I have a Fenix P1 that I bought for about 20 bucks plus shipping, which IMO was a pretty good deal, about four months ago.

Anyways, I noticed that I can rotate the lens with my finger somewhat easily.

I know it will not fall out anytime soon, but is it being able to be waterproof now void?

I only ask because as I like to be nonchalant in my bragging :thumbsup: I dipped the P1 in my friend's water glass while on to show that besides the awesome amount of light it puts out it is also waterproof.

When I pulled it out however, I noticed later the tiniest amount of water vapor inside the flashlight.

When I got home I stuck it in some rice and the problem was solved.

My question is there any way to possibly to fix it or am I stuck with a now 'slightly waterproof' Fenix P1? And should I be concerned that it may now fall out?

If there is water vapor past the lens then it isn't waterproof any more. Thus, I wouldn't think of dunking it any more.

What do you mean by head cap being loose?

If it's an o-ring from above the lens that fell out, could I buy one and use some precision skills (dab of super glue) to put it back on?
