Actually If you are going to try to glue them in. I would use RTV Silicone. It is heat, gas, oil, etc resistant.

I have used RTV Silicone when fixing engines, and carburetors. I would just coat the bottom of the O ring in RTV silicone, and then lightly set it where it is supposed to go. Take whatever screws over the O ring and lightly hand tighten it, Very lightly. Then take it apart and let it dry. This will allow the silicone to act as a cushion and keep the O ring up. So that when you screw the parts down it will allow the rubber to make a tighter seal.

My opinion on the included O rings is that they are very thin. I think all of them would benefit from being a little thicker.
I wouldn't want to use anything that can be used for auto repair... The smell will never go away. I also wouldn't want my liquids to have contact with it also. The fish tank silicon dries odorless and tasteless.

Lol, either way I wouldn't think silicone would be safe to vape.

I've used it for years on tanks without any issues. If it's safe for fish, it's safe for my vaping needs.

Lol i dont think the fish are heating it up and vaping it. Its fine cold but when it heats up i would be worried that it might start to release chemicals that are not good.

I wouldn't worry about it. It will never get that hot where the liquids sit.

I think I need to try rayon some of my juices gunk the heck out of my cotton.T his tank in particular seems to get dirty fast.
I am still rocking the silica. Sometimes this tank has magical hidden leaks I can't find. A couple days ago I was driving and I would lay the mod down on a foam padded case, and when I would pick it back up, that whole side of the glass had juice on it. Never did find the issue, It went away before I could fix it.

Tank ideas
Can some of you fine people help this guy out?
Sorry I can't help either. I am not sure what he means by getting the right tank for the right battery. (Maybe the right threaded tank for the right mod). The only thing the tank does is give you a place to put/build a coil and hold juice. I've only really owned 2 tanks and mods so I have very limited tank knowledge.

I'm still loving the strings in mine too. Had a problem with some build up on SS coils with it. Trying kanthal to see how it works.

I used rayon for a bit, and didn't notice any wicking or flavor differences between it and kgd. The only difference was no break in time with rayon which was a plus.

Flavors so subjective, but I've found the rayon lasting longer before I need to rewick.

Rayon will allow you to vape the wick bone dry, KGD and other cotton always have some remnant of juice leftover. Rayon survives a dry hit and moves juice much better than cotton does.

If you like creamy juice:
IPV6X 04.jpg

You really need to try this setup:
1. E-Juice: Creamy Suckerz VeryBerry Flan
2. Tank: Augvape Merlin RTA
3. Coil: 5mm SS Notch Coil
4. Mod: IPV 6X
5. TC: 435F/40J

Chain-vape it, man ... I really has the impulse that I need to share this enjoyment with everybody, otherwise I felt sinful.

I have made up my mind, my next mod will be a YiHi mod, it has to support SS316L natively (without me trying the TCR).

Luckily for me, I know how to vape and don't get burnt hits or bone dry wicks. Lol!

A wise man once said:
There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses' ...... Unless it leaks on your mod.

Digging the 6x? I am thinking of grabbing one. Is it set for ss430?
