Just curious if there is a way to get / make replacement silicone cup seals and/or silicone washer seals for the CE2s. I have some SS CE2s that I managed to rip the cup seals on and I've managed to 'misplace' a few of the washer seals on others. Yeah, yeah I know, they're disposable, toss them. But other than missing seals, they work fine. As long as the cup seal is intact, I've not had any great leaking problems with my CE2s <<knock on wood>>.

The ring down by the threads go bad on me quick. Then there is the leaking problem after I remove and replace the syringe I modded a few times---just doesn't fit as tight as it did at first. I use bakers clay (got it at Hobby Lobby) and fill the gap left by the missing ring and also press it on the ridged edge. Then, after putting the syringe tub back on) remove the excess. There's a couple little holes near there, make sure you don't get anything in them, or the threads.

Then get a bowl and put enough water in it so that when you put the Clearo in it, the threaded end and what you just worked on, is immersed. I put the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute 11 seconds (or until it's HOT). Then put the Clearos in it, cover to retain the heat, and leave for a good ten/fifteen minutes. Remove and let cool. Blow through the threaded part to remove excess water and load.
So far I have had no leaks and it also helps keep the syringe tube in place. :)

The black tip that comes on the plunger from the syringe that makes the modded tube, can be modded to replace the silicone piece. This job takes patience though.....I'd be more inclined to just buy them.
But if you want to give it a go, you'll need a BD 3ml syringe.
