I keep the steel atty/carto threads dry.
I apply vasoline on aluminum body threads to prevent galling.

I don't use it on my attys either, but I use it on my REO by placing a tiny bit on the point of the switch/battery contact. I also use it on the threads of the body of my SD's, as well as the top of the screw that acts as a switch. I also routinely put a spot on the top spring. I find it not only enhances the conductivity between electrical "parts" but also acts as a lubricant for such threads.
Boy, that stuff works great. I have a new NoEgo qnd the threads were a little balky. I wiped them out, wire brushed them and applied some Noalux, now pieces go together real smooth.
Lowe's carries it . It's just nobody there knows , where it is . Go to the electrical area , usually on bottom shelf . In a blue and white box . Made by Ideal . Just bought some , the other day .
lowes does carry it. in my local lowes it was in the plumbing department, on the bottom in a cardboard box. I missed it several times, and not a single person there had a clue what I was talking about.
I put just a wee bit on all contact points besides the threads. Even the springs. When performance of the mod goes down, noalox aids. Just don't forget to clean contact points and sometimes use a wee bit of sandpaper. Checkout SuperTManufacturing's website for video on contact points and using noalox.
yup, more conductivity means more amperage at the end point.. the heater coil/atomizer which means a better vape. I used to put it on everything.. threads, springs, battery tops/bottoms anything that made a mechanical contact. now I just buy bigger and better batteries, then when I'm bored I go put it on everything, and get clown away all over again at how good vaping is. it makes my buzz hit like a freight train.. now I'm just waiting for the subagen v3 tanks to get finished being milled, then I'll be fiending all over again. all obsessive over vaping again, and my wife will hate me and all of you.. again.
dspin.....I couldn't find the video at Super T. Could it be somewhere else? I want to take care of my gear and only have the dab that comes with a Reo. I'm not really sure where to put noalox . Of course I need to take the return trip to Lowe's to try to find it again .
Thanks for the helpful info.

I remove oxidation from contacts with Tuff Stuff eraser, PGA, etc.
I try to avoid scratching contacts and damaging plating.

On your REO, remove the battery and look inside, up where the push button is. Pressing it down, you'll see it bends a strip of metal down to make contact with the top of the battery. The "latest" generation has a small point on it to make contact. You need a *very* tiny bit there, and a little on the top of the spring the battery sits on won't hurt either. Then you're good to go. Some REOnauts don't bother with being that fiddly, and just put a bit on the top of the battery where it makes contact.
Here you go, same video on youtube also. Coudn't find it either on SuperT now. He has changed his site around looks like

Just received an E-Power with squeakily tight threads - no Vaseline in the house, no mineral-oil grease either.
At the back of the medicine cabinet, found a tube of zinc based cream for diaper rash...perfect!
