Do the new Reo's with gold pins still need Noalox?

Definitely do not file the new pin as it will take the gold plating off. Most just use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean the pin.
I haven't used any noalox yet but Rob suggests that you should use it about once a month (+/-)

It's mostly dependent upon the resistance of the attached atomizer. Anywhere below 0.6, I see sparks.
I make sure there's a bit on my battery's positive terminal, regardless of the build.

Your question has been answered, but I'd like to offer this as a tip/trick for any vaper who ever reads this thread:
A long time ago, I got in the habit of using noalox on my charger contacts when I noticed a couple of my chargers had aluminum terminals. I reapply maybe every three or four weeks... some ends up on my batteries - therefore some ends up on my pin and spring. I never have to noalox my REOs (or other mods I used to use, for that matter) and their contacts all look brand new after a quick wipe with an alcohol prep pad.
A little dab will do ya. The 5 oz bottle in my toolbox at work has been there for I don't know how many years and has been used for all sorts of electronics, automotive, and you-name-it applications where AC or DC has to get from here to there via two pieces of metal touching each other. There's a half ounce tube rolling around my desk here somewhere that's been with me at least a year... I probably have enough in those two containers to last me a couple of lifetimes.
