Nolox vs antiseize

[gal66stang]

So I have read about putting a thin layer of nolox(nolax) on the threads of battery devices/mods...is there something special about nolax or will anti seize work?

I have some high temp anti seize lube for guide pins and moving parts on brakes, etc. will that work or if i use that will i blow up my face?

Not only is Noaloxx a lubricant, it's primary use is as an antioxidant. The threading on mods is bare metal and subject to natural oxidation not unlike rust on bare steel. Noaloxx will remove the accumulated oxidation. It will appear dark and gritty within the threading. This oxidation can also interfere with the complete electrical circuit of your mod if it accumulates enough and cause your mod to not fire. The threads can also "lock up" or freeze.

I apply a little bit to my threading as part of my mod's monthly maintanance. A little bit will go a long way; a small tube will probably last you a lifetime. Put the equivalent of a couple of drops on the threading, work it into the threads with the cap on, and then remove it with a cloth or paper towel. Repeat if necessary. The threading should appear bright and shiny.

Noalox is good for protecting your aluminum mod from oxidation and not really intended for lubrication (although it may serve that function as well). Most people use it because they think it improves the conductivity of their device resulting in a lower voltage drop with the device under load.

If you just want to try and keep your threads clean and make it easier to take apart and put back together I don't see any reason why your anti seize lube wouldn't work just fine. Just don't vape it.

Thanks Batitude and Crash!

PS Crash, I have thought about a lot of interesting things i could add to my diy flavors, but the anti seize may be a little further "left of center" than I normally venture!

Thanks again!

lol...no worries. On a semi-related note I was experimenting with some Arctic Silver thermal paste on my mechanical and inadvertently got some on my RBA coil...it was the most god awful thing I ever tasted. Make sure you wash your hands really, really, really, really good.
