Replacing bottom o-ring on Crown IV ?

[DJ Colonel Corn]

Hi vapers.

So I wanted to change out the o-rings on my Crown IV tank as it has a bit of a leak when it's almost empty....

However, I can't figure out how I'm gonna get this o-ring out.
Any tips ?

​

Any ideas are much appreciated ! Thx !

EDIT: Got it out with a tiny dab tool !

Thanks, y'all !
Ha ha, now, if only I could find someone who sells oring ktis for less than $12.95 !!
That's not with shipping, that's $12.95 per pack !

They are the only ones I've found who have it, everyone's out of stock, and I guess they know that.
However, I can get a new Crown IV tank for like $25.
Meh.

Do you know the sizes of the o-rings you need? If so, I agree with @somdcomputerguy . There are many places to buy spare o-rings, including FT.

you should also get some glass,while your at it a few new tanks for spare parts.a new style of tank would help, a new mod to match too.

Sure they do, but to find these exact o-rings would be quite a chore. Thickness counts too besides width, inner diameter, and out diameter, and thickness is not listed.

Impossible to gauge, they are specialized.

No, I fear I may have to pay the $12.95, because, not only are the specialized, there are about 8 rings in the pack, 8 times 2 bucks even is $16, so......
Gonna have to bite the bullet and pay for these o-rings.
Gosh, I wonder what shipping will be, ha.
Well, the o-rings are 1/2 the price of a new tank, so what the heck...

Looks like more of a gasket than an o-ring to me.

You should at least check out what FT has available. Not only do they offer 'generic' o-rings, they have ones for particular devices as well.

Look thru 13 pages or spend 13 bucks, maybe unnecessarily, and that doesn't count gas or shipping?

Granted, anything ordered from FT is going to take longer to get here, so if this is a 'need right now' thing, a few extra dollars may be worth spending.

It's technically called a square o-ring.
