Is this what you're looking for? Resistance Coil Insulator 10 Pack (CE Type Atty's, eg. Protank, Evod,T - Lightning Vapes
If you have any old dead CE4 clearomizers you could also remove them for this purpose.
Believe it or not, there is a Canon printer part which is the same.
You can get them on ebay. 4 cents.
Trouble is, I have no link for you.

Yes ! That's what I'm looking for. But $0,60 a piece......
I understand but it's still less than half the cost of a new coil. I've used them and they are the exact same size as the OEM. (And I think a little better quality.)
According to Sean (at Lightning Vapes) he will be offering silicon insulators in the near future. The good thing about silicon is that it has a much higher temp rating and will last much longer than the rubber. The bad thing about silicon (from what I've read) is that it is much softer and may cause air flow restriction problems if the clearo is screwed down too tight. I'm going to order a 10 pack when they're available just to try them.
I found these, but they're about 33 cents each, appear to be silicone -

Can definitely understand the desire to obtain more of those insulators. Generally, I get old heads from friends who aren't into rebuilding them. I've been able to keep my stash "fresh" with this method. Problem is, quite a few of 'em are moving on to RBAs, so the trickle of spare parts is dwindling fast. May have to break down and buy new heads. Some of the "chimneys" are getting quite loose as well. (Yeah, I've been rebuilding some of them for a while.)
kidneypuncher.com has 10 packs for about $2. i ordered a few of them the other day.
If you take a pair of needle nose pliers and gently squeeze the place on the head where the chimney goes, you can tighten them up a little. Not too hard, or they break off, learn from my mistakes.
I'm glad I came across this thread. I just burnt out one of these trying to make a microcoil for my protank and was wondering the same thing.

The kidney puncher ones don't work very well, IMO. They are a little too big for the protank (they are meant for AGA). You can make them work, sorta, but they are a tight squeeze. The lightening vapes ones fit the protank much better.
