O-Rings (The bane of my life)

[MoltoCraft]

I have about 5 different tanks and loads of RDA's aswell as rebuildable coils for my tanks.

And every single tank and RBA coil has loads of little o-rings of all different sizes, and my question to you is which ones do I get?!?

I like to keep spares of everything and I just have to buy lots of different types of o-rings and "hope" that I get the right ones (Unless I was to spend hours measuring the 30 different types of orings all my tanks and RDA's have.

Why can't someone just sell a box of orings that contains all the different sizes that exist from small to big?

Anyone else have this issue?

Fasttech sells rubber o-rings for e-cigarettes. A pack of 20 of a size is about $1. they have a couple of thicknesses and diameters in 1mm increments. I bought a dozen sizes a while back to help adjust the fit of rda componants. It would be nice if they would sell an assortment in an rganizer box. May be all they need is some suggestions from customers. They seem to try to sell everything that might have a market.

Assorted orings

I use to primary stores, one for bulk and the other for smaller quantities. Most of the one's you'll need are 1mm thickness to I linked you directly to that size. For tanks and RDA's most of the base o rings are 15 X 1 through 18 X 1 and the smaller o-rings you'll need to buy samples. I started an excel spreadsheet to track mine once I found the right sizes.

This is what I ordered, I tried to order some big ones and small ones.

I mean, they don't have to be exact as I am sure they can stretch a bit!

I did several orders a while back. I really got a bit organized about what I wanted first. The DT and chimney o-rings tend to be down around 1x4 or 1x5mm, but I got the half sizes, too. I have toppers in the 16-18mm size and then in the 22-23mm area. Also, 1.5mm o-rings are helpful. Again, half sizes included. Then, there are the flat o-rings for sealing glass tubes...

It took some thought, hence, the several orders. With 15 or 20, I figure I am done with the issue.

FF, did you find the flat one's you mentioned? I'm looking for those to round off my o-ring collection

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Just the ones from FT mentioned just above my last. Maybe someone will chime in. Spare screws are the same way. A little bit here, a little bit there. I wish sizes were listed with the product. Also, searches in the sub-forums may help. It has been a while since I did that.

On fasttech,
You should check the discussions listed with the atty you are trying to service.

Ask the members there what size O rings or screws you need. They will tell you and link them if available.
Those folks live for this kind of stuff, and are extremely helpful.

3fvape also has some oring collections:
Multi-size White 225 PCS Silicone Ring Set for E-cigarette
also comes in red, unfortunatly not in black

But I agree it's a big PITA...same with spare glass and screws...that's why I keep my collection in tanks limited to just a few types.....just one type for each occasion (factory DL, factory MTL, RTA DL, RTA MTL, stealth), so I only have 5 types of tanks....but multiple tanks of each

Your local hardware store carries most sizes. Bring your orings to the store and match them up then buy them. Speciallty hardware stores usually carry more sizes.

For most of my fasteners this is my go to for metric. Delivery is insanely fast and the CS is outstanding.

Thanks! I had not thought of that. I thought I was going to have to measure every one of those suckers.
