O-rings anyvape davide mini

[Tabber]

My girlfriend recently purchased a Mini Anyvape Davide from Discountvapers.com...Accidentally she lost an O-Ring down the drain! I have looked everywhere for the parts and so far no such luck! She really likes the tank so I went to Lowe's and found something to work for now.These part's need to be available for customers to purchase when part's are lost or when you need to rebuild tank.If anyone knows (WHERE) to find them that would be awesome if you could share that info. with all of us Vapeheads! Thanks!

I was bummed when I lost an oring for connection post. After looking everywhere with no luck it came to me. I took the rubber cap type seal that goes on post of coil. Unscrewed center post. It seal on with cup part facing towards treads, as opposed to cup facing into e-juice. This works perfect! When I put back together seal slide over end piece and sealed perfect! So far so good!!! It also looks like it was meant to be this way, fits perfect! Also seal had some juice on it so slide together nice, if dry may want to slide down post and not seal. I'm very happy so far!!!

I hope that makes sense. I'm unsure how to post a pic. If post was sideways would look like this with coil "cup" seals on it }------{ after putting end caps on fits perfect! Only used for a couple hours but I'm very happy it's working again!!!

I lost the o-ring to the top part of my tank while cleaning. It now leaks and gurgles! I put electrical tape around the tank to keep the seal, but this is very unsightly!
Was this the 0-ring your girlfriend lost? If so, what was the part number @ Lowe's?
Thanks in advance,

Check Harbor Freight for their "225 Piece Metric Nitrile O-Ring Assortment". For $3.99, there's bound to be a replacement that fits.

Thank you! There's a Harbor Freight not more than a few miles from me. I'll pick up a pack, if they're in stock.

Sun Vapers sells o rings for ProTanks--I think they may be compatible with Davide; aren't the coils interchangeable?

Just a hint for future cleanings....Clean your parts in a bowl of hot water and lay them out on a clean towel. Reassemble the unit BEFORE you dump the water. That way if your missing one of those tiny little o-rings you can stop and make sure it isn't still in the water.

What the OP is refering to is the o-ring seals on the center shaft that goes through the middle of the tank. Go ahead, ask me how I know.

The cup the Tabber is refering to is the chimney seal on the Kanger BCC coils.


This is not a bad idea as long as the cup doesn't block the juice from getting to the working coil of the tank. But if you have a stedy hand you might be able to trim the cup a bit to make it work.

It's only crazy until it works. Nice McGiverisum Tabber.

Well, I got the o-rings from harbor freight. I didn't try them on the mini divide tank because I modified my electrical tape fix, and it's working very well!

The o-rings are pretty thick. I might be able to use a few in the future. I tried one of the small ones on a loose fitting drip tip, but it was too thick to connect to the atty.

Upon inspection of the bottom of the mini, it's more of a gasket than an o-ring. I'll check the local hardware store for something similar. It's approx 1\2 inch across, and a few centimeters thick.

A chimney seal? An o-ring? A gasket? A thingy?

OK, we have a problem with nomenclature, clearly.

Anyway. I read somewhere that some enterprising soul grabbed an old silicone cartomizer cap (AKA a condom or a thingy) and trimmed it to desired height and that worked--with some adjusting. I haven't tried it myself--just reporting!

My problem wasn't a missing o-ring, but I lost the gasket at the very top where the tank sits inside the metal that holds the drip tip. When I read the handy tip you posted, I had a light-bulb moment...

I took a silicone holder (condom-type cover) off an extra replacement head, cut off the bottom to make an open tube and slit the tube lengthwise to make a flat piece of silicone. I sat the tank on it, then traced around it with a marker and cut the circle out. I put the metal piece upside down and laid the silicone on top of it to make sure the circle was the right size, then I eyeballed it and again marked an inner circle on the silicone to hopefully match the metal inside the top that the silicone should fit around when in place. Then I cut away the inside circle (think of a flat o-ring). It worked, and it appears not to be leaking. THANK YOU for sharing!

Congratulations! That's brilliant!

Whatever works.

Still can't find any replacement gaskets or flat o rings. Going to use your idea and make some ahead of time, JustMe. Thanks for putting this stop gap measure in there. Marvelous!

Thanks. I just lost the same part. I'm not able to do the fine cutting myself, but I've put this on the to-do list for the next time my daughter makes it up here. No instant gratification, but at least I know that it can be done.

WHY don't they make parts available? Some items come with spares, but not all. I try to be careful, but this time it was on the end of the post when I was putting things back together, but when the gurgling started I checked and it was gone. Must have come off while I was screwing it on.

Got Vapes has the Davide and Davide Mini replacement glass. The glass comes with two o-rings/gaskets so it's sort of a win/win situation.
