O-rings

[Mordenkainen]

Hi guys. Anyone tried replacing o-rings in your atomizer?
I want to replace some o-rings in my Taifun GT for a slightly thicker ones coz the stock ones are not gripping well. Anyone knows where I can purchase some? But I'm not sure how to measure and read size charts that's available online.

I just got to those neighbourhood hardware stores and try a few on. Bring your extra O ring and use it as comparison just get one slightly thicker than your usual one. If it doesn't fit get another one. It's so cheap anyway.

In the Taifun GT thread they were just discussing that very subject the other day. they had a breakdown with pictures and oring sizes, sorry i would send or put alink inthis reply, but I am not that computer savy. I do know they are metric, and orings USA is where I ordered mine from.

Not all though. I've tried some hardware stores that don't carry o-rings. They showed me rubber washers instead [emoji29].

A good oring supplier will have a cone shaped thingy that measures the ID of the oring and a series of slots that measure the diameter of the ring. A hydraulic repair/supply place should have those or a good industrial supplier.

No problem, glad I remembered. Been following that thread for about a year now (lurker) great info. All I use now are Taifuns so it is very helpful.My hardware stores only sell standard orings not much in metric, so the orings USA was a good resource.
