Mako O-ring size?

What is the size of the o-ring that can fit the Mako?

 

Some have recommended to unscrew either the atomizer or the adapter slightly so it would not accidentally fire the atty when fitting the atomizer cap. In my experience, the atomizer wiggles when doing this.

I have found a better alternative, which is to unscrew the atomizer endcap slightly. You will see a tiny gap, maybe a half-millimeter, between the o-ring and the sleeve. This would suffice for now until I find a thicker o-ring.

 

Hi Tim, Here's a quick one. Its 2mm between the atomizer cap and the sleeve and 1.5mm between the bottom cap and sleeve. The gap is about 1mm when pressing the bottom cap to fire up the atty. I have tested this using 901 atomizer, mako maksi and with the supplied 5v battery. So I would need 2mm and 1.5mm o-rings with this setup.

Will send a few more later with other combinations such as the minno and 510 atty.

 

Thats correct!

 

Liberty Flights 901 Atty (SLB)
Mako Maksi / supplied 5v battery

2.0mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
1.0mm - gap when button is depressed


Liberty Flights 901 Atty (SLB)
Mako Minno / supplied 3.7v battery

2.0mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
1.0mm - gap when button is depressed


TECC Titan 510 Atty
Mako Maksi / supplied 5v battery

2.0mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
1.0mm - gap when button is depressed


Another TECC Titan 510 Atty*
Mako Maksi / supplied 5v battery

1.5mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
1.25mm (approx.) - gap when button is depressed


TECC Titan 510 Atty
Mako Minno / supplied 3.7v battery

2.0mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
1.0mm - gap when button is depressed


Another TECC Titan 510 Atty**
Mako Minno / supplied 3.7v battery

1.5mm - between atomizer cap and sleeve
1.5mm - between button cap and sleeve
between 1.25mm and 1.5mm - gap when button is depressed


* seems fine with a pair of 1.5mm o-rings but has a very short throw on the button. it will not fire up the atty when locked.
** can use a pair of 1.5mm o-rings but has a very short throw and can still fire up the atty even when its locked.


As you can see, my 2nd test (different combinations) yields almost the same results with my first one (901/maksi/5v), with the exception of 2 510 attys. My 2 510 attys were from the same supplier (TECC) but has different outcome. Please note that I used freshly charged batteries on this test and attys fitted were tight but not too tight.

 

Do you think one of those o-rings will fit the Mako?

i just wasted my money on the above o-ring kit. only 1 can fit in the mako but its the same 1.5mm and not the 2 or 2.5mm im looking for. the i/d is a bit smaller too.

 

Hey Tim! I never expected some freebies to come with my items. You still remember my name/account. Its what I needed. Thanks a million!

Now that is excellent customer service!
