Any update on the replacement o-rings?

I'm glad I found this thread. Because I tried to contact JJ through email, FaceBook and I put a ticket in with Avid all about orings and no one got back to me. At least, now I know that I'm not the only one waiting for them. It sucks that I have an $80 tank I can't use because if orings.

I did contact Avid and they said to send the tank in for replacement Orings. Avid informed that they can't get ahold of JJ either. So far, I contacted him through Facebook, PM's here and his email. I've heard nothing. He has been around too, because he has posted pictures of his setups on FB.

What's different about the replacement rings? And how long did it take?

My O-rings from the start were bad, so I really didn't experience a difference in one versus the other.
The usually few days it takes for them to ship after I returned it, a few days.

I finally got sick of the bad o-ring fit, and found some that fit really well (better than what ships in the parva tanks).

I tried a slew of different sizes at work (we have huge bins of various o-rings for past product prototypes) to ensure that these were the best fit possible. The other advantage is that both top and bottom rings are the same size now, making for easier replacements.

If anyone is interested, they are a non ASME standard size on applerubber.com, size 0.347 x 0.059, 70 durometer Buna-N.
