Default Re: What's the best lube...

You wouldn't want to lubricate that at all. You'll just end up degrading what you have. It's mentioned that it is made out of ABS plastic, which is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. The Butadiene acts as a self-lubricant, and also gives some flexibility and good wear resistance (depending on percentage). There is a very good chance that the actual filler tube is made from Nylon (probably 6/6). You really don't need anything between the ABS and the Nylon, and if you do put something there, it will only create problems.

Plus, any lube you do use will just leach into the tobacco.
