Orings keep ripping in my tank...help.

[steven445]

My Orings keep ripping everytime i put in a new cartomizer in my tank or if I move the cartomizer down to refill the tank.
I bought XL cartomizers for my XL tank from IB Tanked so everything should fit fine.
Is their better Orings you can buy or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Go to a health food store and get a small bottle of organic VG. Any time you replace a carto, lube up the o-rings and the outside of the new carto with a little VG. That should keep them from ripping when you put new ones in.

As for the o-rings ripping when you are refilling, there should already be enough juice in there to keep things lubed up. Maybe try twisting the cartos a little before you push them down?

Good luck...

I found mine rip when sliding the cart back thru the top. Alignment is the key and using the slide thru drip tip from IBTanked helps if you keep it attached when sliding down and back through.

get a tank filling tool. That will stop it from ripping. You can also push your drip tip in past the o ring and then push the carto up onto the drip tip before pushing the carto up threw the o ring. That works great for me. I have been on the same cheap smok tank for like 6 months with no problems doing it this way. The tank filling tool or the drip tip just stops the sharp edge of the carto from cutting the o ring. Good luck.

Being the cheap guy that I am, I considered making one of these things at work with stainless steel.
Got out my calipers and measured the cartomizer. Now I know where the HH .357 possibly got it's name. I thought it was a cool handgun reference. Turns out my cartomizer is .357" in diameter. Maybe the HH .357 atomizer is the same!

The drip-tip idea is a good one! Maybe somewhere amongst the tips I have one will fit part way into the tank.

I use the Siam Mods fill tool. It's pretty cheap and works as advertised.

I just use the juice I am going to fill the tank with as lube for the orings. Soak a qtip and rub it onto the orings then use a refilling drip tip as graybuck and buzzlove mentioned. Never have had to replace orings yet. Its the sharp edge on the cartos that will tear them so using the drip tip covers that sharp edge and lets it slide through without damage.

Hope you are not trying to be incognito, OCD. Guys, this is the tank man himself of IBTanked!

I've tried a few of the different tank accessory tools, and although most "will work", the best designed and the one that works the best is the Slap-Yo-Momma tool from Big Daddy Vapor. Trust me, it costs a little more but its better, hands down.

Yet another enthusiastic vote for the Slap-Yo-Mama - simple and works perfectly.

I love the slap yo mamma as well but I lost mine and am not willing to pay 13 bux for another.
