Best place to pick up hints and tips
Here's a hint that will really brighten someone's day. Biscuits for bowser!
Is the internal o ring of the vapor chamber of the TI similar with the SS? Anyone can validate this?
Someone posted that it's 8mm X 1 MM for SS I might get it custom made. The spare bag did not have one and the tank is rendered useless until I mange to slot one inside.

This one Q. It's inside the bottom part of the vapor chamber. On the pic you can see its been removed. It functions to hold the build deck. Without it, the deck slides right out.
edit: It doesn't look like its 8mmx1mm. I tried with a ruler app and my broken O Ring measures to about 1.4mmX1mm. I'm guessing the correct measurement should be 1.3mmx1mm since my broken one won't fit. What material is the o ring for the gem?
The link below has the measurements but I think it only applies for SS.

Update: I went to an O-Ring shop and asked for the exact same size as the broken Oring. They sold me a bunch that is the exact size as the one inside the vapor chamber. It took me a while but I have successfully installed it into the GEM. Popping in and popping out the deck feels somewhat different, it doesn't have the loud pop when I push in the deck anymore and when I push it in, it goes in smoothly. Its snug but its slightly easier to remove the deck compared to the original. I will rebuild, wick up and test for leaking. will report back.
Update 2: So far so good no leaking. Its alive again

Can anyone tell me where and when it might be possible to get one of these?
Thanks

Hi, good to see that you've got all sorted out. Btw, the chamber measurements between the SS and the Ti are exactly the same. So, the O-rings between the two chambers should also be of the same size.This one Q. It's inside the bottom part of the vapor chamber. On the pic you can see its been removed.

Thanks buddy!
It'll be available in a week or two at MarkBugs' webstore, as well as with their retailers.
Thanks qorax, it's MarkBugs or the Square Rs. Haven't decided as yet. I'm MTL and Flavor kind of Vaper, and your review suggested to me that it was more designed for the Sub Ohm group more so. The Square Rs seems to be mostly MTL crew/Flavor. Both make for easy builds but like the idea of the "W" Deck the Square offers. This should be my last RTA. Just want that Flavor comparable to my Tilemahos v2 Plus, KFM v3, KF v4.
In that order they are all great Flavor.It's funny after experiencing a GOOD RTA; you can't go back to a Aspire or Kanger Tank
And they sure served their purpose; But
Hi, I have the Sq-R but never liked it. Which is why you'll never find me talking about it. It vapes Ok, but not worth the money, nor it's size (including the Sq-RS) per my very personal opinion. Imo, there are many good RTAs out there which out perform the Sq-R in all fronts. Again, these are my opinion - based on my liking - and my type of vaping.Thanks qorax, it's MarkBugs or the Square Rs. Haven't decided as yet.

By those looks I would have to say that you had a good day
I have had my ss gem for maybe 10 months and do find it, for flavor and vapor, to be probably the best rta I have ever owned. I also own a bunch of erlks and find them to be awesome as well. There is one thing with the gem that I cannot put my finger on though, and it just may be the nature of the tank but I find it to be alot cooler of a vape compared to the erlk or erlp. I figured with the gem's smaller deck this wouldn't be the case. Or maybe it's that the erlk intensifies the nic or something, all I know is that if I take 3 or 4 vapes from the erlk, I feel more satisfied then taking the same on the gem... I do like a warm vape and intense TH and maybe that's it. Just curious to see if any of you also have the erlk/erlp and think the same.

What would you suggest for MTL & Flavor? Maybe I should of ask that at first huh?
I have the KFv4,KFMv3, Tilemahos v2 + and I'd like just one more Flavor RTA. ?
