Okay I will go ahead and use some super glue (very carefully), so the 17670's will fit my lazer?

Unfortunately, not all "Harrys" are created the same. One would think an 17670 or even an 18650 would be a 17670 and an 18650, they are not.
... and that is the sad part folks are finding out. The expensive batteries conform with the numbering scheme, the cheaper one's not quite so.
The numbers pretty much conform for unprotected batteries but grow about a mm in girth and up to 3 mm in length with the protection circuits installed. This is a moot point with the expensive batteries, where an 18650 is 18mm x 65mm. e.g the AW 18650 is true to its name, whilst the trustfire 18650 is 68mm long.
This was not a major problem when batt mods were fitted with springs to compensate for battery length variations, but is becoming a problem with the small tolerances of all mechanical devices and tube sizes to prevent "wiggle"
Tu' shae good sir!
Back before AW became widely known, I had to physically bore out the Chameleons to accept these wild protected batteries. I have a photo on this pc showing 2 protected batteries that are 2 different brands with significant size differences, but am unable to find it. So instead we'll go by your words on the topic to show the differences between protected versus unprotected.
Generic 10430
UltraFire unprotected
Trustfire Protected

Hi whiskey,
It's made by Ideal and the name is Noalox and you can find it in Home Depot by the electrical wiring. There is another one called Ox Gard too. I believe Lowe's also has the Noalox on their website for online purchase.
Happy Vaping!

Thanks WW! I Did have the spelling Kinda right LOL..I did check those places & they also looked at me funny...I'll keep looking though..Your a dear!!!
Just wait till you see their eyes when you show them what it's going on to! lol
Thanks Wway!!!
Should I be using Noalox on my Chameleon? I've only had it for a week with no problems but will it help to apply some? Thanks.
Yep, you can use it just fine. Some units do come in with a bit of a brittle finish on the threads. Either use of over time or or noalox will fix it. I hear it's also good for electric connectivity for continuity.
Each I time I grab some, it gets lost! We now have 5 or so items sitting all round hidden within the house lol.
Thanks WWay. Is it advised to use Noalox on brass components found on adapters, both sides of the switch and the battery cap as well?
both sides of the switch assembly is ok and on the top cap threads that go to the switch assembly section is ok. Just not on the adapter threads that go to the atty or on the atty itself.
Oh and a little goes a long way!! It only takes a very small amount on any of the threads.
ok found it Amajn did a video on how to properly apply noalox

Thanks for the reply Isaac. I guess we were typing in the same time. Hey, look at my location next to my name. You'll know who this is.
Thanks WWay. I thought so but I'd rather ask than mess it up
. I'm notorious for that. Btw, it has been great following the WWay-Switched show. This subforum is awesome!
Ahhhh! LOL See that!, even with 2 identities, I still like you V man!
Omg the Switch Way show! Love it!!
