Kanger Sub Mini replacement o rings

[DerekL]

I have 4 Kanger SubMini tanks in my aresenal of vaping equipment. Well today when switching loads of laundry my mod fell out of my pocket and well the Pyrex on my Kanger SubMini cracked. When I tried getting the broken Pyrex off I cut the thin o ring closer to the bottom of my tank. I tried the replacement o ring from every box I had and they where all too big and I couldn't get the Pyrex back over the replacement o ring. These are the extra o rings that came in the bottom of the box. Just wondering it there is a trick to get them to shrink? Or could it be just a bad batch of o rings? I am going to order replacement one from Kanger this week.

Try putting a little juice on the o-ring and then twist the glass back and forth (i.e. right/left) like you were trying to thread the glass over the o-ring.

I tried that Susan but it still wanted to push the o ring up out of the slot. I will try again. If you place the original o ring up to the replacement one it's clearly a lot bigger it's also thinker. Is this normal? Maybe I just didn't put forth enough effort? I didn't want to force it and break another Pyrex tube.

Lube the ring with some juice, and run the glass under hot tap water untill it's warm/hot. Theyre a tight fit to retain the glass tube while dissasembling.

If all else Fails. You can try putting your Tank Parts with the O-Rings on them in the Freezer for a Couple of Minutes.

This will cause the O-Ring to get Stiffer. Ala the Challenger Solid Rocket Booster.

You probably have the wrong ring out. There should be three. One is very thick and has some notches on one side - that goes closest to the drip tip and the glass fits over it. One is very thin and is about the same size as the tank - it installs on the coil base and the tank fits against it when the tank parts are screwed together. The third one has a smaller diameter than the other two and that is the one you need to put on the bottom of the metal "cage". It should actually be slightly smaller than the metal ring it goes on (so it fits snugly).
