I just received my Nitecore EZ CR2 when I got home last night. When I unscrewed it to insert a battery I was impressed with how smooth it was. Then I turned it on and off many times and there was an intermittent roughness that it took a few minutes to figure out.
Turns out the foam around the upper contact grips the battery, turning it as you turn the light off and on. I put a very, very minute amount of Super Lube on the bottom of the battery and now its smooth as silk.
Just thought some poor soul might be having mysterious roughness issues that are easy to fix.
I have to say that I like the UI of this light. Just twist the head further to get to bright. I think I like this way better than turning the light off and on to get to the modes. Its easier to just keep turning the light with one hand in the same direction to change modes. Was going to order the Quark Mini 123, but have decided instead to get the EZ 123. I will miss the super low, low, but not that much.
