O-Rings for Drip Tips?

[SimpleSins]

I've got a bunch of drip tips that seem to fit some of my atomizers and cartomizers but are too small for others...they stick to my lip after the hit and then fall off and roll away, often under the couch. They are 510s if it matters. I seem to recall reading in another thread somewhere that you can just put a different O-ring on them to make them fit. Where do I go to find thicker, presumably heat-resistant O-rings?

I only use Super T's T-Tips, so I'm not sure if this will help.

The OP did a great job of listing dimensions so perhaps you can work with that if your drip tips vary from the original T-Tip.

You can buy them in the plumbing section at Home Depot, or Lowe's the 510/901 tip takes a #47 and the 801 tip takes a #5, come in small packages of 5 or so for about $3- a package.

I got a 30pc variety pack of small o-rings at Harbor freight for around 4 bucks.

Thank you all. I will be picking some up and won't have to resort to using a Band-Aid to hold my drip tip on.

Auto supply stores are also a good bet..... they usually have a section with small parts in drawers. I saw above that the sizes you need was given, so it should be easy if there is an auto store closer to you..... just a thought

#60/#47/#36- The middle number is the one they come with. The other 2 are for ones a bit tight and ones a bit loose. They are made by Danco. If you don't want to buy anything you can use dental floss and wrap it around the bottom of the o-ring until it fits tight. Once you have it snug-tie it off and cut off excess. HTH
