Drip Tip Rings

[Frenchfry1942]

I use 510/901 style drip tips and am noticing that the little rubber gaskets are getting out of sorts. I have a feeling that I can get them at home Depot or Lowes, but I don't know the size. Anyone know or have dealt with this situation?

Appreciate some guidance,

Just figured I would bring this forward from an old post I found on here. I'm assuming they're the same size still, so hopefully this will help.

Hi All,

Is your 510 drip tip O-ring getting swollen? Is it had to put in your carto or atty? Well for .10 to .65 cents you can refurbish that drip tip. There are 3 measurements that define this o-ring, 1) Inside diameter (ID), 2) Outside diameter (OD), and Cross section, sometimes called width (CS). The one that works with most 510 drip tips is metric, not SAE. It is 1.5mm CS x 6mm ID x 9mm OD. It can be found many places online. I got mine at my local Ace hardware store. They had a drawer with tons of sizes. Just take in or web search for 1.5mm CS x 6mm ID x 9mm OD.

I hope this helps someone. It sure helped me with my "New Member posts"

Searched...I got lost in the many types of materials. If I talk to an Ace Hardware person, would they understand?

I'd be in the store fitting them on to test it out.

Well, if you ask them for some rubber o-rings and give them the listed dimensions or those below for the different measurement standard, they should:

SAE Dimensions
9/32" ID x 11/32" OD x 1/32" wall

I feel like if you mention that it is for an e-cigarette, they will most likely get very confused. Another thing to note is that several members on here have confirmed getting replacement o-rings from Lowes and Home Depot - but none from Ace Hardware. Try looking in the plumbing department. Hopefully you find what you're looking for!

Thanks all. I will start visiting the hardware stores.
