Lube the threads with your favorite chapstick.
Metal to metal threads, like copper or aluminum, tend to wear out, because these metals are "soft". My solution to this issue, had always been to apply your favorite chapstick to the threads, which eliminates the friction between the threads. I hope this helps someone.
