I wanted to add a couple comments. First and foremost, I don't consider myself to be an expert on the various O-ring materials or lubes. I have done some experimenting and have some experience in use which has biased and become the basis for my opinions. I am always open and willing to stand corrected on these issues.
Another consideration regarding some of these lights is that of the electrical conductivity across some of the metal components and how or to what extent various lubes may impact this. In many lights, the ground path is caried through the threads and these are threads which are often getting lubricated. As I recall, SureFire recommended two versions of the nyogel and this was based on whether there was an electrical path involved in the lube joint.
