Looking to replace the o-ring in my Pineapple AAA Cu. Its just too loose and unthreads in my pocket. Looks like it came with silicone, and I feel like my silicone equipped lights do have less stichtion. Is there any benefit to nitrile? I typically use either silicone compound (which obviously I would eschew) or, more commonly, Super-Lube grease...

Not sure on the nitro vs silicon. Just finding the right size would make it feel new and tight. Mine is quite snug with original o ring

Is it? This has been loose from day one. I'll try swapping to one of the spares but they look identical. I don't suppose you would be willing to measure your o-ring?
