take everything completely apart, top cap & pins, bottom switch housing & spring and clean with "Nevr-Dull", then go over the tube threads and the outside of tube with the same.....then go back over everything with an ISO soaked rag & toothbrush on all the threads........double check & make sure contacts are clean if anything is seen then hit them with a pencil eraser, then go over the contact area's of the battery with the eraser....re-assemble and vape...works for me.

Sando after cleaning with the nevr dull how do you rid the smell of that stuff ?
yea i guess, never done it that way, always do it the way i described......someone else will chime in i'm sure.....Copper needs constant attention especially the threads & contacts.....some prefer the Patina but i do not......enjoy & hollar anytime!
i used to hang at Knob Creek, loved that Range, haven't been there for awhile but i'm all over Dixie HGWY and the local area
Gift all copper and brass mods to friends. Buy stainless steel mods with low voltage drop. 
I love copper but my goodness is it a PITA. A good polish (Brasso works fine) and a microfiber cloth work wonders. Heres also some at home methods: 7 Ways to Clean Copper - wikiHow
I use Blue Magic metal polish cream, as per directed. Typically applied with a polishing diaper and removed black leftover with blue shop paper towels (or anything else; just what I use). For threads I dampen the end of a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol (is that what you guys were calling ISO or is ISO some sort of cleaning agent ) and rub them good and make sure to remove any buildup or crud left from polishing.
Though recently bought a dremel for quicker work as I own several copper mods. It's a bit messier for the surrounding area (and I may have ruined a decent shirt
) I found in my first run around, so will probably be polishing mods either in garage or on front porch from now on. 
Needless to say, I have been meaning to try ketchup as a polishing agent but what I have been using (the Blue Magic) has worked great for me so far so why change?

I have used Frank's Red Hot sauce and a paper towel to remove the tarnish from my copper Cap It All atomizer cap and it works great. No worries about vaping it as I suppose it can be considered a "food grade" polish.
I clean my copper tubes with brasso. I take everything apart. After I have shined it with the brasso I will go and run it under hot water and soap. Then I will dry it off immediately.
no Noalox here, my Stainless Mec's i usually just clean & dry but sometimes they get a dab of Mineral Oil if they are real squeaky (threads only)...... my Brass & Copper ones either get a dab of Vaseline or Mineral oil on the threads it seems to help keep them clean and conductive.....also easier to clean the next time. jmo
Just a quick tip that works for me. I polish with brasso or mothers mag polish then I clean off with furniture polish. I find that I don't need to polish near as often since using the furniture polish as a protectant.
I don't use noalox. I may use high-grade bicycle lubricant on the switch as it breaks in but never on any part of the mod that is crucial to contact.
I disassemble my mod and throw it all in a little tub and soak it in vinegar for an hour. Then take a small brush to the threads, rinse, dry, reassemble, and vape. Seems to work well for me, I do it about once or twice a week.
Nevr-Dull user here. Very handy. Much cleaner than a traditional polish. But its still messy when polishing.If you want the best shine you will need to use a traditional style polish. You don't want to use Braseo, the grit in it will scratch. I love the results I get with Wenol, the blue auto formula. Its a European product, available through Amazon among other places. They make a stronger version, wenol red. Both work better than Braseo with less damage. Both leave a protective finish. No-ox-id on the threads. Renaissance Wax on the assembled mod. I can easily go a couple of weeks without any tarnishing from handling where without I'd see discoloration within two days of my fingers touching it. Copper fares better to my touch but I've been cleaning my copper mods the same way with just as nice results.
