Noalox and Rhodium P18+

[schismz]

I've ordered a new P18+, with my old one I used Noalox not just on the contact points, but also on the threads where the top cap and bottom cap screw into the main body and especially around the bottom button, it made everything silky smooth (for a month, then I need to clean it all up to get rid of whatever dirt or gunk has become stuck to the Noalox). It works great for me.


I know that with Rhodium using Noalox on the contact points is not needed anymore/not a good idea, but is there any downside to continuing to use it on the threads and especially the bottom button?

Does Vaseline eventually become gunk too? I've just been going bare metal for awhile now...

I no longer recommend any noalox/vaseline/deoxit-gold/etc. on the new PrecisePlus's. All those are petroleum based anti oxidants and they aren't necessary anywhere on the mod.

I've tried using Vaseline in the past and haven't noticed it get gunked up. But that doesn't mean that it didn't... I've been going bare metal for a while, too.

I think I will always use noalox on my threads, just seems to make them silky smooth, IMO
