Noalox

[buGG]

* Anti-oxidant and anti-seizing compound
* Reduces galling and seizing on aluminum conduit joints
* Suspended zinc particles penetrate and cut aluminum oxide
* Carrier material excludes air to prevent further oxidation
* Improves service life of aluminum electrical applications

i'll google it for you

apparently it improves taste too.

Silentt, yep, it's absolutely correct, just a very little.
I added just a little of Noalox on UFS center post, on button inside, on spring (just in case) and my SS GGTS works like a Hurricane!!
Do not put Noalox on any parts of your body.

Where can I get the smallest size of this in the US? I don't really feel like paying 8 bucks to get 4 oz. when I'm probably gonna use .0008 oz. of this stuff...

I Googled it and you can order .5 oz tubes. You can save half the price. For 1/8 the product. Before shipping.

I made the mistake of drowning the threads in noalox... GG is correct, just a ver little lol...

First place I looked was google. I only found eBay and amazon. Mind posting a link?

Is it true no noalox on the UFS? Only Vaseline?

 

[buGG]

it's one way to remove aluminum oxide and prevent seizing of your juice

 

[casualuser]

So it's okay to use noalox on the threads and orings that come in contact with the juice? Like the UFS top cap for instance?

Causal - Noalox is not something you want to come into contact with your juice. Be careful where you put it also because it is conductive and could cause a short. I use it on the GGTS on all the threads below the CT. I would not put it on anything above the threads that attach the battery tube to the CT. Use vaseline on all else.

Casu, noalox is not nessesary and to my opinion there is no reason to use it at all. Vaseline will do the job. As Captain said DONT USE NOALOX above the threads of the extension (the piece after the telescope) because its dangerous. Also there is no reason to do it because current doesnt flow above the connector. We use noalox for contactivity, something that is not nessesary after the lower threads of the connector

 

[casualuser]

I'm glad I have you guys to guide me bec I probably would have put it all over. I stopped where the tube attaches to the collector tank - where the top of the battery lies. Thanks y'all.

bingo! but why is the assumption that this stuff is conductive in the least or that it will cause a short circuit if slathered on keep coming up? other products can and will do this, but the manufacturer of noalox makes no claims about conductivity.beside anti-seizing and galling, why is it being used on stainless steel, and why aren't other less toxic, less prone to grime and grit products being sought out in its place? just one of those products i guess that's been talked up so much that the myth surrounding it takes on a life of its own.

Feel free to endorse your favorite anti-oxidant non-toxic grime & gritless anti-seizing and galling compound here!

Bugg - On the back of the Noalox bottle I have it says "Promotes good ground continuity" and I take that to mean it is conductive. If it doesn't mean that in your language, then please inform me. The reason I use it on SS is because, in addition to good ground continuity, it also "reduces galling and seizing" which I know from experience SS is prone to. There may be better products for SS but I also use the Noalox on my alum GGTS to prevent oxidation of the threads, so if one product will work on both alum and SS that is what I am going to use. Sorry if that upsets you. The only myth about Noalox is apparently the one you entertain.

Hi.captain.
Im not the most informed when it comes to electrical but when it says it promotes continuity that's because it inhibits corrosion which would lead to loss of continuity.
I maybe wrong but that's what id say.

Just my

forgot to add wouldn't it say increases if it helped bridge contacts also there doesn't seem to be any conductive ingredients in the formula

 

[buGG]

nah not upset, but it's weird that it goes on and on. continuity is just the promotion of an uninterrupted flow of current, the flow itself would be the conductivity. it won't create what's not there, so it won't short circuit the unit any more than juice would. noalox speaks of continuity because on aluminum mods the oxide that is formed can interfere with and drop conductivity severely. so by promoting continuity, it's zinc particles help protect the aluminum from oxidating, sacrificing themselves in the process, and conductivity that would have otherwise been there remains continuous. not a problem as i see it with stainless steel, as no aluminum oxide is formed and the oxide layer that is formed from the chromium doesn't further inhibit the alloy's conductivity. using it for aluminum, or using it for it's anti-seizing properties is fine with me. i don't like the stuff and haven't had a need for it, but mostly i don't like some of the claims made about it that have gone on and on at ecf for years.

Anti Corrosive Zinc Paste (ACZP)Zinc containing anti-corrosive pastes only protect an existing good electrical connection ...they will NOT improve a poor old connection, so they sure as hell wont improve anything if slathered on the outside of a poor connection. Disassembly and a good cleaning are required first.
Formulation viscosities range from Burndy's Penetrox, a thick paste with very firm, almost putty consistency, which is just about guaranteed to stay where it is applied - even overhead or at elevated temperatures, to Ideal's much thinner Noalox which totally separates in the container, needing to be remixed before use. ACZP is actually non-conductive! The conductive zinc particles...more like zinc dust really, are suspended in non-conductive grease, and so are not in contact with each other...no direct conductive path actually exists across a blob of it

 

[Captain Morgan]

If Noalox will not complete a circuit, how do you explain StarsAndBars experience here on page 3: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...90581-how-properly-apply-noalox-your-pvs.html

I know Noalox has conductive zinc particles suspended in a non-conductive grease, but when contacts are forced together the zinc particles can compress and provide a bridge between the contacts for conductivity, and in rare cases cause shorts. So to say it can NEVER cause a short is not totally accurate.
