Noalox Question

[Cherice]

Well, I just have to ask. I have been vaping since Sept of this year. I have never once lost an atty, not even on my Xhaler at 6v Well...then comes the Noalox, lol. I have blown two 901 attys since putting it on. Is it possible I am making too good of a connection now? I rewatched Drew's video and don't think I rubbed it in quite as good as Drew did. I am holding down for the same 3-4 seconds I always have. Is it possible I originally wasn't making perfect contact and now I am with the Noalox and need to reduce the number of seconds I hold down the switch? Just wanted to hear someone else's thoughts on this. Thanks!

are you vaping at 5?

are the batteries new?? new batteries seem to have an extra high charge for a little while and then mellow down after a few uses. i blew a couple of attys pre-noalox. one was cuz i was running the atty dry and the second happened after i dropped the xhaler. but none since i started using the noalox

 

[Cherice]

Yes, I should have mentioned that. I am vaping at 5v and was when this happened. The batteries were not fresh the first time but were the second. Since then I have removed the majority of the Noalox and rubbed the rest in better. No further attys lost so far (knock on wood). I just tried boiling the attys for 10 minutes to bring them back to life but no dice, lol.

i should have mentioned you only need a tiny dab of the noalox...it goes a long way. I dont really think it was the noalox as i havent had a single atty blow from it...it couldve been just about anything.

couple of lost attys.....the price we all pay for vaping heaven at 5v lol well worth it

Sounds to me like you were just long overdue for the attys to die.

 

[Cherice]

LOL, you're probably right and it's some kind of sick coincidence. It is what it is. Got a fresh 901 on and I'm blowing smoke like a train. Thanks for the feedback guys

Where exactly were you putting the Noalox?

Umm...nevermind! 8-o

Okay... So I went to Ace and got the Ox-guard version and gave mine a nice ISO cleaning today. I tried several times to actually get the switch out but I couldn't... I do think I got some of the stuff on the button and walls of the body with the q-tip though.

Once I put it all back together - BAM! It really was working better, maybe that freaked your poor atty out Cherice LOL!! I literally made one go a teensy too dry and had to swap it out, didn't kill it but that taste - YUCKKKY POO!!

I'm curious to see how long it stays 'clean'

 

[hittman]

Cherice, it is very much possible that it was not making as good of a connection before and could have been dropping voltage at the connection. I actually blew four attys in two weeks but two were bad out of the box and I think the other two were my fault from running them too hot for too long. I now touch the atty after a few draws to check the temperature of the atty. If it's pretty hot, I give it a break. It seems really easy to heat up the 510's quick. I have an 801 that seems to be bullet proof that I can drip and chain vape with.

If you put some noalox on the threads (not delrin, but the tip / atty end) it will help there as well. Those threads become oxidized too.

good tip johnny never even thought about putting it there but your so right

Thank you. It also acts as a lubricant, so the adapter threads on like butter!

 

[Cherice]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome tip! Prior it sounded almost like I had sand in the threads when I would screw on a different atty cap, now it is smooth as silk. Every time I think I can't possibly be an happier with my Xhaler, another tip like this comes along

 

[laurel099]

LMAO.... What she said!! Like butta'

 

[dgriego]

I bought some of this noalox stuff today and cleaned my xhaler. I have had some issues with the button not engaging so I did the sandpaper thing and then cleaned it real good and dabbed a bit of noalox and rubbed that in good. I barely have to touch the button now. It is vaping like a champ!

Haha! I know what you mean about the sand. Glad it helped
