Anything I can do to loosen it? It is not super tight but, fairly hard to turn. I tried lubes with no luck. Do I just have to wait until it breaks in? It is a fantastic EDC & I don't leave home without it! Help!!

have you tried CLEANING the threads first using a cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol, wiping it dry with alcohol and then lubricating it? i use silicone grease which i got from a dive equipment store and no issues with my E01 at all.

Thanks for the reply! Threads are fine. I put some plumber's grease on the o ring & it fixed the o ring problem. It works smooth now.
