Possible to use food safe oring lubricant? I'd like to know the stuff is safe if you get it on your hands.

Serial number or no serial number, I don't care . . . so long as I get in on the first run! Would be lovely to see a list of the first 100 people in this thread (and via email) that confirmed they'd buy a light. They could/should get first dibs

Ok, this is a lube question.

Why not krytox or Nyogel?

Truthfully, it's something I've just started investigating. And I have just a slight opinion. Krytox eg2000 looks good.

Disclaimer:
You would have to be extremely anal/obsessive to make a decision on a flashlight purchase based on the lube used.

You know who you are.

At this time, I do feel the need to make a demand.

PICTURES!!!!!!

Computer renderings, drawings on a napkin.

Looks do matter. I don't care how good her personality is.

I've used Vaseline and nyogel for years and never had issues. I've heard people say don't use petroleum jelly but it's never hurt anything.

I mean, how are we supposed to see the light

If we can't see the light?





PS: I checked with the Dalai Lama. He said that was some profound sh*t. And if dibs applies, I get first call. Just ask him.

Vinh, out of curiosity, how much would it add to the price if the light was factory coated with cerakote?

Cerakote & DLC might be an "aftermarket" option that I will provide. I like HA III because its tough. I might have a choice for natural anodization too.

For aluminum think you are considering 7075 find a qualified source for MIL-A-8625 Type III (just means colored). I am military aerospace and there HA is not all the same. Cerakote is not something you want to fool with PVD yes but expensive.....

I am a huge fan of DLC, but I have not seen it done on aluminum.

DLC over polished Ti is really nice.

Ordering several Viton sizes to find best fit and proto testing. Most crucial part

Unique tail cap intended for under water and glove twisty operation. I assume most will edc the clicky version.

 

[Hoka Hey]

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

Will we be able to switch between twisty and clicky? Easy parts swap, or 2 separate lights?
I prefer clicky, but when it's -20f a twisty is operable without taking off gloves. And unfortunately winter is coming.

Why not buying both tails (if it's going to be an option)? Problem solved...
