I have this posted on my website and I thought maybe you guys could use it as well.
I've been really, really frustrated lately about Orings and how people using Genesis style devices can't understand if you don't use the correct oring with a glass tube it's not going to fit correctly.
It's not always the tube! I can make 10,000 glass tubes that do fit correctly but if your not using the correct size oring or swollen, or damaged oring those 10,000 tubes will not fit! BUY ORINGS!

Making glass tubes for the past 1-1/2 yrs I believe having a stock pile of different size O-rings is one of the most important items you can invest in while vaping. Whether you own a genesis style or a cartomzier tank you should have a variety of O-rings.
In no way am I an expert in O-rings but I do fit, use, buy, and give away plenty of them. Below I have listed different sizes
of O-rings I use most often. I am not implying you should only use this type of material for your O-rings or these sizes.
This is a guide just to help you out a tiny bit when looking for your own O-rings. I've listed them by
common to less common. Please remember no rules apply here, just a guide!
TIP: If you have an tube that is to lose with a O-ring try using some dental floss under it. Works great!
