That's great, Jabba!#1 I got the Deoxit D pen in the mail today....tried it...much to my surprise....my back end no longer gets hot! You could blow me over with a feather.....serious.....the back end is cool as a cucumber after one application. AWESOME! We shall see how long it takes before I need to reapply.
#2 The SS GH that I have been using is perfect...and I got it from bobinthesaab on Ebay. Fast shipping...no problems whatsoever. The 2nd SS GH that I bought as backup came from some vaposhop in the Netherlands. I've never used the backup SS GH....but I tested it once to see that it does heat up. I would not hesitate to order from the Saab guy on Ebay whatsoever.....also referred a friend to that old auction...his is also running perfectly. I paid a bit more of a premium than current auction(s).....well worth it imo....to avoid the long and unknown wait period from HL.
Pretty excited about the deoxit D pen and my now cool back-end. Now it is official....my GH is the holy grail. Battery was fine before...curious if this will improve things. Update after more use....but as is...I wouldn't change a thing!
I have been using DetoxIT (Gold now that I've learned "D" is for restorative rather than maintenance - or at least the first application) for about a week now, and two days ago I felt the need to apply the Gold for the first time since doing the first "D" clean. I'd be curious how you fare.
This is the Q-Tip from my week-longish test. It was turned a shade of black/gray after wiping the mouthpiece threads inside and out. The photo doesn't really pick up how dark it is, but there are dark-colored bits in there.

Great pics, Green. Looks like mine as well. Makes me feel like I should really take care of those threads, because they don't get "better" with use!
Have you used DetoxIT on the threads at all? Maybe its me, but it really seems to make the screwing/unscrewing feel smoother.
What @kingfisher said about the threads is right on; all those spikey edges on the threads is where the oxidation will more likely occur between.
