[hiddenusername]

what lubes is everyone using here ?

the 'mercans are saying noalox or ox-gard, both of which seem to be more of a US product than redily available in UK (through my short search)

Silicon grease from Fasttech .. applied very thinly with a cotton bud and all threads screw as smooth as silk www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003861/1277403-silicone-grease-for-flashlight-maintenance-5g

Seriously, it is really good stuff digicig ...  it can also be used on "o" rings very sparingly to prevent them perishing. I always smear a tiny drop on the 510 connectors of my atties, battery tubes, battery caps etc and everything screws on and off smooth as silk .... no squeaks or scraping and no danger of cross threading as threads become worn.

threads on mech mods.

I have seen people (on american forumes) mentioning conductivity and was wondering if I should be looking for a conductive lube for the threads.

found some top end silver conductive grease but its like 45 quid for a small tube . . . . . .

that would more than likely do the job . . . . . just wondering about the conductive lubes though . . . . . .

If it's a top end mod the use some vasseline or the noalox ONLY if your threads need lubricating and until the threads run smooth
After that then clean the threads and leave them clean. If you leave lubricant in threads and such then you'll find that dust will find its way inside and when mixed with lubricant becomes a grit.
I only really bother lubricating when the mod is new and is bedding in.
