I have both and both seem to work fine. I can’t say I feel any difference. I seem to always grab the Nyogel since I have a large tube of it and been using it for 5 years or more. The Super Lube I have only had a couple months but it works good too.
For titanium threads you need a grease with Teflon. Monky Spunk works well on titanium threads.
The best thing about Sil-glyde is that you can pick it up at Napa and get anywhere from a small to a huge tube of it. I got it mainly to lube the weatherseals on my cars, but it’s good for brake parts and flashlights as well. It’s really pretty cheap too.
Good to know Sil-glyde works well on lights. I too bought it for brakes, and have used it on knives and firearms since then. I guess I’ll try it out on my lights now as well. Good call everyone.
I use Krytox GPL 205 on my lights. It’s a bit expensive and overkill for this purpose but I already have it around for use on other projects. It’s a fluorocarbon based grease with fantastic properties. It works great on all types of threads including bare aluminum and titanium.
I picked up Super Lube 21030 from Harbor Freight. It works really good. The three ounce tube should last a good long time.
The ultimate test was using it on a free flashlight I received from Liion Wholesale. It is a very cheaply made flashlight, the threads feel really thin and sharp. Super Lube made a noticeable difference on them.
