mode.

I'm loosening the light and then unscrewing and tightening within the .5 second time frame and I can't get it to cycle through the brightness settings.

Am I don't something wrong, are there any tricks?

Merry Xmas!

I think you are doing it backwards. From a slightly loose position, you should quickly tighten then loosen again to get it to ramp (I think, NDI works like this)
