I tried opening the tail cap again but i cannot open it at all…the retaining ring is kinda stuck… so it means i cannot replace the tail cap… i emailed acebeam but the reply only says to have it check to whom i bought it… i thought acebeam support international warranty
Just turn harder, often the aluminium threads when they aren’t lubricated grab onto the brass retaining rings. I had to pull a brass pill out of an aluminium host the other day and it needed two people to do it. One holding the body with a rubber gripping cloth and one with the circlip pliers with a bar going through the handle for leverage. Once it came out it was fine, but there was no lubricant, no threadlocker etc, it was just really tight and had stuck in there.
hmm I’m not sure then. Try heating the whole thing up by putting it in a ziplock bag in boiling water. Aluminium expands more than brass does so it might loosen up.
I dont want to try it anymore…. because it my bring more damage to the tail cap… besides i just trying to open it out of my curiousity…
But the sad part is that it is not that accessible to open it…
Funny thing i emailed acebeam asking for what way to open it, clockwise or counterclockwise? First acebeam replied turning it to clockwise to open it…. but no success…so i emailed again… acebeam replied trying to turn it counterclockwise…. showing only they are not sure which way to open it…… tsk tsk…
