Simple really as title, silicone grease is ok except on silicone orings, and I have no idea what the I3sEoS Orings are made of.
Thx.
Thx.
Is Nitecore SG7 Silicone grease safe to use in Olight Orings.

Nitecore says it's "suitable for all flashlights" Some pictures actually show it being applied to orings. The description at Goinggear reads, " Lubricating silicon grease for extending the life of electrical contacts and lubricating surfaces that are conductive." If it's really just silicon grease, it should be fine. I used plain, silicon grease for a long time before Nyogel and it seemed to do the job without swelling orings like petroleum does.

Yuo thx I thought it would be, it can be used on most things, I used it on the D40A no problems and my led lensers just was not sure on plights oring made from I think it will be fine (only orings I can't use it on are silicone orings as it makes them swell up I think??)

I've been using SG7 for a while. Seems to work very well. haven't noticed any O ring problems so far.

Same here, have been using it for over a year on the o-rings for all my flashlights and never had a problem.
