copper mod threads keep getting stuck!

[Ash83]

Hi, so I bought a copper nemesis and the threads keeps getting stuck together. I of course freeze it and so far have been able to get it apart but can I oil the threads with something to prevent this from happening in the future?

This is a Nemesis style mod, or actual Nemesis? Naolox.

Well, copper is a softer metal than stainless steel, and I'm just wondering, has anyone come out with a bronze mod? It's just copper and tin alloy, and would be harder metal. We could have a bronze age of vaping....

just sayin....

Noalox. A little dab will do ya.

There are LUX versions of the GP Paps that are made with aluminum bronze.

These are just common metals... really nothing fancy is required to lubricate the threaded areas.

A little WD40, 3-in-one oil, any motor oil, even vegetable or olive oil will work...

If you're in a pinch and don't have anything handy... run out to your car, pop the hood and steal a dab from your dip-stick... you'll be good to go!!

noalox will work well.

Eddie is right get some Noalox® Anti-oxidant Compound . This happens for two reasons. One being corrosion and also juice can get in the threads and make a mess.

well, stop over tightening your mod, especially after chain vaping. Once everything is warm, metal expands, if you tighten things up when warm/hot, when it cools, yeah, she be stuck tight, don't matter if it copper, brass, ss, or gold, tis in the nature of metal.

Snug not tight, but no matter what, one will experience stuck gear, happens, try not to do it again, but, yeah, it will happen. A rag and some vise grips are handy to have also
