What i meant was...Can anyone here recommend me a shop they frequent personally for small sized o rings suitable for our special usage?
I've visited a few hardware vendors but a lot of them neither do walk in sales or have very small sized o rings.
Hence,trying to ask the Modders here for known sources that are sales friendly for noobs like me.

When you say small size, what size ilare you looking for?
"Small" is hardly a safe word for anyone to help you on.
Give the sizing and others can help you correctly.

Thanks for reply...I'm looking at 12.3MM to be exact based on calculation.
But 10mm-14mm in various sizes should do for experimentation :)

O rings go by sizes in this manner: diameter by thickness
Eg. 10 x 1 (mm)
You should find what you're looking for at Garlin. If using anywhere that contacts juice, ask for food grade (Orangy-red coloured) instead of the usual black.

how nice you want, GITD?

for normal type, can try here

Garlin

Wow...I totally did not consider GITD O rings to be honest!
Could be nice way to bling up device further,since all the common anodized,gold,chrome etc a little boring at times.
Thanks for suggestions and link abarth!
Will drop them a call to see if they entertain walk in crowds with minimal purchase quantities.

Thanks for help guys,your replies have pointed me in the right direction :)

Important thing learnt here regarding food grade O rings,did not realize that there existed such a specific grade!
So thank you for reminding me.I definitely do not want to vape any rubber components along with my liquids.
firstly do you have the oring sample if yes go down to garlin and pass it to them they will measure for you.
Unfortunately i do not have a sample size as everything is currently on drawing board,so trying to assemble parts to mess around before proceeding further. This is very new to me as I've never bought o rings in general seeing as how i never really needed such a specific part. Vaping truely brings out the technical side :evil:
