Vaseline is too thin and being petroleum jelly, it can destroy contact adhesives. You want a grease that resembles axle grease as that has more staying power compared to thin greases.
And with high quality cork greases being thick, you don't have to trowel it on all in a thick layer all in one go so it ends up oozing out the joint and contaminating nearby key corks as is often the case - just use a small amount and apply it thinly, evenly and regularly on tenon corks (and sax crook corks).
