Someone a long time ago told me to use waxed dental floss. It really does work in a pinch.
The trick is to get it tight, which can be hard to do, but even if its a bit loose, it does keep the dt tight.
Sometimes you get an atty or dt that just does not want to cooperate. I have been vaping and buying stuff for a while, so I have a collection of spare orings. Just last night I was pulling out all my baggies and orings and I could not find one that worked well. I went and grabbed some floss and "voila"

I answered in your other thread about a tip too big...
Plumber's thread tape might work. It's inert--used to prevent leaks in threaded, pressurized water supply systems. It's heat resistant, too (used often on hot water feed lines). If you don't have any, or don't know someone who does, you're better off finding a vape shop and getting a 510 drip tip.

I just tried out the plumbers tape, IT WORKS, tons easier than trying to tie floss on tight with one hand !!!!!
I really DID spend hours last night going through baggies of orings.....
Thanks Coastal Cowboy!!!!

I know. I must have about 63,691 rolls of that ish around here, because I always end up buying a new roll whenever I can't find one of'em.Thats a brilliant suggestion, I KNOW I have plummers tape, now to find itThanks
Plumbers tape is magic stuff for us. It also works to seal a tank when you bought a cloned replacement tank glass from FastTech and it doesnt fit...

I like you, you think abstract.
We will just call you the "Vape Macgyver"
I was beaten to it, there's a 510 adapter in the box.
Plumbers tape....I know I have some of that somewhere...

its a tricky fit/method but.... I use a couple of wraps of teflon tape and then re-install the o-ring, the teflon tape fills the gap a tad and makes the o-ring stick out further and creates a tighter fit... the teflon tape handles the heat well and is non toxic ( hey, they put it in the pans )
)
Unfortunately for those of us who own the little Baby Beast instead of the Big one, the adapter thingie is not included.
Op said she had the big baby (same as mine) which does include the 510 adapter though.Unfortunately for those of us who own the little Baby Beast instead of the Big one, the adapter thingie is not included.
Now i'm confused..... Is it a big baby or the smaller one...... If i go by the picture on the thread you mentionned it's most likely a baby beast,the big baby has a wide bore not 510.
you're most likely right,unless OP has both or something....
Plumbers tape is great. Before I upgraded my gear always kept a roll handy. Also works great for worn threads.
