    Need help finding a protected 16340 light (for more choice of cells)

    They are great lights. I actually just recently sold mine but it was the original version with the old UI. I just wish they wouldn't puit their high mode quite so high and medium was just a bit higher. So it could eek out a bit more run time. That's why I am attracted to the Zebralight I think.

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    So I found one potential issue. On my S Mini stainless steel I tried using other caps and it work far better so I figured there must be a contact issue. I then grabbed a 240 grit sand paper and figured I'd lightly sand where the positive end contacts the cap. After one second of sanding I saw...

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    I actually got the Efest battery that I linked to and so far so good. It seems to stay and go into turbo way longer. Maukka when you use your IMR's in the S Mini when do you know to charge the battery? I am getting conflicting info as to whether the S Mini has low voltage protection or not...

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    Just the Olight IMR that goes with the S1R Baton has protection (or at least is labeled that way). I have 2 IMR's on order that supposedly will get here Friday. I will test and report back. Thank you for all your input. It would be nice to go into turbo a bit more. I really like the S...

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    HAha I'll definitely try some IMR cells. My cells were new but protected and I am seeing several other people on the web describing what I am with protected 16340 cells. I am not sure why but for 4 bucks I'll try an IMR. Thank you!

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    With these batteries do you get the issue I have? The issue being turbo immediatly stepping down after going into turbo a few times.

    Thank you Jorn. Might a Lifepo4 cell work too? Like this K energy cell?

    I'd like advice for a better S Mini cell

    Hi, I am having an issue with my sus and ti Olight S Mini's. When I go into turbo a few times it seems the cell's undervoltage protection kicks in and drops me immediately to medium or low mode. I called Olight and they say the light itself has under-voltage protection. Do you guys think I...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    760G seems to be recommended all around the web for o-rings and threads. Here is 767a that is heavier viscosity for a decent price. I haven't used this site before but I think I may buy some and see if I like it. https://www.oveready.com/flashlight/nyogel-767aa-damping-grease-10g-tube/. Tai...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    Thanks louie and nightshade for the information. I did try to google it but couldn't find much. I also got further confused by the fact that when I searched "Nyogel damping grease" some resellers had "760g damping grease" which made me wonder if 760g was considered a light damping grease. I...
