orings

What do you guys use to change them my regular o ring pic kit is just too big for that is there something around for tanks and rta ? Thanks

Most of my RTAs came with a few spare o-rings. Depends on the topper, but I see a lot of people have ordered from McMaster-Carr. You'd have to get the appropriate measurements of the rings you need.

Sorry I have the orings just looking for a tool to take them off the o ring pics I have are too big for those tiny o rings

I found a dental pick that I have used after sanding some of the sharpness out with a fine knife sharpening stone. Also, I have seen some smaller picks at Harbor Freight but have not used them.

I use a toothpick to remove small o rings

Tooth pick works good thanks

I just use my smallest flat-head screwdriver... just gently get it under the ring and lift.

Sorry @the dog - I misread your question

I use a dental pic but a long sewing needle works also. Just be sure to get behind the ring without poking a hole into it. For driptip I squeeze the ring and put the pic behind where it begins to loop out, the same could work for the other orings.
Drip tip orings loose their ability to snap into the atty so remove the oring from the tip put them into tap hot water with a couple drops of dish soap, good mix, rinse and let them dry and they snap into the atty again. Wash the drip tips also since your at the sink to begin with.
