So since I know most people store there lasers batteries out, at least I do. I thought I would start a thread about lubes to use on the threads for our hosts. As they see so much use of tailcap on and off lube is essential.
As im sure many of you have found the threads on cheap hosts like the C6 and 501b's are pretty bad, and dry they are just plan horrible feeling but adding a quality lube can make a huge difference.
Personally I use Nyogel on non o-ring hosts and Krytox on o-ring hosts. I find the krytox is a great product it stays on for a long time is ok with either silicon or rubber O-rings and you need VERY little of it, I have a 30ml bottle ive been using for years and I own over 40 flashlights/lasers that I use it on, I reapply every time a light goes underwater for any length of time or every few years whichever comes first.
So what do you guys use to lube up your lasers
