Thanks to some VERY helpful guys at a local restaurant supply, I found a pretty rad product that I'd bet will come in handy to all you modders.
It's called 732 Multi-Purpose RTV Sealant, made by Dow Corning. This is the stuff that you see 'round your glass cooktop and lots of other places (some of you mechanics might already be familiar with it too). The color depends on the temp range you need - ie; white is for continuous temps up to 350 degrees, red is higher, etc. IT IS "FOOD GRADE" for all you safety nuts.
Now here's the neato pin-o part about it...you can use it like a caulk, or you can tool it a little before it "sets up". I've been playing with making tiny o-rings & such...although since you can use it like caulk, there's really not much reason to "make" gaskets. Cured product is flexible (but not excessively) and can withstand contact with all sort of oily liquid (ie; e-juice).
My issue was, I couldn't find one single gasket/washer for tanks that I couldn't taste rubber in - except silicone, and finding soft silicone o-rings and gaskets isn't easy. Even plumbing stuff (and I work for a building company, so I've got all sorts of suppliers for unique situations). Enter this stuff.
Here's a pic...I suppose you could buy it online...or you could truck on down to whoever is your local restaurant equipment supply or even appliance repair shop, and get a tube. My 90 mL (3 fl oz) tube cost me $6.
Oh...and search for "plastic supply" in your local phonebook...they usually have all sorts of cool tubing for various applications, in all sizes.
