510 Atty O-ring For Grand

[bladebarrier]

For the life of me, I can't remember where the link is for the O-ring size used on 510 atty's, with the Reo Grand. I must have tossed mine out by accident, but always liked having it on there to adjust the draw, and for when I want to be absolutely sure of no leakage.

Does someone remember the thread, or have a link?

I'm looking for the one you slide down the outside of the atty to semi-seal the atty to the cup opening.

Thanks!

I believe it's in the "Sticky: REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas" thread. #78 o-ring maybe. It's around the page 15 or so.

Thanks a bunch! That's exactly what I was looking for.

If you are talking about the ones that go on the outside of the atty to fill the catch cup they are #83 . If you buy a pack at Home Depot count them first, my 10 pack only had 6. Other REO owners perhaps snagging a few?

Hi Rob!

Does this look right? Closest I can find in the area is .0625 dia.

Thanks,

I personally swear by these things over o rings http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/227482-how-i-fight-keep-clean-catch-cup.html I think they go in where the waterline attaches to the kamode.



Sent from my Apple II. What?! I keeps it old school!

These fit a lot different than what I was expecting, but in a good way.

The last O-ring I used, sort of fit around the atty, and got stuffed partially into the cup, thus creating a sort of pool of juice underneath (if a leak occurred).

With these, I've got it wrapped around the actual threaded part of the atty, and it compresses down as it gets screwed in.

At first I thought it had to be the wrong part, and it would cut off all air flow, but it doesn't do that at all, and I can't really explain why.

Anyways, these are great, and much less fuss compared to the other method I had used. I'm guessing atty's with a short thread length might have a hard time making a connection, but no issues on the 357 at all. No mess, perfect draw, no fiddling.

Brilliant!

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's not working for me any more. I must be missing something.

Just go to lowes or home depot and get one of the things i mentioned. My buddy is also enjoying them, plenty of space to grab on to it to slide it and much harder to lose. Really anywhere that sells plumbing supply should have them

I was eyeballing that. Do you know what exactly it's called?

rubber beveled washer. they have all kinds of sizes. they are best because they are flat on the bottom

Pick up an o-ring assortment, and use the size that will slide down the outside of your carto/atty. Don't put it on the threads. Rob might have been thinking of the o-ring size that is used in the bottle cap.

 

[SammyT]

the correct size is 2 cm OD and 1 cm ID

 

[bladebarrier]

Got it. Thanks much! That looks like a very pocket friendly solution.

Well, looky what I found in my garage. It's not quite perfect in size, but pretty darn close.
