Is there a chart or information on grub screws used in rdas,rtas, ect,I got some a long time ago but did not save the packet they arrived in so don't actually know the sizes, they was for my reload rta and I do remember it took me ages trying to find the size and the shape

I just ordered these. Figure the most common were included in the kit.
$8.27 Replacement Phillips + Hexagonal Screw for DIY E-Cigarettes (200 Pieces) 200-pack - stainless steel at FastTech - Free Shipping
Looks good, I'm sure mine I ordered were m2 something or other, I think the manufacturer of the tanks should include the size of whatever screws the tanks take, fair enough most give 1 or 2 replacements but its not good enough, these little screws are subject to extreme heat and constant unscrewing ect
I don't know if you can check out as a guest but e-packet is available to the UK. I'm wondering if you make an account if the prices would show in your currency?
Right under the "Add to Cart" button, there's an option to change display currency - at least when you're signed in. Fasttech charges in US dollars so there's often a small difference in how it's converted by whoever handles your payment. Some places also charge a conversion fee, but that's up to your bank or CC, not Fasttech.
They've always offered me 5 - 15 shipping options. The free version can take months. E-Packet tends to be much faster, and it's usually just a nominal fee - $1.00 to $2.50 to Canada.
One other tip is to keep an eye on the availability of whatever you're ordering. I've found that "In stock" and "Ships within 24 hours" are fine, but anything longer is no more than a wild guess.

M2.5x3 and M2.5x4 are the most common sizes I see in atties. The reload rta uses M2.5x3 as the original screw size.
I have a burning hatred for grub screws, they are always stripping on me. That kit looks the bees Letitia, thank you.
I didn't need them either and haven't used up my spares bags yet. Just figured it's better to have them before the "need".
@Letitia I'm going to order the same box you ordered because some of my rdas have Phillips flat head screws, I've never needed them but they will be there in case, it's the hexagonal grubs that completely send me mad, always rounding off, I've got a tank with stainless steel grubs in and never had any problems, thanks everyone for the help, time to sign up with fasttech me thinks
The reload actually uses m2.5 x 4 because I got a few m2.5 x 3 and they are too small, but thanks everyone, m2.5 x3 and x4 are the most common sizes for atties and thanks to this thread I have ordered 50 of each.
And after doing some research m3 x3 and x4 are pretty common as well .

Odd, all 3 of my reload rtas use M2.5x3 from the factory (measured from two clones and an authentic) and I've not had any issues.
Either way, glad you got it sorted out.
You probably already know this, and I really don't mean to be pedantic. But I hear a lot of people on the forum calling all the screws used on RTA/RDA's, etc. as grub screws. The grub screws are set screws- the ones that don't have a head on them, like the ones used in Kayfuns to set the airflow. I'm guessing they're called grub screws because of their similarity to a headless grub.
Sorry, not meaning to insult anyone - just throwing it out there in case it helps anyone else that may be looking for screws, in case it helps them search.
Its sorted now for the time being, as I said ,I found 2 m2.5 x 4mm and replaced the most badly damaged, I will replace all 4 when the stainless steel set screws arrive
