There's an oring under the coil? I don't ever remember seeing that.

I've never tried the freezer, but I have tried many other methods and can't get that 510 piece out. The way I figured it, it still works though wobbly. Messing up the threads, and it no work no more.
So I gave up. Like I said, it's 1 of 3...and I just got the EK 4ml glass one with outer afc, nicer build quality but no more air flow which is what I wanted.
(pic from qorax erl thread)
It's the same as the ones for the fill ports in the top plate - 3x1 mm
Dear Lord. I must have looked at this picture a dozen times, including last night, and never saw that...
Thanks, Capt'n!
Thanks, i've placed an order. Will let you all know if it is legit.
There is one at the bottom of de positive portion of the build deck, like in the photo. But I also inserted an extra ring in the actual 510 connector.
Um... I a bit confused here. I just unscrewed the 510 pin (took it out) and then took out the silicone insulator/plug where the pin was. We're talking about the bottom of the atty--I haven't taken the building deck apart at all. Not sure where this extra o-ring would go. I thought Richu suggested inserting an o-ring right there, before putting the plug and the pin back in. Sorry I'm so dense.
No need, you understood me perfectly
Is this a clone converted to nano? The (complete) mini FT used to sell had a different insulator.
There's an o-ring there on your Erlk???No o-ring here--I took my deck apart. What size is that o-ring? Can you tell? 3 mm? 4 mm? And my silicone plug is not very snug at all and I can easily unscrew it. Weird.
Yes, there should be a 3x1 o-ring.
I don't know the prinz personally, but I know it's different form the konigin. Maybe this is one of those differences.
Again, there needs to be.
[/edit]
Ohh, before I forget, I've found the 3x1 rings (among others) the erl uses on ebay.
PM me for the link, don't know if it's allowed here.
I'm a little lost. The oring under the coil, does that go like inside? Like around the air tube? Has anyone posted pictures showing its placement beside that oring guide? I've taken my other 2 apart several times and there is a insulator but no oring. And when built with the right amount of cotton no leaking, but if I'm missing something I need to know.
Look at capthook's picture again:
First, take you deck apart. Once you remove the positive block, do you see a tiny groove around the center air hole (in the middle of the building deck)? That's where this o-ring should sit. The o-ring sits just under the plastic insulator, on the pin. When you reinstall the block, the ring should be positioned inside that groove, above the building deck.
Now Richu added another o-ring, on the same pin, but it's inserted from the bottom, directly into the 510 post... So you have now two o-rings, above and below the air hole on the building deck, on the same pin.
Was that helpful at all?
Thanks--I tried to add one of those spare o-rings that came with my nano kit and it just disintegrated on its journey up the post... Ripped in half. I'm going to have to order some better o-rings for my atties and I found a great site--you can buy any size o-rings in small quantities:

BTW--I'm sure it's OK to post a link to an eBay seller; people do it the time.
Thanks for your help, again!

Ahh, okay. Your link doesn't work, points to a pic posted earlier in this thread.

What do you think about this site?
And TY
Yes. The full nano unit was discontinued while I sat and waited - ha!
So I got the chimney/poly tank combo before it was also discontinued.
Sounds like that insulator is a bugger.
I actually prefer the full Erl - I don't use the nano setup much.
I love the warm, full, rich, saturated vape of the Erl, the nano is a bit too warm in comparison.
And the small juice capacity is a bit of a hassle.
The full Erl is plenty small and light - especially compared to my K4!
FYI - Below are the properties for Silicone & Buna-N 70 O-Rings (from the O-Ring Store site)
Well bonanza is a bust on the nano chimneys. My order has been refunded.
Also queried a seller on alibaba (oriental ebay), no go.
All production for the erl clones (full and nano) has been discontinued.

FYI - I got a refund for the two chimneys I ordered. The order for the chimney & tank kit seems to still be in play. Keep ya posted.
Pretty disappointing for those who want a nano kit
Ain't it the truth... I wish the Erlk had caught on bigger. I think the finicky wicking garnered it a bad rep. My 1:1 Erlk is clearly my favorite atomizer. Many of the big reviewers never experienced its potential because they didn't live with it long enough to perfect the build. In Rip's review, he stated he would post a build for the Erlk that never materialized. The only things worth critiquing are perhaps the awkward AFC location and shortish 510.
Of course, if we really like the Erlk, the authentic units and parts are still available, along with the Erlprinz. While on the pricy side, we simply have to decide if we like the Erlk enough to pay the authentic prices. Some may never like a device that much...
