hi
I need some batteries (for the 14500 mini) and some drip tip o-rings.
RTD has batteries, no 510 drip tip orings
the places I have found that have the orings don't have the batteries

so before I spend a fortune in shipping charges I'm just checking to see if anyone knows a place that has both
thanks!

I am finding what you did, either one or the other. Not many places stock drip tip o-rings!

Nice to see you here, Cags! :) Looks like Avid will be your best bet. In the mean time, can you salvage any orings from other tips you may have? I have drip tips I don't care for and I use those orings on the ones I like, if I need to swap them for better fit. I also broke a drip tip and threw it out, but only after taking the oring off and stashing it for just-in-case.

Maybe one of the vendors at the vape meet in October will have some orings. I know one of the vendors carried 14500 batts, too.

Madvapes doesn't carry AW IMRs.

If you're fussy about only using AWs, Avidvaper.com carries both:
Drip Tip Replacement O Ring - Avid Vaper
AW IMR 14500 LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery - Avid Vaper

I got all excited, but they are out of batteries. but I will watch for restocking, thanks!

hi cat :) I didn't realize a vendor there had the batteries, but it was almost impossible to get to their tables. maybe I can get there earlier next time :)

thanks everyone!

Just an FYI. Drip tips don't all use the same oring size. I though there might be a "standard/common" size used for them & while searching I did find a couole of size references but there is no standard. I don't have a whole lot of drip tips but even with the small amount that I have there are at least three different sizes on mine.
