I got some from Madvapes just lately. I'll admit I haven't yet looked at this closely (but will need to fairly soon), so it may be boringly obvious: is there any trick to getting to old one out and the new one in?
Curious about the technique as well.
As to the o-rings themselves, Harbor Freight tools will sell you an assortment of about 200 in differing sizes for all of $3. If you have one near, drop in and have a look, if not they have an on-line store.

I just tryed to take the inner o-ring out, never changed one befor, its E-Z get a tooth pick and pry it out, mine came right out.
a dental pick works a lot betterjust tryed again...eye-balling the o-ring..looks like 12mm out side dia, 10mm in side dia...

I'm assuming that an o-ring from any standard 510 drip tip would do the job, but then you'd have no drip tip o-ring.
Someone posted above that you can get them from mad vapes for 30 cents. That's a good deal if you are already ordering something from them. Harbor Freight tools has them also but they are part of a larger pack of assorted sizes. You'd probably get 30 or so of the correct size for $3. Also, I had broke the o-ring off a drip tip a while back and went into my local ace hardware. The guy sold me a new one for about a nickel.

Thanks for that! Now I'm not so apprehensive to try it. What about laying in the new one? If I ring it around a cartomizer toward the end, will I be able to position it and just pull the carto out?
If you take the o ring with you, you should be able to find em at Home Depot, Lowes or probably most hardware stores, look in the plumbing section. My local Lowes has a o ring size chart makes it easy to match up without looking through them all.
I finally replaced one, and pretty easily, thanks to your advice. I was able to lay it in in almost right position and then worked it a bit into place with the end of a ballpoint pen (one with plastic casing that extends down to the tip and tapers beyond the diameter of the ring). Lubricating the ring with a little PG seemed to help a bit.
Not true at all, because these are metric o-rings. I was all over Lowes, Ace, and HD trying to find them...some were close, but not the right size. The correct sizes for these are
OUTER on 5ML tank- 013 B70 Buna-N 70 O-ring (B70013)
and
INNER on 5 mil tank (probably the same on the smaller one too, but not sure) 1.5mm X 9mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring (N1.50X009)
I ordered 20 of each, with priority shipping for ~$8 from The O-ring Store - Huge online selection of metric o-rings, standard o-rings, hydraulic seals, o-ring kits and accessories!, We make placing your o-ring order and getting o-rings easy! Get the o-ring seals you need, in your hands, at a fair price!
