Is anyone using TIM on their barrel when assembling the Hot end. Mainly to promote thermal transfer between the block and the barrel. would this just throw things off?

i have back when i was using the v3b. didnt do it really for thermal transfer. i saw no difference there but i did it so i could break down the hot end easily. kept the barrel from freezing to the alum block.
