No, of course not. No-ox-id-a is great for leaving a thin, invisible coating that repels the gunk that builds up on bottom firing screws. Generally speaking most bottom firing devices eventually start to fire not as well as they should due to a coating building up on the bottom screw. This can be remedied with a light sanding to get them in tip top shape.

I have a Zen mini that just completely stopped firing and after a quick sand it was good as new. Some people use a coating of no-ox-id-a to prevent that situation from happening.

Noalox is fine for threads...not so good for the purpose I'm talking about.

Hey Ferret,

Where are you buying no-ox-od A Special? Crypto said ebay and I found some there but I was wondering if there was a different place to source it as well.

Bought mine from eBay.

Haven't had luck finding a BM that carries it.

Wonder if you can buy from the manufacturer in IL.

I found it on ebay so I'll order some there.

Honestly I was a little surprised...it's about the first thing in a long time I could not find on Amazon.

Its hard to find No-Ox-Id for some reason.

Guessing the manufacturer is pretty strict with it's vendors.

^ This ^ The switch on my AYS Zen stops firing after about 3 days if I don't have a thin coating on it, it turns black. No idea why, something about my skin chemistry. I've not had neeeaarly the problems with the alluminum iHy switch.

No it's not... NO-OX-ID-A-Special That's what I got, works a treat.

My hands oily too! I am a aluminium tarnishing monster!

Wait if we turn aluminium black do we have oily hands or dry hands?

Oh me and Ezkill were looking for places to buy No-Ox-Id outside of eBay. Already ordered from eBay but it was surprising more online places didn't have it.

Amazon you have failed us!

mm... well I ordered from that person and it was a great transaction, unless you have some other issue with ebay itself.

Prefer to avoid Paypal if I can.

Think I bought from the same guy on eBay.

I just like knowing there multiple vendors and a low chance of shortage.

Well I guess worst case scenario we can do an ECF coop for No Ox Id from the manufacturer.

Nope, no issue at all with ebay.

I just prefer Amazon for the little odds and ends. I'm a prime member and in literally 1000's of orders I've never had a mistake and never had anything not show up within 2 days with free delivery. I don't mind ebay at all I just like using Amazon when I can.

Also I run absolutely everything humanly possible through my credit cards, not just for protection but because I like my points. I never pay any interest or fees so the points are just like a 3% bonus on my spending. It's actually significant when you run everything through a credit card.

Amazon prime saves me huge amounts in shipping. Whenever I decide to buy something I always check Amazon first to see if its available. It usually is and at the lowest price factoring in the free prime shipping. There are a few things I can’t get on amazon mainly vaping supplies. There are some but usually not with prime shipping.

I never thought about that.

Hmm, can you pay taxes and salary with Paypal?

No idea, not tried.

Yep, we do that too.. for the credit rating though, rather than the points. I just get the earnings from my sales into paypal and even with 2 paypal accounts I have a maximum for $1k I can dump per month into the checking account. that usually leaves money sitting in the paypal account so I use it for as much as I can. I buy the computer toys through new egg and the games on steam, any e-cig stuff I can find that will use it, the lizard's worms as well, and the cat food if they have it in stock.. >.<
