Was wondering if there's any plans for colored 22mm O-rings? Bought a couple packs of the 19mm ones and love the way they make the tanks look.

Seeing as those rings get soaked in your eliquid, I'd be wary of any chemicals used to colour them.

My take is that the colors are pretty much locked into the silicone once it is formed into whatever shape is made. You are correct in concern as far as things that are known dangers in even small levels though.

We are currently working with a new supplier for colored orings and washers for all of our tank sizes. This is something that will be coming together this year as accessories for our tanks. We will certainly be diligent in making sure any coloring agents are not something that will pose a risk to ourselves or our customers.

Man, we have everything set up for these but the extra cash to make them happen hasnt appeared. We have a much better arrangement with the new manufacturer for these so it isnt a ten year turnaround to a profit like with the 19mm ones but it is still a luxury for us to be able to offer them. They will happen, they will also be accompanied by washers in each color and covering every size as we add them but it will take us some time to get there.

Hi DHC, The orings have molds made and are awaiting free funds to be produced. These are a little over a grand for each color so I have been draggin my feet a little trying to build numbers on our cartomizers to prevent outages on them. Once we get rolling on these we will try and add a color a month or so and they will be for all of our cap sizes.

On the OOS Caps and Tipsys, I have been putting together a PO for the final colors so we will have these in the next two to three weeks. I can tell you that having so many choices in sizes and colors has been a challenge. Hopefully one day we will be able to inventory on hand enough stock to carry through the ebb and flow but honestly I dont know if that will ever happen as things trend different directions all the time.

hey OCD would it be possible for you to put up a sticky or post on new items as you get them in stock or maybe setup a mailing list. I think it would be great so I don't have to keep checking the website to see if items are available. I just made my second order for 3 more tanks and would have gotten more if colors were available. As soon as they are back in stock I'd like to order more. what is time frame for 2ohm standard 2 hole smok cartos?

Hi DHC, I always post new items here in our forum on ECF. I dont know about a mailing list, have always been kind of anti spam and wouldnt want to be sendin folks the thing I wouldnt want to receive.

The colored orings are on hold until things turn a little better, we just dont see the free funds for a long term item like these are. We certainly dont mind investing in the future but have to consider what is most important right now.

Have not heard on our cartomizer order. I would think they would be shipping by now as it has been some time. I will shoot them an email to see if I can rattle a cage.
