Whoops ! Broke it.

Hello, and thanks for reading the blog.

Broke my Crown IV Checkmate tank glass last night, dropped the mod onto a metal bar.
Atomizer is fine, but broke a small piece out of the bubble glass.
Mine came installed with the bubble glass. Apparently they don't lube up the o-ring when they install the glass, cuz I never was able to exchange the bubble for the straight.


So ,since the Crown IV comes with a replacement glass, straight one, i proceeded to exchange it. Wasn't easy getting that old glass off.
Did it, but encountered some leaking ! What's this, I thought ? This tank has NEVER leaked on me, even on its side.

In the morning, I saw at my work station, a broken lonely O-ring sitting there, that I hadn't noticed in my dim night lighting.
Ah ! So, went to the replacement O-ring pack that comes with the Crown IV, and replaced the upper glass O-ring, being sure to wet it with e-liquid 1st.

Wonderful ! She's dry again !
Now, I need another O-ring pack, and more glass !

@Uwell_Elle gave me this photo to help me locate the O-ring placement:

However. in the O-ring pack, I noticed a large felt-like washer.
Not sure where this goes.....

Now, I'm back in action !

Yes I too wondered what the felt-like washer was for. I kept it but for the life of me can't figure out exactly what I would need it for?
 
I realize what it's for now, @CorollaGirl1980 , and everybody :

It's the piece that fits inside the top cap,that makes the seal. The black part in there. Heh.
Can be pretty handy if this one gets lost or ruined somehow.

So, I've been trying to buy a new set of O-rings from AliExpress, but I've had tons of problems.
My purchase was refused by PayPal twice, and it's not even clear why.

Anyway, there u go !
 
Yay! Good to know! Thank you..good luck with PayPal..be careful I got hacked by a fake Microsoft last night..long story short don't save your payment info..i no it's convenient but not having my cards saved in my phone is the thing that kept me safe..i no this won't help your PayPal issue but just a tip.
 
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I ended up paying with a credit card and it went thru.
Not sure what the issue was, PayPal just refused to deal with it.
Got my O-rings just yesterday ! Stoked.
