For those that don't know, Ti and its various alloys are naturally very susceptible to galling, so even well machined threads will feel "gritty". Lubes with teflon, PTFE, in them are often recommended as they will help some, but nothing short of have dissimilar thread materials will remove the grittyness. For example, a Ti head on a Brass body is smooth as butter. Fluoridated grease, such as Krytox, is often recommended as well. Commonly found lube with teflon in it would be Super Lube. Beware using silicone grease on a Maratac light as they appear to use silicone o-rings which swell when exposed to the grease.
CC has done a nice job of machining the threads, and has an interesting approach to the knurling on this particular model with the knurling being knurled flat with a machining groove left for grip. To me it seems to be less likely to chew up other things such as a phone if carried together, while still being grippy enough for one handed operation. Weight wise, even the Copper/Brass models weigh next to nothing for shirt carry so this feels like a toy without a battery in it. Should be able to stash it about anywhere without weight concerns. This model like the rev 3.5 Copper one, appear to be PWM free drivers.
