O-ring question, which is which?

[anavidfan]

I was cleaning my Ody and dropped the small o-ring at the end of the rebuildable part, the one that goes on end of unit near 510 post. I pulled one out of the ones that came with it when I got it. I think I might have used the wrond size. SInce then Ive been have a minor seepage of juice and I notice I get slight hard draw and less vapour after a while. I think it might be because of wrong o-ring. If you could help me identify which one is the correct one Id appreciate it. The one on my rebuildable part is another one that looks like the smaller one shown. It might be another 0-ring for some other part.

Avid I believe the one you need is a 3 x 2 o-ring here shown as #15

Thank you CaptSteve , I saw that PDF and I figured it was the one labeled A. I took it apart and replaced the one I thought was the one and used the one labeled A. I saw from the diagram that it was a bit larger so I took a chance and so far so good.

One other question. I have noticed that sometimes I get a burning taste quickly after setting up a new wick and coil. I see that the burning is happening where the wires are twisted together. So Ive tried leaving the legs longer so that the twisted parts are not touching the wick. I make sure they are down in the grooves. Is this common, I see a lot of how to videos and can never really tell where the twisted part is supposed to be. I was originally putting the twisted parts down the grooves, but I had some one actually show me in person and noticed they wound the wires around the wick and had the twisted parts up against the ceramic and touching the wick so I started doing that but thats when I started noticing that the coils were getting sooty and gunked up and many times burned to the point that the wick came apart where it was burned. If you have any advise please let me know.

Personally I don't pay too much attention to where the end twisted parts are as long as they are not sticking out. I've had them both on the sides and on the wick on shorter low res coils. What matters is that when you first make your wick and coil is that you prime it well with e-liquid before you fire it. I would recommend you don't leave them down the channels too far. Also make sure your twisted wires are twisted tight and that should avoid the problem you're having

I twist my wires using a hemostat which makes nice and tight twists



and above all use glasses so you can see what the heck you're doing

Thank you soooo much CaptainSteve, I will pay attention to the twisting and make sure they a tighter. Maybe Ive been in a hurry or "Im gettin blisters on me fingers" from all the twisting. Funny one of my favourite juices is Twisted toasted Turkish. I guess Im pretty twisted.

BTW love your dawgie.
