Don't use a lot of Noalox. Use it on the telescopic tube threads and the battery cap threads. You don't want it on the 510/ego threads and you don't need it on the removable top cap threads (top cap is not part the B- circuit). I put a little Noalox on the top of threads of both threaded surfaces using a Q-tip or fingertip. Then I thread the pieces back and forth a few times to distribute the Noalox evenly. Wipe of the excess, wash hands after use and don't get it your eyes.
Noalox collects dust and will eventually begin to dry out and stiffen. I clean it off with a soft cloth dampened in alcohol every couple of months and replace the Noalox. Living out west in a dusty area I need to do this more often than others.
