Grand/Mini better connection mod.

Anyone els take off the spring on their mod, put naolox on the bottom of the spring base and on the unanodized screw countersink? I just did mine and I could swear it hits harder now. I ordered a bottle of naolox and will apply more when it gets here!

 

[RedAlert]

Yep. Did it months ago. I even checked the mods resistance before and after and found a .1 to .2 ohm difference

i also mixed some graphite powdered to my noalox to increase conductivity.

I also removed my spring and put some naolox under it.Seems I have to take apart things to make sure if I have a problem I have the tools to repair if needed. Lol. Never seem to leave anything alone. Lol.

Thank you!!!!!! I just did it to my mini, I didn't even know there was anything wrong, now its perfect!!!!!!

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Interesting. Will attempt this procedure on my mini and grand when I get home from work

 

[Nic_Fan]

Yep. Time to do it again in fact. Like the graphite idea!

The counter sunk hole is done on all the mods before they leave the shop .Putting naolox under the spring wont do anything for you but make a mess .power wont transfer through the anodized body The screw hole on the other hand wont hurt to clean it and apply some fresh naolox .

This what I meant. I use a toothpick to get a little in the screw hole, then reattach the spring

i found naolox on rtdvapor, but can anyone else suggest a place to get it possibly locally?

im from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

maybe a suggestion as to what type of store i can find it at?

thanks!

Home Depot has it here in the states. If you ask they may not know they have it. I found it hanging on a wall with the bags of electrical connector caps in my store but others have found it by the meters. I think it was about $7 for the bottle.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Well...Lowes and Home Depot have been known to carry it. You can probably find it in any home improvement store. Should be in the electrical department near the multi-meters.

 

[chingbo]

Awesome, thank you!!

I put the naolox on the screw countersink , then I put in the screw and added more naolox to the screw threads from the inside of the mod, then i screwed in the spring. I think its a better way of doing it than just puting it on the countersink alone.

Just in case anyone is going out to find this it is spelled NOALOX. Sorry OCD made me do it!

 

[chingbo]

I found some at Rona, but it wasn't called the same thing and didnt come with a wire brush.

does a wire brush really matter..? lol

My nearest CDN tire didnt have any tho.

You don't need a wire brush...mine didn't come with one *shrug*

Just make sure it is "anti-oxidant" and "conductive"

 

[chingbo]

that's exactly what Rona has

Looks like that will do. I found this in their catalogue:
Ox-Gard™ Anti-Oxidant Compound
The perfect safeguard for aluminum-to-aluminum, aluminum-to-copper
wire connections and aluminum conduit joints.
• Guards against oxidation.
• Improves conductivity; penetrates aluminum oxide to maintain
inter-strand and inter-conductor current paths.
• Produces a cooler connection.
